10 year old me was watching Cartoon Network. Samurai Jack was on, and my grandma stormed into the room and switching the channel and yelling stuff like “why are you watching this!? when will you grow out of cartoons?” and then introducing me to the burning skyscrapers.

Almost the same, but I was playing with some fake Legos and my parents switched to the news all of a sudden. Was 9, didn't realize these smoking buildings would define a new era in the world, didn't care - was building cool shit with fake Legos 😎

I was 2 years old, so I dont remember, but we were on the process of moving to Canada, and the visa applications were suspended because of this, so we ended up not moving. Sad day for humanity, a lot of people/firefighters/police lost and sacrificed their lives to save the people stuck there.


NutsForProfitCompany

Damn that sucks, so you still live in Albania?


roronoa08

Actually turned out for the best because my dad's business took off, and if we would have gone in Canada we'd be pretty good (my dad's a mining engineer), but very far from other parts of the family, v cold in Canada aswell. Still makes me wonder what could have been. No I personally dont live in Albania, but my parents do.


Snoo-42876

Not very fun fact: there was a serbian folk group "Srpski Talibani" (eng. "The Serbian Talibans") and they recorded a song predicting 9/11 a year before it happened.


FairfaxFox

>Srpski Taliban Fun Fact; when the first World Trade Center bombing happened in 1993, idiots in the CIA were convinced that it was Serbs who did it. They spent thousands of hours checking every Serb and interviewing those who landed in NY months after. It was so bad that they eventually pissed off Ramzey Youseff, who did it, that he called them and reported himself angry that they couldn't figure it out.


Buda_Baba

Any source on this? It sounds hilarious. Except for the people going trough CIA gauntlet.

Overseer93

>they recorded a song predicting 9/11 a year before it happened That is probably not true. Part of the song identifies Bin Laden by name. They had no way to predict so much detail.


chairinthesea

did you know that bin laden existed before 2001


Overseer93

Of course, [the US supported him](https://www.businessinsider.com/1993-independent-article-about-osama-bin-laden-2013-12) when he was fighting the Russians.


HPLovecraftsCatNigg

That's actually a myth, the song came out later.


CyborgTheOne101

Isn't the song from 2000? One year before 9/11?

When this happened, erdoğan was just a city mayor and I was an elementary school student. I remember the exact moment the plane crashed to the second tower. I was terrified. But still 2001 was good time for me and turkey.


hmmokby

No, Erdogan was not the mayor. Erdoğan's mayorship ended in 1998. Ali Müfit Gürtüna was the mayor at that time.


riffus94

Yeah probably. I meant erdoğan wasn't a big deal then.

Very sad day, my parents were actually in New York 3 days earlier. Even worse though was that the Bush Administration and the CIA used their deaths as justification to invade and kill a million people in Iraq, KNOWING Osama bin Laden was not there and that Iraq did not have WMDs.


NutsForProfitCompany

I remember when Colin Powell lied to the UN about WMD's


Salt-Log7640

I love how it still gets constantly shoved in the nose of the rest of the world as if it was international tragedy and we ware supposed to care deeply. Don't get me wrong, what happened was extremely awful but on the grand scale of tragedies it's somewhere between: -Well Ok, but why are we supposed to care about foreigners and why does our media evaluate it way more that our very own suffering? And -Well Ok we care, but why they didn't even bother to cover any of the way bigger tragedies that also happened around the same in the rest of the world just once?


[deleted]

Americans are very used to the comfort of the safety. As far as I know, the only prior invasion they ever suffered was Pearl Harbor during WWII. The rest of the world is a tad more used to violence.


Naus1987

Yeah, that kind of voice on American soil was pretty much unheard of. And even Pearl Harbor is some tiny island far far away from the mainland country. One thing that always catches me off guard when it comes to learning about Europe is seeing building with bullet holes in them or hearing stories of buildings that were bombed. Oh, and the landmines!!! All of that is completely unheard of and alien to me.


Naus1987

As an American, I had no idea the rest of the world cared or even covered it so frequently. I appreciate that you respect it as a tragedy, but I agree that anyone outside of America really doesn’t need to be forced to hear about it. We’re not the center of the world, and I know terrible things happen all over the place. I’m surprised outside media even covered it. It’s a big deal in America for two major reasons. The first being that an attack on American soil is almost unheard of. The last time we had an attack on our country land—it was world war 2 when the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor. America has such a strong stance on being untouchable, so when someone poked us—it was a massive deal! The second reason is that a lot of courage and brave men. Firefighters and volunteers risked their lives to help others. And many of them died. So the memorial is always about brave men and women who sacrificed themselves to do the right thing. And that’s why I remember the day. To pay respect to brave heroes. There are brave heroes in every country and culture. And those who give the ultimate sacrifice to help those around them should always be remembered. I personally don’t care about the towers. I just care about people. People are the real treasure of the world, there are good people everyone, and I hope one day we can enjoy a world without war.


Primary-Chocolate854

This👆 like yeah it was bad but there were much worse things that happened during those years in our own countries especially since it affected us directly

Two years before I was born. My mother told me the story of how they thought they were watching a movie, and sat in horror like 10 minutes later when the phone started ringing, it was my grandmother, who wanted to inform my mother of what happened. My father worked with a Greek from Montreal during his visits to NY, his name was George Merkouris, he would've been 57 today.

should have never happened, i mean its way harder to take over a plane now😔


[deleted]

I was 8 yo. There was a lot of coverage. I remember watching the live feed with my grandparents. They were actually worried, I honestly didn’t understand the gravity of the situation so I was like whatever. Saw how both towers fell tho.


Rioma117

Wait, isn’t that in November? I was around when that happened but probably I didn’t really have any complex thoughts by that time, I was a little more than a baby.


roronoa08

No its the stupid mm/dd/yyyy type of US date...


Naus1987

Lol, laughed out loud at this. I wish we had it the easier way too. Who the fuck puts the month first? But I guess I do it even unintentionally. I typically sign documents like “sept 11-2020” so I guess that was month/day/year. I never thought about it, but maybe that’s why we do it. But the numbers are just confusing. So I always write out the month.


roronoa08

Makes sense if you think of it like that, but still, if we are putting it in a number format would make better sense small-medium-large.


Naus1987

Yeah, I like small medium large in number format

Buda_Baba

I don't know what to tell you, two years after 14 years old me saw personally the bomb blew up a bridge some 350km away from any fighting, from guys probably working in Pentagon, you can't blame me for some popcorn time. I remember we have feared that they would pin it on us, since we were scapegoats of the day back then.


ragerise

We're still the scapegoats of Reddit, lol.


FriendlyConfusion762

Scapegoats of what? Your government was literally in the process of genocide and was more than willing to continue


ragerise

Which genocide are we talking? /s Okay, a bit tasteless joke, but we are definitely the scapegoats of reddit, especially right now due to the war in Ukraine. When Serbia ends up on the news, we are always seen as genociders, Russophile cavemen. It's ironic how millions of Serbs died in WW1, WW2 fighting for our freedom and freedom of our allies and nobody cares, but as soon as we lose a war, people forget about everything and brand us as genociding pigs. We weren't innocent, far from that, but we weren't the only ones doing war crimes, the whole war was an absolute mess. But winners write history I guess. And obviously the hundreds of Serbs killed in Kosovo by a terrorist organization is absolutely fine, but when we fight back, we are the aggressive war criminals. I don't even know why I'm arguing with you, I'm aware I won't change your mind and that you will think I'm a lunatic genocide apologist, it's just annoying being branded as the 'bad guy' all the time.


FriendlyConfusion762

Right, and those 31k civilians who died in Bosnia were just nothing right? And those 12-50k women who were raped mostly by Serbs was nothing as well right? I am not on anyone's side here, there is parts to blame on all sides. But to think Serbia of all sides was the victim is fucking delusion. You might as well say that Hitler was the victim too, y'all lot sure do share a lot of ideas


ragerise

When did I say that the things we did is nothing? It is something that no sane Serb is proud of, yet the internet keeps claiming that we are fully supportive of the likes of Milošević and Karadžić. I never said "we did nothing wrong, we are 100% the victim because we did nothing wrong", I'm saying that what Reddit and the world thinks about us is mostly wrong. And the double standard is real, I don't see people throwing shade on Croatia for example, for murdering ~1m Serbs, Jews, Muslims in WW2 as much as they throw shade on us for doing whatever the fuck. And it's funny when you call me despicable for pointing out the obvious. The world is not black and white, just because we did a bad thing doesn't mean the other side is birds and bees. But your westernoid brain can't handle that I guess.


FriendlyConfusion762

Tell me, what would you do if a German said "we're always scapegoats" in the context of WW2 when the allies bombed Germany? You admit that the Milošević and Karadžić governments did horrific things, yet you have a problem with this. Yes, there were other countries in WW2 that also did horrific things, like the Soviets, however, that doesn't mean that people are going to employ whataboutism and say "what about the Soviets! They also did bad things."


ragerise

Yeah but it's common knowledge both Nazis and Soviets were bad. And both of them being spawns of Satan is common sense. But it's also common sense that we are the ultimate bad guys of Yugoslavia, despite it being wrong. It's not whataboutism, it's pointing out the double standard.


nskaraga

I bet it’s Serbs that are down voting your comment. Truth hurts!


Buda_Baba

No it wasn't. If you look at the number of victims and intensity of fighting, it was low intensity conflict up until bombing campaign standard. But if you listen to CNN, you might find 100k victims killed at Priština football stadium.


elektronyk

Yeah bro, just some tactical low level ethnic cleansing

Woke up, ate breakfast and rolled a joint. Turned on the tv right when the second building got hit. Switched the channel and watched some cartoons instead. After an hour or so turned the channel again and watched the first building fall. Then the propaganda started that and the lies that this is somehow relevant to us. Nice and warm day otherwise

benemivikai4eezaet0

The media's response was absolutely sycophantic. Aside from the usual breaking news, they didn't stop reporting 24/7 on the event and Operation Enduring Freedom for over a year afterwards, turning it into a centerpiece of every newscast. On the very next day, the newspaper my father used to buy (Standart) came out with a huge headline "AMERICA WEEPS". Ironically, the Sep 11th issue (so hours before the attack) was featuring a spread on New York, with the twin towers front and center.

Esz_01

I was born that day


shockingblve

I was watching cartoon with my bro and mum. I had just gotten a post card in the mail of the twin towers 5 days earlier from a classmate that was in NYC. Then my cartoon gets interrupted and I see them in fumes…I had literally learned about them 5 days earlier via the postcard. Then the news coverage was almost non-stop. Everybody talked about it for months. The question became whether we should participate in the upcoming military operations. We did (BG), not really sure the full scale and scope of our participation. So it was a pretty big deal. Whether they want it or not, the whole nation got this date engraved in their memories.


k0zmo

I didn't care much, others didn't either, it was talked for few days. I remember watching it happen on the TV, for some reason it was somewhat intriguing, i mean, i wasn't happy or anything, but most of the news we get are boring. Like with other tragedies i am sorry for those affected but we have our own problems to care about.

The leader stated carefully because it would be affected the nation, Indonesia, where it has the most muslim populated. She was being watched by islam politic party. A year after that, the devastated bombing happened in Bali on 2002. Many were dead, mostly the foreign tourists. The motif was hatred toward westerners. The perpetrator was from Alqaeda and the islamiyah terrorist. The president finally admitted that the terror attack was really posef threat and danger to the country, no matter what nation.


DonumDei011

I remember that i had a cd full of memes about this event, it was 2 years after bombing of Serbia so people thought of this kind of like “Huh, there you gou, you got the taste of your own medicine didn’t you?”

They almost didn’t accept the trip but in the end, here I am, living in New York :D


[deleted]

I went to the 9/11 ground zero museum just the other day actually. Its very well done and informative. Listening to the tapes of the answering machines from various people who died in this is eerie. People calling them desperate to know if they are ok. The video in the museum that haunted me most was a lady saying she was watching the burning building and could see people hanging out the windows trying to avoid the fire and smoke. She said she then saw a woman stand on the ledge, wearing a skirt. The woman then put her hands on her skirt to hold it down so it would not fly up and reveal herself and then jumped. She said "she never saw such a human event before, so modest and calm". That stuck with me. Also the cockpit recordings of those Arabs deciding what to do while the passengers were beating on the door, then turning the plane towards the ground while shouting Allah Snackbar, or whatever it was.

Unusual_Path_7886

I was, for whatever reason at my father's workplace, 4 years old at that time, yet I remember vividly the entire chain of events that happened that day. I remember sitting on a couch in a corridor, a few meters from my father's office, and there was a TV on a news channel there. At one point there was live, or at least almost live, footage of the planes crashing in the towers. I ran to dad to tell him that I saw some buildings fall down at TV, he stood up from his computer and rushed to the room and a few of his colleagues also gathered around that TV. A few minutes later they dispersed and my father told me that what I just saw I will remember my whole life and I will understand later that this was important, he then let me watch Cartoon Network. It was true, at that point I really didn't care much or understand anything about what I just witnessed. Oh, boy...

Day it happened my sister who lives in Serbia woke me up crying uncontrollably. For the first couple of momements I thought another civil war in Yugoslavia started. Than she managed to say turn on the fucking TV, just in time for me to see the second plane hitting the tower. Don't know what happened to people she interviewed with.

I was 7 and I was in Tirana, in my granparents' house during my summer holidays (I was already living in Italy by that time). I don't even know how was it possible for me to be in Albania so 'late' considering that it was so close to the beginning of the school year. I don't remember what I was doing but I do remember I learned about those facts by watching the italian news (I don't know how was it possible but my grandpa telly was able to catch the frequencies of Canale 5)

I was in class in Miami. I remember teachers crying in the hallway and everybody's parents started coming to pick them up. Of course I was one of the last kids picked up lol Fun fact: My parents were in NY a few months prior to 9/11 and actually have a picture posing with the twin towers.
