I was on a promotion course in Bramcote. We were in a discussion group about world events, when someone from another syndicate came in and told us what happened. We just cancelled the discussion and went out to watch the news report. Missed dinner that night, as we all just sat watching the live news reports for about 4 hours. Pretty sureal moment. We then asked the AEC instructors if we could use the next day's discussion groups to go over the events, and the useless fucks said they had to stick to the programme! Arseholes....

What a day that was though. I just remember us chatting about what would happen, and I think we all agreed that the Americans would do something pretty radical as they don't like anyone shitting on their doorstep (well, foreigners anyway).

I'd just finished watching Neighbours when the news report came on. After then I watched the TV for about 12 hours non stop.

The next day I remember going to the shops and seeing the front of one of the papers with the burning towers and just the word WAR on the front page. Scary times.

I didn't understand. I didn't really know much about it. I was only 7.

Work. Colleague's husband was at home and kept ringing her with updates.

When he said the Twin Towers had collapsed we both looked at each other and said "EH? Is he on drugs??"

Little did we know.

When I got home from work and put the TV on I couldn't believe what I was seeing.

I have a more selective memory of the London bombings. I think I was in year 3 at the time and was actually on my way home to my mates house, 'for tea and a play' after school and we came out and his Dad stood there blankly, his face white as a ghost and then he told us.

As you say I still didn't really understand what was happening but just by parents and his reactions alone, I was emotional myself.
