i was doing my homework as my mother came in and told me to see what happend....they showed it on nearly every Tv channel... i stayed the whole day in front of the TV
i don't remember what i was doing, just where i was. i was at sixth grade camp for a week, and they didn't tell us it happened. i found out from my brother as i was walking in my front door.
I was in the army at a range. cease-fire-froze the range and spent the whole day there standing by till the evening when they finally let us go back. we were on alert for a few days afterwards setting up TAC boxes and what not. Im glad I lived in the barracks or I wouldnt have been able to go home.
I was in school listening to some retard read a book about goats !

Watched them fall from West 36 street.
They never came back even though its pretty obvious they know just how to hit us.
Seems like He blew the shit out of the right people.

I was shocked, but then we, in the UK, got pretty used to getting blown up (by the IRA), so I wasn't all that shocked. Less shocked, in fact, than on 9/11.Poseidon wrote:

I apologise for bumping this month old topic but I would like to say how I felt on 7/7Poseidon wrote:

I was in Year 7, it was a Thursday, and we found out during Technology class via the radio. None of us did any work, and I remember one of the kids in my class running out of school to go back home as he realised that his mother was on a train that day (she wasn't involved thank God). We didn't actually know if it was a bomb or an aeroplane dropping a bomb, which, remembering now, seemed a bit silly because we didn't hear anything.
Some kids started making up stories, saying that the 2012 celebrations jets that flew right over our playground were "looking for targets"
I went home that lunchtime and ran home. I rang up my Mum/Dad and they were ok - I still didn't know where abouts the bombs had been exploded, so I was extremely worried.
The bombings were only 10-20 miles away from where I live, so it was quite worrying at the time
