I don't remember much back then, I remember alot of people cried. I remember asking questions no one seemed to be able to answer at the time. When young alot of kids see themselves as the center of the world, that nothing else was out there. That other countries or cities only existed when you went there. It was around that time as a kid I really understood that a world was out there, that terrible things happen, that people have grief. I'm sorry for anyone who lost a loved one.
I'm from the UK and I think it was around late afternoon for us when it happened. I was 8. My mum was on a business call and the person on the other end stopped talking and said 'Turn on your TV'. She came into the sitting room where I was and put BBC news on. I remember seeing the towers burning and thinking 'How could people do this?' I'm now 18 and understand it all so much more. A friend of mine lost a loved one in the attacks and I can only imagine the pain for all those families.
I remember I woke up cause I heard my parents moving about , I went out of my room and asked them what was going on as it was too early for them to be up and about for work, I was only about 7 or 8 but I remeber my Mom turning to me and saying "Some bad man did a really bad thing, and so Dad and I need to help fix things" She then said it would be ok and to go back to bed. Even though we weren't in the same country it did still affect everyone, and it's a day I won't forget.
I'm sorry a troll decided to take the time to attack this. I also don't understand who would have the nerve to dislike it. Due to that, I'm disabling ratings.
@jskyroe1 I'd rather not to stop a flame war. This is too important to deal with that. I don't deserve any praise- give it all to the heroes who saved lives that day.
I don't even know where I was, at preschool maybe. i don't know if we had moved here yet or not. I was so young when it happened I was about 3. I hate when people use 9/11and say "If you don't remember your not a 90's kid." This affected all of us, no matter how old. People say 'respect this day." but I understand why kids now days don't. They never saw it. I hope they watch this and see how bad it was. I will never forget this day, even if I never really witnessed it.
@Jayasolo3 I agree. While a definite 90s kid myself, it's not like it DIDN'T affect everyone. If you've flown, if your dad or mom travels, if you're related to a first responder or military personnel...
I was in 6th grade world history, and we where on bathroom break, everyone was called back to there class rooms, but I didn't go because..... well I was using the bathroom.

i was in second grade, and my gym teacher ran into class and turned it on. no one us knew what was happening. they later sent us home. later that week, i learned two of my friends were near were it happened, and actually saw it happen. i live in new york, and we remark on what happened every year. still seems unreal, especially thinking that it was ten years ago.
I was sick when it occured and didn't understand at all because my mom didn't explain, but only a 2 years later I finally understood. Because if my dad and aunt were living close by they would have been up in those towers, they're both paramedics. That's when it hit home.
@writer0015 My dad was flying that day. We had no clue where he was. When I realized what that could have meant a few years later, the shock hit that he could have been dead. Both of us were lucky that day, and that's why we can't afford to forget.

I was three, I believe? And at home.
My parents saw it on TV and they couldn't believe it at first. They thought it was a movie.
