Damn this makes me feel old. I remember that on 9/11 one of my teachers broke her arm, so I would start lessons later. My Dad called me to ask to turn on the TV and check if there will be war. So I looked at WTC burning and called him back.
On next day the English teacher said to remember that day since people will be asking.
Covid and Ukraine war are "interesting" times again...
On a side note, some band has updated the "we didnt start the fire song", although in a non chronological way. https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=2LkVKCWL0U4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=2LkVKCWL0U4
- lynx23 3y agoIf your 9/11 story contains words like teacher, you don't have to feel that old. I remember being at work when the news broke...
- baz00 3y agoSame here. No TV and the site was restricted so I was mashing refresh on Slashdot because it was the only web site that was still working on the only computer that was connected to the Internet in the entire site. Had to email updates around the internal mail system from another computer.
- pcardoso 3y agoI knew about the event from slashdot. I was randomly browsing, read about it, thought “no way” and turned on the tv. There it was the live coverage from cnn, just in time to witness the second plane hitting. Felt so unreal and still does when I think about it.
