(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); On September 11, 2001, 19 militants associated with the Islamic extremist group al-Qaeda hijacked four airliners and carried out suicide attacks against targets in the United States. Two of the planes were flown into the towers of the World Trade Center in New York City, a third plane hit the Pentagon just outside Washington, D.C., and the fourth plane crashed in a field in Pennsylvania. Often referred to as 9/11, the attacks resulted in extensive death and destruction, triggering major U.S. initiatives to combat terrorism and defining the presidency of George W. Bush. Over 3,000 people were killed during the attacks in New York City and Washington, D.C., including more than 400 police officers and firefighters.

Where were you on this tragic day? I was in preschool but I was at home. I remember watching it on tv but I did not have much clue what was happening.

Kindergarten, probably nap time or something like that. Those were the days!:happycry:

ya same here 1st grade when it happened.

I was in flight 93 :carling: but on topic I was sitting in class then I heard the intercom telling us to turn the news on in our class. That was a sad day I will never forget.

I did not make this a thread to laugh about. This is not topic to make jokes on..

I believe I was walking to my first school. I didn't watch it unfold on television. I barely knew what was going on.

I was home, it was my brothers 2nd birthday :/

I was in london where I live

My dad saw it, but I was at home.

I was only one when this happened so I would have no idea what was going on at the time, can't remember. All I know is that this day is one that will never be forgotten.
