How old were you 20 years ago?

[Greninjaman]

20 years ago, the World Trade Center was destryed by hijacked planes. My question is this: How old were you when it happened? I was 9 then.

I think I was in school myself when it happened.

[Enzo]

I was but a concept in my parent's heads, I think.

I was born on July 2002, so...

 

[Juliko]

I was eight, and I barely remember much about the actual day in question.

 

[zoroarctic]

I was 11. I remember hearing about it on the playground at school and not really understanding what was going on. I didn't see the video of the planes hitting the towers until I got home.

 

[Fairy Type Arceus]

I was 4. I don't remember a thing about it, I don't even remember it being mentioned in any if my early school years before maybe 4th or 5th grade

 

[Maniacal Engineer]

10.

I remember not fully understanding the situation, but I do remember everything that happened.

What was really creepy was that the skies were silent for several days afterward. I live close to a large airport, so no planes in the sky was just weird.
Then, when the first plane returned to the skies, it was deafening.

I was in Year 10 at high school here in Australia on September 11 (I was 16 years old in case you are wondering). I was in bed when it happened (it occurred late night here so I only found out on the morning of September 12).

14. In my first yr of high school.

 

[Antiyonder]

19 years old and a few months finished with High School. So anyone else who is ancient or older feel free to dethrone me:-D.

 

[Neyo]

I have no age. I am an all knowing, timeless god who found Pokémon and discovered that it was really fun. So now I’m here.

 

[Neo Blaze]

I was 7. I don't remember the exact moment it happened or if I was told about it, but I was probably in school. I do have vague recollections of my class gathering and talking about what happened the next day. Or maybe it was the day itself, I'm not sure. I'm not even American (I'm from Europe) but it was just one of those things that sent a shockwave across the world and had an impact on everyone in one way or another.

 

[Insanish Danish]

I was nine years old.

 

[WyndonCalling]

Eight. I vaguely remember seeing the images on the news, and remember discussion in the secondary school playground about whose parents might have been in London on the day of the 7/7 bombings.

I remember the Westminster Bridge van attack because I was there for it lol

 

[EternalPokéFanGirl]

I was 5 years old, I'm not American, I was also a preschool child who didn't pay much attention to the news, so I didn't really knew about the tragedy until a couple of years later or so. But my older relatives do remember the shock it caused worldwide, local news reported about the tragedy for days. It's an event that reminded the whole world how evil humanity can be, countless lives were lost and sadly there's no turning back. We can only hope that something similar never happens again.
