Where were you on 9/11?

Question

I remember being in 5th grade and my teacher made our class sit down and told us that the twin towers were being attacked. Then my afterschool program was cancelled and I saw it for the very first time on TV. Everything was crazy that day. What about you guys?

Answer 1

I was eating breakfast in the cafeteria of my law school. A friend who was listening to the radio in his car told a bunch of us what happened. We spent the rest of the day watching the televisions in the library.

Answer 2

I was doing salad prep at the fast food restaurant that I worked at during that time in my life. Me and the guys used to listen to a sports show every morning and it was interrupted by news of the attacks. I remember the sports caster thinking it was a hoax because there was an airplane that had buzzed the statue of liberty about a week before the attacks. I was pregnant with my 3rd daughter at the time so the attacks made me very depressed.



On separate note later that year I started working at the daycare where my kids went at the time and there was a little boy that was born on 9/11. He was always really ill and cried an awful lot. All the workers at the daycare were very superstitious that he was jinxed because he was born on 9/11.

Answer 4

It is as clear as yesterday. I was in 3rd grade and i was at lunch. I was eating breadsticks with sauce. My friend kept telling us we had an early dissmissal that day at lunch. We all just denied that we were getting out bc we had no clue wat was happening. His mom came over to our lunch table as she worked there. She told us we did have an early dissmissal today but it was unplanned. The teachers could not tell us what had happened because we would be very confused. So when i got to my day care around 12 my mom was there to pick me up and to then tell me our country had been attacked. When i got home and turned on the tv i then realized what had happened and this would always be remembered as a sad day in US history and this would be a start of a horrible war.

God bless USA
