I remember this clearly. I was only 5 when 9/11 happened and had just started kindergarten. My only memory from that day is seeing my kindergarten teacher crying and being sent home early. Had no idea what happened until a few years later. I remember 11 years later waking up to get ready for school on the day bin laden was killed and my mom rushing out of her room with a big smile on her face and saying "We got him!!!"
I was in 1st grade at the time. They wheeled the TV into the room and was watching what was going on. The school put us on lockdown. My mom sent my grandma straight to the school to get me and my sister and they would not let us leave until we got the clearing.
You and I are in pretty similar situations. I too was your age, in kindergarten in 2001 and also barely remember and only really found out in bits and pieces as the years went by and I too clearly remember this day in 2011. In fact it was my mom who woke me up on May 2nd telling me he was dead, and so casually too. It was all any of my classmates could talk about that day. I don't think we really learned anything.
I was also five years old when 9/11 happened, and I was in kindergarten too. My home at the time was right across the street from the school. When the first plane hit, my mom picked me and my brother up within minutes. I remember walking in and seeing the second plane hit live. I thought it was some kind of movie, but my mom told me that this was happening in real life. That was the first time I truly remember realizing that there is evil in this world..
This news came at the perfect time for me. On the day before, I had released from the hospital following an operation. I needed some good news to pick me up. This hit the spot.
My father had died a few months before and i had a surge of emotions. It made me miss my dad, happy we got justice, proud of my country and sad i couldnt share this moment with him. i would have loved to wake him up to say "hey dad, we just killed osama bin laden!" i wouldve loved to hear his funny response and to see the excitement on his face.
I wasn’t born when 9/11 happened and was only 8 years old when bin laden was killed so didn’t really know who he was. As I grew up I took a massive interest in the military and soon understood the significance of his death. We are so lucky to have men and women who live amongst us who are ready to go anywhere, anytime. No matter what the conditions to fight for us. Thank you so much
Read Michael scheuers book he was. The things u read on the internet, most of them are lies and deceit, so its critical to find the right source to tell u the story
I remember seeing this when I was 16. My father told me a special announcement was coming from Obama and I watched this news to see. When they announced that Bin Laden was dead, I cheered so much and was talking to friends on Facebook and Twitter that day. Definitely will remember that.
I was born October 15th 2001, growing up I was obsessed with 9/11, I guess I always asked “ why “ it happened why would someone do this too people.I was with my dad watching cnn at night getting ready for bed when they put the breaking news on tv. The look on my dads face was shocking. Definitely a moment I’ll remember for life.
I remember this night. I remember just glancing at the news and seeing Obama was to address the nation a late Sunday night. I thought that was strange and was then glued to my television.
I wasn't born during 9/11. However I was born the day after the Iraq war and never understood the severity of it. I watched the news of his killing live and was confused as to why everyone was praising this man's death. I found out later and didn't really know how to react.
When I saw that as an announcement on MSNBC, I thought, "If I'm dreaming, don't wake me up." And even when I knew it was true I was amazed that they found him before they found Bigfoot.
I remember on that night CNN announced that Obama was going to have a special announcement. Sunday nights were not a normal time for this. I instantly thought either Obama is ill or that they got Bin Laden. I sat quietly until John King made this announcement. A loud "YES" combined with an emphatic fist pump was the immediate reaction...Great night
@rollinstoned0 They confirmed it was him from DNA from his sister. And according to Islamic law, the body needs to be buried within 24 hours. They didn't want bin Laden to become a martyr for Islamic extremists, so it was the best action possible, under very extreme circumstances.
I was 7 when 9/11 happened and a junior in high school when we finally got bin laden. I remember making wanted posters of him as a kid like they did in the cartoons, in fact I asked mom to help me make them. So when they announced this I didn't believe it cuz I thought it was a hoax, probably mostly out of fear. Now I'm glad they got him.
@MikeDole1 You don't know criticism when you see it, do you? I was criticizing those that have been insisting Bin Laden is still alive. You must care what I believe or you wouldn't have responded.
@TwinPat90 Yeah right, they didnt do that for Saddam, and since when do we give two shits about an enemy's religious rights, especially after death, grow up.
The number of a man, Adonikam ("my lord arose"): 666. Ezra 2.1-2,13: Now these were the people of the province who came up out of the captivity of those exiles whom Nebuchadnezzar.. had carried captive to Babylonia. They returned to Jerusalem and Judah, each to his own town..*The number of the men* of the people of Israel..The sons of Adonikam, 666. Rev13.18: let the one who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is *the number of a man,* and his number is 666.
@OphiuchusOne Since we don't want to provide an opportunity for the terrorists to make him a martyr. Take a political science class for crying out loud.
It is good news,I,m glad Osama is dead.On the other hand I feel like united states should keep their security heightened for a very very very longtime. I feel like Osama knew that this day would eventually come, so he may have told his counterparts to retaliate.I hope united states don't get into a comfort zone and lower security because they may strike back when they think everybody forget. I don,t care if it take a million years we have to keep our guards up and don,t get too comfortable.

Fuck the US and fuck its military
Try for background "The Looming Tower" by Lawrence Wright (the book .. but the TV-Series aint bad) .. and "Manhunt" by Peter Bergen
Lol poor littke brainwashed kid. If you only knew the truth
I also was born in 2003
Thank you for capturing this. Moment in history.
Most definitely in Obama’s highlight reel.
When examined, will reveal rapacious FRAUD, like the rest of his tricks
Theo Fulk sounds just like trump lmaooo
The only good thing he did
@@itz_icy_gaming2930 Thats just not true... He gave 20,000,000 Americans affordable healthcare, potentially saving hundreds of thousands of lives.
JackRyan lmao affordable health care good one
One of the happiest days of my life
But now Biden, that was endorsed by Osama...
Ditto Pal
Why the real people that die 9/11 are still alive and well
@@GweGwe-lu9ob what are you saying
@@plamps that did 9/11
I thought Will McAvoy's report was better.
I see what you did there!!!! As a Sorkin fan, this comment should have 2 million likes!!
Yeah, when you get to redo history and have Aaron Sorkin write your “live” remarks, you tend to be more epic…

The only time in my life that I smiled at the announcement of a death. Great day for the world….
I remember getting this news through John Cena at the end of WWE Extreme Rules. Lol.
That mf said it like he was the one who pulled the trigger
I remember this night. I remember just glancing at the news and seeing Obama was to address the nation a late Sunday night. I thought that was strange and was then glued to my television.
13 years later . Im here . Trying to piece some of the puzzle together ! I even rember the day it all began .
I still remmebr watching TV and it cut to a report on this
John its either you was tired or you had a few to drink before u went on air....something is off..
Kevin R Probably was at home chugging a few beers and got called in to report this story.
Story is that he was out to dinner and called in to do the bit and is hammered during this.
John King was Drunk
Age of technology. He didnt even know how he got caught. He didnt realize how easy it was to track people nowdays.
One of the best days ever
10 years ago today when this happened...
I was living in China at the time. My sister texted me with "Osama bin Laden's dead, Happy Monday!!"
Lol
So hammered
John,
Turn your phone off after you pop the ambien.
-mike
Check out the ticker at 1:15. Who would’ve imagined that guy would become president back then....
Martin R let’s hope so

John looks hungover from last nights correspondence dinner.
I remember sitting in the airport and this coming on the news
@moneybelt22 who confirmed that?
I remember watching this on 2012
I remember on that night CNN announced that Obama was going to have a special announcement. Sunday nights were not a normal time for this. I instantly thought either Obama is ill or that they got Bin Laden. I sat quietly until John King made this announcement.
A loud "YES" combined with an emphatic fist pump was the immediate reaction...Great night
I was only almost 5 months when the attack happened.
I found out that Bin Laden had been killed when John Cena announced it at WWE Extreme Rules 2011.
Oh god! He looks terrible, I can't even pay attention to what he's saying.
@rollinstoned0 They confirmed it was him from DNA from his sister. And according to Islamic law, the body needs to be buried within 24 hours. They didn't want bin Laden to become a martyr for Islamic extremists, so it was the best action possible, under very extreme circumstances.
I was sleeping in bed when i heard this
Amazing what America can do when the Playstation Network is down.
My god is he hammered. I mean like dinner with Depp level blitzed.,
@TheTechNerdShow Not sure of OBL's date of death (4/30 or 5/1), but Hitler's was April 30, 1945.
They thought they had long memories. The US had a longer memory.
The war in Afghanistan has ended yesterday.
Johanes Calvin Lopulalan Jakarta 20-10-1976 Indonesia
About time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@pmsan29 I heard he was drunk when he told us the Bin Laden is dead.
You heard wrong
@BamaHick Yeah because being professional totally means speculating for 15 minutes, then high fiving after confirming Osama is dead.
ALRIGHT!!! VICTORY FOR AMERICA!!!!
He was drunk here. 😂 he was at the correspondents dinner amd CNN called him back to report this. True story.
Still have yet to see any pictures of his body but sure.
Osama bin Forgotten
Damn John King sounds wasted in this clip.
I was 7 when 9/11 happened and a junior in high school when we finally got bin laden. I remember making wanted posters of him as a kid like they did in the cartoons, in fact I asked mom to help me make them.

@yolotrippin i think i have to go to classes tomorrow. cus my college wont let me take day of cus its private college. sucks for me!
America is crying about 2000 people died in 9/11 but happy about Hiroshima dropping!! How nice is that
Don't shoot he's a double....
What Time Interrupted CNN Programming.
"counter-terrorists win"
TEAM AMERICA!!! FUCK YA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Newsroom obl
lol john king was so wasted for this.
You call me on my night off to come in and work you better hope I don't tell everyone what I really think of them on air.
How convenient that his body was never documented and instead in fact "thrown into the ocean"! Imagine believing this stuff.
I believe that, what questions do you have for me?
AWW YEAH! MERIKA.... FUCK YEAH!
