Where were you on 11th September 2001? Did you watch TV? From which moment of the tragedy? How did you feel?

Answer 1

Usually, I wake up and watch the morning news, but this one day I slept in. I got a phone call from my boss asking if I felt like coming in to work that day. I had to hurry, so I didn't turn on the TV. I found out that it had happened when I got to work, the plane hit the second tower when I sat down to watch. Most of us were around the TV that whole day, not much work was accomplished.
I'm in Canada, but even though a border separates us, the thoughts going through my head weren't "Oh, the terrorists hit the Americans again", but "All those poor people and their families." When something like that happens, I think borders disappear and people become people. Not this nation and that nation. Know what I mean?

Answer 2

I was on my way to my part-time job at a university campus in Atlanta. I turned on the radio and the DJ was saying there was some kind of terrible accident and a plane had crashed into one of the WTC towers. By the time I got to campus everybody was clustered around tv's and on the internet instead of in class. After the second plane hit school was closed, classes were canceled, and the campus was evacuated because the CDC is right next door and university officials were worried that it might be a target. People started panicking in the city and trying to leave because a few years earlier a Federal building downtown had been bombed and because of the bombing of the Olympics in 1996, and people were scared something else would happen. The interstates were jammed, and the grocery stores were sacked for canned goods and fresh water. It was crazy and scary. I stayed at my off-campus apartment and watched CNN for hours.

Answer 3

I was in the living room, taking care of a little lady. I remember thinking how brave so many people were. One act of Braveness, was the man with a womans hand in each of his, as they jumped from the burning tower. The horror of what crashed into their office, and what was in store for them, they did it there way.

They made a snap decision, and new it was better than what they we're viewing. They never showed the clip again, because I heard a Fireman say, they acted to quickly. No, I think that what they saw was their destiny in a matter of seconds.

The Clip was available on the Net for a while. I watched it several times, and that was the most difficult choice of their lives.

How did I feel? Overwhelming sadness...

Answer 4

I was at school. I had to sit down. I just couldn't believe that it was terrorism. I had too much faith in the good of people before 9/11 happened. I called my husband right when the plane hit the Pentagon.

Answer 5

I was at home with my family.

Yes, coverage of the event was all we watched for days.

I began watching immediately after the WTC were hit, and soon after the Pentagon and field crashes were broadcast.

I felt angry!
