I remember being in my 2nd grade class when I heard the news. All the teachers were crying, and I had no idea what was going on, I was so clueless!
Was in third grade I think. Came home and my mom was crying in front of the TV. I didnāt really understand I just knew something reeeeallly bad had happened.
Can you believe we were so young, that was 13 years ago.
I remember it so clearly too. Itās weird how my memory works.

I was on my way to pick up my girlfriend and a couple of our friends at the high school when I heard it on the radio and was thinking ācould this be some kind of sick hoax?ā When I got to the high school everyone was out in the back parking lot freaking outā¦we thought we were going to be drafted and sent to war man.

At home. They were paving our driveway + one of the workers came to the door + told us. My mother gave them a TV so they could watch. What I remember most was the people jumping out of the buildings, which they cut out of later footage. I went + got gas in the car in case there was a national emergency. Seemed like what I should do.

You guys are so young!
I was in a partial hospitalization day program. The workers were going around trying to calm everyone, most of us didnāt know what was going on but that something serious had happened.
I heard about the details over a radio playing while I rode the bus home. I remember the bus driver giving me a strange look as I must have had a weird expression on my face as I heard the news.

I was under one bridge in Miami in my auto and followed news, I had just eaten my eggs, I made records in my notebooks that I still have with me. I dd not have TV in my auto, but I went to the University of Miami to watch how people cried and felt horrified. It was funny how George Bush reacted, āthe hour is comingā, which has lasted already 13 years and so on.
I had a pdoc appointment that day. When I got up I turn on the tv to catch the weather. Never got the weather that day. I turn on my tv in time to catch the second plane hitting the building. I listed to the car radio on the way to my pdoc She had not heard about it. So I ended up telling her.
Stood in front of the TV with coworkers for 2 hours just watching it unfold. Boss told us to try to look like we were doing something for a whileā¦
I was in a basement and got a call telling me to turn on the television. I canāt begin to imagine what it was like to be in that city at the time, just horrible.
After my psychoses they began making me see 911 on the clock repeatedly, itās several times but this is one of them. After much time of ignoring it they began to tell me about it. Which i didnāt want to know actually.
911/33= 27.606060606
No accidente.
I find it weird that I have absolutely no memory of 9/11 whatsoever. I must have been in 1rst or 2nd grade. I have memories all the way back since I was 3, so you think Iād recall such a horrible event, or at least remember if I got pulled out of school or not. But nope.
I followed these post-911 events and happenings very closely in 2001 and after. I have good notebooks I have maintained. I value these a lot. For example, Dr Lauraās, radio psychologist, radio program was taken over by some people who started their psychological program to influence the American public. Art Bell said some real bad words against Muslims that I am not going to repeat. When all plane traffic was shut down Miami Beach was very quiet and I walked around in my own peace.
i was working as a gardener in this beautiful place on top of a mountain.
the lady who owned it said to me in a panic " it is world war three ".
she was an idiotā¦!?!
and iām supposedly the mentaly ill person !?!
take care
Some very unfortunate things happened after this sadness changed to hate in America, there were people who could not understand the difference between Sikh and Muslims and they attacked these Sikh people, in some cases murdering them, which was very sad. People should not do anything when they feel hate.
I was waiting for my first class to start back when I went to a local 2 year University while getting my associates degree. I hadnāt heard anything about until someone came in the room and mentioned it. The rest of the morning for me went on like normal but then later we were told we could go home that the afternoon classes were cut because of the attacks. We may have been a small University but we were within inches of a well known area mall and the malls were all closing so I guess they figured it was best.
I remember stopping by my favorite little pizza joint and grabbing a slice before I went home for the afternoon (it had been a while since I ate and me in moving vehicles on an empty stomach is not good). They had it on their TV and I watched it while I ate prayed for the families. It was kind of bad, we were all kind of hoping for the afternoon off, which was selfish I know, but at the moment we hadnāt known how serious the attacks had been, and we were all just a group of college kids, many of us, or I guess I should say I at least was fresh out of high school.
The CIA lied to the American public in the fall of 2001 saying that Osama Bin Laden was dead and it took almost 10 years them to kill him. I knew that he was not dead, because the whole Al Qaida leadership run away as it is written in my notebooks.

R.I.P to all the victims, but I always thought there was something fishy about the whole thing.
You are too young to remember, but in the summer of 2001 the whole American economy was falling and sliding to a recession, and after 9-11 happened some famous investors such George Soros came to news saying that maybe now the recession is shorter, which it indeed was. Since 2001 America has spent 2-3 trillion dollars in wars and these have been channeled to the American economy.

I was in Grade Eleven at the time, but I remember hearing about it at home on the TV. It was crazy. I donāt remember what I felt (because for me it was an event in a distant country), but it was shocking.
