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.
My reaction was laughing. But not because of the people dying but because I genuinely thought it was a movie with the most amazing 2001 era CGI. I remember laughing and my parents yelling at me and taking me to another room to talk about why this isn't something to laugh at and that this isn't a movie.
