Where were you on September 11th, 2001?

[1c3m4m]

5th Grade, Stepmom came in with tears in her eyes and said get your stuff, the whole class looked at her. We didnt know what was going on because there wasconstructoion going on across the st from our school, so we didnt pay attention to the explosions. Lil Bro said a plane landed on top of a buildin (He was 6 atthe time), I looked up and saw the tower in flames. We caught the last J train going into Brooklyn, they closed down the Trains and Bridges. As we went acrossthe Williamsburg Bridge, We saw the South Tower fell.....Sad day for NYC, all over the U.S for that matter. The sad thing is that some lady on the train had aHusband that was in the south tower, so she cried as it fell. No word if he made it out or not....

My boy Eddie was next to me freaking out. He was like, "This is not an accident. This will be in all of our textbooks. This is serious." I look at him like...Samurai please.

smh

I know this will sound screwed up, but I've never been more proud to be living in NYC and never enjoyed living in NYC more than at that time. Everyone was your family.

True talk, I was going uptown to stay in at my parents friend's house since we couldn't get into our apartment. Bus driver was letting everyone on freeand it was definitly the nicest I have ever seen New Yorkers act toward each other. I remember the unified feeling taking the a train uptown, there were thesetwo high school cats talking "N***** can't do that to New York, who the %%%% they think they is???"

New Yorkers are al usually so independent, and unconscious of each other but that day it was like New York had a unified spirit.

Sorry to hear that fam

and may she R.I.P.

I was in 8th grade homeroom; the T.V. was already on but I had no idea what was going on. All the teachers faces were

and they kept replaying the same footage over and over. Too bad Ididn't fully apprehend what was going on until later on that evening when I got home.

 

[onlyjays9p]

[happy camper]

I was sleeping, my alarm goes off and it's the radio and I hear about the news

 

[mrsneakerman]

I was in 7th grade social studies class. The crazy part is that the day before the same teacher was telling us about the first attempt to take it down. Crazycoincidence.

 

[diplomat007]

i was in class soph yr highschool , teacher sat on the desk and began to tell the class that there was a attack on the World Trade Center . From our school inAstoria , Queens we could see the smoke pouring out of the towers . I got a phone call from mom just crying . crazy day

 

[paul is on tilt]

I was in 11th grade. I was getting ready to go to school and when I got in my car, the radio was on talking about it. I didn't know if it was real or notuntil I got to school and they had the news channel on TV.

 

[ccb21040]

in school i was in the 7th grade. i remember HELLA students(over 100) names being called down to the office for there parents to come get them. i lived like 5mins from my middle school so i ran home as fast as i could cuz i thought the world was bout to end or some ++!%. igot home and watch the news and seen whathappened

 

[jaflash]

I was in 7th grade, there was a bunch of rumors going around about stuff but they didn't announce anything to the students.

I lived on the cape at the time, at Otis Air Force Base and the road leading in to the base had empty checkpoints.

But on that day as the bus drove towards the checkpoint I see all these metal obstacles in the road (think Normandy) so the bus has to slow down to get aroundall the stuff.

When the bus reached the checkpoint there were a bunch of military personnel with guns.

Some guy came on the bus and asked if anyone was given anything to bring on the bus from a stranger.

While this is going on, outside there is a guy with a long stick and mirror checking for bombs under the bus.

Finally the bus clears the checkpoint and I get dropped off at my house where I see all the news on TV.

 

[it is wat it is]

in the 7th grade

 

[stixx]

I was sleeping...my moms woke me up to see it on the news...as I turned it on...the other plane crashed into the 2nd tower and my moms was tellin me that itwas a reply of the 1st one...but it wasn't...

 

[knowledgethefoundation]

I was in 7th grade just got to class and as soon as class starts the teacher was all like "Frankly, I don't give a rats #$% about science today, aplane just hit the world trade center, where my brother works at" and he turned on the tv...later on we saw the 2nd plane hit

 

[stylishstef89]

School, 7th grade to be exact. We could literally see the smoke from our school building. So they gather the 7th and 8th grade classes in a room so we canwatch the news to find out what happened. After that, they pretty much cancelled classes/kids were being taken out of school like crazy and we had recess allday, so it took our mind off of things real quick. When we all got home when it really hit us though.

 

[androoow]
