where o was five years ago when the world trade center fell?

Question

I was only 5 years old and sick.

Answer 1

I was in a meeting, my secretary came in and informed us of what had happened

Answer 2

I was at work, and a customer told me. I spent the next while receiving more and more information from other customers, some of it conflicting, especially about the estimated casualties. Some people told me as much as 250 000 000 people! A long ways off, but it was still a horrific day. I got off work early, and pretty much the whole mall was clearing out as people were going home to listen to the news. Then I found out that thousands of planes were being diverted to Canada (where I live), 25 of which were landing in my city. That was pretty scary. There could be terrorists on the planes, so they're being sent HERE?? Nonetheless, I was very proud of my city and how we lodged and fed the stranded passengers. My workplace (a restaurant) donated quite a bit of food.
