What were you doing when 9/11 happened? I bielieve it happen somewhere between 8 AM - 11 AM.

Hopefully you know the date.

That was the day we got our first computer. I remember my Dad was picking me up from school early with a weird look on his face. I was real into history and all, so when I found out what had happened, I was amazed, yet devastated. My Dad rushed to the gas station, to get gas because everybody thought they might tackle our oil supplies, too. I was kinda scared. I was in middle school, so I was old enough to be scared about it. Because if you're really young you just wouldn't know what the hell was going on and wouldn't be too scared. But yeah, what were you doing when 9/11 happened?

I was at work and dumbstruck that it happened. I watched as the second plane hit and then again as the first tower collapsed. I had customers to take care of so I didn't have much time to watch everything unfold, but did see reruns of it later when I got home.

Oh, the word is devastated not debastated.

Sleeping.

Then I got to school and was wondering what the heck everyone was talking about, since there seemed to be a monolithic discussion I wasn't in on.

Getting ready to go to school, was eating breakfast with the morning news on and it showed the planes hitting the twin towers. Was 13 at the time. There was an announcement at school that day about what happened if I remember correctly.

I was in class. Third grade, to be exact. The teacher next door came in and told my teacher to turn on the news, so we started watching a little bit of it. Soon enough, we got out of school and I saw the towers fall live from my living room.

I haven't either. I got home and my Mom was watching it on the T.v., I was young so I had no idea what was going on until she explained it to me.

I was in 4th grade. I was in class and the intercom goes "The United States has just been attacked." Teacher turns on the TV and I remember seeing the two towers burning. Didn't find out that it collapsed until I got home.

I was at school. I was wondering why everyone was glue to the TV, and there was a little chapel outside of the student union where someone set up a radio with quite a large gathering. It was a very strange day...

I sort of agree actually. I remember at the time so many people were scared about a future terrorist attack. 9/11 was devastating but that second major attack never happened in the US.
