I had just stepped out of the shower when I heard my parents talking the the other room, I went in to say happy birthday to my dad, and I saw the first plane hit the tower. I really didn't think it was that big of a deal, just an accident.

When I got to school everyone was talking about the second plane, and how people had started saying it was a terrorist attack. after first period, I got called into the front office because my dad was there to take me home.

It was about 4.30/5.00 pm. I was 8 and I was watching some Mexican soap with my mom, and then they cut it and started to show the towers. At first I didn't understood what was happening because there were no sound...It was a very sad time.

Ohhhh. :| That's got to be embarrasing.

I was in First Grade and getting ready for school when my mom turned on the TV and showed me what was going on, but i was only 6 or 7 years old so i didn't really care, 'cause i didn't really understand what was going on..

I was teaching a class of seventh graders, when there was an anoouncement to turn on the TVs in our rooms. What pissed me off was that a couple of students were saying "Turn it off. This is boring."

I was oblvious to the fact until after school. ( grade school) Unsuspectingly watching teachers cry and try to hide the tears. Then I went home where my mom left the TV on and I thought it was a joke until I realized it wasnt. Now I can see how in such a shocking situation like 9/11, people can be so blind to the evidence given to them and freely believe whoever the government says was responsible.

I was asleep then I woke up, heard the news once. didnt quite care (im not american) went to school, was forced to sit infront of the TV screen watching the same news reel over and over again for 6 hours, went home to watch cartoons, same news was on every channel. Had a spazz attack that american news shouldnt be on our TV. I know its bad and all but it shouldnt be on every channel in another country on the opposite side of the world.

I was in 4th grade at the time. The teacher was just telling us about what happened.(9/11) She also said most parents would come to pick their kids up so there's no reason to continue the lesson. A few minutes later my mom came to school and took me home.

Ft. Bragg, in VACR training. Everyone was brought into the office when the first plane hit. When we saw the second plane hit, we all knew what was going on. Needless to say, the entire base was put on alert, and I spent the whole day/night guarding a road on base. A month or so later, we had boots on the ground in Afghanistan.

I was in school. Though they didn't tell us what was going on. They just acted like there was nothing wrong with half the kids leaving for home. It was scary. Being nerdy and a science fiction fan, I thougt nukes went off or something to that effect. We had no idea what was going on. Latter (at home)I found out that the trade center got hit, and that the principal wanted our parents to tell us instead of the teachers.

I never forgave him.

I was in eighth grade. It was third period, I believe. I was sitting in art class when the first announcement came on. I live just outside of NYC, so a lot of people in the school had close relatives who worked in the WTC and were very worried. You could see the smoke from my school, it was crazy. Teachers set up TVs so that we could watch the live coverage of what was going on, and the principal continued making announcements throughout the day to keep us informed. A lot of people left the school, but I figured there wasn't much of a point.
