11 year anniversary of 9/11

[micknick]

Time flies eh.

Like a generation before me who asked the question where were you when Kennedy was shot to where were you on 9/11?

Sat in Tech Studies class and the teacher wheeled in a TV and we all sat and watched as it unfolded. I was 16. No one left school on time that day, we were all glued to the screen in growing horror.

Never forget. RIP.

I was in work when a newsflash came on about the first plane. " Terrible accident ", or so it seemed. Till the next newsflash came on...

I was in a factory in North Wales, as a result of 9/11 I didn't have that job for much longer as it was making aircraft parts.

R.I.P. the Victims of 9/11.

I was driving back from my university and mark and lard were on radio 1. They were just playing music and saying every now and then that there had been a plane that flew into the world trade centre. Got home and put the news on to see the second plane go in. Like something out of a film- truly unbelievable.

RIP

I don't really remember it, I was only 6 at the time.

I just remember the TV being stuck on the news for 4 days straight, I never really understood why at the time.

I was working at Anglesey Aluminium at the time... a part of Rio Tinto and a major target. I was working security in the gatehouse and we went on lock down.... nobody in ( except staff ) for almost a week.

Without a doubt, THE defining moment of the century and less than two years into it. We're still at war 11 years hence.

I was 7 years old and it was just terrifying, seeing it on the news, I'm not sure I even understood at the time but it was horrible.

RIP. ♥

I was 7 at the time but remember it pretty clearly.

I was in my 2nd grade class and I remember all of a sudden the kids in my class kept getting called down to the office to be taken home by their parents. They never told us what was going on but I dont think any of the kids knew what was going on. At lunch I remember all the adults looking really sad. Then we were released early and found out what happened when I got home.

It's crazy thinking about how I'm in college now.

Mad looking back at it now and seeing it as the defining moment of the century when at the time I thought 'What's the big deal? Why isn't CBBC on?'

RIP.

I was 7 and I remember that I thought it was amusing when my nan told me that a tower had fallen down, then I was upset when she told me how bad it actually was. I remember not understanding why someone would do that and to this day I still can't wrap my head around it.

R.I.P brave victims of one of the worst crimes ever committed
