I was six on 9/11. I only remember this generally...tense and panicked sense that i felt in my house, from my siblings who were in highschool, and my parents. We live on the west coast of Canada..yet it was such a huge event that it impacted everyone around the world.. I only started learning about the actual details of 9/11 in middle school, 6 years later. They never once mentioned it in my elementary school.

There was a phone message one woman left her husband on 9/11. She was on the plane and he was asleep still in bed. He didn't get the phone call in time so she left a message for him. How horrible must it have been to have a message left for you telling you that your wife is going to be gone forever from you before you even get that message and there's nothing you could do or say or feel that would ever change that? That was heartbreaking just to think of myself in that position.

I was about 4 when 9/11 happened.And I actually remember it.I live in Bulgaria witch is pretty far from the U.S. but it was still a very big event that was documented a lot.I remember seeing parts of the news reports about it that day.It was on a new TV station at the time called BTV (witch is now huge in Bulgaria) and the event was very well documented.I vividly remember the infamous second plane crash.It was pretty horrifying to me although I was only 4.I just felt kind of scared.

The school was put on lockdown and the only way to leave was to have parent or guardian come pick you up. I didn't have school for another week as all of NYC was on lockdown. I lost an uncle on that day, 3 of my friends lost their fathers, 3 others lost older brothers, and 5 lost close relatives. That day will stick with me forever.

I was 11 years old starting my second day of 6th grade in NYC. I was in first period dance class when we heard what sounded like thunder above our school. I actually remember one of my friends saying I hope it doesn't rain because i have to walk home form school today. The phone started ringing in the classroom and after the teacher hung up she rushed to the window to quickly close the shades. Before she was able to close all of them the class saw smoke rising into the air.

It was my first day of preschool and my first day of school ever. Yeah

[snippytheminer]

I was four years old I think, all I remember was getting home from school and turning on the TV to hear "The World Trade Center has been hit." at four years old I barely understod, I just thought, "How can anyone believe that this is right?" I don't believe they had warped morals, I believe that anyone who believes that killing that many people is a good thing to do without a damn good reason... they cease to be human.

I was in first grade... I saw it on the news, my grandma was emotional, my cousin Stacey was actually near there at the time so everyone was worried. I stared at it all with wide-eyed wonder, but I wasn't surprised. I accepted it and tucked it away in my heart. Somehow, only in the first grade, I knew that this was gonna cause so much. I knew this, but I somehow expected this and accepted it.

[mysticNTN]

i didnt know about this till i was ten i was in 5th grade and it would be the skool year of 2006-2007 and i had no idea cuz my parents never told me about it and it was never brought up so when i told my friends in school about my situation of ignorance twords the subject they made fun of me and thought i was stupid. but i honestly never new

[plushalligator]

i was 2, and my dad said that when he heard about it on the radio, he thought the world was ending. he rushed home and then i said i had a bad dream and my earliest memory is my mom telling my dad my uncle had been killed, and the hugging and crying.
