Where were you on September 11th 2001, what were you doing and how do you remember it ?

Answer 1

I watched it burn in the sky from my house and everywhere I was that day, I live on Long Island, I watched as Fighter jets streaked around here all day and night, If the terrorist's were trying to scare us they made one large mistake, they picked the wrong city, any other city would have been brought to it's knee's, WE ARE NOT JUST ANY OTHER CITY, WE ARE THE CITY OF NEW YORK !

Answer 2

at the office.... ms faye- the lady i won't forget because of it- looked over the cubicle and said did you hear what happend, are you listening to the radio... it was about 857 or so... I turned on the radio and soon the second bldg was hit and the events unfolded accordingly. this other coworker kept on shouting out the rumors everytime she heard an update... well many of them were wrong so you didn't know who to believe. we were told to cont work--- yeah right--- i left for my internship just after lunch when I got there I saw the pic os CNN. I finished the afternoon and went home and then to a prayer service--- i had to--- who didn't? then i went home like everyone else. I said to myself while I crossed the bayside bridge in Clearwater... I woke up in a different world.... it will no longer be sept 10 again. we wake up and it is now different; forever sept 12. I sat observing in a class the next at a university, one my friend taught, listening to kids 5-7 years younger than i debate war and future and recompence. You could tell the so-called military brat" -- he had appropriate things to say, but just as many started on the left wing of we shouldn't go to war. I found and still find myself on the right wing in most things. you can't do a half-a@@ job on something you started... you must see it finished. Will it ever be finished.. no probably not. We just must keep some kind of peace to attempt to live with one another in hopes of violence stopping.

Answer 3

I was in between jobs, and was sleeping in a little. My husband called me from work and said, "I know you'll want to watch this--turn on CNN--an airplane has hit the Twin Towers." Just after I turned on the TV, the second plane hit. Rumors were coming in from all over the country that different buildings were targeted--even the federal building in Indianapolis, where I live. My husband came home to be with me, and I was glued to the TV for days.

Answer 4

I was at work getting the daily deposits together. We were at our regular Tuesday morning meeting when they announced that a plane had flown into the WTC. It was the first one so we all thought it was an accident. Then we started hearing reports of a second plane. Everyone was upset. They wouldn't let us watch the coverage. They wanted us to keep on working like nothing was happening. People were trying to sneak online to find out or were calling people trying to find out what was going on. I left early because I was shaking and couldn't concentrate.

Answer 5

I was at the corner of Pennsylvania and Independence Ave in DC (the Southeast corner of the U.S. Capitol) stopped at the light there on my way to work when the 2nd plane hit. I hightailed it to my office, about a mile and a half from the Capitol, told everyone to leave and got out of the area (took the long way home to avoid downtown DC).

To remember it, I watched a lot of the shows, they made me sad.

Answer 6

It was just 4 days after my gran had died so I was at home with my family. I remember very well. I took a nap in the afternoon, European times,and when I woke up my whole family was standing in front of the TV. My mom was crying and as soon as I found out what happened I started crying too.

Answer 7

I was in the library at the University of Southern Mississippi watching news when the breaking news came in about a plane hitting the first tower. I just remember it all feeling unreal.

Answer 8

Had dropped my daughter off at school, listening to the radio in the car, on Congress Avenue Bridge going to work downtown when word of the second strike hit, at that point, knew it was not an accident, and sensed some of the implications of it.

TVs were on at work and we watched them fall, work was delayed, pushed to the back burner. Still have the somatic memory of how sick at my stomach I was as I watched it unfold.

Answer 9

I was sitting in front of the TV, a friend of mine who is a Muslim telephoned me and said, "tune to CNN, it seemed that some idiot of a muslim fanatic has hijack a plane and crashed it into the World Trade Centre. This arseholes are mad." This was before the second crash. Clearly the not all Muslims shares the views of this fanatics.

Answer 10

At home not working that day and besides being shocked, my neighbor who is elderly came to my door on her cane thinking the world was at war, ( her husband was a veteran), and she said too many countries were against us and was crying. I was very angry about it happening, I knew before that that too many were being let into the US and they caught us pants down bent over a barrell and in they came.
