9/11

I know this is like totally late but..

What do you remember doing on that day when the Twin Towers fell; when did you hear about it and what was your reaction.

I was in 4th grade [i think] yeah, 4th grade and we were discussing something as a group and then a secertary came in and whispered in my teachers ear and my teacher just bursted out in tears.

Whats your story?

****part of this was excluded because it could have been deemed self promotion

I got up and went to get my mothers birthday present on my way to work. Needless to say it was a birthday none of us will ever forget.

I was in P5 (grade 4) at the time. I don't live in America but I heard about it when I came home from school, then on the tv.

I thought i posted something in here...what happened? i have never posted anything but my own thoughts, never disrespectful to the individual or targeting anyone..if anything, what i wrote was positive.

Please explain.

Thank you Bob, my mistake..

I was in 5th grade and i noticed that throughout the day kids would leave the class and not come back. no one told us anything, i went to my after school program with my little sister (we always walked, it was just around the corner from school) and we stayed there until 7:30ish, though the program officialy closed at 5. we still had no clue what was going on, then my aunt came to get us and she told us that 2 buildings fell down in the city and our parents were staying to help out. my sister kept asking for my parents who were/are doctors in manhattan and i don't think i really reacted, i just kept trying to make her stop crying. my parents came back home on the 15th they were stuck in city working. it was surreal; we actually got the full explanation from my mother when they got back.

I was in 6th grade and we were all learning about math and thats when my teacher got an announcement that we should all turn on the tv's.

I was walking home from school in England and i heard there was a plane crash from a group of women standing at the top of my street.
I was only a kid and was thinking, a plane crash? Why all the panic.
I got home and my dad was home early watching the news and thats when a video was being played and i was thinking, "My uncle works there.. oh no"
Luckily he was fine but what a senseless tragedy.
