Where Were You (When The World Stopped Turning) with Lyrics

Just out of curiosity. Where were you (If you remember) when you heard about 9/11?

No hate please


I was 5 years old, and I still remember it like it was just yesterday. It was my first year in China and I had just recently moved in a few months ago from L.A.

I was in the 1st grade living in Shanghai, China. It was 8:46 PM when the first plane hit. (Shanghai is 12 hours ahead of New York City).

My parents had heard about the attacks from friends through phone and rushed home from dinner. They turned on the news to Chinese reporters streaming the events live. I think I was asleep at the time, or I was about to go to sleep, but my parents called me over to watch. Of course I didn't understand what was going on.

My brother said I laughed at the falling people. If that was true I really want to go back in time and slap myself. I can't believe I would be that disrespectful.

It was very sad, I was about 4, 5 ish and in kindergarden. I didn't know about 9/11 until like 5th grade. And don't feel bad, you probably thought it was a movie or something.

I was in grade 6 at the time the teacher told us all "the twin towers have went down" (had no clue what the hell those were since I'm not American nor did i pay any attention to American events) so i said "Thats nice why do i care that some random towers went down"

[Devie]

Was in school.
5th grade.

Broadcasting it through tv in each room.
Teachers crying.

Would just like to say that when you're 5 you obviously don't think the same and have a total different view point on everything.
But also, I was in school at the time it happened, but that's basically all I can remember. They never played it on the TVs or anything either, but I remember very little from it.

Tbh, I just remember seeing on TV two towers collapsing. I didn't really care 'cause at the time I knew nothing about other countries. I feel so bad. May all the victims R.I.P.

[Don]

I didn't hear about it until about a year after it happened because it wasn't on our TV programs.
Except maybe for the evening news, but I didn't stay up that long back then.

[Alphaggot]

My relative worked in building 1. He was one of the lucky ones and managed to escape.

[Bovicide]

I was in 3rd grade, getting ready for school at like five in the morning. I was like "Mom! some building in New York got hit by a plane." She was like "wtf no way". But it was, and it was sad.

[cogsandspigots]

I was not a school that day and my parents told me to come watch this. (the live broadcast) I guess payback finally happened.

[Supertoaster]

I was too young to remember, unfortunately.

I really didn't know about it at all until 2003-2004 then I understood what happened.

[Devie]

I feel really old and I feel bad for being old

But then again someone thought I was 17 the other day.

Then I felt good again.
