Do you remember where you were during 9/11?

Posted at: 2015-04-20 
I was 5 and I had just moved to France. I didn't understand why planes were flying into buildings and only understood when I turned 10 and read the story in a kid newspaper on the 5th anniversary

facebook and twitter did not exist in 2001. Obama was not the president, and Justin Bieber was only about 7 years old at that time, so he was not making music yet. lol.

So yeah, I'm guessing this was a joke, but I guess I'll still answer the question seriously. I lived in northern Virginia at that time so I was close to the Pentagon (about a half hour away). And I was at school when the attacks started happening because I was 9 at that time. I knew something was wrong all day because the teachers started acting weird and were freaking out about something, but they wouldn't tell the kids anything. So I didn't find out what happened or see it on the news until I got home that afternoon.

Absolutely! I'd just returned from having needles stuck in my legs and arms, to see if I had nerve damage and was feeling pretty miserable becuase it hurt. Anyway, it had been an early start, so I was just about to take a nap, when my ex walked in and put on the TV. He said to me "It's like a movie". I looked at it and was then wide awake and a few minutes later, saw the 2nd plane hit. I was shocked and my painful tests, were entirely forgotten.

Chatting with a newyork based ESL teacher on one of those distance learning websites.

At that time, only one plane hit to one of world trade towers when he broke the news to me.

I was not even taking the news seriously I thought it was like a jet but he was like probably a passsenger plane and he was not sure of it either

Is the asker trying to test our memory. He knows none of the things he has mentioned was there in 2001. But I do remember where I was on the real 9/11. I was watching it on the tv in England.

I was working. And wondering if I'd be able to get home b/c I didn't have any gas in my car, and people were going crazy at the gas stations. 9/11. The dawn of The paranoid states of america. I now despise this country.

I remember!

I still remember it like it was yesterday. I woke up, and checked my facebook. Everyone was going nuts, so I went on twitter to see what happened, and my mom tweeted me telling me that one of the towers had collapsed. 8 minutes later, I'm watching this Justin Bieber music video, and they cut in with a news broadcast saying another plane flew into one of the towers. Then all of a sudden ******* Barack Obama comes on the news and starts spreading Muslim propaganda. I'm just like "**** man, I'm moving to canada" lol
