Hm, I was 5 years old at the time. Just starting kindergarden, I was staying home sick with a high fever, and I was watching Looney Tunes (go figure haha) and the Fed Ex delivery guy shows up at the door to deliver a package, and he said that a plane crashed into one of the Twin Towers. My mom grabs the remote from me, and changes the channel to the news. I was too young to know what was going on, so I wasn't angry or sad when it happened, I just watched it like I was watching a TV show. My mom started sobbing, and I wanted to know why she was crying, so I started crying. I remember this so vividly: I asked my mom why the buildings were falling down, and I'll never forget what she said, "Because of a very bad man." When my sister and I were little, my mother never described a bad guy as being "bad" She said that they weren't nice or that they were mean (such as in a TV show or a movie) Like with Jungle Book she said that Sheer Khan wasn't nice. I get shivers down my spine just thinking about the day that our beloved Towers fell to the ground.... My uncle's best friend was killed on the first plane that hit the Twin Towers.
