getting ready for my 9th day of high school. i live on the westcoast

[1993sE]

i was in 8th grade english class right before the announcements
crazy stuff the whole school stopped and turned on the tvs tht we had in each room and watched what was going on

[NutBucket]

Damn, everyone here was in hs!

I was on my way to work. Stern was saying that planes flew into buildings. I thought it was all BS until I got to work and saw what was happening. We were sent home (defense contractor) and were closed the next day as well.

9th grade, second period History...then the principal came on the intercom for the moment of silence, then they set up a tv in the gym and everyone went in there to watch what was going on...we basically hung out in there all day.

I remember they were letting kids go home if their parents called in.

10th grade world history. Walked in the room and the teacher I had was kind of a jokster, so when he said a plane had hit one of the world trade centers the whole class just laughed at him until he turned on the tv. On the same subject my mom remembers exactly where she was when she first heard that JFK was shot. I know I will always remember 9-11 and will one day share it with my children. I am the kind of person that when something like that is going on I throw a tape in the VCR and tape hour after hour of coverage. I have over 8 hours of coverage on tape. LOL I lead a sad and lonely life in case your curious.

It was my senior year of HS. I was in the school library doing my hw from the night before. I was messing around on the computer and the internet connection stopped working. After a few mins, it was all over the radio and tv stations. All hell broke loose after that....

[Numba1Hater]

Let's see it was my birthday and i remember waking up, turning on the tv and seeing what had happen. Then my mom comes in my room and was like your not going to school today. But when i tell people that my birthday is on that day they freak out and are like how do you celebrate it??? lol!

[King James]

Grade 10 Science....Our principal came on the annoucements and said that the states had been bombed....I also remember that we had just got our satelite hooked up that day and for the next 3 weeks there was nothing on tv cept replaying all that stuff.

10th Grade..Homeroom/study hall...just chillin..another teacher had come in and actually turned on the tv for us and said we need to see whats goin on. Watched the 2nd tower get hit...think we even got to see them both fall, it was so surreal/shocking, that nobody was taking it seriously. When that class was over it was lunchtime and we had open campus lunch, so everyone went outside and, my HS wasnt too far from a small local "downtown" type airport and everyone was like, "oh no! the planes are gonna crash into the building!" just joking about it, but now, i dont think anybody thought that was funny....
