    Oh man, you're right. I totally forgot :-(

    I'll never forget.
    What's sort of unnerving though is that I have an international flight tomorrow morning...

    When I first heard about it, I was in my Algebra 1 class. I was in the 9th grade. The teacher was done with the lesson, and we were all working. Then out of no where, one of the guys in class said, "So did you hear about the Pentagon, it's on fire." Of course everyone thought he was lying, but that was the first I heard of it. The bell rang, and I was on my way to Word Processing. As I walked in the door I noticed the TV was on. The teacher looked as if she had been crying. Nothing was said. Everyone was hooked to the TV, watching in horror as the second plane hit...

    I'll never forget what happened that day... Never! So to you 9/11, I dedicate a moment of silence, a moment of remembrance.

    I remember all those I knew who died, and I renew my vow for vengeance.

    I remember being in school when all the teachers were listening to the reports on the radio. I really had no idea what was going on (I was only in 6th grade at the time).

    Holy crap! I was also in my Algebra class, but in the 7th grade, when my teacher first brought up the fact saying 2 planes had crashed into the World Trade Center.

    This was after they had hit. I had never heard of those buildings at that time, then in our next class, our Principal came into our class and handed our teacher a note, which I guess he went to every classroom and handed a teacher a note.

    I didn't realize the impact it had on people that day until I saw the look in my best friend's face.

    I wish all those victims to find peace in their lives, and for those who caused this to suffer...

    Our teachers werent actually allowed to tell us, but as I walked into study hall, I could tell something wierd was going on. Tons of people were being allowed out of school, so it confused me to hell. But my study hall teacher turned on the TV and showed us what was going on, so I had a new respect for that teacher. Ill never forget it.

    watching the second plane hitting the second tower live, without knowing what would happen as any other felt really disturbing, insane, like if the world stoped for a second or two. it was just too unreal and real at the same time. And i'm no American.

    I was in Algebra class when we were told. It's a real tragedy. :(

    It was my senior year in highschool and some of the friends in my school signed up to the army or marines soon after that happened. They are still alive, in Iraq or Afghanistan fighting.

    Never forget..

    That's weird, seems like most of us were in algebra or math class when we heard about the sad news...

    I'm referring to 9/11 THIS year. On 9/11/2001, I was asleep like a motherfucker as I had partied my tits off the weekend before. My gf (now wife) was actually in NY as it happened, and my mother, an American Airlines flight attendant, was supposed to be flying that day. My loud ass Bosnian boss (who didn't live in Tokyo) called me to wake my ass up and tell me to be at work at 6AM b/c of all that shit. I was tired, to say the least, b/c it took me hours to locate my mother and girlfriend.

    Funny i remember waking up to go to school and it was on the news in the morning, needless to say ironicly enough my 1st period was algebra, though there wasnt much talk of it till the next day.

    I saw the second plane hit and both towers fall live on TV. It is really sickening what the mass media did by constantly showing the people in the towers jumping because of the heat. Not just live, but over and over again, even years later.
