Knew someone who perished?: No

I don’t remember much about this day, what else i did before everything happened. I was playing with my sister and a friend in our garage. My school was doing a collection of waste-paper so we were looking through old magazines and cutting out posters of our favourite artists when my mom suddenly called us in and told our friend to go home.
My Grandma from Mexico had called, scared and just repeating “what is happening?is it the end?does this mean it’s war?” My mom turned on the news, german tv channels were just catching up with what was happening so we just sat there and felt completely helpless.
I remember the next day going to school and most of the kids not grasping what had happened but while i am not american and have no family in the US i was really affected by this incident and cried many nights, afraid of the future and what was going to happen to the world.
