Where were you when...

I find it interesting how things are different in our respective countries.

After 9/11, it seems like everyone dropped what they were doing and spent the day watching the news. When London was brought to a standstill by the July 7th bombings (another schoolday), however, school went on as normal - the only coverage we got during lessons was the odd F5'ing of the BBC news page between PowerPoint slides.

i recall hearing about the bombings, i dont think we spent even 1 day looking into it 'my school anyway'. its a shame that is the way it is.

I was on my way to visit my Nana..... who lives in New York City. I was on a charter bus and it was turned around and we went back home. I was just a little kid so I was crying that I wasn't going to get to see me Nana. It was the first time we have ever plugged the TV into an antenna and watched the news on it.
