Man on the Street: What were you doing when you learned about 9/11?
As the country marks the 12th anniversary of September 11th, The Post asks students what they were doing on that day.
Kayla Landsparger, sophomore:
“I was in elementary school, I don’t remember exactly what class I was in, but we were in the middle of a lesson and an announcement came on for the teachers to turn on the TV to let us know what was going on.”
Omar Salen, freshman:
“I was in 1st grade, I don’t remember it too much. I do remember the evening though. I went to my grandparents’ house and watched it on the TV. I really didn’t know what was going on.”
Devon Meadows ‘Malfoy’, captain of the rugby team:
“I was in my 4th grade class and I had no idea what was going on,”
Aamina Bashir, freshman:
“I was living in Canada at the time. I didn’t even hear about it until two years after it happened. It was upsetting, I wasn’t even aware of it.”
Navkiran Singh, junior:
“I was in 3rd grade math class. I heard about it, and it was really shocking and scary. We called our parents, and they picked us up from school early.”
Jonathan Lacoursiere, freshman:
“I was in kindergarten and my mom picked me up from school. I didn’t really know what was going on.”
Connie Guthrie, senior:
“I was driving my son to school, I heard it on the radio.”

“I was in elementary music school at the time. They pulled us all out of class to watch the TV, and it unfolded from there.”
Mark Dorsey, freshman:
“Sitting in 1st grade. The teacher came in and turned on the TV, and we saw the planes hit and listened to the newscast.”
