    Exactly what it says. You can say what you remember about it, where you were etc.
     
    Wow, I can remember it like it was yesterday... I was in science, a teacher came in and whispered something to my teacher... nobody told us for some reason and all the other teachers went on like nothing was wrong... when I got home, my neighbor, Glen, came over and was like New York is gone! I was like what are you talking about?! He was like turn on the news! Sure enough, there it was... Replaying over and over... the towers being stuck and falling... I was stunned, like who could do such a thing?! Then today, I saw some footage and I was having flashbacks... I was like wow, that was 3 years ago?! Hard to believe...
     
    I was in school for it. My mom picked me up early and we drove out of town and she told me that something had happened...so I turned the radio on and therre I heard it all. I should have known something had happened, because when I was leaving A LOT of kids and their parents were checking out. I saw when the second plane hit. I was only 12 when it happened.
     
    I was in English class when it happened and all the high-schoolers (My school is K-12) went into the auditorium and watched the coverage for the rest of the morning. We were watching the news when the third and fourth planes went down on the Pentagon and Pennsylvania.
     
    Ahh... "Remembering 9/11"... I just want to know why someone would like to remember it v.v

    Well, I was sick, Really sick. It was my third week without going to school. I was liying ta my bed, watching TV with my grandma. We were wtaching "TV Globinho", a block with Cartoons that shows every morning. Than, out from nothing, the "Globo News" popped up on the screen saying and showing and Image of the WTC and lots of Smoke around it. I remember exaclty what my grandma said when the second plane hit the tower: "It must be terrorists/sabotage..." Doesnt she was kinda right?
    After that, all the day was a pain to the world, and for me, that was really sick...
     
    I remember, I was in sixth grade in science class. I still remember the desk and everything. My math teacher came in and whispered into my science teacher's ear and they both walked into the hall and shut the door. I could see a crowd of all of the other sixth grade teachers. Then my teacher came in and pulled it up on the internet and showed us some pictures. There the teachers didn't know much, all they told us was that it could have been bombs, but they weren't sure because they hadn't been watching the news. I found out what really happened when I got home and I cried and cried. I still have the same image of the second plane crashing into the second tower in my mind...
     
    Yea it might have been 3 years but I remember it like it was yesterday. I got up and played games for a few mins (the TV was off, funny it's always the first thing on when we wake up) and then I went to go turn on the TV and it was on Fox News and a min or so after I turned it on the second tower (the last tower to fall) was hit by the plane. And then not long after that the Pentagon was hit and then the plane crash in Pennsylvania.
    Later on that day, that week they was showing pictures and videos of the planes hitting the towers. And then even had video of the plane hitting the Pentagon (it showed how low it came, it hit light poles on it's way in that is how low it came).

    It's a day we should all remember, even if it's a day we all wish we could forget. Them 3,000 people that died on that day should never be forgotten. They was killed for nothing, some working, some on their way home (there was this woman that worked for Fox News, she was on Fox News a good much and she was on her way back home, but she was on the plane that hit the Pentagon), some just going to go see the WTC because they was on vacation.

    I was in ninth grade keyboarding class and my teacher had heard on her cell phone that something big was happening in the news, so she asked around some of the other teachers to try and borrow a radio. She turned on the radio to a news station while we were typing our daily work. I was too focused on the work that I didn't pay attention to the radio report, but I did pick up the words "aiplane" "hijack" "Twin Towers" "crash". I didn't piece them all together until after lunch when my science teacher explained what happened and my principal got on the intercom to givve us all the formal announcement.

    To be quite honest, I really didn't care the day it happened. I don't know anyone in New York so I was like, "This doesn't affect me, why should I care?" It wasn't until I saw the pictures of the firefighters that worked for weeks on end cleaning up the place that I realized the true horribleness (new word...w00t!) of the event...
     
    I remember being in 8th grade and we were doing a bus drill that same day. I heard that the World Trade Center blew up, but I had no idea they were the twin towers. I was shocked when I heard.
     
    All I remember was a radio broadcast as the first time I heard of it. Then it was on the news 24/7 for a few days.
     
    i was sleeping when it happened since it was midnight.... only to find out about it the next day on the news...

    er I find it rather disturbing that you find humor in anyones death even if they are your "enemies" x_x. I have nothing but pity for those who are conditioned to hate, and furthermore I don't find humor in anyones death whether I cared for them or not.

    anyhow, I woke to my radio which at that time was in utter chaos, atempting to report the story. From there I turned on my Television. Yeah the sheer magnitude of the event shocked me, I didn't realize fully what the consequences of such an attack would be right away. It was only later that I realized that we were not as safe as we had assumed we were, It was a real eye opener. It was a tragedy indeed and my hearts go out to the victims and their families.
     
    I remember that I have no real comments..just today is just a sad day to remember *prays* Our Father who art in heaven hallowed be thy name thy kingdom come thy will be done* I better stop there I would be yelled at :disappoin I made a patriotic siggy thing use it if you feel like it

    IN MEMORY

    We watched as death embraced you
    And saw life pass you by
    The men who stood beside you
    Now heed the battle cry

    Though names slip from our memories
    The deeds remain so true
    And etched into our country
    The debt we owe to you

    While fallen in the battle
    Still standing by our side
    So young to give your everything
    With dignity and pride

    The weapons of the warrior
    May change as years unfold
    But the courage and the honor
    Are timeless stories to be told

    And dying for your country
    One that you will never really see
    The sacrifice is ageless
    And still a cold reality

    So where now are those cowards
    Who would not stand by your side
    They have died a thousand times
    With a shame they could not hide

    And your star's shining brightly
    For every man to see
    For the loss of each young soldier
    Is the price of being free

    I remember that day well too... I was in 8th grade english class when they finally told us what was going on. During the day we only heard bits and pieces but after lunch the principal made an announcement and explained what had happened. It was extremely scary around here since CT is right next to NY. My friend was afraid her dad was on one of those planes... but luckily he wasn't. Although, 3 people from my town were in the WTC that day and they were killed there. Now my town has the Keane foundation in memory of one of those members from my town...
     
    Me? Let's see... I still lived in Halifax back then, and I was in grade 7. That day, I decided to walk with my friend to her house for lunch instead of staying at school. We went there and came back unknowingly since, well, we didn't turn on the radio or the TV or anything since there wasn't enough time to watch/listen and eat at the same time. When we got back to school, everyone was saying how the WTC was attacked. When we got up to our classroom, they told the teacher who didn't believe them, but sure enough when we brought up the internet... we got the news reports. =\ Nothing much really happened after that. We just continued on with our lessons. But once I got home and turned on the TV, I realized how serious it actually was. A lot of planes ended up landing at the Halifax International Airport as their US destinations wouldn't take them after airspace was closed. =\
     
    It reminds meh sad memories.....i saw...it on Live, seeing the notices, the announcement of a plane crashing the WTC....then, lik 4 mins later, the second crashed....it is kinda strange to see that tragedy, at the same time it is happening....people jumping off the building...the chaos, the sadness, the fright....brrr.....
     
    I was at school in 7th grade and when we got to 5th period (lunch) they told us the world trade center was attacked. I went home after school confused intil I turn on the TV and saw the truth.

    it was a horrible and sad day. =(
     
    I can remember most of that fateful day. I remember waking up, walking downstairs into the kitchen, and seeing footage of the planes crahing into the twin towers. I asked my mom about it, and it was not an accidental crash as I had believed. I remember my friends at school being amazed at that discovery as well. My family was going to the state fair that day, but it was closed because of the attack. My mom's friend was extremely panicked, as her cousin was trapped and died in the towers.
    9/11 was one of the worst days of our contry's history:'(
     
    I remember coming home from school during that time, and since it was my birthday, we celebrated...then later turned on the television to discover what had happened in New York....it's terribly sad knowing what happened to all of those innocent people....the day i celebrate my birthday-like today for example-shall never quite be the same again....
