I was in 5th grade littleton, co. Both buildings had been hit by the time we got to school. The pentagon was hit when we were arriving. We knew it was serious cause in elementary school you don't leave tvs on all day.

I was 15 and doing homeschooling. That day I was lazy and just watching TV. When it all started I was glued to the television afraid to turn it off. I thought the world was ending. And local news WA saying that Tampa could be a potential target as well. My dad and stepmom were cops and wanted to go to NY so badly.

I was a sophmore in high school in gym class. the teacher told us what happened and then told us to go run laps.. we refused as we were all in shock. he tried to give us all a zero for the day... that didn't work out so well when the next day 28 angry parents bombarded the school with phone calls....

Buffalo, NY. I was in 11th grade and when I walked into my US history class it was on the news. My teacher didn't keep it on so honestly I didn't really know how serious it was, or what was really going on. My mom was at home and called the school and had me come home. Once I got home and watched the news I realized. It was scary. My sister was in middle school and they didn't tell any of the kids and they wouldn't let her out either. My mom was pissed.

Hampton va,
Mrs shacklefords 3rd grade english class. The teacher next door came running in telling us to turn on the tv. I had no clue what was going on but my best friend was from upstate ny and told me they were the twin towers. She knew her dad was going to have to go up there and help. 10 yrs later im married to a 2nd generation fire fighter and im so greatful for every thing they do on a daily basis.

St charles, mo. I was married to my 1st husband at the time and was asleep in our apartment. I was sick, running a high feaver. My mom called &i answered the phone "somebody better be dead or dying". She just said turn on the tv. I was speechless! I has a dr appointment that he canceled saying just go to the er instead. Two of my cousins enlisted that day &i was put in the hospital for a sinus infection. All the nurses were in shock. One nurse had a complete breakdown when putting in my iv in. all I could do for 3 days was watch it all on tv.

I was 20 & at home with my 1 yr old alone. My husband (we weren't married then) was downtown Chicago at work. I eas soo scared thinking if they came & did this to Chicago, I might not see him again. Our daughter would grow up without a dad. He came home about 11am. Said downtown was being evacuated due to what happened in NY.

I was in Utah getting ready for school, I was brushing my teeth and my mom called me into her bedroom when they were talking about it, I went back to rinse out my mouth and I hear "Omg another plane just hit!" I ran in there. It was just a weird day.

Lakeland, florida.
I was in my 4th grade homeroom. The teachers didnt have the tvs on & no one told us what was going on. I remember over hearing one of the girls I went to school withs mom talking to the teacher about something & i knew it was bad, just really didnt know what happened. It wasnt until the end of the day when I got on the bus that I knew what happened and it wasn't until I got home & saw it on the news and saw the pictures that I really understood how bad it was.
