Rosalind posted:On 9/11 I got up, went to middle school, and we watched TV or listened to the radio all day instead of normal classes. There were a ton of rumors and weird theories like I remember one teacher who was adamant that it was China for whatever reason. I'm sorry that happened to you, and thanks for telling us.

Cough Drop The Beat posted:America is the worst country on this planet and I'm embarrassed as a human being that this happened to you. This poo poo is not unique to America. Progressive Europe, for example, talks a big game but is actually racist as gently caress when it comes to Arabs, gypsies or brown refugees actually living in their countries poverty goat fucked around with this message at 19:42 on Sep 11, 2019 |

I was 13, which was a bad age to go through that. I was old enough to understand what happened but I didn't have the emotional maturity to really handle it. As I walked home from school, I walked over an overpass where I could clearly see the entire skyline, and I got a good view of a giant plume of smoke rising from where the towers used to be and I lost it. It's one thing to see it on TV, it's different when you see it with your own eyes. When I got home, my mom gave me a giant hug and we cried for about a half hour. My dad was an E train Motorman at the time. He was okay, thanks for asking. Got stuck at work for 3 days though, which sounds like it's own type of hell.

I just remember I went to a somewhat more diverse high school than the rest of the surrounding area, had some friends who where 2nd generation Arab-Americans who were mercilessly bullied and harassed both at school, at work as well as their families, extended families. Just tons of awful horror stories of misguided persecution in the wake of 9/11. I think it galvanized my feelings on how loving lovely, stupid and fearful most people are to The Other.

I was in second grade. My school made a point not to show the footage at school, so I all I remember is everyone getting called out of class, and then having my name called and thinking "cool!" I saw the footage when I got home, but didn't quite understand what I was looking at. All I was worried about was that they were gonna come bomb my town next.

I was in 10th grade and we were watching it on TV during class. I remember after the second plane hit I leaned over to my friend and said "at least they are still standing right", trying to be positive. Then, well....you know. Then after both were collapsed someone jokingly accused our history teacher of being in on it because he had said a couple weeks prior that the WTC would be a likely target if we were ever attacked. He turned redder than anyone I've ever seen and screamed at us about how patriotic he is how dare we accuse him etc for a good 2-3 minutes before the bell miraculously rang.

I was on my way home from work (night shift) and I heard all about it on the radio. Then my ex's father came by later that day and earnestly said, "There's been a great disturbance in the force" I had to leave the room to stifle my laughter. He probably thought I was about to break down lol I also got to miss work for the next two nights so that was cool
