Tomorrow is the 10th anniversary of the September 11th attacks in the US. I'm sure we all remember what happened. Can you remember where you were on that day?

I remember coming home from school early and walking in the door, going straight into the living room and seeing it on the news. I was only 11 but still couldn't believe what I was seeing...

Had the same feeling, walking in, just in time to catch the second crash live. Will always remember the Norwegian reporters saying there was a new crash, and the studio presentor replying "WHAT!? There is a new crash!?"

It happened in the middle of the night here, I remember waking up and seeing it on tv. I didn't understand what was happening, I couldn't grasp how big it was. But I'll never forget it..

I was in school when it happened - the teachers didn't find out until lunch time and they told us afterwards. It was when I got home and saw it on CNN that I really understood the impact of it. I don't think I'll ever forget it either. A lot of coverage on TV today aswell.

So what was the international headlines ten years ago then?

The Norwegian ones:

"USA in war"
"At least 10.000 dead
Now it's time to revenge"
"The lost towers"

VG's estimate of the number of dead was wrong too...

Yeah, totally wrong! It's stupid to go out with numbers the day after. The incident itself is more important. Details will be changed. They said 91 killed in Norway too, even though it was 76.

ZZ, ja, might be a little dramatic. But they did take revenge, didn't they?

So how many of you watched documentaries? Basically the same ones that was aired five years ago, but they are interesting. Imagine how many who was killed by dust and bin from the towers when they collapsed! People stood around them for ages, and they had no chance to escape when the towers fell down within seconds!

Interesting, the two newspapers in Sydney predicted 10,000 deaths too:
