Where were you when the terrorists crashed the planes?

I was on the school bus when it actually started, but first heard about it in the first class of the day, which was science. I was doing some forgettable assignment. That teacher was pretty laissez-faire, let us do whatever we wanted, so some students had a radio on. I didn't really pay attention to it at first but then people started talking about planes crashing into buildings. At first I thought it was just some drunk pilot near the airport or something, then HOLY FUCK WE'RE UNDER ATTACK.

I remember hearing a lot of false reports at first. The students were parroting the news and trying to get the TV and Internet working. They said planes crashed into the White House and the Empire State Building, and it took a while to figure out which buildings were actually hit.

The rest of the day, we watched the news in every class but one. Fifth-period English still went on as usual despite protests from the students.

I was five years old at that time. I was at kindergarten when the terrorist attacks happened. I came home from kindergarten and watched the news. I've got to say, society has gotten worse since 9/11.

I actually have no idea. I'd have been only 11 back then. Probably at home.

I had just started my senior year in high school, and our principal told us to turn on the TVs around second or third period... (there was a bunch of misinformation at first, but the day went on mostly as usual with classes still going on... we weren't sent home or anything)

Went home and looked at the news reports, then found out what had really happened... :(

I went to the parochial school at the time, and they didn't tell us until the last class of the day. Of course, I wasn't there- for the one time in my life, I exaggerated a slight illness and got sent home early, and didn't hear about what happened until my mother complained about how awful it was that I would do this today (and she could tell I was faking, too)...

I don't think the actual horror of the event ever really set in, though...

Yeah. When you a child, you may not understand such a horrific situation. Today, however, we are now much more affected by the horrific event since we now understand.

I was about 15 at the time. I remember it was a Wednesday; I didn't have school, because of a doctor or dentist appointment. My mom usually has the radio going in the morning while getting ready in her room, and for some reason she didn't have it on. She was almost ready and asked me to turn it on for her. The first words I hear out of that box was "a terrible tragedy in New York this morning."

And then we turned on the TV, about three minutes before the second plane crashed into the other tower. It was at that point we realized we were under attack. We spent the day glued to the TV after that.

Pretty sick shit.

I honestly don't know. I was about four. I didn't care overly much then because I was a child and had my own childish priorities, and the not caring kind of just stuck through my life due to it not affecting me, it being a large percentage of my life ago and me having a problem with empathising with the tragedies of random people. Also I live in the UK which meant it was less explosive (sorry) news at the time

I was in line to cancel a few classes on my classes, so I was in the admin building. I heard some commotion and kinda got the idea that something was up. I headed back to my dorm and turned on the TV. Shortly after the first tower collapsed, the campus was locked down. I spent the afternoon getting in touch with Acmlmers in that area (not too many actually) to see if they were OK.

I was home, I was off from work that day, my Mom woke me up to put the news on and one of the towers were on fire. I saw the other plane hit the other tower and both went down, I was heart broken.

I was in school. It was one of my first few weeks of fifth grade. They did as good a job as they could to try to scare the shit out of me about it.
