Do you remember what you were doing on 9/11/2001?

By the time I woke up both towers had been hit. The first thing I consciously remember is the radio mentioning something about them thinking the Washington Monument could be another possible target. I had no idea what they were taking about.

I was in 1st grade, and they sent us home because there was a gas leak, or something.

Huh, You are sixteen, but you were in first grade when the planes hit?

I'm 18 and I was in 5th grade... so yeah. Something's a little off there.

I also remember my teacher wanting to turn on the news in the afternoon to check to see if the malls were going to be open. She wanted to buy new shoes later.

I was in 7th grade and in home economics. It may be the first day that I have vivid memories of in my life.

I was in school like 90% of the people on here probably were.

90%? It happened at, like, 6 AM.

As I recall, Ben took Kindergarten twice.

The 90% was an intentional exaggeration but it didn't happen that early anyway.

Really? Well, I know it happened before school, which started at 8.

First plane hit the tower at 8:46 AM EST, or 5:46 AM PST. So you're both correct.
