My school made us go to the library and watch the news during 9/11. We were still elementary school.
Edit: The teacher and librarian didn’t even change the channel or turn off the tv when people started jumping. It is crazy the amount schools all over the country allowed small kids to watch this horrific event. I remember one kid said it was funny that people were jumping when we were discussing it the next day with the teacher. Everyone thought that his reaction was weird.
I am only a few years younger than you and absolutely feel every word of your post as a rhyme to my own story. My regular response to people these days is a twist on the old curse "May you live in interesting times".
Well, just for once, just for a little while, I want to live in boring times. Like, "what did happen during that time period?" boring.
