I remember I was pregnant with Ciena and went to the DollarTree with my mom. I saw they had their tv on, which I didn't realise they had one. And we stood there in shock as the news showed the towers being hit and then later the Pentagaon.
I was in fourth grade. I couldn't tell you what subject we were probably in the middle of, but someone went around to each room, took the teacher aside to tell them what had happened. My teacher, Mrs. Saylor, told us what was going on, turned out the lights and let all of us children watch as the horror unfolded before our eyes, then the second plane crashed, then the camera zoomed in on the people in the upper floors of the north tower as they started to jump to their death. Soon after the school psychiatrist must have said something to the principal because she came on the intercom and instructed all teachers to turn off their t.v.'s immediately and return to our normal activities. I found out later that my teacher wasn't the only one that had to be told multiple times to turn off the t.v. When she finally did, she explained to us that people were concerned about us getting PTSD. I will never forget the feeling of mixed conflicting emotions. I had no idea how to react, no idea how to feel, think, act, so I sat for a while, cried for a while because others were, then went home and felt blank and empty.
I'm just curious how vivid others remember this historic day...
I remember I was a freshman in HS. I was in my computer class when the planes hit. We watched on t.v. everything that happened. Then I was switching to my math class and the teacher wouldn't let us watch anymore of it because we had a test.
I was in the sixth grade, in social studies class. As soon as word got to the teachers every tv was on. I can remember sitting there watching my teacher as well as the others crying and us, the students, not knowing what was going on. It's crazy to think that it has already been 10 years.
I was in the 4th grade. I honestly can't remember what I was doing when it happened. My school kept it from us. The teachers knew but they students didnt know at all. I didn't really find out till lunch time when the teachers were acting weird and listening to the news in the cafeteria which they never did. I wish my school would have allowed us to watch the news of the attack.
I really respected how the NFL and other organizations honored those who died in 9/11 today. However I has shocked that the NFL wanted to fine players like Lance Briggs $15,000 for wearing gloves and shoes that honored 9/11. He wanted to wear gloves that had American Flags on them and said "Never Forget 9.11.01" on the palms.
I was actually in class at EKU (remember I am the non traditional student!). I was in the Dizney building in a Medical Coding class. I was living in Corbin at the time. Classes were dismissed early, and the drive home was so sad and lonely. I will never forget the fear that I felt, no one knew what was going to happen next.
OK, well I was at work in Frankfort, KY. I lady who I worked with knew that I was in the NAtional Gaurd. She came to me and asked me what would happen if terrorist destroyed the world trade center. I just said well I'm sure it wouldn't be good. She told me that two planes had been flown into the twin towers in New York. Within four hours my unit the 1103rd MP Detatchment was activated and put on high alert. I was scared for the victims and for myself.
We all remember the day this took place. It was mind blowing for everyone, but we must not forget the days afterwards, and 10 years later. We are still fighting for that day. With every life lost that day and until the present day, we will never be the same.
I was in 4th Grade sitting in social studies. I remember my teacher being in shock but me not really knowing what was going on. I thought that it was just one of those history movies we always watch through school. I felt so young almost too young to realize all of the pain and hurt that all of the americans felt that day. Now as I look back I feel that but at the moment I couldn't grasp all the lives that were lost in a day. It's really hard to believe that it has been 10 years..
