I was seven years old at the time, living in Arizona, which meant that the attacks began happening at around 5:45 AM for us. So when I was getting ready for school, my dad called me into his room to watch this movie with him. The second plane crashed into the building, and my dad was making phone calls directly thereafter, very lively about the situation. Then the first building fell and the second, and he told me that I was staying home for school that day, saying that "this means war" on the phone. I really didn't grasp the situation at the time and thought to myself "wow, my dad really liked that movie." Silly children.
