I was MASSIVELY hung over on 911 and had my cbc radio on as I exited my room. I thought it was a radio drama. It made everything go sideways and thought the world was ending for a bit.

was it really that big of a deal? i'm european and can't really understand whether people want to make it seem like such a big deal, or whether it actually really had anything to do with most people's lifes?

I mean the post was asking about a time you thought the world was ending.

I was 18. When I say hangover I mean coming down off some Lucy in the sky with diamonds. Lol so when I heard the radio being all shouts and people freaking out I definitely thought it was all about to go world war 3. Looking back obviously it wasn't life ending for me but I'll say, it permanently changed how north America treated air flights and media started getting crazier then. Things were different in North America after that.
