This video is like a time capsule — was anyone home watching TV on 9/11?

The Twin Towers were a gay cruising spot too for those who didn’t know👀

Paint the Town Red was playing over the video, idk if that was just my browser being insane or intentional but it was certainly an interesting watch

I was in school and there was an announcement made over the speaker for all classrooms to stop lessons and turn on the news. My teacher turned it on right before the second tower was hit and I watched it in real time  I remember it vividly.

We were watching cartoons and had flipped past a news channel with 1 tower hit, then before school my aunt called my mom and that's when she switched it to find out what was actually happening, and it was all anyone talked about at school that day.

It was almost eight o'clock in the morning in my city (Tijuana, México), in New York it would be 11 o'clock. I was 11 yo. I was leaving my house, on my way to school with my brother (8), when a neighbor asked me if I knew about the terrorist attack that had happened in the United States, that airplanes had crashed into some buildings. I answered that I didn't know anything, I went back home and saw on the news what had happened, it seemed like a movie. For my young age, I did not really understand the magnitude of what I was seeing. But it stuck in my memory. 

Here's a full video, btw:

I was at home watching TV while it all happened, yes. I was 8 years old, almost 9, and I was at home because I had cancer and was being remedially homeschooled. I'll never forget it. Or the fact my dad was mad at me for not studying and instead just watching tv
