I was in 7th grade. My mother picked me up from school. I had no idea what was happening til I got home. My aunt worked in the west tower but I didn't realize she had quit a year before and I was freaking out until my mother calmed me down.
I went outside. I could see the smoke from my house. I live about 20 miles from the city but I also live on the mountain and can see the skyline just on the horizon. The black smoke was pretty clear.
I had a few classmates lose family members. It wasn't fun. This is why I don't find 9/11 jokes funny.
