What were you doing when you heard a plane hit the World Trade Center 5 years ago?

Question

I was taking a shower, when my boyfriend came in and said "A plane just flew into one of the towers of the World Trade Center". And I thought it was an accident. Then he came back in a couple minutes later and said another one hit it. And I said "No Mike, they're just showing it over again, it's not another one, that couldn't happen twice... " lol

Answer 1

i was in my 3rd grade class. i lived near, so there was smoke visible in the sky, so they told us that we couldn't go outside because of "mosquitos". many parents came and took their kids home, when my dad told me after school, i had really no idea. i thought it was just an accident, but when i saw it live on the news and i found out that the terrorists did it, i was upset but confused, i mean i was little. i cried later when i was old enough to realize that a big tragedy that was.

Answer 2

I owned my own business and my boyfriend and I were on ladders hanging siding on a beauty parlor business. The owner came out and told us the world was being attacked after the second tower was hit---we ran to our home to watch the television--what an eyewakening experience-it sure made you realize how frail life can be and how giving people can be--I don't know about everyone but I cried for the families that lost their loved ones and just could not believe the confusion. We then went back to work somber and found out the pentagon was hit and the plane was dropped in PA not far from us==what an experience to bring people together==it is just sad people forget how precious life is.

I was at high school in my 3 rd hour Biology class. We watched it on tv. They came over the PA system and announced to the teachers to turn on the TV when the 1st plane hit . Everyone thought it was an accident until the second one hit. The whole school watched the coverage on TV the rest of the day. I wasn't afraid but I felt strange. Then there were fundtraisers all over the place. My mom started listening to talk radio after that .

Answer 4

I was getting ready for work and my daughter called and said turn on the TV and I knew it had to be really bad. That when they were talking and another plane hit again . I just freaked out I couldn't believe what I was seeing . Cried and the only other time I was that hurt was when I saw the water in New Orleans and thought I didn't have a home to go back to. We need to find all of them and the one that live here and were cheering they need to be deported to the land they love so much to die for .

Why the apparent answer is as a results of the fact a airplane did no longer hit the Pentagon on 9/11. in case you have been fortunate sufficient to work out the information short till now it replaced into pulled, it could have been obvious that no longer something donning a megaton of gasoline rolled for the time of that immaculate backyard and into the Pentagon. there replaced into rather no longer something disturbed on the backyard and there replaced right into a great completely around hollow interior the factor of the development yet no airplane and no hearth. As i've got stated till now, if the morons working this madhouse are not in touch in a conspiracy, then they should provide up performing like they're. FDR stated "no longer something in history occurs with the help of twist of fate." And George Bernard Shaw wrote that "all great truths start up as blasphemies."
