Where were you on September 11,2001?

A party. It was for a birthday party. Kiley was waiting for her father. Who was working at the World Trade Center. He died in it. So she never partied again.


For my best friend Charlie, she was at school with her mom voting. She went tahanan with her and they watched the news. Charlie still thought her father was alive. Jessi, her older sister explained everything and she was depressed until Christmas.

I was 4.
I was in my parents room, watching the crash in fascination. Sorry that the people died, but it's really not THAT big of a deal. Way madami people died in thee Iraq war, and do we have a araw dedicated to them? Noooooooo. And the Iraq war was AMERICAS FAULT. My guess is most people really don't care as much about foreign lives as we do our own, which is sad.

i dnt remember i was 4

I was in preschool and my mom told me that they were in a lockdown but she came to get me anyway.She wasnt about to leave there without me.

I was at preschool when all of the sudden my teachers started to take pics of eveyone....

-Spi

I was five. I don't remember, except for some "big news" on the Televison. I left the room, and didn't stick around to find out. Mom told me later in my room what happened. I was scared.

I was in the 5th grade..I remember hearing it on the news.I couldn't belive it.I hoped it was a giant practical joke.I guess i was in denial back then.It took me a while to except what happened.

I was in kindergarten. I was tahanan when the planes crashed, but my mom still sent me to school. She wasn't going to, but her friend convinced her that I'd be ligtas & it would be better for me & her because I wouldn't be tahanan and asking why she was crying. So, essentially I don't remember, this is what my mother told me.

Apparently that night I was scared to I slept in my parents room.

i wuz in my room, playing, oblivious to the tradgedy. My mom wuz crying and i didn't know y until now.

I was five at the time, and, for some reason, I have absolutely no memory of anything at that time.

I was 5 years old when it happened, so I can't remember much about it, but today I see it that 9/11 was when America was attacked and when the world trade center got destroyed along with the people that died in it

I was 12 years old, in 7th grade. I remember coming tahanan from school seeing it on the news and i asked my mom what happened and she told me. My jaw dropped.

I was in my 8th grade english class. I remember my teacher's face when another teacher told her what was going on. They then took us all to the aklatan and they put on CNN and we watched what seemed like some movie...I'll never forget that day.

I was 7 too but all i remember is being at tahanan watching tv thinking "Why are we watching the same movie scene over and over again?" I seriously thought it was a movie.

Age: very young
Location: Sooooooomewheeere out theeeeeere, beneath the paaaaaaaale moonliiiiiiight...

I was in Elementary school. I don't think I even knew anything happened. My parents are Chinese, so they didn't told me anything. I don't really have a memory on it =/

I was in Hapon in the middle of a typhoon.

I was only four when it happened. The only thing I remember on that araw was when I came tahanan from school, and my mom was sitting in the living room, watching the news and sobbing. I hugged her and looked at the TV, and I saw the smoke around the buildings. I asked, "Mommy, what's wrong? Is the movie making you sad?" and she just stayed silent. It wasn't until a few days later that she told me about the terrorists, and I had nightmares about it for two weeks.

At was school in my segundo grade class also and I was 7 too, my whole school went out side to the schools flag ploe, and we prayed and had a moment of silence too, and yes we still have moment of scilenes in my old elementry school, and in my high school...my thoughts and prayers go out to the families that have Nawawala loved ones in this tragedy...God Bless...

I was on vacation in Orlando Florida at Disney world!! I get up very early every morning. I was making coffee and was getting ready to make breakfast for everyone who was there with us. I was trying to watch TV and looking into the yungib with the volume turned way down (not to wake everyone else up) and saw the first plane go into a building. My first thought was I put on some sifi channel instead of the news. I went in to change the channel and while looking to see what channel was news I saw the susunod plane go into the other building. Before I knew it ...it was real life and I turned up the volume for everyone else to wake up and come to see that our country was under attack!!!!
We all had people there in New York and we were all on different phones trying to get in touch with our relatives. For almost the whole araw watching over and over what was going on... we finally got through to hear that our mga kaibigan and family were OK but they were involved with what was going on in New York!!!
So while I was in "Fantasy land" the real world was going to hell!!!!

Yup, then I was 2. I still remember that my Dad brought in my Mom. He was watching the news and right as my Mom walked in, the 2nd plane crashed.
What're the odds?

I just remember watching it happen on TV over and over again and thinking "Why are they ipinapakita this over and over again?"

K-mart

I was in kindergarden when 911 happened. My dad brought me tahanan to my mom and baby brother, he told me if we were gonna die also we would die as a family. All I remember was every channel on the tv was the video of what happened. Its a shame the fight is still going on...

yeah, a lot of people in my school are children of military families. i really dont feel loyal to the US but despite that 911 was still a tragedy because of so many innocent lives taken.

my dad sinabi at his parents house. plural possessive.

Back then I was a preschool student. We didn't have school that araw (We didn't go every single araw to school. Only a few days of the week.) and I was sitting in front of the TV. Then the breaking news ulat came on. I never saw anything about the twin towers, but I saw something about the pentagon. I remember my mom standing up from her chair in an angry fashion and yelled " I ate there! How dare they! " and stormed out of the room. I didn't understand until we didn't have school the susunod day.

A friend of mine had an uncle that worked there. He was running late that day, and when he looked up at the towers he saw the planes crash into it. His girlfriend worked there as well, but she had an earlier time to get in there than he did and wasn't late, so she died. It must have been hard for him.

i dont know (hey l was like 1 taon old) p.s im just 10

I was celebrating my 9th birthday......

At school, first grade. Then at araw Care later on.

in 1st grade, i was 6 years old. i remember we came in from recess, & my teacher sinabi something very sad happened, & then this kid started
fake-crying, lol totally inapropreate i know, but we were just kids...the teacher explained to us what happened, & i didn't quite understand, & when i got tahanan my parents explained further...

I was in Hapon visiting my dad's side of the family before I had to go back to the States and go to school again. I think it was at night when we got a call from my aunt (on my mom's side) telling us the news. My parents were really quiet after that. The susunod morning we were going to see if our flight was still open but it wasn't, so we stayed for another week and I was a few days late for school. When I got back one of my mga kaibigan was crying. His cousin worked there. Everyone sinabi that he hadn't stopped crying since the incident. I won't forget that.
I was eight at the time. My family hasn't gone to Hapon in September since then. And each taon we hold a silent vigil to remember those people.

I was in the 5th grade... maybe 4th grade, I had just turned 9, and that morning I remember the usual getting up, eating cereal w/ my brothers. On TV my mom usually watches the news in the morning, so she was watching the news & they showed the first tower... then the 2nd... I still went to school, and they had us wait in the library, and all the teachers were in there & they had the TVs on... I remember parents were trying to pick their kids up, but we were all so confused cuz we were so young... very unforgettable day

I dont remember, but i was 9...

I was getting ready to go to work at the local hospital.

Well, I was in the segundo grade, so I'm guessing I was at school. I don't actually remember the day. But the susunod araw at school our teacher was ipinapakita us the newspaper & on the front cover was the towers.

I don't remember the actual event (I was only four) but I do remember in segundo grade my teacher just had us draw mga paru-paro all araw in class. She sinabi that something really sad had happened on that araw and she didn't want to see sad things anymore. Then the susunod araw we walked in and our whole classroom was covered in glitter and butterflies.

I was about 5..I remember being at my grandma house where u can c it happenin. I cried my eyes out I cudnt believe the site my grandma said. Today I am 13 and last taon 9-11-09 my little cousin was born.

idk........ i was little... but i know that i was in it before it got destroyed..... it was a sad day......... ):

I was at home. With my parents. Don't remember much.

i have an amazing memory, i was in kindergarten and they released us early,but i was going 2 the bathroom when the planes were crashing and i had pasted a teachers lounge with the news on and i saw them crash and went in2 class and told my teacher. i was really scared.

I don't remember,I was only three.I actually don't know much about what happened.I've learned a few things about it today though.

I was at tahanan with a fever that day. I was 3 or 4.

I was 7 and I just came tahanan from school when it happened i remember my dad sinabi omg turn on the news look what's happened, have you heard? and I was like omg! I couldn't believe it, i actually remember everything that day.

I was mga kaibigan birthday party (that's right, she shares her birthday with 9/11). Her Mum called us into the living room and showed us the clip on the TV, the one with just one tower on fire, I think. I was only five, so I can't really remember all that well. It didn't really click at the time, but my family was on tuktok of the towers two weeks earlier on holiday, which is scary.

I was four and my dad was watching television. I remember him yelling: OH WHAT THE FUCK?! and I hid in my room

I was five and in class that's it

I don't remember much of that araw since I was only eight years old when it happened. The sad thing is that I never even heard about it until I was in the sixth grade! I mean, I never heard the teachers mention it in school and I never heard my family or my mga kaibigan talking about it. It was only until in the sixth grade when my teacher sinabi that to those of us who don't know about it, shame on us. Since I've learned about it I decided to look up madami stuff about it but I couldn't look at much because it seemed to painful, especially when I watched a video of it that was from a pedestrian's camera and looking at all the damage and thinking about all those poor souls I just couldn't look anymore :'(

i waz 2 young to remember,i waz just a 1 taon old,
and was turning 2 the susunod month.that's right.

I can't remember anything on that day.
but I think I was too young to remember something about the twin towers

i was 4 years old and i saw it on the news. i saw 2 big exploding buildings.

A mga kaibigan birth araw party, like Loopy. It didn't really mean anything. I remember seeing the image of a plane crashing on the news, but then turning my attention to te Skips I was eating.

I was in my house watching TV. I was 9. I don't get the point of this question.

i was in school that araw and i was in kindergarten. i remember my mom coming to pick me up to take me home. i didnt really understand what was going on at the time but now i do. and yes i also have a moment of silence in my school. and looking back at that araw and seeing what it did to us it just brings tears to my eyes. and im so sorry for anybody that Nawawala there family members that day.

I was at school and I was in first class, making me 7 aswell. Actually, I was only six, but almost 7. It was my granny's birthday, so when my dad picked me and my two brothers up from school we went to our local supermarket to buy her a present. We're 5 hours ahead over here, so it was three o' clock when we heard the news. I remember seeing the look on my dad's face, because he had a friend who was working in a building near the trade centre. Luckily he was fine, but it took dad ages to track him down. I couldn't understand why someone would do that, and I remember asking my dad why when we heard the news. He wasn't able to tell me.
For weeks it was the only item on the news, and I remember getting annoyed at it. I didn't understand why people didn't just ilipat on.
I witnessed that horrific araw from thousands of miles away but it still shaped my world. A few taon later I made mga kaibigan with a new american boy in our school: his uncle and three of his cousins had been killed on 9/11.
Every taon on the anniversary of that araw I sit and pray for all the people who died and their families.
At 7yrs old I didn't understand, but now I do. I get angry and cynical and depressed when I think about it and watch documentaries on it.
It changed my view on everything. It shaped my world, though I had nothing to do with it.

I was 1 almost 2 when it happend...I don't remember a thing that happend that araw well i was 1 so yeah..and so i don't know if any mga kaibigan or family i knew where killed...But i will pray tonight for all the poor souls that were Nawawala in the event and god bless whom familys or familys memebers that were killed during or right after the event...God bless God bless there souls ;__;

God bless there poor souls...

I was at school that day, but I don't remember it very much, except the teachers had the TV on and told us to go play.

I was in kindergarten so i dont remember.

and we do still have the moment of silence here in Wisconsin

I was 4 so I don't actually remember. But my dad was at work and a friend of his called him and said: 'Turn on the TV now!!!' and when he did, he watched the segundo plane crash. :(

Oh, it's a oras left of 11/09... I haven't noticed... lol

Gosh, well, eveything went wrong, I think there's something serioulsy wrong with this date! Three cars have collided, one died, I helped and because of that, I missed my super-cool party! Why can't people just drive like me?!

I was tahanan with my family..We were celebrating my birthday...When we heard the news my mum sad that we should give some respect to those people who died there...And we did it...We have turned down the music and had a minuto of silence...I know that its strange thing to do,specially on your b-day but i was't mad or anything...I know that that araw for me should be full of happiness and joy but even now,9 years later we still do that because i know that there are people who Nawawala their loved ones on that araw and they are suffering...So smallest thing i can do as another human being is to have that minuto of silence and honor ones who died on that day...I am so sorry because this had happened and that those people died that day,because they have deserved to live and to be loved...And now all we can do is honor them and remember them...

I don't remember much of what was going on that day; I was only 6 years old in the first grade. I remember walking in the living room, watching the tv screen with a perplexed look. The only memory I got out of this araw was bombarding my dad with tanong of what was going on in the news with two planes crashing into two buildings, and exploding. :(

i was in dippers i was 2 at the time but when i grew older on 9/11 my nabber adam (he is the same age as me) showed me a vid of 9/11 i rembmer the bildings falling ad everyone runing and behinde there was a relly big gray ulap of smoke but some of it was the twin towers

I was tackling my first week at middle school, and i remember being sent to the auditorium then dismissed from school. While i was en route tahanan i remember hearing things on the radio about explosions and building colapses. When i got tahanan mom and my little sisters therapist were watching the telebisyon with a horrified expression on both faces. later that araw i remember being embraced sa pamamagitan ng a sobbing grandmother, and i also remember seeing a lot of american flags and ribbons making appearances on peoples houses and businesses, and that was the only thing we could discuss at school for weeks.

i dont really remember but according to my dad i was like 4 and my dad was gonna take me, my brother, and sister (who were only 1) to this park cuz it was one of the hottest days of the taon and when we got tahanan we saw what happened ont the news.i live in canada so we dont really have the moment of silence thing...

I don't know how old I was, but I do know I was probably at home.. It was my half- birthday..>_> I can't remember anything..

I was in kama and just got up when the segundo one was about to fall.

I was in kindergarden.

In kindergarden wondering why we couldnt havew outdoor recess on such a lovely day, I never understood it 'til i was in segundo grade.

sleep....

I was 7 and I lived in Canada so I wasn't worried I was sad about so many lives that were Nawawala one of them was my uncle, yeah so when I saw my mother crying I was starting to worry aboutthe rest of my family that lived in the US and my aunt but on a better note uhh my aunt got remarried and had some kids and I moved to the US but my mom sinabi if there is one madami terroist attack that we were going back to Canada.

umm. i was alive.. doing something... i think i was in kama with my parents watching the planes hit the twin towers on tv..
