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.

I was getting in some Ancient Croc farming before class when my roommate got a phone call and came unglued. Flipped on the TV and about 15 seconds later, the 2nd plane hit the tower.
I skipped class that day (college) and watched the news. ....While playing EQ. [You must be logged in to view images.

It affected me so profoundly I enlisted 'delayed-entry' in the Army, finished that semester and spent 10 years on Active duty, including multiple tours to the middle east as a combat medic. | ||
