holy shit these are the same thousands of complete nothing stories every single time, posted as if they were some profound insights.

"I was in first period. Then, the teacher said our nation was under attack. Then I learned that planes hit the World Trade Center. Then I went home."

Or, the West Coast version:

"I woke up and turned on the TV. The second plane had already hit. I watched the events unfold on the TV."

    It was probably traumatizing for random Americans because they didn't expect anything like that to happen to them.

    It's entirely this. I watched it on TV when I got home from school (UK) and my thoughts were just "yeah? They've been bombing the world for years, it was bound to happen sooner or later."
