I still remember Sept 11 2001 ..

[8WON6]

on my way to class. got to the building and people were all out in the hallways like "some airplanes hit the world trade center class is cancelled! "....I was like "why would class be cancelled over a plane crash?" then I got back to the dorms and saw the 2nd plane hit, so I just pulled up a chair and sat in front of our tv for like 24 hours straight. Mind you, this is a middle America PWI so to them it was a direct attack on their whiteness, but cloaked in "America". So all these cacs were in full blown panic mode over this shyt. I understand now why they completely acted a fool.

9th grade

big booty Ms Jackson class


staring at the screens with the

was mad cause the Friends season premiere got pushed back

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

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.

Middle school in class.

Teacher came in and told us of the news.

My dumbass misheard him and said "Oh yeah I saw about that in the paper today"

He gave me the look then we carried on with class.

Crazy how people dont care about 9/11 like in years past.

I mean we do have a generation of adults now who dont even remember the WTC or 9/11...that are legit fighting the same illegal wars for this country that we got into frok that day almost 20 years ago.

I kind of dont even like revisiting that day. My cousin worked on the 81st floor of tower one...she was taking the train in from New Jersey and she was late...the train stopped as soon as the first plane hit

I remember way too much from that day and afterwards. visiting a synagogue beforehand on a class trip...one of thw rabbis told us that a plane had hit one of the towers of the WTC. I was listening to Howard Stern in the morning and him and Robyn Quivers were talking about it. It wasnt until we came back to our high school after the trip that we turned on the TV and saw what had happened....truly terrifying. Had friends called to the military bases that day. Deadass we thought the world was about to end.

The next day...seeing malls and businesses empty...seeing Americans immediately just viewing muslims, indians, anybody that looked middle eastern with extreme prejudice...shyt didnt even seem real. Watching TV for the next couple of weeks/months and it was just pictures of people who died in the rubble with their obituaries. I stopped watching TV after a while cause it was so sad and too hard to watch.

First period in 9th grade. I was scared but my parents said to suck it up since all nations face all sorts of tragedies and this was no different from any thing they have seen.

 

[NYSTATEOFMIND]

thanks man...I literally bury the memory but when this day pops up- i relive it mentally

Was in 2nd grade in South Jersey. Saw glimpses of the first tower on the news as y parents got me ready for school. Didn't really think too much of it being a 7 year old. The teacher turned off the TV a little while after I got to class.

 

[NkrumahWasRight Is Wrong]

8th grade study hall iirc

Got the announcement over the loud speaker

People on the bus thought we would be drafted or some shyt

I actually went to my pakistani neighbors house after school. They were super shook of the aftermath/discrimination

 

[GoAggieGo.]

After the initial shock, I just remember hoping my parents would come check me out; had a few classmates get checked out. Nope, I got home and my folks didn’t even really talk about it

 

[OfTheCross]

The whole school got lockdown

Had to rush to Spec's music cause they were closing early...

Got to hear The Blueprint that same night
