I was in college and it happened on one of the days I had no morning classes so I naturally wanted to sleep in.
My roommate walked into my room, told me something major happened with terrorist and bombings, I figured they just bombed a random building so I told him to go to Hell and leave me a lone. A few hours later I get to class and notice everyone in the student center crowded so I finally found out.
Kind of on topic, but I think people make too big of a deal out of 9/11. Yes, it was a tragedy and an all around horrible thing, but some people just need to move on. I'm not talking about the people that had family that died that day (though they should move on too), mainly the people that complain the WTC should no longer be in movies and whatnot that take place before 9/11 and just wanted the buildings to be forgot almost. Forgot is probably the wrong word, but it's still kind of an insult I think.
Now for those people who are still sensitive, just don't read the following: I have a friend who couldn't but help of thinking this song when he saw the people jumping out the window. Yeah, he had a few people angry with him.
