I'll never forget that day. I was getting ready for school in 7th grade and watched the second plane hit live. I remember having the most eerie feeling come over me as I realized it was intentional.
We watched TV at school all day, and I'm glad they let us do that. This was something that needed to be seen and remembered forever, awful as it was. Watching the towers fall knowing there were thousands of people in there gave me knots/butterflies in my stomach like you get when you're falling. It's still all so vivid. I remember my history teacher, a 6'5" former marine and beast of a man, breaking down into tears as he tried to make sense of it for us kids.
People need to never forget what that day felt like, if for no other reason than the memory of those who died.

I'm the same age as you and I feel the same way. I think that day has shaped the way our generation thinks about the world a great deal. It's crazy to think I will have to explain that day and what it meant to my kids someday

At this point I hope it's a bot some bored tiger ranter set up, because the alternative is just sad to even think about

I was driving to school listening to Kidd Kraddick's show. They were talking about the first plane hitting and being 16 and not having a good grasp of the situation compared it in my mind to the B-25 bomber that hit the Empire State Building. While tragic, nothing too serious.
Then they started freaking out when the 2nd plane hit and it was obvious it was intentional. But it still wasnt till I saw the video in my 1st class of the morning did the scale really hit home for me.
The school decided that we would NOT be allowed to watch TV that day so most of us had no idea what was happening (pre cellphones) throughout the day till we got home.

I was a sophomore in college and my first class of the day wasn't until 10:30 so naturally I was still asleep while it all went down. I went to that class and nobody mentioned what had happened, because like me nobody knew it happened. Crazy college kids sleeping as long as they can.

I was in 6th grade and our teacher was the only teacher that told her class in the school.
I remember kids being pulled out of class to go home early. I myself was picked up along with my brothers at 2 pm, and when I got home, that was when I first saw the pictures and videos. My dads work closed early in dowtown Ft. Worth, and we sat as a family glued to the TV.
That night my mom told me that I will always remember exactly where I was, just as she when JFK was assassinated.

I was on staff duty in Korea. At the time the planes hit, it was just past 10pm and I was wondering "what movie is this, I've never seen it before?" because it was on every AFN channel.
We thought that the dPRK would use that opportunity to come across the border so we didn't sleep much the next week.

After the towers had both fallen I left my office and and picked up my kids from school, I think everyone pretty much left work early and did the same. We were all expecting more events here and more things to happen overseas.

My mother called me that morning and told me to go to the TV. I wasn't near one, but she insisted. Her shaky voice let me know something was wrong. She shared with me that a plane had flown into the WTC and that people were trapped. She was crying at this point.
My mother worked in the WTC. I rushed to the television and felt a brief moment of relief. My mother worked in the WTC... In Norfolk, VA. I'll never forget feeling like she was calling to tell me she may not be coming home. I'll never forget my relief at figuring out that she was safe and it was not her building.
I feel for those families who lost loved ones. I will never forget.

I was living in NYC at the time. Worked a couple hundred yards away from the twin towers. Had drinks at Windows of the World (bar near the top of one of the towers) that Friday night before. It's impossible for me to forget.
