no not me

I remember the Day too, I mean all they showed on TV was NEWS...no cartoons for like 2 weeks....But I can't remember if it was different before then, were their less cops, Idk

I was in 4th grade too, I didn't know what was happening. at the time...

and yes it did after I heard about it..

Yeah, it changed everyone's life.  It made a venture like the Iraq War possible, and now with that money sink (3 trillion last I heard) on top of a faltering, gas-powered economy with sparse mass transit infrastructure, its never been so hard to be an American.

I was in my frist semester of University. I was majoring in Political Science. That Tuesday, I only had a class at 12:30. My tv was programmed to wake me up with the channel set to cnn at 9:00. So the first thing that is being shown as I wake up is what appears to be just a regular plain crash into a building, then as I am trying to get caught up with the happenings 3 minutes later a second plane hits. At first you think it was a replay, but it wasn't. One of the reporters says that there must be a some sort of Auto-pilot beacon malfunctionning and sending planes into the towers, as if the pilots would just blindly sit back and let that happen.

Anyways, the class I had to attend was about religion and politics. Boy, did the curriculum to that and every other of my Political science classes change.

Did my life change after 9/11? Not physically, no. In fact it had no direct effects on me except for the incovenience of added security and hightened paranoia towards our fellow men. When the paranoia wore off, what was left was an openness to the world and a fraternity with all living things somehow that did not exist before.

the world changed after 9/11 or 11/09 as i call it, but my life remained as boring and crappy as ever (i was at secondary school at the time)

Oh, shit, that last part was dEEP.

Yeah, I'm an International Politics major.  Every class was about China before 9/11, then it was 50% Middle Eastern.  After the Iraq War started it went to 90/10.

I can no longer have a sword in my carry on luggage.  (last time I went to mexico (1999) on the return trip I carried a sword on a plane fully sanctioned by airport security)

Previously the only condition was that I wrap it in cardboard and a plastic bag.  Now they won't even let you bring one on the plane.

Yes it did. I was in the 6th grade, and didnt realize what happened until I got home.

It changed my life because my dad is in the Air Force, and has been deployed several times since then. A couple of really long ones, I think 9 months or so.
