My Parents woke me up after see'ing the first plane crash. I stood in the living room watching the news in my underwear and watched the second plane crash live. At that point, I knew it wasn't by accident. Ended up skipping school and heading over to my friends house to watch the news for 2 days straight.

I woulda been 19 years old.

I was on holiday in kreta( greece) . Went out for a walk with my mates and saw lotta people runnin towards bigscreen tvs some terrasses had. Then i was stunned for what i saw on the screen.

We had to fly back 2 days after( not to the usa tho), i kissed the ground when we arrived at our homeland lol. i never have fear of flying but this time it was a bit different.

I have a pre-storie to this also lol, but ill tell in short.

The day before 9/11, we went to visit a mountain in kreta where the god of war rests(some ruins where there) and we accidently made a huge fire with 1 siggaret that was trown away... firesquads etc all had to come the fire , it was really an amazing fire in a few seconds( high winds and very dry season, u had to be there )

So we fled that sceen and tought the police where after us lol( bit paranoia but hey we literally litted up a whole mountain and we didnt wanted to end up with sone greeks in a prison.... we didnt do it on purpuse tho. And no other people where near the place.( back of the mountain had a huge cliff so there was only 1 way down...( plus we checked the news for days after, but only 9/11 was on it ...

Well either way, school or work. I personally was in school. I was just saying its surprising to see all the people on at that time. I guess that explains why people are able to level up so quick.

Weird... was discussing this last night in psych class.

Sophomore year, Walked into 2nd period year and everyone was dead quiet watching the TV in class, first plane had already hit.

Was my freshmen year of high school, right at the beginning of the school year (duh, September). We were all still kind of nervous freshmen, but between classes people kept buzzing with news of what was going on. I remember my second period of the day was history and our teacher just told us to shut up and brought in a TV for us to watch.

After the bell rang for the next period we got mobbed in the halls by upperclassmen because our teacher was one of the only ones who let us watch the news the whole hour, so we had the most up-to-date info.

Sophomore Year of HS. In 'Computer' class. Hippie drugged out teacher said it was the work of Benjamin Netanyahu. No foolies.

Funny that one of my most vivid memories of probably the defining moment of my generation in my country is one loaded with somebody living out the ridiculous stereotype of American ignorance.

To be fair, I wouldn't look nearly as good as he did if I had done that much acid. But come on.

I was assleep and my roomate woke me up. We just sat there, watched and cried. I traveled a lot for my job back then and when the airports opened back everyone in the terminals and on the plane were somber but vigilent. It seemed like we were all on edge; ready to sacrifice ourselves to keep something like that from happening again.

I worked night shifts at the time.

My roommate came in my room and woke me up. He sat down on the side of the bed, lit us both a smoke, and told me the United States was under attack.

We both assumed it was World War III, so we just smoked for awhile and thought about how the world would end.

I miss that guy.
