Diana: I was asleep. Fast asleep.
9/11: I was taking a shower when Vince banged on the shower door. *blushes* I remember it so vividly. He thrust his head in the shower door and calmly told me the Twin Towers had collapsed; even though I was staring at him angrily despite being naked.
*sighs* We hadn't got the news, so they had already collapsed by the time he told me.
When Diana died... No clue. I was probably sleeping. :D I didn't really care either.
9/11: I must have been in school or something. :D I just remember everyone talking about it. And me, not being a 'lets watch the news' person, had no idea what they were talking about. :D
Diana: No clue.
9/11: Asleep during the first part. My mom woke me up for work and said something like "A plane hit the World Trade Center" and I was like "What dumb ass did that?" then I watched the news as I got ready and the second one hit and of course everyone knew that it wasnt an accident. We kept up on it during work that day.
Diana: I was watching TV when it happened, the news came on and over took all the other programs. So I watched TV some more to find out what had happened etc. I can't remember what I was doing earlier in the day though.
9/11: I think I went shopping that day, I went for a walk, went on eBay and sold stuff and then I turned on the TV and it was all over the TV. Every channel it was on. It took me a few minutes to figure out what was going on and I was stuck to the TV for half the night.
Diana: ....no clue.....
9/11: I came home from school, it was a really hard day.... I wanted to ask my brother for something and met him in front of the TV. When I saw the pictures of New York I thought World War III broke out. I still remember this desperate paralysis flowing through my mind..... war....
Diana....I don't recall. But on 9/11 I was in Geometry, jr year of high school and then Mrs. Denson came in and started talking about the world ending or something, and then the bell rang and I was walking to my next class and I walked by the library and looked in and the tv was on with a bunch of people watching it as a plane slammed into a building. I was like "WTF".
i was quite angry as i woke up on that saturday ready to watch live and kicking and the next instalment of spiderman, BUT NO THEY HAD CANCELED IT because princess diana died, so i switched the tv off and went back to slept. EMPATHY
I don't remember about Princess Diana, I do remembet about 9/11 though.
I was taking a bath and I heard my father saynig "it's like a civil war". But at the moment I din't undestand.
After a while I came aout of the bathroom and then I couldn't help but know. Everybody was talking about it.
Thats really... wait hold on a minute... you were watchin Digimon? At a college age?! ^_^Quote:

9/11 - I came home from school, and my mother told me to turn on the TV, so I did (slightly confounded at the importance) and I viewed the burning tower. Shortly after, I watched the second plane strike the building, and continued to watch for about an hour or so.
Yet again, I was not personally concerned at the time, besides the initial shock, yet as I slowly came to understand the impact, I realised the lives lost, and families broken.
This is quite bad humour, but I will state it in any event:
A few days ago in Geography class, we were watching a documentary on earthqakes, when our teacher suddenly statedL "this is an important section, keep watching"
And then the video started crackling, and was disrupted for the next few minutes. xD
When the audia visual reappeared, the T.V. stated:
"Earthquakes can cause serious damage on America's economy, and an earthquake is long over-due and could strike at any time.
If this were to happen, America's Twin Towers, would be completely destroyed."
The class burst out laughing.
Diana- my mom told me she died, and i replied with "so what? people die everyday. who cares?" pretty ruthless, but i was only a little kid.
9/11- i woke up, and my mom was watching it on the T.V. she said "omg kyle, a friggin plane just flew into the twin towers!!" and i was sleepy, so i replied with something like "oh really? that sucks." (the knowledge didnt really absorb into me at that moment.) later in the day at school, they were talking about it, and i was like "wait a minute, a FRICKIN PLANE FLEW INTO THE TWIN TOWERS!?!?!" and thne everyone looked at me. not my finest moment.
OKC memorial bombing-Just in class doing work then all of a sudden booooooooom *earthquake*.
Princess Diana I really don't remember I only heard about it at school later.
9/11 I was in confirmation class when the lower grade teacher just brought his whole class into our room and flipped on the tv.
We did this in psychology. Flashbulb memory yadda yadda.
I was coming down the stairs in my PJ's when I heard some heavy conversation in the sitting room, and one of my sister's told me she died as I was walking down the stairs. Then I just kinda stopped and added it all up. At that age though, it didn't mean alot to me sadly, but I am much more aware of the scope of the incident now.
9/11 - I'd just come home from school. Funnily enough, while I was turning the key in the front door, I was staring in through my sitting room window and thought my mum was watching some kind of action film or something. When I found out what it really was, I was wishing she had been. :(
i think i saw that video too, thats quite amazing considering the difference in latitudes :choc:Quote:

9/11: It happened while I was at school (as I live in the UK), and when we got out of school I found out as I got in my car to go home and it was on the radio. I watched and found out about it all on TV all night too.
