Video

This video started out in a different era and then after just a minute and a half a new era began. Crazy how much change occurs in this short video.

What is the date of the second half?

This video confirms that most people 18 and under didn't really comprehend 9/11. You can see that these kids are laughing and having a good time, and even after the news shows the terrorist attack, the kids are still smirking and laughing. Yet those same kids are now in their mid to late 30's and would probably swear up and down how solemn of a day that was and how it impacted them forever in a traumatic way. For most kids, that's not true in the slightest. Most kids just went about their days as normal. I'm of a similar age. I imagine the attack had a different impact on adults, but for kids it was nothing. It is illustrative of a lack of emotional development, and the fact that most of the same kids (now adults) would claim otherwise is disingenuous to the max.

I graduated in 2020 from robinson. Seeing this video shot me back to my last couple days of school before lockdown. The sheer amount of nothing that we knew.. I’ve seen looks on those faces I’ve seen within the self.

1:38 and at that very moment, america changed forever

September 10th is my mom’s birthday.

I was in Lincoln, Nebraska working at a grocery store I was 18 and graduated in 2001 and I listened to this on a morning show and I’ll never forget hearing the DJ and a faint female voice with a screech or high pitch say Oh my God it’s gone. I knew the tower fell. I was thinking of all the people that had just died even in the planes and having to jump or burn or choke to death. This day changed not only America but the World.

Im looking at the boys and girls knowing after this that there are going to be a few that are going to enlist after what has happened. And some will die but serving America and not wanting our enemies get away with this.

historical footage

This is incredible footage. Someone doing a film project or a class project just happened to catch real high school students reactions during it. I was in jr. high at this point, and I have so many memories from this day. This sums it up so well. It’s absolutely still traumatizing to watch this footage, even today. 😕 Bless everyone who died that day. 🥺

THIS IS MY HISTORY CLASS RN LOL

It’s really strange watching this footage. That first minute and a half was basically the last time these students lived in a pre-9/11 world, before everything changed for the worse. Thank you for uploading this footage.

I was in history class my senior of high school that day, the teacher came in from another class and told us what was going on. We were in nj and we could see the smoke from the towers from miles away

damn this is hella obscure

1:51 Why is he smiling? This is not funny.

I live in Australia, & have all of my life. There used to be a kid's show on TV every morning called Cheez TV that showed cartoons. When 9/11 happened, instead of cartoons, there was nothing but news of the attacks. When my mum realised what was going on, she quickly turned the TV off. I didn't understand what was going on. I was 8 years old. It wasn't until I got to school that I found out what had happened. My older sister's teacher rolled in a TV & made her entire class watch the news footage. I don't remember much else from that day. I definitely remember growing up in the 2000s, with irrational fears about Arabs, & heavy security measures being put in all over the place. Honestly, seeing this footage of regular students 8-10 years older than me, in the country that got attacked that day, is really sobering. At the same time, I hope that none of them wound up in the military just to get revenge, or other horrible things, but I suspect some of them did...

somebody reposted this on tiktok. wow. i've seen tons of 9/11 home footage from the streets of manhattan but i've never seen footage of high school students reacting to it unfolding on television. sure i've heard stories of people being in school and having tv's brought into the classroom when it was announced what was going on but never have I seen actual footage of it like this. as you can probably tell I was only about 10 months old when it all happened and hadn't experienced it like most of the commenters have in the comments. in some way this footage is historical because it reveals how people reacted to this from several miles away -- in real time for that matter. truly sad.

And then I was born 2 days later 🥺

Yo I’m a senior this year at Robinson Secondary 👀

That one jump cut hits different

bruh my english class last year was in this room lmao

I was in kinder garden when this happened.

I went to Robinson Secondary School and was in 10th grade geometry class when we all found out. Very eery day. School closed early that day and my older brother came and picked me up.

The Kid at 2:16 Of The Video And His Expression At 2:23 Of The Video. You Can Feel It.

2 days before this,i had just turned 7... i gave no shits about this when it happened because,well i was a dumb kid,but when we went to school the next day,i remember every TV,every computer.... everything just had updates,and news coming from the president,and everything. felt really surreal to see all these different teachers at my school just pretend to act like it didn't happen,but kids would ask questions about it and get shot down quick... weird times man...

Crazy, this is my high school. I was there (not that class) on that day

Second day of Kindergarten for me

I was two years old living in Portchester NY on 9/11/2001

started robinson in 07, finished 2012!

Holy crap! Perencivich taught me Algebra 2 back in 2000!

I was 18 in 911 I got home to see my grandpa cry for 3 days

Robinson Rams baby ;)

I go to Robinson

is that krellwitz?

Here we are again, RIP to all the victims. 09/11/2018

Wew i was like 2 months old when that happened

you know I like this video, it seems like in all the movies about 9/11 they have an over the top, Oscar worthy reaction to 9/11 but these kids actually have realistic reactions, kinda like hearing about a school shooting in 2018

That’s the school I’m going to next year

Wow. This is crazy

I was taking the Indiana 8th grade state test. No one knew until the end of the school day.

thank you so much for sharing this.

2:20 "Shit, they just made me sign up for the draft..."

My school went into some kind of emergency lock down mode, rumor spread that there's some kind of national terrorist attack. We were locked in our class room for hours and the school kept blasting the same siren over the main speakers. What a horrible day and a shit school.

Secondary School is such a weird term. It's like they were just too good to call themselves a High School or Middle School like any other American school. I guess them being a 6 year school just means.. they have all 4 years of high school, plus 7th and 8th grade too? Weird.

Shut up about the Asian girls already you creeps

Wow I remember I was in kindergarten on 9/11 and I remember being really scared that day. And for years after when I saw a plane, I would watch it to make sure it wasn't going to hit my apartment building. :/

I go to this school lmao

From the time when I was little, even I remember the early 2000’s really clinging on to the 90’s...

Why are there people smiling and laughing in the announcement

I was in first grade in southern maryland at this same exact time i remember class that day :(
