I was a 9 year old kid, at home since my mom homeschooled all of us.
I remember her turning on the tv after getting a phone call. She turns it on with enough time to see the second tower hit. She’s collapsing to the floor bawling and as a nine year old I don’t understand her reaction. All I can truly remember is her on the floor crying really hard. I now think it’s because she was scared for all of us kids :(
I was in 5th grade (so maybe 11?) And the teachers at school decided not to say anything to us, we just saw them leave the classroom a lot and whisper. They didn't want to stress the kids out in case any of us had relatives in new York or something. I come home like normal and my mom is sitting in front of the TV very stressed out. I said something off hand, normal to her and she just started screaming "how do you not know what happened today?!" And just put me on the couch next to her to watch the news. I feel like she could have handled that better lol
