All I remember is being really confused about what was going on, then my friends and I making paper airplanes to throw at people. Why did anyone think a bunch of west coast elementary school kids would give a poo poo about a plane hitting a building they'd never heard of?

October Revolution posted:The school didn't tell us what was happening, so when I got home after being picked up and saw a building collapsing, I laughed. I thought it was a cool demolition thing. loving rude. I remember parents/teachers being really frustrated that we didn't all instantly understand what a tragedy it was, as if a bunch of little kids should just psychically understand what the hell was going on/what it meant. I'm so thankful my parents are America-hating commies who actually explained poo poo to me instead of punishing, and can appreciate a good 9/11 joke.

What I'm getting from all this is that kids around my age: -Thought the explosions were cool -Were happy about going home early -Only knew about this kind of stuff from video games (if at all) -Worried about missing DBZ That pretty much sums it up for me, other than my friends and I making paper airplanes to throw at each other, this is really the defining experience of the post-9/11 generation

Did anyone else know someone who would tell everybody some family member died on 9/11 but later you found out it was of some unrelated cause 4000 miles away?

I guess I'd say that 9/11 had no impact on my life other than being something to make jokes about, and a litmus test to see who to be friends with (if they dont think 9/11 is funny, then no-go)
