I'm Dutch, so I just got home from school on a nice summery day, ready to share stories from my second week at middle school as a 13 year old.

Came in cheerful and blabbering to hear my parents just say "sit down and be quiet", just as the news reported tower #2 being hit.

Even in Europe, we all felt the world was about to change.

Same here: Dutch. Second week. 13 years old. Second tower.
I watched CNN. Crazy.

Overal op de wereld. Dat was oprecht een heftige schok voor de wereld, ookal was het voor de Amerikanen.
