What you remember from 9/11?

I knew there was something odd that morning because my parents had the television turned on. The TV was never on when I ate breakfast before school (2nd/3rd grade I think). Their parents called mine to inform us something was happening. The channel was on CNN or something and I remember seeing the thick smoke rise from the towers. My sister and I had to go to school, and I wondered if this was something big. Later around 10 AM-ish, the PA guy notified us what happened when my class was on its way to art. My dad later picked us up, and he was visibly shaken and told us to be safe. Even though I really didn't understand, I kept my eyes glued to the news for the rest of the night.

This is something I will never really forget.
