Where were you?

Question

September 11, 2001. 
I was a small child, in second grade. The school day had just began, but I remember my teacher turning on the news and crying. 
I didn’t realize what was going on or why it was so bad until I got home and my parents were there watching the news, as well. That’s what I knew something very, very bad had happened.

Answer

2nd period English class sophomore year. I remember exactly who was sitting around me. I remember the rumors flying throughout the day because my school did not deal with the situation well, we were told after the first tower went down but after that it was radio silence, nobody was allowed in the library or onto the computers. This was before smart phones of course so the only way to get information was second hand through somebody who had overheard a teacher or something.

Answer

I was on my way to work. When I got to work, my coworkers were watching TV and they were saying, “oh my goodness have you seen what’s happened?!” And I said no and started watching the news as well… I was in complete shock but then at 9:03 AM, I watched another plane hit the second tower on live TV. I will never forget that day, especially that moment.
