young people need to know that 9/11 was an inside job
We had cellphones???? Nokia flip
I remember the “🎵we gotta stop the mosque at ground zero, thumbing their nose at all the big trucking heroes” song more than anything.
Sadly the mosque was not stopped and now in and around the WTC site there is a huge “Islamic cultural center” where our western values are routinely mocked and laughed at.
“What kind of sad culture allows the conquerer to build a giant symbol of the very civilization that seeks to plunder and grape them right in the middle of their once great city?” They say. lol.
When reagan got shot that was a real shock we watched the news for a week in social studies class 7th grade had to do a written report on it at end of the week on paper grammar punctuation
As an American student, I get very tired of hearing this speech every year. I was so traumatized when my second grade teacher showed my class a video of hundreds of people jumping out of a burning/collapsing building to their death. I have been hearing about this since I was 8 years old. What if, when todays middle aged adults (Gen-X) were 8 years old, they were shown raw videos of the Auschuitz concentration camp during WW2? I personally don't think we should have to hear about and see this in school every year, especially from such a young age. Even though "It was a big part of American history" or "They need to know what we went through" doesn't mean that we should be showing these videos of mass death to children of such a young age.
I was in high school on the west coast. My dad woke me up, and my dad never woke me up. He was always at work before I woke up. He worked at a local military base as a civilian (although he served in Vietnam). They closed the bases down, so he came home and drove me to high-school. It was the only day I can remember him driving me to school. We sat in the morning class and watched a TV on a rolling cart and nobody really talked. Everyone was quiet, and just watched the news.
Of course there were cellphones. Our education is so misdirected, it will take a hundred years for the truth to come out with the way we have processed this global event.
It happened in 2001, not 1901 🙄 of course there were phones. Phones don’t need to be extremely advanced to make calls
A lot of people had cell phones at that time.
we didnt have SMART phones that were little tablet computers….we had cell phones though.
i had one and my mom called me and i left school 2 min after. (i was in 1st grade)
What do you mean nobody had a cellphone??? They became popular in the 90’s
They have cell phones
America: “No one attacks us and gets away with it!”
Also America: “But we did train the pilots tho…”
NEVER FORGET.
She's right. Students in 2001 did not have cell phones and didn't have the luxury of calling their parents from school.
People had cell phones in 2001 🙈
My mom sent us all to school.
I guess different people had different experiences in school with kids having cell phones back then. I lived in New Jersey and was a senior in a private Catholic high school at the time, where a large majority of students came from affluent neighborhoods. Only a hand full of kids in the whole school had flip phones back then, along with only a few teachers. We still had pay phones on the wall near the gym entrance back then. But i remember the one kid in my class that had a cell and 2 of the teachers that had cells couldn't get a call out that whole day. No early dismissal from school either despite the fact that many teachers and students had family that lived or worked in the city when it happened. And our high school only showed us the initial plane crash footage early in the morning before classes started. By the time i got home from school in the afternoon that day, the towers had already collapsed and i was so pissed at our school for robbing students of what was going on at the time. I went to a lookout point near where i lived later that afternoon and could see the smoke billowing from the far distance and i lived like 40 minutes away in central NJ. Crazy you could see the smoke in the sky that far away from the city that day.
When I was in 4th grade my teacher told everyone in the classroom about 911 incident right and then I got traumatize and had nightmares for like the next six weeks 😭😭😭
She’s missing the mark by making it sound like it happened a long time ago w/ no phones like bruh
It happened on my mate's 1st birthday….💀
