<p>haha</p>
<p>^^ Maybe?- I lived around the Hudson Area (I moved to another state now obviously). lol</p>
<p>3rd grade, don’t remember the specifics, but it was apparently a big commotion as kids were just like “did you hear about that airplane story, man?”</p>
<p>Ok maybe not then. I lived a little bit farther. But that whole speculating thing totally describes my class, my teacher wasn’t allowed to tell us just yet, but she said if we guessed right she’d confirm.</p>
<p>Honestly, I didn’t know it was a big deal until a few days later when we got the NY Times and it listed every person who had died, my parents were looking for people they had known.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>He didn’t say anything about 9/11 being a conspiracy. And take that **** elsewhere; this isn’t the thread for that. </p>
<p>Anyway, I was in 4th grade. I remember my class was in the library. I was watching on TV as the second tower fell.</p>
<p>

<p>What is a ‘middle aged man with an active engineering practice and an impressive gun collection’ doing in High School Life? I’m not gonna lie, that’s incredibly, incredibly creepy…</p>

<p>dion,
Sorry I wandred over from the parents forum where I usually exchange insults with people nearer my own age.
I peruse this site mainly to pick up useful information for my grandchildren.
I have never presented myself as being anything other than what I am.
My attack reflex was triggered by the original post without noticeing the forum.</p>
<p>I will mention that I lived through the Vietnam era and clearly remember much or the past fifty years as news, not history.</p>
<p>You will of course find many people my age who are very conservative. They are usually eager to disown former President W. as not being a “real conservative”.</p>
<p>^^^hey tool, he didnt say anything about 9/11. how about the list of things he posted that he remembered? </p>
<p>now go back to the beach and continue your pot</p>
<p>I was in Australia. Saw a thing on the news. Didn’t think it was that big of a deal. Back then, America was more of a concept than an actual place.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>What the **** are you talking about?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I have no idea who ‘dion’ is.</p>
<p>^^he assumed it was your name. i honestly cant figure how to say it either. </p>
<p>^^south jersey=pot, are you living in a bubble down there?</p>
<p>I was in 4th grade too! </p>
<p>Anyway, my mom’s friend called early in the morning, before I went to school, and told us. Then we turned on the television. Then I went to class, and everyone was really noisy and all talking about what had happened. Thats about as much as I can remember.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Dionte Christmas.</p>
<p>I dont know what pot or South Jersey has to do with anything. I dont live in New Jersey…</p>
<p>lol it wasnt to you.</p>
<p>edit: i googled it and thought you were famous haha. do you know him or something?</p>
<p>“dion” is the first four letters of your user name. Please feel free to refer to me by the first four letters of my user name.</p>
<p>Farewell. In the future I will try to limit my interactions to my own peer group. </p>
<p>Oh, by the way, I was near Washington DC on 9/11. My wife was frantic. I had to drive a rental car home instead of flying. That had to wait a day as surface travel was discouraged.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>That’s fantastic, but I didn’t sign up as ‘dion’.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I don’t know what pot has to do with this. I haven’t even smoked in about a month. I’m curious though, are you from NJ?</p>
<p>I was in 8th grade. That same day was picture day at my school. I remember watching Monday Night Football and doing my math homework the night before.</p>
<p>The weekend before the events, my brother was studying US History and I thumbed through his book. I read a section about Pearl Harbor and told him how a Pearl Harbor today (in 2001) would be weird and discussed what/how it could possibly happen if it did occur.</p>
<p>Well, all I can say is that 2 days later I got a little freaked out…</p>
<p>I was learning how to multiply (though since I was somehow smart back then, I already knew the stuff :D)</p>
<p>to be perfectly honest I don’t really remember 9/11 at all. I remember the news report on CNN but that’s it. when you’re in first grade with asian parents who try not to overblow things, you rarely get the sensationalism that the media tried to instill. as terrible as 9/11 was, worse things have happened in the past and worse things are happening now. 9/11 happened in lebanon, and yet people can only barely remember that compared to 9/11 itself. </p>
<p>btw. the war against terrorism is the second most idiotic thing that came out of that event, losing only against the Patriot Act.</p>
<p>my two cents ^^ please don’t think i’m some mindless person who doesn’t care about people dying. it just seems like 9/11 was overblown. i mean, it’s terrible that it was the twin towers of all buildings and that a terrorist group was involved, but you’d think such an event would be covered up by the government if they were going to accuse the wrong people and do worse terrorizing to them.</p>
