Thank you for your service brother. Same thing happened with me. When I found this out, I was at the Mets Phillies game that was the only major national event going on that night. It was amazing. Now, all these years later, I’m a CTN on a sub in the US Navy. I don’t think I would’ve made that decision without that experience at that game

I was 26 and teaching D.C. HS kids. My homeroom student's sister was on the plane that hit the Pentagon. The city went into lockdown. Police escorted our students home. I spent the day in shock, calling kids families when I could get phone service, packing extra snacks for every kid's ride home, talking to the students, reassuring. I couldn't react to 911 until I got home - then to a bar. My friend went to 13 funerals. I remember all the bad, and have every newspaper and magazine from the time. What I remember most? We Americans make $hit happen QUICK. We come together IMMEDIATELY. Our spirit always wins.

[@jlpack62]

9-11 is my birthday. I'm not happy when anyone gets killed, but there was definitely some closure with this announcement for America and especially those who lost loved ones on that horrible fateful day. His death doesn't make up for (or bring back) the thousands of innocent people who were lost, but I totally understand how there could be celebrations. As a side note, he died May 2, 2011 (their time not ours). May is the 5th month. So May 2, 2011 can be added together as 9-11. 5+2+2 and then 11

Great video reaction! You hit the nail on the head at the beginning about it affecting the players. I do remember that night, but I wasn't watching the game - just via the internet, chilling out at home in California. Such a major operation with a good outcome, no special forces of ours were killed even though a chopper did crash. :)

I remember this day just as well as I remember 9/11. My roommate was just finishing up her semester at NYU and was getting ready to move back to California. She FaceTimed my other roommates and I as she was gathered at ground zero/ World Trade Center memorial and even only being able to see it over FaceTime was such a world changing experience. I was 10 on 9/11 and 19 when Bin Laden was killed and I can remember almost everything that I was feeling and thinking at those moments in my life. Such proud days to be Americans

[@itsmeagandanielle]

I was in college getting ready for finals. I got the notification on my phone and I just fell into a chair. I was around a lot of other students, studying, and the air changed immediately. We remember 9/11 and I think a lot of people had sort of given up (not sure that it the right phrase) and it was a massive shock. There was very little studying done that night but so many USA chants and people had changed into red, white and blue within seconds.

I was in DC that night! It was so INSANE! I don't think anyone slept that night!

[@hannahhester8376]

Your introduction was right on point and compassionate. Especially for not having been aware of it when young. On 9/11 I was in Washington DC and after the plane hit the Pentagon and another plane was thought to be on the way to the Capitol or the White House, the fighter jets right outside of the city where flying right above the trees. I was walking in the street and could see the faces of the pilots. Scary.

I was at work at the time. I had gone into one of my patient's room and the President was on, making the announcement. On 9/11/01, I had been at work, in a patient's room and watched the second plane fly into the second tower. In both instances I found it difficult to maintain a professional demeanor. May 1st was a proud and happy day.

[@jasonwyrick3413]

I was almost 15 when this happened and I remember watching this game on espn, it was the nationally televised game of the week. All of the sudden the crowd starts to react (this is at the dawning of social media so word was spreading). It was surreal because the ticker at the bottom of the screen had the information but everybody on the broadcast in the crowd and on the field had no idea what was going on. You knew what was going on and slowly everybody else began to learn as well

*The fact that New York and Philadelphia were playing the night America finally received justice was sublime.* *The fact that I felt real relief over the death of a fellow human being left me feeling conflicted. Then I remember the people leaping to their deaths to avoid the flames from the Towers and I suddenly can handle those feelings of confliction.* 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@bigschmill294]

I feel this. I've been living with the philosophy (?) that maybe it's not exactly moral to be wishing ill on people, but it is a fact that the world would be safer if some people were dead. So when people like that, who have and would do seriously vile acts, die, it's like the relief that at least one dangerous threat is gone.

My aunt had her tv on that night. I was on my laptop nearby. My mom and my brother were doing their own thing. Obama suddenly came on the tv, saying he had an announcement for the American People. I usually don't pay attention to presidential speeches, but something made me pay attention that night. As soon as he said that horrid man was dead, I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding. My Buddhist mom said "thank god" and my brother said "about damn time!"

Disclaimer: I'm an American who doesn't know anything about baseball. So, real question, why do night games on Sunday in the first place, when most people have to be up early for work the next day? It would make more sense to start that late on a Saturday when most people can sleep in the next day, but on a Sunday? They could have it in the late afternoon and still have it be early afternoon on the west coast. So... why? And speaking of time zones, if the game was taking place on the west coast, would it have been at 5pm so people on the east coast could watch it live at 8pm? Sorry, I have so many questions.

Traditionally about halfway there we would stop and get breakfast at a buffet. It was there when we saw the news about what happened. It is hard to describe the atmosphere at the hospital I typically went to. It was heavy and dark. It felt like all hope had been sucked out of the place. I was in High School when he was killed. I saw that the president was going to make an important announcement so I stayed up late on a school night. The next day at school it didn't feel like the typical "I don't want to be here" atmosphere. Students were smiling and hugging one another and even some did small USA chants. Never had that school felt so alive and happy before.

[@princeofhyrule2205]

I remember hearing about it in middle school. In middle school, we had a thing called channel 1 news that the whole school watched for like the last 30 minutes of school. For the past week, they had been covering the story, so when they said they got him, that was the first I had heard of it. Still, it just seemed like more random news and I really didn’t get the gravity of the situation until many years later. Even so, that bit of news stuck out just because there was such a heavy emphasis on it in the buildup and fallout of the event. It stayed in the news for a while and that is perhaps y I remembered it. Not because I understood the significance, but because of the emphasis placed on it.
