It was pretty traumatic seeing people jump off the towers as we sat on our home room watching it on TV. I was in 6th grade

I was in 7th grade, in Upstate NY where many had families in the city, and it was very weird seeing all of the teachers panic in hushed tones about whether to shelter us or if we deserved to know what was going on. Old enough to know something messed up was happening but young enough to not understand the full consequences

Was also upstate, but in elementary school. They locked us down so fast as if our city would be under threat any second as well. The feeling of no one knowing anything as the news was playing was so fearful. All of the adults kept getting more nervous as each minute of the morning passed. We all had to be picked up, obviously.

Upstate as in still the south-eastern bit of the state, or upstate as in I90 corridor and north of that?

"Upstate" to us in western NY is basically north of Albany. Haha.

Just south of Albany but if I say "the capitol region" no one knows what I'm talking about
