She then comes in and tells us what happened despite us not truly understanding what was going on. Not long after that kids started getting called out of class by their parents.

When I got home after school my mom and dad had the news on and it was being shown on every station. Then I had a better understanding of what was going on.

I'll never forget that. I'll also never forget how (despite it being a terrible, horrific tragedy) it rallied our country together. Patriotism was at an all time high then.

Another memory I have is of the night we killed Bin Laden, KUB probably remembers the Mets Phillies game that went to extras in Philadelphia where word spread around the stadium that we got him. Fans were chanting USA.
I remember the "Osama Bin Land ZEROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Rings" thread on RobustSPN lol

The greatest thread ever. One thread that we all could set aside our differences.

I was actually in the Towers a month or so before the unfortunate attacks, I was visiting New York on a trip. Interestingly enough on my visit to the Statue of Liberty there was some kind of bomb threat there that day that resulted in an evacuation.

Ever since stars' old fling left him and Macie kicked the bucket he's been on some real emo shit.

I used to think of him as an old hard ass that didn't give a fuck, now he just comes across like a baby back bitch.

Sad.

Honest question, how bad did your classmates bully you that week? I bet you were held out for like 3 months.

Yeah I had been to the top of the Towers 2-3 times (once when I was 6 years old), some of my favorite NYC experiences.

Sadly I never went to the top, just had lunch at a little cafeteria on the ground or basement level. But I remember standing outside and they were massive.

That’s the day I learned what the WTC even was.

7th grade at the time. Woke up to news that planes had collided into a building. School was weird that day.

I think my dad came and picked me up early from school for whatever reason.
