Please if you would just take a moment of silence today (even you foreigners ) to remember those who died on this tragic event as my old neighbor from New Jersey died in 9-11 And please don't go blaming the entire Muslim community for an action a small sect of radicals did. I am sick of tired of it, yes I understand this was a very tragic event but again don't go blaming an entire religion for what a small sect of radicals did. Thank You

I remember watching this on the news the day after. Mum turned off the tv before I could see too much, so I didn't fully understand what had happened.
I remember being very upset when I did.

I was sitting there watching CNN (6 at the time) and just going "what's happening"?
Still, bad day. Specs, I don't blame Muslims or Islamics for doing this, I blame al Qaeda and possibly the Taliban to a lesser extent.
On another note, NationStates General (on NS, the forum for discussing news) is probably chock full of 9/11 threads, or they got the megathread for it up already.
Either way, this is a day that will live in infamy forever. And when the Freedom Tower gets built... it will be, quite literally, a monument to al Qaeda's sins.

Same reaction I think most of us were too young to understand what was going on at the time and saw what happened on the news. I remember coming home from school (2nd Grade Ftw) and I think parents at my bus stop were probally talking about what happened but again my memory is not Super but they probally were. So I walked with my Mom and Sister home from the bus stop like normal probally and when I got home CNN was on talking about what happened. I remembering just watching it and learning about all the happened The Planes into the towers, Pentagon getting hit by a plane, and then that plane in a field in PA. I was too young and innocent to really cry about this as it was over my head what had just happened. To think that The Taliban and Al Qaeda were once our allies (Russian Invasion of Afganistan ring any bells?) and now they are our enemies. So anyone care to share what they remember happening back on this day in the year 2001? I understand we all were young and innocent and had no idea what really happened but still share .

I'm fairly sure I was in kindergarten at the time. I was only 5, after all... I never watched any of the news back then (as opposed to now, when I'm a media hog), and the entire event was never really explained to me until I was about 8 years old, and even then I was too dense to really grasp it. It was really only when I turned 11 that I really grasped the enormity and the horror of what happened... and now, I see it for the horrible tragedy that it is.
That and the fact the the plane that hit the Pentagon destroyed the entire wing where my dad's office is.
