Was in high school. I remember being in my English class when all of a sudden they started turning on the TVs in the classrooms to see what was going on.

Not too long after that people's parents started coming to pick them up.

Why people treating this 9/11 differently? It's not a real anniversary like 10 15 20 years

I remember at recess, I was probably in the 3-4th grade, fighter jets flew above my school. My classmates were talking about what might had happened, I think...but at when I got back home, the first thing I saw was the TV on with the news showing the towers burning.

Elementary school, german class. Had to create dialogue between two people in german. Didnt do the homework the night before so I did it during lunch before class. My partner didnt do chit. So I created a dialogue between a random man and oj Simpson that went like this. Remember this is all german and my partner didnt know what non of it meant so he said everything I wrote. And the crash happened early morning that day

Ring ring*

Oj simpson: hello, is this...
Man: yes, who is this?
Oj simpson: this is oj simpson I need your help
Man: ok what is is?
Oj simpson: I was driving away from the cops, and I crashed into the world trade center
Whole class: :gucci:
Teacher: :angry:

Took me and my partner outside and started destroying us, I ain't know what happened just some plane crashed I was a kid.

I was in 7th grade. Woke up for school and saw a building burning on TV. Thought something in downtown LA was on fire. Didn't realize something was wrong until I got to school. My English teacher was British and was talking about that shyt enthusiastically. My science teacher had it on TV. The thing I remember was that it was a Tuesday, we were scheduled to get out early and my friend lent me Dragon Ball GT Final Bout and the Digimon card game with a spring for my PS1 to do the trick. From my house you could see 2 LAX flight paths so planes were always flying by, during storms planes would fly directly over the house in the opposite direction. Planes were always so low you could see the people in the windows. There were no planes in the skies that day. Not a single one. I remember a huge ass military plane flying the path closest to my house a while after 9/11. It only happened once but it was crazy to see.

I was mad Saturday Morning cartoons didn't air for like 2 or 3 weeks. Wondering how long that shyt was going to be talked about.

That episode came out on September 27. Don't all the shows come back with new episodes in the last week of September? :jbhmm:

But you're right about 9/11 affecting the show. Season eight was supposed to be the last one, but they decided to keep going because they felt like their fans still needed the show. And they had to come up with an entirely new subplot for one of the episodes because the original one had Chandler making jokes about bombs on planes. :huhldup:
it was supposed to air a week or 2 earlier than that...it wasnt 911 specifically but i do remember trying to watch and it was just news coverage

edit: looked it up

"Season 8 was originally scheduled to premiere on Thursday, September 20, but it was cancelled due to the September 11 attacks, which caused entertainment to be postponed. Consequently, this season was pushed back until Thursday, September 27, 2001 and the promotion campaign was toned down almost to the point of abandonment."
