I'll never forget 9/11 - I saw the second plane hit the tower on the news and when everything came down. My brother and I were glued to the TV all day long. I moved away from home on September 15th, 2001 to go to college in a different state and buddy, the airport was as silent as a grave while I was there. Scary times.

[@charlayned]

My husband was at work and called me to tell me the first plane hit. Both of us are historians and our first thought was "fog?? Like 1945?" But no, it wasn't like that. I was watching with my daughter-in-law, and my daughter who had stayed home from school due to being sick. I had an appointment for 10 a.m. for the unemployment office (thanks, Enron--they had to let go so many technical writers it glutted the market i was hunting in). We saw the second plane hit and I had a bad feeling this was planned but didn't want to think that. I told my kids I would be home quick, I would check in and then come straight back home. On my way to the office, I had news radio on and they announced the Pentagon plane strike. At that point I started screaming and hitting the steering wheel, I had kids old enough to go to war and this was it. I walked into the office, told them what was going on, that I was not staying but going home and would reschedule when things calmed down. I never remade the appointment. They sent my husband home, nothing was getting done at work anyway. My daughter, who had been home when the Columbine shooting happened, told me that she would never be absent from school again because every time she stayed home, something bad would happen. 2001 wasn't a happy time.

[@Roddy556]

[@SunflowerHeliotrope]

I was in HS on 9/11, sitting in 2nd period Spanish class when the first plane hit. My school was just down the road from Fort Meade, in MD, and I grew up not too far from BWI airport. I had classmates whose parents worked on base, in DC, and the Pentagon. Our teacher took us all across the hall where another class had a TV. We watched live as the second plane hit. But I’ll never forget the horrified screams from the military kids when we heard about the plane that hit the Pentagon. We were all freaking out: the Towers in NYC, the Pentagon (and the kids sobbing because their parents worked at the Pentagon and they couldn’t get in touch with them): rumors that the 4th plane that went down in PA was on its way to strike the White House…and we were within spitting distance of another major installation. We were all thinking, “Could we be next?” When they finally sent us home, the bus was completely silent. When I got home, I remember sitting in my room with the windows open - the weather was ironically gorgeous that day - and I was so used to hearing planes flying overhead, but it was completely silent. Not even the birds were singing. It was that absolute, eerie silence that still sticks with me, the one thing I remember most about that day.

[@UncleDaffy313]

@@SunflowerHeliotrope, I remember I was driving to work & heard local DJs talking about New York & the Pentagon, because the major news outlets hadn't taken over the broadcast yet. Usually those fools were telling stupid jokes, so I thought it was a setup for some inane punchline, but when it just kept going I said "maybe this is real," and switched to an AM all-news station. As I turned into my parking lot, Peter Jennings was struggling to find words to describe it & said one of the towers "is just not there anymore!" It was one of a handful of times that it dawned on me I was witnessing history being made. The fall of the Berlin Wall in '89 (with East Berlin folks dancing & drinking wine on the Wall), the space shuttle Challenger that blew up shortly after liftoff, & 9/11 were all times I realized I was watching what would someday be in history books (just apparently NOT on KZbin history videos).☹

[@LoFoSho]

@@SunflowerHeliotropeI had a very similar day. I lived near the pentagon. We were all in class and our teacher answered the phone and started balling. We had thought a family member died. Nobody told us what was happening and we evacuated the school and all went home. I went to my neighbors and we watch TV all day. Her dad worked at the pentagon. She was so happy when he came through the door. I can’t remember what happened, but I believe they evacuated before anything hit it. I was in elementary school, so I can’t remember perfectly.

I was 16 in 2001 man what a time to be alive, if you are to young to have grown up in the early to mid 00s you missed out. Everything was new, Everything was unpredictable. Especially in video games, we went from 16 to 32 bits so fast, I was obsessed. I had EGM magazine subscriptions, I begged my dad for a new computer (thankfully he was a computer consultant and technician and a super nerd) and it felt like every month some new game or sneak peak into the future of video games was coming. The hype train for the PS2 was full steam ahead! I'm so nostalgic for those times. Now I'm 39 and gaming isn't nearly as exciting, it's so corporatized and soulless and predictable, no more passion, no more art, it's just post launch DLC and season passes and live service games. I still play video games, but now I'm jaded and weary of it. The past is a distant land.

Even though "Hanging by a Moment" was Billboard's #1 pop single of 2001, it peaked at #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 behind "Lady Marmalade" by Christina Aguilera, Lil' Kim, Mýa, and Pink. 2001 was one of a few years that Billboard's #1 pop single of a Year-End Hot 100 was not a #1 on the Hot 100.

Yeah pretty much the beginning of the end. The government started running unsustainable budget deficits. Due to lack of tangible improvements in the economy and technology, in order to grow, the economy became "financialized" in 2001 where housing started to become a get rich quick scheme that resulted in a banking and housing crisis but then became wildly too expensive again in just a few years. The military budget has expanded about 10x. Since the start of 2001, the Federal debt has gone up 7X. Housing prices have gone up roughly 4x to the point where you need to make six figures to buy an average house. Partisan politics has nearly driven the country to civil war with no end in sight for any of these problems as populist politicians on both sides continue to promise to implement ever stupider economic plans to spend more money that further widen the wealth gap.

Shout out to using Aaliyah for the thumbnail, that was such a heartbreak to all us. The other day was her death anniversary, she’s officially been dead longer than she’s been alive :(❤ baby girl

[@comettamer]

It's a bit less sad if you look into the story. Supposedly she made a fuss about her entourage not being allowed on and because they finally were, the plane was overloaded which may have contributed to the crash.

[@raphrobe-9896]

​@@comettamer Misinformation. Aaliyah didn't even want to get on the plane to begin with. She was against boarding coz she knew it was overloaded and didn't even like planes or flying to begin with. She was then given a pill for a headache she had, and then she was knocked out. She was carried on the plane UNCONSCIOUS. Saying it's gonna make that person "less sad" coz u lied and said she was the cause of her own death is so disrespectful. Everybody knows she was forced on that plane. Where've u been?

It is so magical having the timeline for the year actually started remembering stuff! There was hardly anything I didn't recognize. It helped me remember stuff though, I was like how to do I know Michael Vick? Oh yeah the dogs! Or like the Anthrax mail scare and the Bush - Gore election! Also, being 8 years old at the time, I was in the target audience for the baller kid movies I got to see in theaters! Shrek, Monsters Inc. and Lord of the Rings! I wasn't that into Harry Potter, but Lord of the Rings!? What a prolific year! Makes my brain light up! Thanks so much for finally getting to aughts!
