I noticed this topic was never brought up last 9/11. I guess I'll do it. For those born before 9/11, where were you on that day? Me, I was a 3 year old in Honolulu when it all happened, it was night time and my mom got a call from a friend telling her what was going on. Afterwards all travel to and from Hawaii was halted, we couldn't even get food from the mainland for a bit. My first exposure to the attacks was two years later when I stumbled upon the Times Magazine issue talking about it. When I first skimmed through it, I assumed a city got destroyed or something. Like out of a monster movie.
Fun fact: I had no idea the Twin Towers were destroyed. I assumed they got hit and were repaired after the attacks. I wasn't until I went on Google Earth and found where the towers were originally, and I was like "Wait, they don't exist anymore?"
