Where were you on September 11th 2001?

I remember the day pretty clearly.

>be 11
>live in Newburgh, NY
>mom is out of town visiting her parents
>dad lets my twin sister and I stay home from school
>was taking a morning nap with dad (fuck off)
>twin sister comes in and is crying and wakes me and my dad up
>telling us planes crashed into the twin towers
>also the Pentagon was hit
>told us that she could see people jump from the towers since they were trapped
>dad looks outside and we can see it's a little hazy (presumably from the smoke)
>guessing at this point is was around 9:50
>we all continue to watch the news and watch as the south tower collapses
>eventually the north one collapses too

At the time I was pretty ambivalent about it all. My dad and sister was pretty engrossed in it. Weird how I actually remember the day pretty well. My mom called to check in and she came home early.

Anyways where were you on this day user?

My 3rd grade science teacher had the tv on and told us to sit down and shut up and we watched it on tv

Apology for poor english

I was sat at home drinking brain fluid when fred ring

'twin tower is fall'

'no'

Masturbating. Ah, things were so difficult back in the day when we had to get our Korean cartoon porn on a 56k modem...

In Aleppo celebrating.
Burning some flags and reading some qurans ya know, kafir.

I was 12. I was kicked out of middle school at the time and sleeping in moms bed because of a/c and comfy. Mom woke me up to tell me. I watched it live. Mom said "there's gonna be a war". I was like wtf.

I was in 5th grade and my teacher didn't tell any of us about it so I found out after I got home.

in my parents' basement

>in Canada, getting ready for school
>watching cartoons
>eating captain crunch
>mom talking to next door neighbour with the door open (lived in the duplex so our patios connected)
>hear her gasp
>rushes in the house saying "the twin towers collapsed"
>go to school, hear very little talking about it
>school assembly is called
>they didn't imbue us with political bullshit
>moment of silence

playing with toy cars i guess

>be 12
>in bed at around 7am
>aunt calls
>tells my family to turn on the news
>says school is canceled
>hear the word "terrorist" for the first time in my life
>crashed planes into world trade center with no survivors
>remember that no one i know lives in New York
>remember that I have never stepped foot in New York
>go back to sleep

What's Aleppo?

>be in 6th grade
>teacher was a former structural engineer
>we turned on the class TV right after second tower is hit
>some of us are just talking among ourselves
>someone mentions if the tower could fall
>teacher says no and not to worry about it
>says it would be laughable if it did collapse
>literally right after the south tower collapses
>teacher is a little stunned
>said something along the lines of "must have been some sort of rare fault with it being built and perhaps the plane weakened it
>assures us the second tower will be fine
>soon enough the second tower falls
>teacher is taken aback
>he starts pacing around the room
>panicky even
>mumbling to himself "jet fuel can't melt steel beams" over and over again
>first class of truthers born

I was 21 and a college Junior. I woke up on my buddies couch after a night of drinking. After taking some bong rips we turned on the TV and watched in disbelief as Jet planes flew into the World Trade Center buildings. We basically didn't move for the next 12 hours.

At high school. I didn't knew until i got home and saw the news.

kek'd

Playing Sonic Adventure on my Dreamcast at home.

>be me
>be up inside of OPs mom
>towers come crashing down
>balls explode inside your mom

coincidence?

Is your sister hot?

Beijing

Jet Fuel can't melt steal Memes.

I was asleep. Fucking American timezones. The next day though the brown kid at our school got beat up. Fun times.

>Picking up paycheque from Karl Rove. "Hey Mr Rove, why did I plant all those bombs in the World Trade Centre yesterday?" He just smiled, looked at his watch, and whispered "3... 2... 1...".

>mfw

walking into my first 1st period class. saw it on the tv, thought it was a movie at first. that whole day we did no school work because all the teachers were glued to the tV. When I got home I could hear jet fighters flying over head.

Fucking hell it was a Tuesday morning. That means you got hammered on Monday night and then woke up on Tuesday morning and immediately started taking bong hits. Didn't you have class?

The American education system, everybody. Give it a hand.

my family is palestinian.

my mom just spent the whole week on the couch crying glued to the news and i was like 6 so i was just excited school got cancelled without realizing what actually happened.

meanwhile i remember my dad and his friends debating about how the mossad were somehow behind this, dude was ahead of his time

Come home from school looking to play some RA2...
My dads home because it's raining and he can't teach kids Tennis in the rain.

I open the door, he hears it storms down to the first floor.

user you gotta see this, America finally got what they deserved! What happened dad? They're fucked someone attacked the WTC. What? Terrorists like a bomb? No idea they're not saying anything they're just confused. I watch it a bit with him and then I give up big deal... I was like 12...

Dads watching it in the living room. I go to my Room fire up RA2 and turn on TV. CNN is going bonkers. Decide to leave it on...

Complete a few skirmish games suddenly the second plane hits the tower. I yell JEBEM TI BOGA! My dad comes rushing. Son what the fuck are you saying? Dad a plan just crashed into the other tower! Hes like no fucking way....

We both go to the bigger TV in the living room and watch for a good hour or so... and then one tower collapses, and then the other.

My dad was so happy you muricans got fucked in the ass. I was mostly hyped to see shit happen like it was in the movies. For me this was like Independence day tier shit. It was so fun!

Wondering why the fuck cheez tv isn't on instead of some boring news about towers.

>Newburgh

i was in gym class. watched the towers burning from the window.

couldn't nope.jpg

i was in junior high, and my estranged shithead dad came all the way from who knows where to then repeat what fox news was telling him the whole way here.

>Newburgh, NY

Junior year of high school

Only time I ever got into trouble because I got caught ditching after fourth period. All we did all day was watch the attacks and I figured I could do that at home.

that's the canadian education system too.

classes are spread out, sometimes you don't have class in the middle of the week or until the evening. are you saying you can't write notes in class with some weed in you? it's pretty easy, plus most of the learning in post secondary comes when you take those notes and use them to find relevant parts of a book

Says the fucking Canadian who probably takes bong rips before going to class.

NOTHIN WRONG WITH BONG RIPS M8

first day of school for me. didn't know what was going on, everyone seemed to be worried though.

>Anyways where were you on this day user?

Was
>Driving to work mid morning.
>Blue skys. Sunny day.
>Flipped on radio.
>911 reports on all stations.
>Listened
>Turned off the radio.
>Thought America is will probably loose its shit over this.
>Get to work.
>Sure as shit, everyone is loosing there shit.
>America has been shit ever since.

How will America ever recover?

No. Of course not. But when you're doing it when you're supposed to be working / getting your life together, then it's degenerate. Keep work and play separate for fucks sake.

I was 5 years old on September 11th, and I lived within a mile of Logan International. Departing planes used to go really low over my house. I wasn't in school yet, so I was just sitting in my backyard watching planes go overhead. I don't remember specifics, but I was out there for a few hours that morning, so I probably saw American 11 and United 175 take off that day.

I wasn't allowed to watch the news that day, but after I became old enough and learned about everything that happened it felt weird to know that people I had seen that day were dead. Two random planes passing overhead would soon become part of the worst terrorist attack in our nation's history.

Within range of the Pentagon to get hot ash fall and hit my face as I went to work.

Strange day.

8th grade spanish class. all we did that day was watch the news, except for math class. History class was the best, since our teacher used to work for the CIA

Celebrating my older brothers 7th birthday.

I remember having a good time we were all just setting up and relaxing. I don't think I went to school that day but I do remember that nobody came to his birthday. Feelsbadman

I was watching Jurassic Park when suddenly the program got interrupted for the news.

To this day I hate sandniggers for depriving me of top-shelf T-Rex action scenes.

>Be me, 20 yo
>Live in Finland
>Be at home
>High as fuck
>Urgent news alert from the telly
>Witness how the twin towers come crumbling down
>Still high as fuck
>This will literally be the end of the world and the beginning of the WW3 t. anons dozed up brain
>Spend the rest of the day calling family and telling them weird ass theories about what happened and what will happend

Hey, I was speaking in admiration of anyone whose first action upon waking up is to immediately hit it. He probably didn't even take a piss first.

Not OP, but there is a town of Newburgh as well bordering the City of Newburgh - suburbia.

Newburgh is a grade A unadulterated shithole of the highest caliber

>be in 3rd grade
>teacher tells us a plane crashed into the world trade center.
>I imagine a single engine cesna hitting some expo center for concerts or some shit.
>Zero idea of what the world trade center was, or that there were two towers.
>Students get sent home.
>ok not sure why they are all upset about a small plane accident but whatever.
>get home and the news is on. all the carnage. the towers falling.
>pretty much lose my innocence about the world that day as I watch people jump to their deaths to escape being crushed in rubble or burned alive.
>play with legos.
And that's what I remember /pol

Are you implying that the American college system isn't exactly the same as Canadian?

>working security at Logan
>bunch of guys get on a plane
>I was too tired to ask them any questions
>not my fault
>ask for a raise

>implying I'm implying

Nah it was just a laugh pal. I'm all for drinking and bongs. I couldn't give a fuck what is like what.

Didn't really hit me until high school how fucked 9/11 was.

Cool story man, too bad in reality your like 12 and this never happened. Oh yeah, you can eat my red white and blue Anglo-Italian American ass

:^

Trying to hide the fact I hadn't practiced my instrument and barely getting by. A teacher walks in and kind of murmurs it to our instructor. His face went down. Next class we watch the news.
I think we watched the news for most the week.

Then one day, we carried on as almost it hadn't happened.
