Gen x here. We are doubly scarred as most of us also watched the Challenger explosion live on TV in school. Both days will haunt me for the rest of my life.

I was 14, my mom was driving me to school and we were listening to Howard Stern. He said a plane hit the trade center. We were disgusted thinking he was making some kind of joke. Once I got into my first period class I saw the TV and realized it was not a sick joke

I was 10. Old enough to go through the realizations in real time with everyone else. Our classroom tv turned on as we tried to figure it out. Before it got really bad, we were sent home - it's ok everything closed down for protection and safety, your parents are able to get you. Oh, it was an accident? No, they hit the other tower too, this was on purpose. Why are all those things flying out the windows, because it's windy that high up? No, those are people. They are jumping. Why? What about elevators and stairs? Oh, the heat from the fires and explosions has melted the building frame and stairwells. They can't go that way, they are trapped. Oh. Wait, other places were hit too? Why are they hurting us? .... And then the days after, filled with dread and hope since the news was always on, no matter the time, and people looked for missing and moved rubble, and maybe died trying. Was I able to get the mail still? They say there's a poison powder on it. What if I touch it?...... it defined everything for us. This was at a key part of our development as people, as we learned who we, the US, were to the world. Don't forget every memorial video on the anniversary every year after, bc even though they blurred the bodies, you can still see them falling. Then the movies came out. We don't want to forget, so let's make sure we retraumatize everyone to sufficiently indoctrinate their views on the world and the power of the USA. My entire teens I wondered if the kids in my class would be going to war. I went into psych knowing that I would have a job forever bc of how certain I was people would come back from war with mental health issues. I wasn't a fighter, but I would heal those in need. This was a fundamental shift for all of us. This was so much bigger than one terrible day of tragedy.

I was a young adult. I had just graduated from college and started my first teaching job. I had just turned 22. I was standing in the hallway talking to my mentor teacher, I was in the central time zone, so it was just before student started coming in. They were milling through the hallways of the high school and the resource room was right next to my classroom. The librarian came out and said, something crazy is going on and had the television turned on, and I walked into the library just moments before the second plane hit the second tower on camera for the whole world to witness. It felt terrifying and crazy and we couldn’t get to our classrooms or calm the students because everyone had huddled around TVs and computers that were in the school and everyone had news pulled up, listening to everything that was going on. It was a stunning day. It was a day that made your heart sick and left everyone in the building, students and staff stunned and unable to articulate the feelings, and the magnitude of what had happened. Silence in the halls of a bustling high school was so poignant, so representative of the loss that America felt collectively in that moment. Thank you for sharing your memory.

I was 15. I just woke up on the couch from getting drunk with friends the night before. I can still see it clearly in my mind as the day I saw it live.

11 Mrs. Ward's English class. Science teacher Mr. Pryor came in and turned on the TV with his universal remote. We watch the second plane hit live on air. I'll never forget where I was.

people dont understand that the world thought the first plane hitting was some kind of accident, we were processing the first hit when the second plane hit and we watched it live. then when we were processing that the first tower fell and then the second. but we were also hearing as the pentagon was another hit. watching people choosing to end their lives by falling from the tower was something that will be scarred in my brain

What really hurts is what we lost beyond those lives lost on 9/11. We lost hope, privacy, our rights, and were flung into a state of forever wars. Make no mistake, we are still dealing with the ghosts and horrors unleashed because of 9/11. Everything changed and yea we can’t forget.

my 20 y/o son keeps making jokes, and I'm sitting here crying every time a video comes up. He just doesn't get it, no matter how much I try to explain.

I worked in Midtown and was on the train headed to work. We were stuck on train for so long and by the time we were able to leave, there was chaos in the streets. Military jets were flying over us later and bcuz we didn’t know what was happening, everyone was running thinking we were still being attacked. Phones were not working so you couldn’t communicate with loved ones. I didn’t get home until 9 that night bcuz travel was at a standstill for a while. I will never forget that day😞

I'm an American living in Iceland and I've had co-workers from all over the world asking me how I'm doing today, sharing with me where they were when the towers fell and how they felt. Poland, South America, England, Serbía and more. I didn't realize how much the events of that day in America affected the entire world.

I was barely 20. had moved by myself across the country from CA to Syracuse, NY with a bag and a few pennies. I was having my wisdom teeth pulled at a community clinic. I went to th3 bus stop, my boss at my crappy job wouldn't let me have the day off. I sat on the bench next to two elderly ladies. one quietly asked the other, "did you hear about New York?" I climbed on the bus, and the breaking papers had photos of the first plane. I walked into work, everyone was crowded around a tiny tv in the breakroom. my mouth packed with gauze, in so much pain and head fuzzy with meds, I watched. I stood there with my much older coworkers, and cried. I had no one in Syracuse. I used more money than I had to take a taxi home. i went to my neighbors house. she was the closest thing I had to a mom, and I only knew her for 3 months. I cried with her and her family, and watched all of it unfolding. it was so much more than the first two planes. for days, it felt like the world was silent. muffled. slow. everyone was grieving. People crying in public, most hardly spoke. the clerk at the shop with red eyes and a weak smile. every person you passed, you locked eyes. and connected in grief, we both knew. we all knew. People comforted strangers. it was too hard to fathom. I moved back home not long after that.

Many of our parents and grandparents can tell us EXACTLY where they were, and what they were doing the moment they heard about or saw the JFK assassination. Now we understand having a day burned into our memories that same way. 💔 It took a week to hear from my uncle to find out he wasn't at work that day.

Not even just in the US either, with the time difference I got home from school and my mum was watching the news. We had just got NTL and had 24 hour news channel, I got home just as the first tower collapsed and I remember being so shocked. My mum was just still, wide eyed, watching it happen and I was holding a Tupperware of fruit salad my sister had made in school that day. I asked my mum a few years later whether she thought about changing the channel when she realised I was watching it too and she said she couldn't look away and it wasn't really a choice she made. She was dating someone who had just flown back to New York to sort out some things before he planned to move to England and be with her, and I remember her spending hours trying to call him and she couldn't get through. The news just kept replaying footage and I remember realising that some of the 'debris' falling wasn't debris at all. Then not long after, the 7/7 bombings in London and that was just terrifying in a different way.

I was a 17 year old girl, watching from my livingroom in Norway. I was traumatized. That day has haunted me for 25 years. And just like you, watching it as an adult still makes me feel the same as it did that day. It effected the whole world 💔🕯️🌹

My mom left work and came to get me, Mrs. Neison was in the office and she said "is this really necessary?" My mom said "I dont know what is going on but I'm taking my kids home." I watched the sky the whole time we drove to pick up my little brother at the elementary school.

I was at my friend's 10th birthday party. I vividly remember all our mums gathered by the TV watching it. We were told to go downstairs to carry on with the party, and I am so glad I didn't watch it all at the time.
