I was in a run down trailer classroom, in the fourth grade, at my old elementary school

I remember all of the parents coming to pick their children up

[ImGettingOld]

I was in reading class sellin crack to the junkies

 

[Co_Town_Michael]

I was 7 at the time, and was watching it on tv w/ my mom before leaving to school because I was already running late.

Plane hit the tower on live tv and I asked my moms "What just happened?"

That was just crazy to me, thinking back on it now.

 

[kzzl]

I remember I stayed home from school that day, for a totally unrelated reason. I woke up to Good Morning America..... or maybe CNN showing it. Washed up came back in time to see the footage of the buildings crumbling. The smoke, debris, and destruction was beautiful to watch. You can't animate shit like that. Fucked up shit though, but I went on about my day after 15 minutes of watching it. It happens all the time and nobody I knew was involved. All I could think was "tough break nigga".

 

[JusDre313]
