  same age buddies?
  
  
  it's shocking on how much damage it did to our country
  
  a few thousand died on that day
  not just the people who were already in that building
  but also
  
  the people on those planes
  like half of new york's fire department was lost when those building went down
  and thousands of the hundreds of thousands who have been in Iraq and Afghanistan
  
  it was truly one of the biggest tragedies we have faced here.
  
  When those towers went down papers littered the streets for months (some on alleyways for years) of the 62? floors in each building
  the blast that occurred injured people and caused a lot of property damage like this even blocks and blocks away

  I didn't even know what the World Trade Towers were at that time. In the morning when we were waiting for the teacher to come, my friend told me that he saw the news that the World Trade Centers fell, and half the kids were like, what is that?

  i was in 5th grade at the time, my teacher turned on the tv and we watched what went on. my stupid classmate next to me got excited and went "COOL! :D" at the planes crashing into the building, pff ¬__¬
  
  i didn't realize what was going on though, so i was basically like "wat D:" the whole time

  Hm, I was in 1st grade.
  
  We had been in school for maybe 15 or 20 minutes (we started at 9AM, I think?).
  Suddenly, there was an announcement for us to go to the gym, and to bring our lunches. At first we thought we were going to an assembly and we were sort of excited, but we had no idea what was going on.
  We got to the gym, and they told us to sit down by our teacher and be quiet. We had to sit for maybe an hour and a half or so, nobody was allowed to leave, and we were all just scared, and some of the teachers were too. Eventually they let us leave the gym, and we went home at the normal time (which happened to be early anyways).
  
  I got home at maybe noon or so, everybody in my family was home and they were watching TV, but they wouldn't let me and sent me outside to play. By then they were just airing the planes hitting the towers, over and over and over. It was pretty sick.
  
  I don't remember when I found out what 9/11 meant, but it wasn't on that day.

  I don't remember it much, I saw it on the news, then that's it, I felt nothing much about ité People die everyday.. that it is sooner or later doesn't change much.

  Well, my brother and my sister lived in Pittsburgh at the time. Now, picture my mom and me sitting on the couch when my aunt calls us and tells us to turn on the news. The plane crashes in Pennsylvania, and they say "It seems another plane has just crashed in Pennsylvania" then go back to NY. Now, not knowing that it crashed prematurely, our minds automatically say that Pittsburgh is the number one target in Pennsylvania, so that's probably where it hit. We're freaking out, but my brother's phone was out and my sister was in class at the time.
  
  Worst two hours. Ever.
