Same. I remember it quite clearly actually. It was frightening.

I was 4 and in preschool when they had us run into the hallway and cover our heads. They had our parents pick us up and when I got to my house I saw smoke in front of my window and the towers missing. My father tells me that when him and my mother were on the roof of the apartment building they were able to feel the floor quake as the second tower fell.

I didn't lose anybody in the attacks.

EDIT: Clarifying that I live in NYC, just in case somebody else thinks I'm a Brit.

'twas sad.

I didn't know about terrorists or the context and consequences about it all. I only knew that planes flew into the Twin Towers and they fell. The whole thing was lost on me.

My uncle was in the second tower during the day of the attacks. My family had no idea for about eight hours whether or not her was alive because there was no cell reception in the city because it was being overused. Luckily, he was evacuated out of the building when everyone was notified of the first plan to crash.

I am sorry for those who lost anyone on that day.

Oh wow. I am glad your uncle is okay though!

Thank you. I don't remember what happened that day, but my mother tells me she and my family were terrified. She thought my grandmother was going to have a heart attack from fear.

Yeah I could only imagine how scary that must have been...

I think I was a toddler/baby when this happened, so I have no memories of this whatsoever...
I feel bad for those innocent people who died though. :C
People who did this must be destroyed, nuff said. (Hint)

That must have been terrifying, I feel really bad for 4-year-old you. I get nearly petrified when we have a simple fire drill, if I had been there on 9/11, I would have probably fainted. I'm usually very stressed for some reason, so this would knock me out.

I was 4 months old when this happened so I don't remember :I

R.I.P

It was two days after my third birthday and I don't recall the day, though my parents do. They were picking me up from daycare or something when they heard the terrible news.

My condolences to the families of the victims. I can't imagine how frightening it was to those who witnessed it in person...

I remember my mom in hysterics. Thats all.

Even though I lost no one close to me during the attacks, it still frightens me whenever I see the news reports and documentaries, I'm sorry for everyone that lost their lives and loved ones during that day...

It's weird to think there are people on this site right now who weren't even born at the time. I was like 5. I only have vague memories of talking to kids at school about it the day after.

Yeah, US making us feel safe on 9/11 by flying jets less than 100 feet from the ground over our houses. Great job guys.

I was in my mums belleh.

Never look up

It was my very earliest memory. I just remember the tv being on and seeing the towers smokeing.
