Since it's 9/11, and we're remembering this American tragedy today. Just thought I'd post this thread to ask where were you all on 9/11? As a New Yorker, this event really hit me hard. I was just 16 when it happened. I was just like 3 days into the new school year, and then our school got evacuated because of the terrorist attack. All New York City schools that day in fact, let out early. The latest kids were released I think around 11 AM. After people were sure their parents would be able to come and pick them up. Or arrange for someone to. I left school after we were released, and when straight to my mom's work. Where I stayed there until 2pm. Then went home with her. While there, me, her, and her co-workers listened to the events unfold on the radio. A sad day indeed.
