Where were you at and what were you doing when 9/11 happened?

Sitting on the couch in the living room, putting my socks and shoes on. The tv was, as usual, tuned to CBS's Early Show. They abrubtly came back from commercial and said that an airplane had crashed into one of the towers. At the time they assumed it was an accident, so they just showed some live footage, talk about it for a few minutes, and then moved on.

It wasn't until my first class of the day that anyone knew what was going on. The assistant principal came into the classroom and whispered something to the teacher. She got this horrified expression on her face as he spoke to her, and my heart sunk a little.

I was in second period English my freshman year.

Out of nowhere we hear something on the PA saying to turn on the news that there was an accident at NY

When I saw what happened I was just dumbfounded, I never thought anything like this would happen.

In the principal's office and when I walked into class I thought we were watching a movie :| I was like "Holy **** that was awesome!" and everyone stared at me.... :(steppinrazor88

HAHHAHA i wish i saw that just so i could see the dirty looks you got. I was in gym class on the way to my next class and some kid came in yelling something crazy so we turned on the tv in our next class to watch it

Me and a friend were on our way to his house,when we got there his mother (who is American) told us a plane had flown into a building in New York.

going to my english class...

I was sleeping, and then my mom was watching the TV and yelled "OMFG!" (In Finnish ofc) and I was like "Wuz goin' on mum?" and she said that "Sumtin awful" then I watched the news for 1 hour and went to bedIgPond

o and 9/11 is my birthday to

Hey urban, where did you get the 9/11/01 never forget thing?Shade-Blade

[QUOTE="guynamedbilly"]I was at school and the teachers wouldn't let us watch it on the tv. I was pissed.jt222_us

what kind of school did you go to? i remember when the okc bombing happened back in 95 and I was in 9th grade at a catholic school and they let us watch it all day and didn't give any classes. did they think9/11 was too violent for you guys to watch while it took place on live news? i'm just curious what their excuse was?

I don't know if they even gave us a reason. I went to a private school, btw. It was pretty bad. I'd never send my kids to a place like that.

I was in school in 6th grade, and the principle announced it on the intercom. I didnt really pay attention to it much, and wasn't sure what he was talking about.

Noone really cared though, i dont think anyone understood what was really going on.

Painting the house with my dad. I thought it was just a Cessna that flew into the building... :|DirkVDV01

thought the same thing when i first heard on the radio that a plane hit. my first thought was "stupid pilot, its a huge building, how do you not see it"

I was luck I was on the 5 floor of the 1 tower and someone camedon with skin coming off saying explosion, explosion, no body understood than janitor came 1 minute later I looked outside and ran for my life. :cry:Suliman-Uchia
