I was in my mothers house and wasn't even watching tv, but it was on in the background. Took about a year but I eventually went to bootcamp.

I was in 5th grade. Some teachers were crying. They wouldn’t tell us what was happening, sent the whole school home early. When I got home my mom was freaking out, she said the commuter people for my Dad left without him so she had to pick him up. We were left at home, we were told not to watch tv. I think I found out a few days later.

I was at my neighbors house waiting for a ride to also nine grade we were running late, but all I remember doing that day in school was watching the news in every period. I didn’t really understand what was happening at the time.

All I can say is I was very disappointed we didn't get to leave school that day.

Taking state standardized exams; we postponed them

11th grade 1st hour we always watched 9 min of that news show with dian sawyer with the towers in the backdrop

I remember thinking "I wish they would just fall already so we can stop watching this" then they fell and I felt like shit for thinking that.

Basically the same story, except I was at work. It was early AM in California and heard about it on the radio on the way to work at o'dark-thirty there. I came in and the whole crew sat and watched all day in the conference room. And yes, I saw the second plane hit the tower.

Getting a ride to school. I overslept. It came on the radio and then we watched it on TV in history class.

Glued to the TV at home with my siblings and mom. We didn't go to school that week.

I was on a bus doing a school field trip while in junior high. the bus literally crossed the median and went straight back to school. the school was on lock down all day and the cool teachers allowed students in to watch the news feed.

The invasion of baghdad 'shock and awe' i had an american history high school teacher who made watching that a 2 day assignment then the next week we discussed the potential of such an event.
