9/11

Ah, all you ickle childiwinks.

"Gorram terrorists, blowin' up our skyscrapers and giving us the perfect excuse to start a pointless war!"

Related.

I vaguely remember my brother snarking "At least it were just Americans" or something like that.

Woah, even as a child he was a jerk!

I was still in Hong Kong then in high school, and I remember getting the news after the towers were down. And there were headlines everywhere the next morning (it happened at nighttime in HK due to the time difference). That was in Hong Kong, mind you, the other side of the planet.

Then my substitute teacher made a joke about it that day. It was not funny.

I got up just in time to see either the second plane hit or the first tower fall. I can't quite remember what one is was because they kept replaying the planes footage over and over.

I definitely saw both fall, however.

NBC's 'Today' skips 9/11 moment for Kardashian

NBC must be the the No-Brains-Channel if they do that. Such pants on head retarded to chase after the Kardashians on 9/11.

I was 5, a couple months a way from turning 6 at the time. All I know is I still lived in De Leon at the time, I don't remember anything else.

the big discussion on my end was if releasing Modern Warfare on 9/11 would be controversial or not.

Activison would totally do it, since they like being overly provocative just for the sake of being more popular.

I was like,... young, then. 2001 was a long time ago. I think.

But yeah, this was big.

AND THEN THEY DID 7 JULY.

That was also big. Not in the same way, but still big.

11 Sept shifted the entire attitude of the first-world towards this kinda stuff. For the worst, for the better. Who knows.

I was 4. It was the same day I fell off my tricycle and scraped my chin. I wonder why I remember that.

There's a joke I could make out of that. But I shan't.

I remember being confused by the name the event was dubbed with and saying "Shouldn't it be 11/9...?"

That's unAmerican.

The OP is lacking context, I say. It should've been titled "September 11".

My experience of the day, by the way.

11th of September, surely?

I concur with Jonesy.

I'll just put this right here.

I was in third grade,woke up after all of it,except the last tower falling (Pacific Time and all)

My therapy (since my parents thought I was autistic,and I had reading issues anyway) was canceled,everyone at school looked distraught,especially one girl who literally just moved from there.

I was in 5th grade and was getting ready for school when it happened.

I was kind of surprised how little it was mentioned that this was the first 9/11 since we got Osama.

I'm Irish, so I apologise if I'm intruding, but I remember where I was on 9/11. I was five, and was home from school for about half an hour. Watching TV when suddenly the news comes on and starts talking about it. I definitely saw South Tower go down, not clear if I remeber seeing Plane 2 hit North Tower and I think I was eating dinner when North Tower went down.

That day changed the world. Somehow, I think I knew that when South Tower went down.

I was 4 when it happened and at preschool.

I was in 1st grade. I remember the teaching assistant we had running in and saying osmething about a plane flying into a tower. My mom picked me up at the end of the day, and took me home, where my grandma was glued to the TV. After that she never looked at planes the same way again. My cousin also worked across the street from the WTC (but not in it, but she now works in the rebuilt one). She said that she got on the train to go to work and literally saw the building on fire outside the window and turned around and went back home.
