9 years and 14 hours ago

I was sitting in my 7th grade classroom watching the towers fall What were you doing?

I was on my way back from dropping clothes off at the dry cleaners. Went home and woke up my brother by telling him that the start of World War 3 was on TV.

In college and my room mate woke me up to say, "hey you might want to come watch the news" I said, "why dude"...he said, "just fucking do it." Now I am a fireman...strange.

Just closed on my first house (still there)... wife woke me up after a night of partying, she was crying. Asking if I am going back in the Military because of what just happened.... Went downstairs and I watched tv for about 3-4 hours before reacting.

Amazing I can recall what I was thinking while watching from 9 years ago.

I was at work.... just as I am today. The whole culture around here has changed as a result of that day. More security, more cameras, more places that you have to badge into.

I think I was really too young to realize what was really happening. That day seemed really weird after first period. I went through the one big "intersection" at school and the one kid was talking about how "They bombed the Pentagon!" and nobody believed him, but as soon as I walked into my history class room it was on the news. I think everyone was completely stunned and had no idea what to do.

I was out looking for a job and didn't have a radio on so I walked into a lobby to try and drop off a resume and saw this on there TV.

I was in health class, Mr. Bieber. He took us into the teachers' lounge and told us we need to watch as this would be an important part of history. One of the greatest teachers I ever had. (8th grader)

Holy shit, I can't believe I didn't even remember what today was!

I was in the same boat as you. 8th grade... had no idea why there were planes being flown into buildings. I can honestly say that I just had zero clue what was going on.
