I was in school for six grade art class when we heard the news. I didn’t understand but I knew something was up. Then after school, I was REALLY confused when there were DOZENS of cars parked out at our school after they canceled classes because everyone was calling to pick up their kids. And everyone was afraid of gas prices. So the cars were also lined up at the gas station right across from out school.
I went home and turned on the news and was horrified.
I’m in Australia, when I woke up a bit earlier than usual because mum had the tv on, and she never has the tv on in the morning before she goes to work and i go to school. And I just saw what was happening on the screen. I’ll admit I didn’t think much of it then, I was only about 13, but at school we would try to put a tv on in one of the classrooms during lunch with some friends to see what was going on, surprisingly not getting told off.
i was probably outside playing with my present from that year, i was 4, and my birthday was the day before, i can’t remember the day for the life of my, but i think i got a spider man toy and batman legos. also i live in Canada, so i don’t think my family even watched anything about it
I was in sixth grade heading to my 5th period geography class. I walked in saw the pictures, but didn’t know what it meant. After that period kids in my school were leaving right and left to go home. It was a very quiet day in school. By the time I got home my parents were both watching the news and explained to me what was going on. I also remember calling my friend whose uncle worked in the world trade center (he was fine because he had called in sick that day luckily).
At my friend’s house after school.
But as I live in London, the 7/7 London Bombings have had more of an effect on me I think. I remember the phone lines were being used so much by people checking their loved ones were okay, that when I tried to call my parents it didn’t work…My best friend and I sat crying for hours thinking they were dead D: my question for you guys is: I am still kinda scared when I get on the tube that there will be a terrorist attack – is this the same for you and planes?
I was woken up by my step-dad, and I didn’t believe it for the longest time either. He told me and I watched them speak about it on the news but it wasn’t till I actually saw the video that I began to realize what had happened. It seemed so surreal, and even going to school and seeing it on the tv… looked like a clip from a movie not reality. (From Canada)
i was at year 7 football, (soccer), trials in england. We were all in our P.E. kits outside of the changing rooms and the teacher came over and told us all. Nearly everyone didn’t know what the teachure meant, we were all young and not everyone knew what the world trade center was. I remember going home and seeing my mum watching it on the news. She was devastated, my auntie had been at the building the week before, i just couldn’t comprehend the event, i couldn’t believe that it was real.
I remember sitting at the kitchen table doing my homework and turning on the tv. Some kind of hollywood action movie was on and it didn’t interest me much, so I turned off the tv again. About a half hour later I tried again and the still showed the same parts of the movie with smoking towers and exploding planes, so I switched channells and the played the same movie on the news channel. That’s when I realized something was wrong.
I was in my 2nd grade classroom. And my dad came to pick me up from school early. Like before lunch early, I remember eating the sandwich I packed in his car. My teachers were watching the news one this tiny tv.
I was sitting in my sixth grade classroom. I live in Canada, but it just so happened that that one year, for the only time in all of my schooling experience, in a town with a population of 1000, I had a teacher from the states – from New York. One of the other teachers came in and whispered something to her and I could see that she was horrified… and then they brought in a tv and turned on the news.
I was in 6th grade. The principal of my school called us into our “auditorium”(our cafeteria has a stage) and then she told us all what happened.
september 11, 2001 was my ninth birthday…. i remember walking through the hallway of my grade school in the morning before school started and seeing flames on a TV in my former first grade math/religion teacher’s room, and i was mildly concerned in my third-grader way, but i moved on, and then i gave my class mini-cupcakes, and then i realized my dad was supposed to be flying home that day, and i got scared, but he was okay, and then i forgot my leftover cupcakes.
I was in my 4th grade class writing a composition when the students were suddenly being called off one by one. By the time I was called to the main office, 13 kids were already gone. When I asked my mom, all she mummered was bombs, and was silent for the rest of the car ride home. She just turned on the t.v. for me to watch, and started calling my dad, and the rest of her family from outside the U.S. I watched CNN for two days straight (school was shut down)
I was in 5th grade in Singapore. Our friend upstairs called my parents super early in the morning and told them to watch the live footage. It was on again when we were getting ready for school. My little brother and I didn’t quite know what was going on, just that it was bad.
I had been out shopping, getting things so that I was ready to go back to university. I came home and turned on my TV and for a moment, I honestly thought that it was a trailer for a disaster film. I can distinctly remember saying to my mother “Well, that’s disgusting.” That was the point where we both realised it was actually happening.
That is a cool recycling bin.
Ah, I was in 6th grade, and I didn’t really know what the heck as going on cause mom woke me up and said “The Twin Towers are being blown up… or something…
I left school, came home (it’s 6 hours later here) to my grandmother who usually never watches TV, but the TV was on and stayed on for the couple hours that I was there. It was weird so I asked her what was going on and then she said “something bad happened”
I was 10, but I remember being very influenced by it.
I was in my kindergarten classroom and I didn’t even know anything was wrong until my Mum came and picked me up.
I was in my second period Spanish class on Sept 11
i was in my 6th grade math claas doing a pop quiz when the principal announce it on the loudspeaker,it crashed.
I was in the third grade and my teacher played on the tv adn started crying. I remember my mom wouldnt let me go trick or treating that year because she was scared.. so I got to have a halloween party and I’ve had one every year since. :]
I was in a very early year of school not sure which year. I didn’t know what was going on, our teacher never turned on the news. Almost everybody in class was getting pulled out. I found out when I got home.
I was in kindergarten, and don’t remember it being mentioned during school. When I got home that day (the school was 1 block away, so I walked home) my mom and grandma were watching it on the news in the living room. Being 5 years old, I had no idea how big of a deal it was, so I just went to my room and played my Croc 2 video game.
I was in second grade and we were in the cafeteria eating when my mom came in to tell me that planes had flew into some buildings in NYC. I didn’t realize the impact of it at the time, but I do now.
I was in preschool and I saw it happen live on Good morning America…They pointed the cameras outside directly at the towers and I saw the second plane crash into the second tower
