Simple thread. Can believe it was 14 years ago almost. Post where you were and how old you were. Serious replies only please.

I was 11 years old and in 6th grade when it happened my parents picked me up from school because they were afraid there might be copycat bombers. Remember how eerily quiet the skies were for like a week.

Where were you, when they built the ladder to heaven.

I took the news with a grain of salt at the time. Now i don't care. Was more than a decade ago, and considering the things we've done, next.

I was in 6th grade. I remember my friend had been at a doctor's appointment that morning and had seen it on the news, so he told us about the twin towers being hit. I didn't believe him, until later that afternoon the teacher got us all together and told us.

I remember the feeling of shock and disbelief, lots of parents picking kids up at school, and the endless news coverage. For me, it was scary to find out that two of the planes had taken off from Boston, my home city. That night I heard a low flying plane outside my window and I remember feeling scared.

i was at school in florida, and some mentally disabled man-child was reading a book to me.

I remember absolutely nothing of it but me sitting on my mothers lap watching some kind of show when there was a "breaking news" which got my mother really shocked so I tried to comfort her. That's all I remember.

But who's to blame me for that? I was just a 6 year old Dutch kid at that time!

I was 6 or 7 and my family and I was sitting around our tv. I remembered my dad was so shocked he was standing in front of the tv. I remember seeing some of the footage of one of the planes crashing.

Couple of days later I was at school, and one of the classes had drawn pictures(just random pictures) which the school posted in the gym. One of the pictures was a plane crashing into one of the twin towers. Dont know why but that picture hit home for me and ive never forgotten about it.

Five years old sitting at home in England not giving a fuck.

Kind of like I am now, really. Except fourteen years later, of course.

I was sitting in a room and didn't gave a chainsaw, but then I was pissed off when I realized that I couldn't watch usual programme on tv, because they were talking about this attack for few hours.

I was fking ur momma

Well Im glad we all took this thread seriously. Good lord

I was 2

Dad?

Tsh, I remember my brother saying "They bombed something in America, it's big." And I said "Oh, well."

Pretty much how I respond to most things these days, even 14 years later.

I was in class my senior year of college. It happened just before my break, so I saw the 2nd tower fall live when I got home. I will never forget it.

Given the recent lack of aptitude for forming simple discussion within this forum, I am not at all surprised by the disrespectful replies on this post.

I am from the Washington, DC area and was in high school during the events of 9/11. I vividly remember watching the events of 9/11 on TV throughout the entire day of school. For me the most frightening part was the plane which crashed into the Pentagon, as I had several classmates with family working in the building.

I sympathize deeply for people who were shocked, depressed or personally impacted by the attack, but I personally don't care about the event. It's not the first time American blood was spilled on American soil.

I was one and distictly gave about as many fucks as I give now (admittedly it killed 3,700 people but the bali bombings are just as important to australians and I don't really care about either)

ok i'll play serious then. i was on my first gnarly road trip, 20 years old, broke, eating cold beef stew every day and taking turns sleeping in my friend's station wagon and on the roof. we had just got into boulder colorado from camping in the mountains, and i saw a picture in the newspaper of a building on fire and laughed about it. later that day we just kept seeing people on the side of the road selling american flags (yeah it was that quick) and i became even more cynical about the country i happened to be born in...

i'm not trying to be disrespectful, but if i have to shed a tear for 9/11 i have to shed a tear for everything else, and i just don't have the time. yes it was horrible, yes i feel sorry that i laughed at it, no i'm not trying to hurt anyone's feelings.

The American intelligence agencies are going to watch you closely...you laughed at the biggest terrorist attack on a civilised nation?
