    15 years ago, what do you remember from it?

    I was in middle school and remember the whole day really, some of the classes just put the news on so we could watch, 1 or 2 classes just had their regular daily plan and then a couple classes kinda tried to explain to us what happened and answer questions about it.

    It was definitely hard to comprehend what was happening.

    i was in my third grade classroom when they announcement came over the loudspeaker ...and as you looked out the window you could see the huge smoke cloud, mind you i was in New Jersey at the time but thats how close it was. Parents were taking kids home early ....and this was before elem. kids had cell phones so it was a crazy time...some kids were scared because their parents worked in NY (some at the towers themselves)...but i just remember seeing that big smoke cloud not knowing WTF was going on


    then after school my dad calls and tells me he planned to take me there that weekend but he got sick and couldnt

    there are only a few times in my life where i remember exactly where i was when something happened, and this was one of them.

    i was 15 years old and in school when this happened. luckily there were a few TV's in the school i went to and they turned one of them on and we were told what happened.

    i sort of knew what happened, but wasn't exactly sure. it was surreal

    I don't remember when it happened cuz I was so young still but apparently I was in the living room with my Dad playing with toys and it popped up on the TV. My Dad called my grandfather telling him what happened and to turn on the news but my grandfather wouldn't believe him. That's about all I know.

    Was in second grade. Handled it like every other person who was a kid at the time, oblivious to what was really happening.

    Freshmen in high school right now weren't even born yet, crazy to think it's literally just history to them

    I was 9 years old. I came home from school and my mom was sitting in front of the TV being very shocked. I watched the whole afternoon only half realizing what happened. Over the years I became more aware of it. Watching movies/documentaries of New York and the fall of the towers/ash in the whole city its like watching the end of the world. Terrible.
