What’s sad is that they wouldn’t let the people in the second tower leave because they thought the first plane was an accident...

[@andrewedmunds4583]

@Evan Shlom Agreed, but it makes sense when you think about it. Since the fuel tanks are stored inside the wings, the plane would have a bit of time before the wings impacted the walls and ruptured the tanks, giving the front of the plane time to penetrate through most of the building. In a way, the planes acted similar to explosive armor piercing rounds.

[@renewii]

To clear up the confusion about channel 11 seemingly getting on so late to report this - We had a morning show on air at the time and were reporting. The reason for the delay was when the first plane hit it took us off the air. During the time we were off air the engineering department was scrambling to get a backup transmitter we had to the roof to broadcast from our 42nd and 2nd street location. This was a seriously troubling time for all of us as we struggled to get back on the air we had serious concern for our engineer on site at the WTC. We found out later he did not make it off the north tower. Different time then, you can believe we have a backup transmitter now. RIP SJ

No, but I'm not from the USA so I guess that's why. We did watch a film called Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close which is about an autistic child whose father died at 9/11. It's about him trying to solve the last mystery that his father left him since they always liked to solve riddles. It's not necessarily about 9/11, it's more about the boy's mental health and his now widowed mother trying to raise him. But there was this scene which is meant to play out on 9/11 where the boy is at home and the phone rings multiple times but he doesn't pick it up. Turns out that was his dad calling from the WTC. He left a voicemail and eventually they do listen to it after years of never being able to bring themselves to do so. Let's just say that did leave some scars.

Hello Rue from euphoria

[@DarkTranqz]

I remember this so well for it being 19 years ago, and being in 3rd grade. We had just gotten off the buses at about 7:55, and all had migrated to the cafeteria to eat breakfast quick before class started at 8:30. It was just like any other day so far, glad to see our friends, some of whom we might not have seen very much during summer break, with the school year just starting again a week prior. After we finished breakfast, and were heading to our rooms, we noticed a bunch of teachers fast walking and gathering in the 4th grade reading class where there was a TV with the news on. A majority of the 1st through 6th grade teachers were all huddling around it with shocked expressions and covering their mouths. Some of the female teachers were quietly crying. We were all so young and didn't understand the full magnitude of what had just happened and what we were seeing on the TV, nor did any of us understand in that moment how this would change everyone's lives, but obviously we knew something extremely bad had just happened. We all stood around in limbo for the next half hour still trying to grasp what was going on, as I'm sure even some of the adults were, before we all watched the first tower collapse. The adults started losing what little control over their emotions they might have had remaining. All of the female teachers and some of the male teachers were crying at that point, as they had just watched so many more souls perish... Not even a minute or two later, the principle started making his rounds and telling all of us we were loading back onto the buses pronto. I guess during the 45 minutes or so of the schoolboard and principle being aware of what was going on, they were trying to get all the bus drivers back to the school, and calling parents to let them know they were sending all the kids home. Some parents had come to pick up their kids before that even. My sister and I made it home within 20 minutes or so, and my mom had raced home from work to get there first, as everyone else's parents had probably done, and she turned on the TV about a minute before we all watched the second tower going down as well. My sister was too young really, to understand that this was happening live to those very real people on the TV, and my mom didn't want us watching it. But I watched anyways. I'll never forget how heartbroken my mom was watching that second tower go down as well. She's very compassionate, and she had us, a family, so she immediately was thinking of all the families and lives being shattered in real time. This is a day I, and so many others, will never forget. The day we seen what true evil and the what the worst extent of human nature looks like. The rest of my childhood and teens I fantasized about enlisting in the military, as I'm sure so many others also did, and I pray every year that the nearly 3,000 souls that were taken that day, are at peace, and that their families continue to find strength and peace for themselves as well. Such a ripple throughout humanity, but I'm damn proud that we answered back with so much resounding strength and unity. God bless this country and those who lost their lives and family members that day.

@@andrewzheng4038 I was about 11 when 9/11 happened and I live in Central Europe. I got home from school around 3PM CEST (which is about 9AM West coast time). Our news did not mention it until 7PM evening news. I missed those as 11 year olds often do. A lot of people actually did miss it completely. I used to have a TV that I used as alarm clock - it would start with light hearted morning shows and around the time of the cartoon (6:55 I think) I would get up and get ready. The morning show was replaced with news and showed the 9/11 to me on the morning of 12th of september. I was just stuck, not believing what I am watching (or rather not understanding). I thought I was still stuck in a dream or something. I left home late, parents were already at work since 6AM (mother a nurse, dad a chef in hotel). I got detention for coming late to school and when I said that New York skyscrapers were under terrorist attack nobody believed me. Kids laughed (like we had no idea what scale terrorism can be - we only had heard of small time attacks until that point like shootings, bombings etc), teacher just gave me the stink eye. Most teachers were actually unaware of it, at least all of the ones I had (all old ladies in their 60s that did not really care about the news, they'd rather watch Murder She Wrote or Esmeralda which was screening during news on other channels). Around lunch time the news started spreading through the school and the school leadership and teachers, who did not know about it and thought that it was a student prank or something. As I said - a lot of people just ignore 7PM news (I think this might be why today we have 3 channels with agreement to not show news simultaniously e.g. one shows at 7, other at 7:30 and last at 8PM). There were no cellphones so kids could not call their parents that they are in detention and to confirm that they are saying the truth. Some teachers (generally the ones in their 30s) and staff kept telling the unbelieving majority of staff that it did happen. Our school had no TV (I mean we had a few but only for VHS playback), only radios and bunch of brand new internet connected computers (but our teachers were just figuring out internet themselves and most of the computers were still being put together and installed). The principal said that if she hears a single report on radio we will all end early for the day then. She came back 10 minutes later pale faced and let us all go home and apologised to the parents and students. It was just such a bizzare event to me. Like I had no idea what was going on. Teachers thought I was watching like Die Hard or something. Schoolmates thought I was being cheeky (I did come about 40 minutes late). The teachers that knew were just shocked how adults refuse to believe children. It was so weird. I came home and I just watched news. Trying to understand what is going on in the world. Like how can you hijack a plane (or two) and just hit a building?

[@Awakeningspirit20]

It's always crazy for me to believe that people were born AFTER it, since I was only 5 going on 6 at the time and so we were THE generation that grew up with it. In preschool when we learned about landmarks we learned about the Twin Towers. I was OBSESSED with them, and always wanted to go to the top! I REMEMBER the day, though not super well since it didn't make sense to me, how a plane could be used as a weapon, but I remember school being cancelled (though I thought it was the afternoon when it was cancelled, in my mind, but it was morning). I never even saw the video reels of it until like 2010, only pictures. It was just what we grew up with. I remember when our school put on the first 9/11 Memorial service on September 11, 2002, which doubled as a mass/prayer service since I was in a Catholic school, and I was in first grade by then... yeah 9/11 literally happened 2 weeks into kindergarten for me! I don't have any siblings and am not around kids much, so everyone I knew was at least born before it. The day after I turned 6 was the day we invaded Afghanistan. I grew up with the Bush Administration and the War on Terror, in the locked-down America where everyone was afraid. My relatives went off to Iraq, I was 7 and 8 when that war got underway. I don't really remember the panic of 2001-2003, especially from a careless kid perspective, but I do remember how repressed everything was; kids were always watched and helicopter parenting began. This is probably why my generation became so wild once 'freed' after high school.

before the attack there were a few news stations that were filmed from the top of the Twin Towers and broadcasted from the antenna on one of the towers so what they meant was you can tell when the second plane hit because the screen flickers

[@JonnyBMitchell]

"On September 11, 2001, the transmitter facilities of WNYW, eight other New York City television stations and several radio stations, were destroyed when two hijacked airplanes crashed into and destroyed the north and south towers of World Trade Center. The station's transmitter has since been relocated to an antenna located atop the Empire State Building, where its transmitter facilities had been located until they were moved to the World Trade Center in the 1970s."

Well it’s that time of year again and sure enough when I walked outside this am on my way to work, not the 11th but a Tuesday morning, the weather was identical to that day. I was 21 at the time and I live in NJ. I’ll never forget how the morning unfolded when my dad got the phone call from a friend saying a plane hit the tower. We were on our way to the job site and when we arrived a few mins later we told the homeowner to turn the tv on. Not a min later the second plane hit. We stood in diligence for years next few hours watching the news in horror. Later that day after the buildings collapsed and maybe another hour had passed, we tried to get to work, but it just seemed impossible to do anything in that moment. I remember the ash and smell in the air as smoke and debris made its way down to us. Such a horrific day for myself, I can’t imagine the people that were there. That morning forever burned in my senses.

the way the volume was raised on all the videos right before the second plane hit in all the videos (clever editing!) gave me a sense of anxiety like no other. and then the second plane hits, and you can hear them all reacting in real time to the attack. that's when everyone realized what had happened. and even though i was born after the event (only by a year), this event still makes me so emotional being raised in that city my whole life.
