Yeah so my father found these newspapers from 11/9/2001 (in us 9/11) pretty grim photos.
I remember watching Cartoon network, while my parents were renovating our house, and suddenly every channel switched to CNN, (yes even the cartoon channels) and I saw the second plane hit the second tower.

I recorded some news broadcasts on that day from TV to VHS. Wonder if the tape’s still somewhere.
Hell’s been set free? Damn, could they have been more respectful about it. 😅
thats a weirdly high quality picture of bin laden
It’s funny how i remember reading that same newspaper on that day, although being very young.
I have a vivid memory that the next day’s Helsingin Sanomat would have had a front page about the attack instead of the usual ad. It was the first time I’d ever seen them do that, for some reason really added to the feeling that something truly unprecedented had happened (I was 10 at the time).
Does anyone else remember this? I’ve been trying to search for it online, but have not found it, so am wondering if I just remember wrong?
I never forget where I was on that day! On a train from Seinäjoki to Tampere and a passenger front of me was on phone with someone and they were talking about this, I think I misheard them or something, but was like WTF is going on when finally got home and turned TV news on.
We switched TV providers, and I was changing the channel settings. And then I saw the same thing you did: the second plane hitting the tower. I thought that it was a blockbuster or something. Then I asked myself, why does every channel show the same cinema? Then I got it when I turned on the sound.
I was already at school. I lived very close to New York City. I was in math class, but the classroom had some shitty divider and there was a class that was watching the news on the other side. We all came to that side to watch too. This was just about the time the second tower was hit.
