The worst 9/11 ever was a few years ago when I stubbed my toe really bad. It hurt for like 4 hours, definitely the worst thing that ever happened on any September 11th. My toe nail is permanently fucked up from it so I can never forget.

I remember people starting to freak out when they realised it was a country that white English speaking people live in

I was doing something on my computer, my parents called me to the living room where the TV was. They probably felt this was an important historic event that I should be present for or something.
I was kinda uninterested in something happening in a country on the otherwise of the planet so I went back to doing whatever on my computer.

Edit: shit just noticed it's 9/11 today. Well happy 9/11 everyone!

We were visiting the US when it happened, it ruined our holiday. Luckily being a retard I carried around a floppy disc with a custom IRC client so I was able to talk to friends for the 2 months I was stranded in that shithole.

I barley remember 9/11. The only thing I do remember is coming into the living room and seeing the towers on fire on TV. My parents told to get back into my room and don't come back out. I don't even remember being pulled from school or the lockdown that was put in place during the attack. My elementary school kept what was happening so well hidden from us that to a per-schooler it seemed like a normal morning.

Being so young at the time, I couldn't understand why my parents were acting so strangely to what was on T.V. My parents' mannerisms seem so strange that it didn't register in my head that it was despair.

Sounds like bullshit to me unless you elaborate.

My dad woke me up and said "Two planes hit the world trade centre," I was and still am not American so the information meant nothing. My future high school had a scholarship entry exam and while being driven there my dad rambled that the world would never be the same and the USA was about to go fucking nuts. I was thinking the perpetrators were like the Sinister 6, the Spiderman villains. A few days later the news broadcast muslims in my country celebrating the attack, and my little ass decided that muslims were scum.

Let's see, I was 17, about to turn 18. Had graduated, was going to start my first job in a couple months. I'd slept in that day - mom found out via the little FM radio she listened to around the house, she told me about it.

I thought a little personal prop plane was what they were talking about, and maybe the pilot had a heart attack. Sad, but oh well.

Some time later my dad called.

My dad called and was absolutely freaking out on the phone and yelling about how we were going to war so that convinced me to turn on the TV. I think I actually saw the second tower collapse live - I'd missed watching the rest of it.
Shit was absolutely insane.

I remember having the vague thought when I went to bed that night -
"This is the world I'll live in as an adult."
True enough, the world has been on a steady downhill roll from that moment on.
</old person rambling>

Back when I had a reddit account I'd frequent the morbid reality sub. The streets were quite literally littered with scraps of human flesh and gore. You can probably still see the photos there if you search for them.

You know, all of the problems of today's America, even as of 2022, seem to stem from 9/11 indirectly (I know crazy thought). I wonder if all the progressive shit would even be a thing if 9/11 never happened. It still feels like America, even libshits, still can't get over that day and all the strange behavior that is observed right noe is just some kind of abstract cope.

I came out of my room to get ready to go to school in 9th grade. I thought my parents were watching a movie and I saw the 2nd tower get hit live. I stayed for the grand finale and remember my feelings being like HOLY SHIT but I pretended to be sadder than I was to try to get out of school. They made me go to school anyways.

I remember 2011 being relieved that people weren't all crying and moaning about it for the two weeks around the day itself. I was in grade school when it happened so I can vaguely remember flying before and after being different. Otherwise I kinda just never really cared. If the site wasn't half-UI + tor then I would post an old 9/11 maymay. oh well.

i was actually in the city like a couple days before hand on a trip but had just gotten home like the day before and was watching cartoons and i remember they interrupted whatever i was watching for the news thing or whatever. and i was just really annoyed because i wanted to watch my cartoon cause i gave zero fucks about a stupid building. even now i still have a weird opinion of the whole thing. like i thought they would go after the statue of liberty or the empire state building.

i also remember afterwards all the kids in school were obsessed with joining the army and fighting the terrorists and would just bully anyone that even looked vaguely middle eastern. there was this one dude who was just a tan italian and they would call him ahmed and beat him up all the time. being an american after 9/11 especially in school was such a fucking trip because i swear everyone went from calling each other gay as the big insult to just being like extra levels of racist to anyone that even looked a tiny bit like a terrorist. also never forget freedom fries

I was a fetus, so I remember while swimming in my mother's embryolic muck and hearing on the news the exact moment the second tower was hit. It was traumatizing and I still think of that tragedy every single day.
