When the first one hit, I was in the car on my way home from a doctors appointment in Kingston, ON. We stopped at a Flying J to get gas and I did something I NEVER do when we stop there.. I went inside for a pee. On my way past the truckers lounge, there was a huge crowd in front of the tv and I saw a building on fire but didn't ask about it. When I came back out, I asked a guy and he told me one of the World Trade buildings had been hit by a plane. Seconds later, as I was watching.. the second plane hit the other tower. I felt sick.... I watched in stunned disbelief at what I was seeing. I went outside and got in the car and told my wife and we started on our way home.. which wasn't far. I put the tv on the second I got in the door... and watched everything else happen.. the collapse... the people.... and I cried. I was sure I didn't know anybody in either of the buildings.. but I cried because I knew that there were probably hundreds or thousands of people who were in the buildings. I didn't leave the tv all day.
In memory of all those how lost their lives on Sept 11.. May you all rest in peace...
In memory of all those who lost loved ones and/or friends... peace be with you.

My mother was in the hospital having a pacemaker put in, so it was already a stressful day. Plus it was the anniversary of my dad's death, so we were all already low-key. At first everyone who saw the first plane's damage thought it was an accident, but as we watched, the other plane went into the other tower. We were horrified as we realized it was intentional. It was kindof weird, going down into the cafeteria of the hospital, and some people knew and were crying, and others hadn't been near a radio or tv and didn't have a clue. It was surreal, in a way. I will never forget the looks on those poor peoples faces as they ran to try to get away as the towers fell. I cried for two days, and it still hurts my heart thinking about it!

I was at my grammar school during gym class. Then we went back to the classroom and my teacher turned on the tv. It was the only time in my career at that school that we watched tv. I remember people being concerned about the Sears Tower also. It was scary to think that this could hit so close to home. Not to take away from the tragedy, but thank god it didn't hit Chicago.

I was on the highway on my way to work and the DJ's on the radio were talking about the pilot that screwed up and hit the tower and then the second one hit and we realized what had happened. I turned the TV on as soon as I got to work (I worked at a funeral home) and just sat in awe of the whole thing.

I was lying on my living room floor 8 months pregnant and unable to sleep. At that time I always woke up really early in the morning so I would always watch the Today show and that's when I saw it unfold. I could'nt believe it was really happening. My first instinct was to call my family in New Jersey to get confirmation on what the hell was going on there. Thankfully I had no loss of family from that tradgedy.

umm.. i was at school and there was an announcment for all the teachers to turn the tv's on and we watched the news about the twin towers the whole day. does anyone else think it's weird that 9/11 are the same number for the emergency number 911.

Sleeping. I was working and going to school at the time. We went to check a house we were going to purchase, while out we heard about what happened. Later that night I sat the full schedule of the school's broadcast. I was running the board and music and one of our other students was working the news. The rest of the students were in shock. Kind of funny that only two people in a broadcast school were willing to cover the biggest story of their lives.

I was at home watching it happen. Praying that people would be OK. It was such a hard thing for the family's to go through, I am still to this day praying for the family members of the people who died. and thanking God for the people who lived. And thanking God for all the brave people who helped out during one of the most horrible times in the world.

I was in Wytheville, Va installing a storefront in the strip-mall beside the Wal-Mart off of I-81. We had pulled up to the job site and seen other guys huddling around the truck radios listening to the world change forever. It was at that time I thought of my daughter, who was only seven months old at the time, and how the world that she will grow up in and the world I grew up in would be two completely different places.
