I was in Berlin, counting old Deutsche Mark coins to exchange into the new EURO's. Unusually, I was listening to the radio, when I heard the news about the first airplane. I switched on the TV and watched the second airplane hitting the other tower live (?). I then took the bus to a friend of mine, from where I continued watching, catching the collapse of the towers.

Everybody knows
It is a trauma
Posted using Partiko Android
It's quite amazing that pretty much everyone still knows exactly where they were and with whom when this all went down. I had just moved back to Holland from the US two months earlier. I had no phone, so I was actually in a phone booth, on a call with my (now) ex-husband in the states when he suddenly said that a plane had flown into the first tower...At the moment I thought it must have been an accident, until he said: And another... Now, I've always found it quite curious that I was talking to him right that moment. An American. And that I wasn't at work, or at home, or driving the car. Either way, it's one of those things I'll always remember.
it was traumatic for the whole western civilization. I was at a Bowling Park in Germany.
But Kids dont know. I think it starts for people been born after 2000.
True, kids that were too young to even realize anything happened at that time, it's something they only heard of. But anyone who was old enough remembers...I'm pretty sure that was the whole point of the event. Create hate and diversity...they sure managed that.
