What was life like for you a year back in September 2001.
What was 9/11 like?
Actually the planes were in the skies when our senior class photo was taken. According to the flight paths, the aircraft that hit the pentagon flew right were we could have probably seen it. My friend Dennis and I werent in the picture because we decided to go to the bathroom and smoke.
After like 20 minutes we went to our guitar class. I remember saying "HEY EVERYBOOBY" (I was sort of a class clown).....and everyone was like shushing me up and pointed to the TV. By that time only one plane hit the first World Trade Center. I remember anchors talking about how it could have been an accident and shit. THEN I saw the second aircraft hit the second tower. Yup it was terrorism. Then all kinds of reports started coming in about the pentagon being hit and a aircraft crashing in PA
Also a lot of false stories come out as well like the Mall of America being blown up. It was total confusion! I was shocked. My friend was in the back tuning his gutair totally uninterested. When I seen the first tower fall I said HOLY SHIT! My dumbass teacher said "watch your language". I said "1000s of people just died dude". Talk about priorities right?!
Then the second tower came down. After my block was over I just walked home to be with my family. Figured World War III was about to commence. We watched nothing but news. It really messed with me seeing all those people hurt. It was a trauma!
EVERY news station was ether covering the events or telling us to go to certain channels. Even Nickelodeon.
