Where were you when 9/11 happened?

[Early Sunsets 2,106]

I was just a few days over one year old, sitting on my mom's lap while she cried in front of the TV. I remember her telling that story one day.

Nonexistent. Wasn’t born yet.

I was actually at home at the time and saw it all live on TV...

My mom had just dropped me off at my grandma’s house because she used to babysit me while my mom went to work.

It was 3 PM here when it happened, and I was sitting in my family's sofa doing nothing. At that time my mom got a call from my late aunt in Germany, saying we should turn on the TV. And the first thing that was on was a broadcast from CNN, on all channels showing the smoking building. Then of course, the second plane came into view a few minutes later, making it an obvious attack.

I have always wondered what the next big negative thing will be to hit us... It seems it is already here, called COVID-19

I was in school. I think fourth grade. One by one they were calling students to go home early without telling us what was wrong. We joked it was go home early day.

I found out from my mom on the way home from school.

I wasnt even born and my parents didnt even know each other

I was waking up and getting ready for high school.

[gamecubeguy214 2,512]

I was hanging out in the void

[Sparkleberry 104]

I was in school in Norway. I didnt really know about it til way later.

[Sae 33]

I most likely was a fetus when it happened

Not sure. I was 4 years old, and it was on a weekday, so I'd wager that I was in preschool.
