Talking to my American friend over the internet, and he lives in new York, about a mile away. And all I heard was him yell shit very loud, I laughed not knowing why he did, he spun the camera around and showed me then I saw him sprint out the door. (His father worked there, he got out thankfully. However two other friends of mine did lose someone. Rest In piece Gentlemen *salute*) And yes he left the cam on and while I was staring at it I saw the second plane... Pointless wars, for pointless purposes, there are no winners only those who lose the least.
I was in high school, taking exams. In Indiana, we have IStep exams in our sophomore years. So I was sitting in the theater with part of my sophomore class and a teacher rushed in, held a hurried, whispered conversation with a supervisor in the back of the room and ran out. That teacher then hurried down to the front and whispered to the other teacher.
Of course, we were watching them, confused--no one told us what was going on until the exam was over and we went to class. And everyone was watching the television. We had no class that day. I mean, we all stayed in school but we didn't do anything--we just watched the news broadcast.
My teacher said, "For every generation, there is an event like this. Something that you remember where you were for it for the rest of your life. This is yours."
There was this kid though, in my class. They had to come get him because his dad worked at the Pentagon. As soon as they came in the room, his face went pale and when they gestured to him, he started crying.

I was in 6th grade science. this dude Marshall comes in and tells us to turn on CNN. (We had cable in all our middle school rooms)
We didn't know what the hell was going on. We thought it was some place in China.
DUHH HAH! MURRIKKAN YUTH!

I was in my 9th grade science class. The tv's in the classroom came on and showed the newscast from CNN. I have family in New York and at the time my mother was in Washington so I was antsy the whole day.
I was getting ready for the big move to Chicago, where I decided to go to college... how many transit shut downs that year for supposed "anthrax" finds, to many to count.
Sitting at home watching the news. I was getting ready to go to school, and at school we just watched the news. And I'm in Canada. :x
I was in grade four I was doing math when the towers fell, I didn't find out till when i got home.
At the very second the first tower was hit, my dad was driving me to school. I didn't hear about it until French class at about 2pm when some kid ran into our class and told us "the World Trade Center blew up!" (his exact words). I listened to the radio for the rest of the day.
I went home, I was young, after school, I wanted to watch something on TV, so I flicked it on. I flicked it on just as the second plane hit the Twin Towers.
I was in primary school at the time, primary 7 to be precise. Arrived at my childminder's after school was done to see the news on the television. I was pretty stunned.
I was sleeping because i worked second shift at the time. 4:30pm -2:30am My mom called me and was saying something about a plane crashing and kept going on and on about it. so i got up (more to stop her from talking forever on my answering machine, which was loud and next to the bedroom) and answered the phone. Then turned on the T.V.
I was at school I accidently walked into the wrong class for that day and thought they were watching a cheesy Sci-fi film. As I was wlking down the hall someone who was several ours late gave the reason that she was late as her mother being paranoid because of a terrorist attack. I still not aware that there was an actual attack thought the excuse was terribly lame and paranoid sounding. I didn't actually find out that ther had been an attack until I got home and the news was covering it.
I was in school, the teachers were kinda acting weird and didn't say anything, later on in an announcement (I live on Long Island NY by the way) the principal comes on the speakers and says "the WTC was attacked and destroyed today, you were the only ones not let out, because we feared for your safety" or something to that degree, making me realize that we were being let out 1 period AFTER the cafeteria was closed. Making me wonder if they just wanted to get the daily $$$ out of the people buying food.
I had NO clue this happened, no one told me crap untill many hours after it happened, it was pure madness, considering that the school is to the tallest building on the island it could have been a target.
Can you imagine being in school not knowing what's going on? That your country has been attacked at 45 minutes drive away?
