After just having seen the United 93 movie, I thought back to the day on which it happened. Religious or not, conspiracy-believer or not, American or not, I think we can all agree that 9/11 has made a major impact on pretty much everybody on this planet.
So my question is, where were you when it happened? Do you recall how you heard the news?
As for me, I remember it fairly well. It was a wednesday and I initially didn't get the news - my parents worked for most of the day and when they got home we had dinner and they drove me over to the swimming pool where me and some classmates used to go swim every week. Once I got my swimming trunks on and went into the pool one of my then-friends said "Hey did you see those planes go into the WTC?". He was kind of an action freak so I didn't think much of it, but when me and my family were watching the news later that evening it only became clear what the magnitude was of what had happened.
Edit: And please, I don't need to hear about whether you don't give a shit or how it's stupid that I'm asking people to remember 'a random day'. That discussion is exactly the one I was trying to avoid when I opened up my post with the "Religious or... this planet" sentence. "It didn't mean much to me" is ok, but if you're wanting to post stuff along the lines of "Who cares about where I was, I'm depressed and nobody cares about me/9-11 was a hoax/it's stupid to even think about it" then please just do not reply at all.
