What and where were you doing when September 11, 2001 happened,

>>31292177
I beat the shit out of and pissed on this one muslim classmate I had, but now we're gay lovers.

>>31292177
I was on the playground, digging holes in the dirt with a stick. My mom came to my school and took me home when she saw the news.

>>31292202
>but now we're gay lovers
How did that happen?

>>31292213
He was the first boy to see my penis so as we got older I felt it only fair I got to see his. Once his cock was out I pulled out mine too and we complimented how we had grown nicely.

Then we had lots of 69 sex and swallowed each others cum so it just came all together, pun intended.

I was in 5th grade I think, and they announced what had happened around 10 am, or so. My mom came and picked me and my brother up from school and we watched the event live, watching the second tower fall.

Being that young, I knew it was a really bad thing, but couldn't really comprehend just how much it would change American society.

I learned that the government will kill it's people just for an excuse to invade a country.

Also George Bush doesn't like black people.

The Government can watch me jack off to porn and track most of my expenses.

I listened to the whole thing on The Howard Stern Show.

I had the day off from work, no TV, no internet so I used to listen to Stern in the morning. When I turned it on they were talking about some kind of attack in NYC. I thought maybe they were replaying the episode from the '93 bombing or something, which seemed like a depressing show to re-run.

As I listened, I realized it was live.

It was years before I actually saw any video footage from that day.

I was driving a tractor planting wheat. I listened to AM radio as it was going down. I was also smoking weed. That was one crazy day.

>>31292177
I was at work like I am every fucking workday and saw it on the TVs there, thinking, welp, another fuken useless war coming right up, and Big Brother to keep an Eye on you. Wasn't wrong, was I?

>>31292177
I was out swimming. Mum picked me up and told me that murrikans were doing some retarded shit again. I was like "ok", and that was it.

>>31292177
I was in school at the time, maybe...5th or 6th grade? They "shut down" the whole school, meaning they stopped teaching through out the school. we stayed in our classrooms and, much to the disapproval of many parents when they found out, showed us live news coverage of what was going on via tv. Was kinda scary, but didn't really know what was going on at the time because lol little kid.

>>31292177
>woke up late

>then I see whats happening on the TV
>just stood there for 20 minutes or so staring.

It was the first time I remember ever being "shocked" by something I was seeing on tv. I felt pretty messed up, called some family, called work, prayed, gave blood.

>had to walk to work because traffic was 100% jammed in my city (not NY or DC).

>>31292177
I was in my second day of Pre-K. I live right next to the city, and was able to see Ground Zero from the playground after my grandma picked me up from the school's lockdown. I remember seeing the smoke and thinking someone was having a back-to-school BBQ or something. I couldn't understand why all the adults seemed so out of it that day.

Can't say it changed me, seeing as I didn't realize what had happened until a few years later. But my entire life has been post-9/11, living under the ever-growing role of government. I grew up during two wars, and I thought it was cool as fuck seeing footage on TV. Pissed off my lefty parents when I got really into guns and guilted them into signing enlistment papers when I was 17. If it weren't for 9/11 and it's aftermath, I might be another liberal, going to school to major in Gender Studies, dreaming of being a college professor so I could teach kids to check their privilege. I wonder if that would even be a thing, though. 9/11 led to more police militarization which gives rise to Black Lives Matter, as well as the perceived Islamophobia the SJWs love to whine about. Bush probably wouldn't have won in 2004, so we'd be on a very different track now.

So much to consider.

>>31293694
also,

I remember that for a brief moment, we were all Americans again.

on a plane heading for virginia, CQCed a few muslims and then parachuted out of the plane

>>31292177
I was in tenth grade history class. My teacher had a sick sense of humor, so we all thought he was joking around. Then he turned on a radio, and we all listened to the coverage. I remember every tv everywhere showing that crash for about a week.

>>31292177
Woke up, got ready for school, me ma said the US had been attacked.
Got to school, spent the whole day watching news reports on tv instead of doing lessons.

Can't say if it changed me, aside from feeling like the US govt did the real damage reacting afterward, first to the rights and privacy of its own people, and then by heading overseas and butchering arabs.

Not saying they didn't deserve it, but its made a far bigger mess in the long run, fucked up a lot of people, middle eastern and murican.

>Just getting ready for school when I was in 4th grade, hadn't left yet.
>dad tells mom to come watch the tv
>kids come watch it too
>see buildings smoking
>hear dad wonder if it was an accident

That's when we knew it wasn't an accident folks

Was working with my dad, I had run out for coffee and was listening to Howard Stern in the truck when it happened. When I got back we both sat there listening to Stern until lunch, we went to a tavern to watch the news. I remember how creepy it was that everyone was sitting there in stunned silence watching the footage. Next day I joined the cervix.

Brit here, I vaguely remember it as a kid being on the news. Was a bit young to remember anything other than it being reported on the TV. My gf's brother was a bit older and had the day off school, watched the whole thing live with his grandfather. The 7/7 attacks we had in London I remember a lot more clearly.

>>31293786

We probably blew up the USA Maine to invade Cuba.

That said, I don't think we blew up the twin towers.

>>31293426
Was he covering it straight or what?

I woke up late and turned on the TV and watched what was going on. Wife called and asked me if I was watching. Got to see one of the buildings collapse.

>>31293786
because wallowing in pity and remorse is what the terrorists want and I won't give them shit

I watched the second plane hit at 9:03 in the morning. I saw the people jumping out of the burning building. I saw the people running from the cloud of dust and broken glass. I saw the streets of New York covered with sand and bodies. I saw the people with pictures of their family members standing on theme street. I was 11.

God it was happening around this time in the morning.

>>31292177
Was in 6th grade. They didn't cancel school here, they basically never do for any reason. Watched it on the news right up until we missed the bus at our usual stop then we ran to the other stop we could catch it at. Whole school district was put on lockdown. Everyone stayed in our homerooms for the whole day, did nothing in class but watch the news all day.

It sparked the deep loathing for the middle east I have today. I'm damn happy our military rolled in and killed a fuckton of those backwards shitheads. The only Muslims I'm cool with are the moderates who realized their religion normally is actually one of violent barbarians and really want it to be about peace and NOT being a shitty human being.

It also made me hate a lot of conspiracy theorists later on as well.

>>31293805
its ok to have feelings, buddy.


>>31293830
thays a fair argument, but I think there's a difference between "wallowing in pity and remorse" and remembering what happened and how it changed or directed you. Rememberance is important for a lot of reasons, most of all so it doesnt happen again.

>>31293825
>was he covering it straight

probably, howard stren might be an ass, but hes not an asshole

>>31293825
Indeed. He (and everyone else) sounded completely confused.

The only real humor was them breaking someone's balls (maybe Gary?) for not coming in to work until they realized what was actually happened.

It was actually really good radio and a fairly solid bit of reporting, considering it's a show that was known for lesbians and retarded dwarfs.

7th grade study hall, teacher turned on the tv and we watched the second plane hit.

I was on a plane from Colorado to California. We landed in Las Vegas and I was lucky to get a rental car. Drove back home in something like 12 hours.

Was getting driven home from school in the afternoon (UKfag) and I remember the person driving the car (maybe my mother?) saying something along the lines of "Oh god, they can't have done that, there's gonna be some dark times ahead".

At the time I just wanted to get home and watch cartoons. Now? Hard to say really.

I also agree with this, but sadly find most Americans go for the wallowing than remembering.

I was in fourth grade.

I jumped on my desk and shouted "it's Pearl Harbor again! Let's go to war!"

Suspended for five days, but fuckin worth it

I was in 9th grade in keyboarding class..it was surreal..the teacher turned the tv on and we watched the whole thing. I vividly remeber wondering how they figured out bin Laden did it so fast and I also wondered how did the towers collapse from being hit by a plane. Even to my naive mind back then shit didnt add up,it wasnt until years later i would learn the truth

>there have been girls in gangbangs that are younger than 9/11
Man I feel old

I was totally not giving a fuck in Poland but I remember thinking "LOL, dose muslem fucked up, finally someone will glass the goat fuckers".

I was in elementary school. The school was located by the Gold Vault and Ft. Knox (back when it was a major tank base) and while the school was on lockdown, we got to look out the windows to see an entire armoured/ mechanized column travel to the Gold Vault to secure it.

Can't say 9/11 changed me at that time, but as I grew up I started to see how much it impacted our future.

>>31292177
I was on Okinawa. There was a massive typhoon at the time. I was watching the Today show that night when the news broke out, and watched the live feed as the second tower got hit.

Was at work, it was in the afternoon in my timezone. The rest of the day we spent together in front of the TV at the office. It was so surreal, yet there it was, happening live. It took 2 or 3 days to realize the whole extent of this day. But it became clear pretty fast that Georgie would have to go to war.

I was in 4th grade. Students were getting taken out of class one by one. I got pulled around 1030. I didn't understand the gravity of the situation until I reflected on it later in life.

>>31293821
yeah, it just collapsed and all of the explosions sounds were just hallucinations and the squibs were just dust squirting out and the nano thermite and explosives compound found everywhere was from something else and the MOLTEN STEEL in the basement was from jet fuel

cmon friend, go back and research it again, you missed a few things

Also there sure was a lot of babbys here when this happened...

Might've lost my dad then, he was on his way to the world trade center for a job interview for Minolta, thankfully got stuck in traffic at the start of the lincoln tunnel, he had a front row seat to the destruction across the Hudson though.

The only thing that would have taught a kid is that drawing is bad

I stole an internet hub from a basement with a friend and we took a jaunt downtown to fence it at an old pedophile looking guys used electronics shop. Once we sold it we bought lemonade at a local store and an old lady ran in and said America is burning. Local mall was called Amerika so we went over to see if maybe we can lift something amidst all the confusion but it was all chill so we figured the broad was fucking retarded.

Got home just in time to see the second tower falling, I'm a slav btw

Driving to high school with sister. We were late for school. Heard on the radio there was a terrorist attack. Watched it on tv all day at school while the teachers just yelled "we're going to war" Was pretty surreal to see everyone acting different.

>>31294928
It kinda did for me honestly, also taught me that my grade school was run by morons.

I woke up earlier than usual and my mom was watching the news. I saw both towers collapse live, then went to school. I was in eighth grade. I don't think it affected me much. I remember thinking it was kind of exciting.

my brother is as fucking left as you can get he

It's a damn shame really, I wasn't old enough to appreciate the gravity of the situation, nor to remember the world before it.
I grew up with my nation at war. And now here I am chilling inna barracks.

I was in middle school shop class, everyone stopped what they were doing when the news hit the radio, I don't remember too much but after the class I think school resumed as normal.
Then every day afterward we did the pledge of allegiance which I hadn't done since elementary school, it then stopped again in high school.

>>31295082
Maybe dentonations in the plan of building collapse. Like if the building would fall into other buildings we would detonate to minimize city wide damage

>>31295176
Yes, I know that. But who could set up precision explosives to bring buildings like that down? So that means the explosives were already there before the planes hit.

>>31295200
Maybe so, even building 7? It's like the govt knew about those failsafes? If you believe it was just a bunch of muslims who pulled off one of the greatest lies ever told, you need to rethink your life.

Guy came running out of the office
>HEY GUYS CHECK THIS. SOME MORON FLEW A PLANE INTO THE WTC

later I was talking to a customer, when the boss come out

>Guys, a second plane hit the WTC,0. I'm ginna close the shop for today, go home to your families

I remember the extreme goose bumps I got when he said that. At this moment none of us knew what was really happening but deep inside we felt that it was ine of those world stopping moments like the JFK shooting.

I dropped the college plans, joined the Muhreens became 0317, saw Afghanistan, heard the GIs blasting rock all night before Phantom Fury. Left the Corps in 2010 and work as an instructor for long range shooting.

You are not thinking clearly. Firefighters heard and saw explosions. I believe there was radio confirmation the buildings were being pulled... do some research. Or talk to NYFD or NYPD. They probably signed a gag order too. Or have extreme health problems now,bor are dead.

Man the 90's... it's only in retrospect do we realize how good we had it back then. Even with Iraq 1 and the shit in the Balkans the world was just an overall more 'calm' and peaceful place.

I'm thinking VERY clearly. Metal gets fucked by intense heat, badly enough that you might as well be relying on slightly stiffer play dough. Not only that, a fucking plane slammed into the building. That's not exactly something you can just ignore. The impacts and fires were also high enough the wind is unhindered. Do you have any idea what happens when a fire is well supplied with O2?

>but fire shot out like a bomb!!!1!!!
Do me a favor. Clap your hands in front of your face. You notice something? The air is displaced and you feel a breeze as a result. Now go drop a flat board on a very dusty surface. Results look a little familiar fucknut? The fire is pushed out with the air as the collapse happens.

Literally just watched the collapse videos for the twin towers. Only a fucking retard would think that was a demo job. Seriously, pull your head out of your ass. Do you dumb fucks really think someone waltzed into that inferno and had time to rig anything even possibly resembling a demo job? Do you really think explosives would have survived the heat period?

>>31295335
Let me guess, you also think you have to melt steel to make it structurally worthless.

I was in kindergarten I remember school going normal that morning until the first plane hit I don't think I went home early but my parents were acting weird. My dad explained to me what happened when I was older and from then on I was set to enlist.

>>31295416
Thank you for you well thought out intellectual moment. Unfortunately, I can still believe what I'm pretty sure is true. The world is not how most people really percieve it, jack. Their is an evil element that stays hidden, but has others do its work for them. I know the basic composition of the materials used to construct buildings and aeronautical vehicles. But I digress.

I remember waking up one morning trying to watch the new adventures of winnie the pooh on Family. We had just moved from D.C. to Canada but my dad was still at our old home, working until his contract was over for a company that was contracted by the Pentagon. I think he actually worked in the pentagon, because my mom was freaking out when we learned a plane had hit there. Anyways, I turn on the tv, channel surf until I saw CNN talking about a plane hitting some building, My mother took the remote from me and told me to go watch tv in the basement. I remember my mom calling everyone about what was happening an my aunt coming over to console my mother who was freaking out a bit. Then, that evening, we got a call from my dad who wasn't at his office for some reason( forgot why) and my mother was relieved.

I was a 5 year old eastern european kid who

>>31295556
Ok maybe not insecure but certainly acting incredibly immature for some who's flaunting how much older and more experienced they are then the rest of us.

I was 7. Dad was in the navy, stationed in Rota Naval base over in spain.
I was just coming home from school, mom was freaking out and showed me the TV, all I thought was "oh cool...explosions..."

>thats when we knew it wasnt an accident
I remember that feel so well...

I recall being very pro-war and pro- government after the attack. Then again i was a shithead kid with no real knowledge of how the world works.

I remember as I was watching the WTC turn into a mass grave, I could not stop thinking of this vidya soundtrack in the back of my mind.

Thought it was pretty rad.

>>31295082
because a supermassive structure like a skyscraper doesn't just fall over like a tree, let alone in one piece. You are applying your normal scale understanding of structural design to something on a far larger scale with a wide array of different materials being used throughout.

The tower will absorb the shock of the impact since the plane will just dig itself in between two or three floors. That energy however will find its way all the way down to foundation, the place where the entire weight above is resting. It's under enormous forces and if it is compromised in any way it will let the top come down on into it.

Take into account just how much fuel an airliner can store in its wings, and you have a recipe for disaster.

I'm not a robot

I had just got home from work at CLE and was about to crash.

My buddy at the airport called me and told me to turn on the TV.

I watched for about ten min. Until the second plane hit. Then I woke up my mom and told her.
About that time my dad called.

They both work at hospitals in Cleveland. And they were starting to call people to come back in.

>(Remember flight 93 made it as far as Ohio before it turned around.)

I would quit my airport job shortly after that so it didn't affect me much.
But most of the people I worked with got laid off or fired.

>>31295659
also i didn't really elaborate on where i was when 9/11 happened. i got up about 5 in the morning west coast, started checking out a forum i used to go to and then saw someone post about it. turned on the news to see the first tower burning. went to school and then i think we were told about the second plane hitting over the announcement speaker. that's all anyone was talking about at school that day and it's when i decided once i graduated highschool in 2 years that i'd join the army because that shit pissed me off and i wanted to kill the fuckers. EVERYONE wanted revenge back then, and the country actually was united....for a time. then all that united america feeling started wavering once we invaded iraq. but honestly even as an infantry guy that did that shit, i know invading iraq was a mistake. we should have just stuck with afghanistan.

He thinks there was no plane and it's all tricky tricksters trying to trick us with their tricky ways.

I was in 4th grade? 5th grade? In Brooklyn and I was on like the 4th floor and my classroom was facing Manhattan.

Some kid just yelled "a plane just flew into the building" and we all rushed to the windows and I just see one tower smoking and my teacher was covering her mouth and crying and then the second one got hit

I wasn't even thinking about like what is happening there and that a shitload of people were dead at the moment I was just watching it happen

School ended early went home and none of the channels on TV worked cause I think the towers was where they broadcasted locally

I'm 20. At the time, I was in kindergarten. I woke up early and my dad was watching the news and saying something about how Muslims are scum. I thought he was talking about cloth because I knew my mom bought a muslin tablecloth a week earlier. Mom was a bit nervous but was more concerned with getting me to school on time and making sure I had a sandwich I liked in my lunch box. At kindergarten, we did a normal day with silent reading time and an art project and all that. At lunch time, I realized my mom gave me a mini Kit Kat. At the end of the day, one kid's mom brought cupcakes for his birthday and we got to spend the last hour of the day playing and eating cupcakes. It was a pretty good day for me, honestly. I probably wouldn't remember any of it if it wasn't such a great day for 5 year old me.

My mom was pissed.

She never talked about her past, but I found out later she'd had an office in the World Trade Center in the 80s, and I'm pretty sure her entire law firm was wiped out.

In what fucking world did the towers fall perfectly? I mean, I guess they followed gravity, if that's what you mean. Debris was absolutely everywhere, other surrounding buildings had to be pulled down on account of damage and dozens of people not actually in the WTC died.

That was easily the worst birthday my father ever had. He was acting weird while driving me to school, asking if I understood what it meant that a plane had crashed into a building in New York. I was 11, understood on an intellectual level that it meant a bunch of people were dead, and didn't really give a shit because I knew even then that tons of people die every day. It struck me later that it was significant because of the violence and coordinated nature of the attack, but at the time it was just "yep, the worms are well fed on this particular Tuesday." Got a half day at school. One of the other kids' parents was spouting some horse shit about how more people had died today than in the entire Vietnam war, and I got in trouble for saying he was lying. I was mad after I got home that it was news on every channel because I wanted to watch the Simpsons.

8th grade math class. Our teacher started the class by saying a plane hit a building in New York, and was nervously joking that he was worried about his wife, who was a flight attendant in NYC at the time. When he turned on the tv and saw the tower burning, he bolted out of the room to try and call his wife. And we just sat there and watched the second plane hit live, and the eventual collapse.

Pretty fucking surreal, I guess I was too young to really know if it changed me as a person, but it sure opened my eyes to the fucking terrible things people were capable of doing to each other.

It was a very odd day for me. I only remember flashes, but very vivid flashes.

My father had just retired after 26 years in the Air Force the year before, and we moved down to Florida. I was in the 2nd grade, just getting really acclimated to my first year down here and all.

It was a perfectly normal day until about 1/3rd through the day, at which point a memory most of us have happened - kids started getting called out. That usually happened at most once a week, and it happened like five times within an hour. At first it was jealous, like "Hey, I wanna go home too!" but we quickly realized something was up.

Honestly, probably a bad way to deal with it. Kids are naive, they're fresh, but they aren't stupid, really. After a little bit, they called us to our scheduled choir room, which was usually a happy occurrence, and sat the remainder of the class in rows, criss-cross-applesauce in silence. They didn't tell us anything the whole day. Waited till the normal end. I honestly can't remember how I got home, so I have to assume it was the bus.

That was a chaotic time, clearly. My Mom was freaking out a bit, but trying to keep calm for me. It was gray and about to rain out, and we had the dining room light on looking for telephone numbers and the like, and we never had that light on.

We had a particularly unfortunate set of acquaintances that day, at least for the initial reaction. We'd just moved out of a house on Bolling where we could see the Pentagon and the Mall and all, and knew tons of people working there. We knew people in the Trade Center, or had used to work there. And my Uncle and Aunt were frequent fliers, my Aunt being an attendant with both scheduled on a United plane going east that day.

Luckily, and I mean REALLY luckily, everyone came out fine. Different flight, sick day, all that. Crazy. I just still remember it all being surreal, like I understood & didn't. Whole day felt like that ringing daze when you fall and hit your head too hard, a dream.

This for me except they kept me away from tv.

I remember the initial invasion of iraq, or at least parts of it from the occasional tv glance, I remember when we found saddam, I remember south park doing something funny

I honestly think the invasion of Iraq started my love for south park

I was in 4th grade, came downstairs to get ready for school and my parents were watching the TV intently. I had no idea what the Twin Towers were and when I heard "terrorist attack" I assumed it was something going on in the Middle East.

Went to school that day and didn't really get what was going on, because I lived in Arizona, and New York was just some far-off place I've never seen before. I was annoyed by how we had to stand and hear the entire "Proud to be an American" song by Lee Greenwood every single fucking day for a month afterwards after the National Anthem played.

Didn't know anyone who was killed in the attacks, didn't know anyone who knew anyone who was killed. Basically completely unaffected by it, except one time I was treated like a criminal when I left a GameBoy in my pocket when I walked through the security terminal in the airport a year later.

i grew up in a house that didnt watch alot of tv. growing up i would watch the simpsons every night and that was it.

There was only 3 times when i was young that i remember being glued to the television every minute for a few days:
9/11, Invasion of Afghanistan, and the Invasion of Iraq

Perhaps you should get a brain before you spew shit on the internet, retard.
Ever melted cans in a campfire? Then why can't you melt cans with a match if the fuel is the same?
I'm chemist, I know what "adiabatic" means better than you ever will. Perhaps you should use a bit of logic to realize that the bigger the fire, the closer to the adiabatic temperature it gets.

High school, home economics class. Only thing I remember about that class, really. Makes me feel old to realize how long ago it was now. Being a hormonal teen at the time from when "terrorism" wasn't a daily conversation piece, my thoughts about it all were very melodramatic. The radio was on when I walked into the room, and everyone was dead silent, just listening to the reports coming in. That was all we did for the whole period. In my next class, chemistry, a television was wheeled in, and I got to see what was happening when the towers fell.

It felt surreal. Like watching a disaster movie, but with the knowledge that it was actually happening. School was let out early, I went hope, and it just felt even stranger when I stood outside. Air traffic across the US had been completely shut down. No contrails. No sounds of distant jet engines. I could hear birds hundreds of feet above my head as they circled. It was a beautiful day, sky clearer than any I have ever seen before or since.

I knew we were going to war almost immediately. I didn't know with who, when, or where, but I knew my country was going to be out for blood. I didn't know how badly it would escalate, and that frightened me more than anything else.

I suppose if that day changed me, it made me realize that the world was more complicated, fragile, and dangerous than I had believed before.

All in all, a rather sad way for the America of the 90's to die.

High school. 10th grade.

I remember not actually getting any details on it until about 11:30AM EDT because my Spanish and Biology teachers were oblivious to what was happening and didn't bother to turn on the radio/tv.

It didn't affect me as much as it did the rest of the country. Basically turned the country into bloodthirsty motherfuckers who were willing to steamroll any other country who sanctioned the attack or harbored the culprits. It wasn't long after that we found out the culprits were in Afghanistan. And so we went to war, etc.
Fun fact: Before September 2001, muslims were never nearly as hated as they are now. The difference is like night and day.

I was in kindergarten at a small Catholic school. Since it was split into AM and PM class I saw the whole thing on television that morning. My aunt called and said that the twin towers had been hit by a plane. Strangely, even as a 6 year old I had an acute sense that it was all intentional. Can't say it changed me too much. Living in the post 9/11 world is what has shaped my life the most. Led to a general distrust for the ZOG.

>inb4 go back to /pol/

No matter who took those towers down, only Israel benefitted from what has been happening the last 15 years.

...the images of those poor people jumping to their deaths from the ~100th floor is still burned into my head desu.

>>31298831
Dude. I had been dozens of pre 9/11 flights, and they were night and day different compared to today.

I also remember flying in October 2001 and the airports were fucking empty, super empty. I've been on Boeing 777 and larger where the crew outnumbered the passengers

>>31294244

This. So much this.

Immediately following the attacks, it was like my country had collectively lost its goddamn mind, and naturally the government took advantage of this to tighten their grip on everything.

"Never forget" got old very fast. It pissed me off so much how everyone, every piece of media, just would not SHUT THE FUCK UP about 9/11 for one goddamn day. I got it. Something bad happened. It was serious business. But it was like everyone was *fetishizing* this attack, and it made me sick.

The cool confidence of 90's America was broken beyond repair.

>>31292177
I woke up in the morning. I lived with my grandparents. My grandma put first plane coverage on the TV. I got the impression she thought it was more than an air disaster, like most people thought it was a fucked plane crash but she was like watch this some shit is going down. I didn't really get it but I guess the tone of the newscasters voice got me a little amped.

When I got to school the teacher wasn't in the room and everybody was just sleepy and coloring. Telling this really leads me to believe it was a misconception that most people thought it was a plane crash because why wasn't the teacher there and why did my grandma think it was important. Anyway, the lack of teacher led me to believe there was definitely some shit going down. I think "where were you when kennedy got shot" influenced me so I turned on the TV. I kinda figured it was important that we watch whatever the fuck the adults were trippin about. When the second plane hit I just knew we were fucked. My classmates didn't get it and weren't even paying attention. I'm like "yo this is live fucking TV look at this fucking explosion dont you get it". No they didn't get it. Nobody cared. After a minute the teacher came in trippin and most people left. We had a muslim chick in my class and she was cool and nobody really gave a fuck. I just didn't like her because she used to always fuck with my OCD and one time she exploded a pen on me and I jokingly over-reacted and it got serious and we became enemies.

So what it taught me: One, everybody is fuckin stupid. I learned my classmates were stupid and I learned a lot from the countries reaction. I started watching the news and learned the news was fucking retarded. I watched the fuck out of the Iraq war coverage as a kid. It started opening my mind up to how fucked in the head the whole world is. Kinda showed reality. 9/11 conspiracies taught me the media was full of shit but also how retarded people are.
Cont.

>>31292177
I was in my high school bathroom jerking off, I had the room pretty much to myself until a sudden large group came in crying and started calling people on their cell phones.
The crying and the clicking on their Nokia 3310s made me cum harder.

>>31299938
It gave me a sense of how media and pro government people are stupid, how anti gov conspiracy tards can be stupid, the spectrum you know, the differing shades of patriotism, the gray areas of morality, got me interested in war, helped my critical thinking.

Also not trying to sound like "i am very smart" or anything. It also didn't really personally affect me but I'm just saying where I was and how the cultural influence affected me. I just always remember how my school was an accelerated school and they just didn't really get it. Also, there was 5 "extra accelerated" kids in my class that were my only friends but I wasn't in their special classes. A super autistic smart cringey kid, a typical just smart rich white kid he was chill, a really sexy just not lazy so she kids good grades girl, and a mad-lad rich kid. I wasn't in the special classes but I had superior cognition in a way. The reason this is relevant is that muslim chick was the only one in the school on my level of intelligence/autism. The "accelerated" kids included, they were just fuckboys.

9/11 also gave me a lot of paranoia. The city I lived in would've definitely been a target in war. That paranoia turned into a logical distrust of certain things but I reigned it in into a reasonable level of preparedness. I like to think 9/11 gave me a head-start on critical thinking, patriotism, and survivalism/preparedness.

Kinda random shit but thats my experience I wanted to post it before I read the thread.

>>31300026
Oh also I was kinda saying it didn't make me hate muslims but didn't stop me from being racist. Living in the ghetto made me hate niggers for a long time. I hold some prejudice but I try to judge everyone individually. One of my good friends is an americanized muslim, but lately I have been kinda distrusting muslims. It just seems more of the normal ones hold some bullshit extremist beliefs and even hate america/whitey but are just chill and dont act out, and that aint good.

I have no idea why, but I remember hearing them talking about how somebody had flown some planes into buildings

I didn't think at all about it, nor did I ask any questions, but I still remember that one thing

History class, in college. A shittier piece of shit version of me would turn that into some kind of nauseating allegory as part of a speech or something.

Now I make 9/11 jokes and talk to people about how Islam will force a global religion war at some point, or self-immolate. Either way, I think the planet will either succumb to or expel Islam as incompatible with humanity's survival and evolution.

Was walking down the forest with my Legion when a bunch of shitskin rhine-niggers jumped out of the woods and started killing people.

I was home sick from school. I remember something big happened, but I didn't know what until a year or two later (I was 4 on 9/11) and I didn't really understand the depth and meaning of what had actually happened until I was about 10 or so.

I remember my parents talking on the phone (we didn't have cell phones since money was really tight) my mom was in the kitchen talking to my father who was at work. I guess he heard about it and told my mom, she came rushing in to the living room where I was playing and turned on the tv, channel 3 in my area was news. So as soon as the tv turned on and sound started coming through I remember hearing the reporter freaking out (I think it was Shepard) and then the picture came on the tv and I saw a bunch of gray (smoke now that I know what it was) and my mom told me to go to my room (I guess people started falling out at that point)

honestly i didnt really fully understand what was happening until later in the day. i live about half an hour from somerset pennsylvania, so it literally hit close to home but i never really knew.

I was in 4th grade and our teacher (along with every other teacher) was called to the office. about 10 minutes later she came back in and was perfectly calm. almost robotic. no tears or panic in her voice at all and very dead pan said to us "ok everyone, your parents are going to be here to pick you all up, I can't tell you what has happened but just all of you remain calm and line up in the hallway until you are safe to be dismissed, and veronica (girl in my class) i need you to come with me" it was at that point the teacher started tearing up. as it turns out that girls father was on one of the planes that crashed in the field.

but when my mom and dad picked me up they were nearly silent, my mom had a look on her face like someone shot her dog through her best friend and my dad had this stone face and 1000 yard stare through the windshield, i asked them what was going on but they told me theyd explain at home. when we got home they had the news on and it was still playing the footage and doing coverage of what happened. it starting to sink in what i was seeing, americans dead. people dead. by some people from a country i never heard of. I knew it was serious, i started to panic and asked 1000 questions about who the bad guys were if people were going to be okay if this was an accident or war or what. That was the first time i remember my dad ever hugging me

>7 years old when it happened
>Didn't find out until I was 10 when I finally asked why we had a moment of silence after the pledge of allegiance everyday
Didn't change anything.

I was 7. Don't remember shit. I'm in the military now, byte that's not really directly related to 9/11, just was the best thing for me

>>31293830
It's ok to have feelings about the event, anon. AQ and ISIS don't care if we feel grief and pity. They want us to feel dispair, anxiety, and fear.

They have no idea how badly they fucked up.

We'll feel our grief in full measure. And we'll argue amongst ourselves. Pass a bunch of useless laws. Stupid people will make long, flowery, stupid speeches about how it's all our fault. And our enemies will rejoice, thinking that what they're seeing is meaningful.

It's not, it's just the packaging that comes wrapped around how we handle our business.

While idiots are making idiot speeches, other individuals are loading onto C-130s and C-141s and Pave Hawks and Pave Lows. For them, the talking is over. It's time to act. That is where the true manifestation of our national gestalt lies.

It takes a while for us to spool up to speed. We're still winding up. We don't do extinction as revenge, it's not our style. So, Islam will still exist when we finish. It will be a different Islam, though. It'll be the Islam that we tell it to be.

Last time somebody pulled this shit, we invented nuclear warfare and rewrote their system of government. This time? Anybody's guess.

>about 6am, eating breakfast before heading off to highschool. Hear about the towers being impacted by jetliners. I was thinking that either someone seriously fucked up or went postal. Later on during classes, they called for a fire drill. While sitting outside for rollcall, I noticed that there were no airplanes at all. Then coming home, there was pretty much nonstop coverage of the attack and showing the same scenes of the towers getting hit and then collapsing on a constant loop. The scenes are permanently imprinted in my mind.

I was 16 when it happened, and was in my high school English class when the news broke. We all had the big old tube televisions in the upper corner of the class room and they turned them on to the news so we could witness the carnage on live tv. I was pretty amazed by the whole thing and glad I lived in a small Texas town that wouldn't be of interest during terror attacks or war. Eventually they turned off all the tv's and we went on with schooling as usual... not learning anything useful. I remember going to football practice later that day and complaining that we were all running around in pads while the nation was under attack.

9/11 is what kept me out of the military. I had been planning on joining since I was very young and would practice shooting my bb and pellet gun all the time fantasizing about basic training. When I was a kid it was the soviet union we would likely fight and I always envisioned great ww2 style battles fought in a somewhat traditional method. But a year or two after the Afghan and Iraq invasions I started to hear first hand from men a few years older than me what the fighting environment was really like. Guys I had grown up near as neighbors and knew my whole life were coming back with missing arms, and multiple gunshot wounds... One of the greatest guys I looked up to was killed in action flying helicopters in Afghanistan. It didn't sound like the kind of war I had envisioned at all, no clear front line or even enemy soldiers...

And then I started to learn about all of the odd things about 9/11 like how the WTC7 building collapsed even though no plane or major fires crippled the steel frame. It appeared to have been taken down into it's own footprint by a controlled demolition. That and many inconsistencies about 9/11 left me seriously questioning the leadership of the nation, I did trust Bush nor Cheney anymore. Iraq had nothing to do with the attack, and it was mostly Saudis on the planes etcetera.

9/11 made question things...

>AQ and ISIS don't care if we feel grief and pity. They want us to feel dispair, anxiety, and fear.
Replace that with "Neo-Cons" and you have my attitude circa 2001 to 2012.

If there's one thing that's changed for me because of 9/11, it's a seething hatred for liars and fear mongers.

My family literally did not give a fuck.
They all just brushed it off like something that happens everyday. Told me about a bunch of stuff that's been going on all over the world and that people die everyday through conflict/war/terrorist attacks, not just us.
My grandfather and father both thought that it proved that the US was pussified since congress didn't immediately declare war on the Middle East/Al Qaeda.
The whole "War on Terror" bullshit was, to quote my grandfather, a "Half assed pussy attempt to make it look like we're doing something." "Either you do it or you don't." Stuff like that.
I had just entered 6th grade at the time.

I was happy that he was stopped, and couldn't anyone anymore. But also kind of mad. I wanted him to be brought on trial. I wanted to see his actions accounted for, instead of killed in a desperate shoot out.

I also hated what we did with his body, even if the logic was somewhat sensible. Dumping his body in the ocean like a mob disposing of a body.

It also lead to a really sad realization. There wouldn't be half as big of a celebration over Iraq and Afghanistan proving themselves as sane and stable republics.
Which was a much harder and far more worthy goal as far as I was concerned.

I was in 1st grade, and honestly don't remember much from that day. I remember school got done early, people were talking about an attack but I didn't appreciate the scale of what had gone down. My parents were both really tense (they both worked in Chicago, and my dad was extra spooked since he worked in the Aon Tower in one of the upper floors) and tried to get home ASAP. Don't remember much after that, just lots of American flags and songs on TV and the Radio. I remember the aftermath a little better, though it did make me pretty cynical about the world and how shit plays out over time. I will say though, every time I go back and watch footage of the attacks the feelings of horror and disbelief have never quite gone away. As to the conspiracy theories, I'm not a huge fan of them but I do think that some shady shit was probably going down that day.

My 11-year old self was asleep, waiting to be woken up by my mother so I can eat the breakfast and go to school. As soon as she turned on the television it already had happened minutes ago, and there were news about it.

>>31292177
I was asleep. West coast

I was in 6th grade at the time. All I really remember is getting ready to take a shower in the morning and seeing my brother and mom glued to the tv talking about it. Teachers at school talked about it, but I dont remember much else. I didnt really understand the magnitude of it at the time, but when I saw the first images of the airstrikes in Iraq a few years later it finally hit me of what happened and where it took us.

Was late to school 1st grade or kindergarten (I was 5). saw people jump out of buildings and the second plane hit. Mom and dad started freaking out about what's going to happen because of this. Didn't make it to school that day. After that I was terrified of planes. I would start freaking out and panicking if a jet flew over. they did alot after that since we lived in the direct path for the b2 bombers to fly over on their way to kill muzzies. I would have nightmares of jet liners falling out of the sky and killing me. I'm pretty sure I had mild ptsd from it and planes would set me off. I'm fine now though, they don't bother me anymore and live wwii planes

My friend from school I played little league with was in NYC for a vacation when it happened and saw them fall. I can't imagine what he went through seeing that shit. If I remember correctly I think they were on their way to go visit when they were attacked.

> All those fucking kids round here who's age on 9/11 was single-digit
>All those oldfags who were just old enough to join the US military in a burst of patriotism and anger

Those aren't lefty opinions, those are just crazy opinions.
inb4 >implying

I think it was about six or seven Pacific Time, wasn't it? Everyone in the house would've been getting ready for school. I think I heard my dad say 'holy shit', and then we watched it happen on a 6x6inch TV in the parents' room.

Seeing it honestly took a lotta piss and vinegar out of me. I mean, obviously most of my failings are down to me, but still, it definitely had an impact. I think the next week I just froze on the playground and began screaming that I didn't want to die.
Makes sense that I stopped dreaming of joining the military around then. It's probably for the better, though. They don't need a fuck-up who can't finish anything he starts, anyway.

I was 9.
I had a pretty shit day at school, and when my neighbor picked me and his daughter up at school I was mainly thinking about my day, leaning against the car's window, but I remember that the radio was talking about a plane hitting a building in New York.
I didn't think much of it, but by the time I got home I was pretty excited to tell my parents about it and see the images.
When I got in the living room everybody was already in front of the TV, standing. I remember that everybody was standing, even my grand-parents, which made me go serious all the sudden.
I remember my mom switching channels and the image staying the same, because they all had the same feed.
I remember telling my grand-mother about a helicopter thinking it was a second plane, and a few seconds later the second plane actually crashed into the tower, shutting me up mid-sentence.
We then watched the collapse, and spent the rest of the day glued to the TV.

Speaking as a filthy liberal, the "doesn't like guns" is pretty typically lefty. The "Blood for Oil" narrative too.

In high school band class, practicing Stars and Stripes Forever for the handegg game that Saturday. Some aide walks in saying something about a plane crash in NYC. I figured it was nothing. A WW2 era bomber hit the Empire State Building a while back and not much happened.

A few days later I'm playing the same song at the elementary school assembly hall and everyone's chanting USA! USA! USA! Afterwards I tell the guy next to me, "something about this doesn't seem right."

The Bush Administration didn't engineer it. They were just silently complicit, since they knew there was money in toppling Saddam.

Thanks, anon.

It'll be interesting to see if it sounds like I remember it.

I was stayibg at my gf's parents place that day. 2nd year after grad from Uni. Stupid bitch was a total Yank lover (Ausfagland here). She reckons we're all getting drafted for WW3.

Fuck lol no bitch. Ain't that serious. Of cause, Johnny Howard, our gun grabbing faggot PM sent our army to fallate members of yours.

But not me. WW3 did not come that day. And rightfully so.

Was in 9th grade biology, the teacher was not a worldly fellow, and did not know what was going on or how to react, and so he didn't, he didn't mention it at all. The principal came on the intercom and said there was an attack but that school would continue as normal. None of the other kids knew what was going on.

But I did, because ever since I was a small child I had been playing realistic war games set in the ME. I think there was even a mission in Jane's USAF where an airliner got hijacked.

I went home that day and virtually killed some mudslimes in simulated missions that had yet not taken place in real life, but would in due time

I was in first or second grade I think at the time.

I remember waking up early that morning to eat cereal and watch cartoons without my parents knowing before school but my parents were already up. They said something about an attack in New York at the time. I was freaking out and probably crying because my Aunt, Uncle and Cousins lived on Long Island at the time and my knowledge of New York was basically NYC and their house, which I had been to once the year before and when we went to the city we took the LIRR and subways.

They were all okay but I remember going to school that day and my teacher who was a super liberal but was also super patriotic about the US was even more so the next few weeks. I think he did K and first grade and first and second so I know I had him at least two years.

Oddly enough I remember being driven to school that day and like usual my Dad would tune in to KISW and we would listen to Howard. But unlike he usually said "don't tell mom I let you listen to Howard Stern" he didn't even say much.

>>31292177
I was at school, we had an assembly where the principal told us some planes crashed into the world trade center. They sent us home and i remember my mother watching the news on T.V

What I don't get is like

If you're a shadowy conspiracy looking to get America into a war, what good is WTC-7?

>well look, if we only take out the two towers, that only gets them 95% angry enough to go to war
>well what if we blew up this smaller building nearby and just said it was also from the plane, that should get us past the 100% mark
>you're a genius, Phil, you get the thermite, I'll call our guy at CNN

I saw it first on the news, then heard about it at a school meeting we thing had in the morning. I didn't understand why it was so important, beyond the death toll involved.

Some time after I became a conspiracy nut. My parents were super anti-Bush, so the idea of evil in the world that didn't originate from him was eminently dismissable.

After watching dozens of debunks, de-debunks, and de-de-debunks, I realized that conspiracy theorists grasped for some pretty desperate straws.

Yes, the glorious 80s. Was in Grade 1 in 1985. War was war, and it happened. Cartoons actually had bad guys. And that pink/cream crayon was called "skin colour".

Society is shit, fake and gay now. Though I can't say that outside of here.

>>31292177
I was living in Bosnia at the time, i was 9.
Saw the news, saw the towers fall, the planes, New York and switched the channel to find Tom and Jerry.
It wasnt a big deal for me at all. The serb side of the family smirked and were smug about it because of the 1999 bombing of Yugoslavia and shit, but seeing how a 'revenge' doesnt actually do anything people went on like nothing happened.

>>31315486
Sounds like the people there had their heads screwed on right. Subtle smirk, and get on with it - I dig.

i came home from high school
turned on the telly as usual, see some weird footage of the towers burning, thought it must be some "what if documentary"
then they collapsed and i realized it was real

We made jokes about the only Muslim kid in our class was a terrorist and rhetoric rednecks took it seriously and beat him up. I thought it was a funny.

Then they had this faggy tolerance assembly.
