I was in fifth grade in Queens NY that day. I remember teachers screaming and crying. The day was over and we were told to read. Parents taking kids out one by one with names being called over the speakers. I was excited when mines was called till I say my mother covered in Tower dust crying. 

This country was never the same after

I was in fifth grade in Queens NY that day. My teacher brought us into the auditorium and played star wars to distract us. We didnt hear the news til our parents came to get us

I wish someone had distracted me. I was 15 and alone with my grandmother who didn't pay attention at all. I cried for hours alone.

Odd choice considering that movie ends with a group of terrorists blowing up a government building.
