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

[Lief 🗽]

I was in sixth grade on 9/11. I remember distinctly that in my first period class (Math) towards the end of the class the teacher answered the phone and seemed to be concerned about whatever the person on the other end was telling her. Then, in my second period (Science) our teacher explained to us what happened. The rest of the day was a full schedule, except that for PE class they didn't let us go outside and made us sit in the gym. I remember coming home and the live TV show they showed every afternoon on Nickelodeon wasn't on for the day and my parents (and I) spent the entire evening watching the news.

My mom saw it on TV. After she dropped me off at school, she came back and turned on the TV and saw the picture of the tower (I think only one had been hit at that point, but maybe both had) burning and she at first thought it was some kind of movie or TV show, but then she realized that it was a live news broadcast.
