Someone already took my favorite moment involving a side of beef, so story time: A day or two after 9/11, my then-seven-year-old brother's class was drawing tribute pictures. Being a child and therefore not knowing what the fuck was going on except it was art time, he drew stick figures of people on top of the twin towers jumping into the air going "WHEEEEEE" and they were having a baseball game (because he had been watching the World Series with Dad). He didn't know why his teacher was mad at him for it.

Also the day fucked up my childhood friend, so yeah. Fun times.

Klonoa: Empire of Dreams came out in the US on September 11th, 2001.

Klonoa did 9/11 guys.

 

[Fuck you jewish cunt]

Remember that time Marvel made a Spiderman comic about 9/11 where Doctor Doom and Magneto mourned those who died during 9/11?

Spoiler

EDIT: what makes this even better is that not only are Kingpin and Doc Ock, who have both murdered tons of people also mourning the destruction, but the fucking Juggernaut, who at one point held the twin towers hostage, is crying.

This is just gold.

Klonoa did 9/11 guys.

So did the soundtrack to Glitter. We can't overlook Mariah Carey's involvement.

I was late to school as per usual, not because I'm cool but because my bus liked to show up whenever the fuck it felt like it.

I arrived sometime towards the end of second period and nothing eventful had happened yet. Went to third period and about fifteen minutes in, a staff member stuck their head in and asked to speak to the teacher. Teacher came back a few minutes later looking visibly upset about something, addressed the class, turned on the TV in the corner of the room and we watched the news. About 5 minutes into watching the news on CBS (I think) the second tower hit and everyone in my class just was just speechless, which is hard for 13 year olds. Some kids started to freak out because there parents worked in the WTC or other buildings on Church Street.

I probably should've mentioned that I grew up in NY.

The rest of the day was just chaotic. The school announced it was going into lock down, kids were in the hallways having mental breakdowns because they had no idea if there parents/family was okay. It was almost impossible to get a hold of someone by phone because the network was either too busy or completely fucked due to the loss of the transmission towers that were on top of the towers. Same goes with satellite TV, we had both cable and satellite dish (for movies, mostly) and I remember in the aftermath someone having to go move the satellite dish in a different direction in order to get reception again.

One of my dad's biggest accounts was Cantor Fitzgerald, luckily the meeting he had with them was on Monday, so he lucked out on that one.

When I first heard of the attack, I thought it was just an accidental crash.

I was a senior in high school and the attacks occurred while everyone else was taking standardized tests, so my class spent the morning watching movies, completely oblivious to what was going on. I went to the restroom and ran into someone who told me that a plane had hit the Pentagon. Not knowing of the events in New York, I just assumed he was talking about some nut case in a crop duster. By the time my class finally got around to learning what was happening, one of the towers had already collapsed.

 

[UnKillFill]

yeah this one called it... like 8 years early...

 

[Strine]

It wasn't a favourite but my only "moment" was being angry that the news was on when cartoons were supposed to be.

Oh, Spidey

9/11 conspiracy theorists claiming that burning jet fuel is not hot enough to melt steel beams, ignoring the fucking airplanes that exploded the buildings in half.

Remember: if you get hit in the chest with a .357 magnum, you'll be just fine because things like Velocity and blunt force trauma do not exist and the bullet isn't hot enough to melt your skeleton.

I wasn't even aware of the true carnage until hours later. Mom told me "The world trade center got attacked!" and I assumed the attack was the "nutcase rushed into the lobby with a gun and a deathwish" kind of attack.

Reminds me of a scene from SpongeBob that was permanently cut after it's airing because it originally aired closely after 9/11.

Spoiler: Children's cartoon spergery

What's weird is there was that "flag twirlers" scene in an episode that aired four days before Allahu Akbar took the world by storm, yet Nickelodeon didn't do shit about that after the fact.
