I was in high school. I remember a kid coming up to me and saying a plane hit the Empire State Building. My response, and I'll never forget was "that's dumb."
High school?
Ok grandpa lets get you to bed
Dag nambit, you kids and your phones!
It's ok. I was just out of high school when it happened. I'm more than happy to share my adult diapers with you if you ever run out.
Today's kids will never know what it was like to personally be attacked by two jumbo jets
We were all joking about how it would be so much cooler if it were, like, 100 Cessnas. Then the teachers got mad and shouted at us that the draft would come back.
Pearl harbor except the japanese fleet is staffed by dentists
I was in elementary. My grandma picked me up. for some reason my reaction was "doesn't that kinda thing happen all the time?" movies made it seem really normal lol
I was out of college and knew that it was big but didn't realize how huge it would become. The OKC bombing was just 6 years earlier, when I was in high school, and we weren't sent home early or offered any counseling or anything. It was just another news story. When 9/11 came around, I didn't realize just how much milk the people in charge saw in it.
