Memories from Czechia
1. "In the office when someone said,
'Hey, there's shit seriously hitting the fan.'
We watched the events bewildered."

2. "I remember it quite clearly, I was 9 years old and playing outside with my friends. I came home to get something to drink just as the second plane crashed. My parents were watching it on TV, obviously shocked. I didn't really understand at that moment what really happened.
I thought it was just a unlucky accident."

3. "I was almost 10 and I think I didn't care, it was just some attack far away like when they show bombs somewhere else. My whole world was friends from our joint 4th and 5th class of about 10 people total, one village, an encyclopedia about animals. I didn't know what internet or the international world was or that it may have any effect on anybody outside that far away country. I don't even remember if the teacher talked about it in school, probably not. The same with parents, I don't remember them saying anything about it.
The first time we were told anything in school about it I remember was perhaps 8th grade when teacher told us to stand up and pay a minute of silence. Since I and my best friend were the edgy teenagers, we were super annoyed."
