I remember being really scared next time we flew by all the police with guns. (I'm in the UK so had never seen that before!) Thanks so much for sharing at #FridayFrivolity.

I live in the UK, so watched the events with horror from afar. My son was nine, and I remember all his questions and my fears for his future. We have so many friends in NYC and surrounding areas, it was a very scary time. I'm very grateful they were all okay. About a year later, my family visited the site of the World Trade Centre - it was my first visit to New York City. It really did affect us all. Thank you for sharing this moving post with us at the Hearth and Soul Hop.

In the car we chatted, the radio wasn't on. I dropped him at school and my cell phone rang, it was my sister calling. I answered and she was crying. I had no idea what was going on. I had to pull over. I rushed home and turned on the television, watching in shock and horror. <br /><br />One of my friends was on a flight to New York. For hours they flew around the city and witnessed many terrible things that happened that day. <br /><br />This event did bring America together, but it is so sad that it took something of this magnitude to unite us again. I imagine that this is what the US felt when Pearl Harbor was bombed. I hope that we remember. That we unite and stand together, this is something that we should never forget.

You handled it beautifully. I think no matter our ages, we were all young and naive on that day. It is a mind crushing day.

We may have all been in different places, but we became one on September 11th...and you're right. 15 years later, the gravity of it all doesn't wane.

Only a few minutes later, I learned the truth of what happened and became fearful, confused, and upset. Later that evening, as I traveled home, I just remember being so shocked and confused, unsure of what anything meant, the state of the world, and all the people who were there.

I was so scared...I watched the second plane hit on live TV and was just in absolute shock! I live in PA...and when I heard about the plane that came down in our state I was terribly frightened ~ I thought they were crashing them everywhere! It was a scary time...truly. I remember just shaking for most of the day. Sometimes I will watch the videos on youtube...just because I never want to forget the gravity of that day....it's so easy to just continue on with life...but that tragic day happened and none of us should ever forget.

Just as I have memories of that terrible day and the 3 days afterwards where we were all glued to the TV to see the alleged assassin murdered on live TV and then the funeral I'm sure you'll remember 9/11/2001. I will also remember 9/11 but when something this momentous happens when you're a teen I think it stays with you always.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15065964920959832262noreply@blogger.com
