I was in 7th grade and can remember leaving the cafeteria and going to class and all the teachers talking about what was going on. Then watching the news on TV the rest of the day. Even after school and going home I can remember sitting there watching it all night on TV because it was on every single channel
Mr. Amachers 8th grade social studies class
. Two girls got into a fight right before sending to principals. The tvs in the corner of the rooms changed and showed the crashes it was pretty insane.

i was in 7th grade and remember walking in my first class and the teacher sat the whole class down and turned on the tv. i was speechless the rest of the day, teacher said school might be on locked down for the rest of the day, but it never happened.
Wow some of y'all are young and a few are old... Lol! I had just started my first year of college, Ivy Tech automotive campus East Washington Street Indianapolis Indiana. Was a terrified small town boy thinking what if the next attack is here

I was in high school. We rarely watched TV at home, so I heard about it when I showed up for school. Watched the 2nd plane hit on live TV in one of the classrooms (I forget which class).
I still remember first hearing about the Patriot Act, and thinking it was basically what the terrorists would have wanted. Our own government taking away our freedom, the very thing they despised. I sounded a bit jaded back then (especially for a teenager) saying the Patriot Act would do more damage than the planes did, but I think I was (unfortunately) right.
I visited New York last month. Didn't get to go to ground zero, but out there, everyone knows someone who was directly affected by the attacks. Such a shame; I still pray for the families now and again.

8th grade, and stuck sitting in the gym waiting as they would come in and call kids out to go home. Didn't connect the dots till I got home and from what little news/TV we had pretty rough day. For awhile my dad was gonna go up with the local crew but for some reason they decided not to, that was rough waiting for him to cancel that choice.
Visited the site last year and had to the unfinished site a few times before, still hits me hard. Lot of friends and local people had stories of how they should have been there but life slowed em down and they missed a bus/ferry etc.

I was in 8th grade English class watching it on the TV when I first heard about it and I remember every class room I walked into that day a TV on covering it and the silence form everyone. It's one of them thing I hope our country will never have to experience again.
Holy smokes, you kids are making me feel old! 
I was at work and wandered into one of my coworkers office for something and saw the video feeds (he was the A/V tech for the school we worked at).
The next morning I was in Manhattan helping the RC with communications, and I was back in again a few days later helping again. The pier were they set up to receive the missing persons reports was something else...
It's hard to believe it's been 14 years. I can still remember the smells in lower Manhattan. I would say it was quite different from any other fire I've smelled.
In all, I did two tours in Manhattan after 9/11. If memory serves, the first was 36 hours and the second 24.
