At high school in downtown Jersey City looking out the window watching the smoke and soot billow across the Hudson and debris and bodies falling from the towers live.

I was about to ask if you went to DHS but you said downtown.
It was my freshman year of high school and we saw everything depending on which side of the school you were on. It seemed that the smoke billowed for months.

6th grade at a brand new school in science class. Mom's worked close to the towers at the time so I was scared shytless. A dope teacher let me borrow her cell to call her. Luckily she woke up late and didn't leave the house yet. Forever changed NY

I had just moved back to Fl. Was working a temp job at a Bacardi factory. The day before I watched a documentary on the The Oklahoma City bombing.


So It’s Sept 11 I was at work and walked into the break room and everyone was staring at the tv’s:ohmy:


I peeked and saw smoke coming from a building and was indifferent :yeshrug: I said oh they are playing that re run from yesterday?:camby:



Went and grabbed my lunch and starting fukking up my sandwich. Somebody said naw breh. A plane hit the WTC. As he was saying that the 2nd one hit. I was :wtf:



Later I heard about the one that hit in Pa and I called home just to make sure everyone was ok

Man I was in American Government class ironically and my teacher was a ex marine. The teacher across the door came in and said something to him and we turned on the TV and the first plane had already hit :mjcry:. This is when they was saying it might be a accident until I saw the 2nd plane hit live :mjcry:.

The 8th grade, in music class.

Seeing all that smoke and the buildings collapsing has to be some traumatizing shyt.

No diss to New Yorkers, but how y'all felt when y'all saw that shyt?

First year of college, my first class was at 7 in the morning.

When I got out I went to the Campus Center and it was EMPTY.

That was strange to me, but it was still early so I'm like "well, I'll be first in line for breakfast!"
So I go to the counter to order breakfast - and the kitchen is EMPTY.
I wait there for like 5 minutes in almost silence...I had my discman (lol) bumpin' ...
... I wanna say Kiss The Game Goodbye. I was in East Coast mode because The Blueprint
was dropping that day, so I was getting my mind ready for it.

So after 5 minutes or so, a lady comes from the kitchen and says "Oh, I'm sorry - have you been here long?"
I say "not really..."
She says "I was listening to the radio - there was a terrorist attack in New York, and it sounded like a mess..."
I said "Say word?", and ordered my breakfast (which was bomb) - at this point I'm thinking it's something like they did in '94...

Then when I go to my second class, my Professor comes in all somber and asks if we saw what happened.
A lot of us have just awaken for that class and chit, so they don't know - some say they heard about it on the radio driving to class and whatnot. So we spend half a class talking about it, then he calls class early.
That was my last class of the day, so I'm like "Bet - I'm finna go cop dat Jay!"

On the way to Best Buy - the streets are EMPTY.
On the middle of the daytime in this bustling metropolis...just bare. It felt spooky.
I get to Best Buy and cop, and I'm riding listening to it on the way home like "I think this chit finna be the one"

... I get home and everybody is at home, which is strange for this time of day.
My Pop, Mama, all of my sisters, my nephews and niece are there because they cancelled school.
Everybody is watching the TV - except Ma who is on the phone freaking out trying to see if anyone has heard from my Auntie, who lives in Washington Heights.

At this point, both of the planes had hit the towers and I finally see it.
They are still trying to find the third plane supposedly headed for the Pentagon. The rest of the day seemed to take forever waiting for that to happen.

5th grade. Was at school for maybe like 2 hours. They sent everyone home because there were threats of the bay bridge being bombed. I remember bush reacting fast tho and America fukking with him for bombing Kabul later that day. I was with the homies playing Spider-Man

I had just moved to Germantown MD a couple of days before, so I was still looking for work at the time. I woke up that morning just in time to turn on the news and see them talking about the first plane crash. At first I thought they were talking about a private plane ala Cory Lidle. Next thing I know the 2nd plane collides with the other tower on live TV....:gucci:

Then a little while later a Plane crashes into the Pentagon. Seems like there were govt helicopters flying around the rest of the day. shyt was surreal. Still didn't stop me from copping the Blueprint later on that afternoon.:mjgrin:
