Was in my 10th grade English class. All the classrooms had TVs, so someone came into our class and said turn on the news. My teacher had family in New York (her sister is married to Ja Rule, seriously) so she ran out of the room trying to get in contact with her sister. While she was gone, my buddies and I were trading and battling pokemon. Didn't really pay much attention to what was happening on the news.

I was worried when it happened since I live in New Jersey. Mostly because my brother was going to college in Newark. That's where the the hijacked planes took off. So I didn't even know what would happen.

It was all pretty confusing, and I didn't get to leave school early. We just spent the whole day watching TV. I was in the 5th grade at the time.

Also for a few days as I went to school on the bus we could all see giant smoke clouds off in the distance (since nyc is less than 2 hours away from me with no traffic).

I had just started to work at a lumbermill and we had a short moment of silence. After that I didn't follow it too much, had a ton of other stuff in my life to take care of.

> The rest of the world may have a history of getting their shit fucked locally but nobody here knew what it was like.

Hence why I wrote the US foreign policies being fucked up beyond belief. It was bound to happen sooner or late due to the country's involvement around the world. Why some republican politicians think otherwise is just mindblowing.

Now, I don't support the attack and I sure as fuck wasn't happy hearing about it. It's a tragedy in every right and regard.

i was in social studies class. the seniors were taking their SATs. i remember them letting everyone off of school early that day. Gas stations were packed to the brim and grocery stores went barren.

Since i lived in a KKK state at the time and people of color were attacked on a regular basis i started laughing on my way out of the class say "i bet this was done by some country the "great old USA fucked over years ago and they are no getting revenge". I got suspended (i didnt give a fuck)

Sometimes Americans deserve to die to be reminded were they stand in the grand scheme of things.

Was in school. We got sent home for the rest of the day. My mom worked across the highway from the Pentagon and was stuck in VA because public transport wasn't running. She got home at like 9 pm that night.

Probably eating my lunch, then lessons, then fuck back home. As I came home my sister was watching TV in the kitchen. She told me that two planes has flown into the World Trade Center. I'm like, okay? What is the World Trade Center? Then I played Super Mario 64 or GoldenEye 007.
