I was entering the teachers room right after a class and my work mates all started speaking at the same time, trying to explain to me what had just happened. Remember seeing Bush and The British prime minister Tony Blair addressing the situation after the attack.
A guy who worked in the office adjacent to the one I worked in was listening to it on the news. When he came in talking about a plane hitting the WTC I didn't think it was real. I thought he was just playing Flight Simulator again.
Does anyone still remember when the Berlin Wall fell?
Need I go on? We haven't forgotten history. Why is September 11th the only major event that gets questioned in this way? For many that ask questions like the one you did, it is with a desire to cause fear. With that fear, they then push a political agenda. I don't know you, and I'm not accusing you of these motives. I would be curious why you asked the question.
@RosaMarie Just popped into my head this morning. Today is June 7. Maybe I was thinking of FDR, "Yesterday December 7, 1941, a date which will live in infamy . . . "
@iamelijah I was six when the Challenger blew up on take off. We were watching it live in our classroom. I certainly clearly remember that. I understand how you would remember such an important event.
I remember it all to well, I was in Florida on a Military training course and we were told to prepare for immediate deployment to NYC when 9/11 happened, we never ended up going but we were on alert for a couple of weeks and then deployed to Afghanistan in late January.

I don't think anyone can really forget it. It changed the way the whole world operated.
I remember. It was around 8:00 in the morning Pacific time, and I was still in bed. My buddy Brian called me and told me to turn on the TV. I asked him which channel, and he said it didn't matter.
