Wow lotta top comments from then-fifth-graders. I'll join the chorus with my contemporaries. My fifth grade teacher got called to an emergency meeting and then came back and told us what happened and turned on the news and we all just stared. We didn't have any more lessons that day. My mom cried and she's not a crier.
I wish I could have been an adult in a pre-9/11 world. I know it changed a lot of things but I'm not able to appreciate how as well as some others.
