I was getting breakfast for my son and watch Good Morning America, When the second palne hit..I sat down cried, and held my son tightly. Later I watched as Air Force One flew by on its way to Omaha, with jet fighters, and I was scared.

Answer 1

I was asleep, my aunt called to tell me. At that point only the first tower had been hit and i was thinking, it is going to come crashing down. My daughter was one month old+2 days and i was thinking how different everything would be for my kids. It was a horrible kind of amazement.

Answer 2

I was on my way to school and heard it on the radio, It was unnerving but it didn't really shock me because this kinda stuff happens all the time. I watched the whole thing unfold at school. I did feel some relief when 93 went down in Pennsylvania. It was in such a remote area and the whole thing had been going on for a while and I figured that people in the air were becoming aware of it and taking action.

Answer 3

I was in a meeting in Chicago. I closed the meeting when the second plane hit. We lived in the burbs and when the meeting ended I headed straight home. My wife and I are from New York and each had family that worked in the Towers. My wife's niece, and my cousin. Thankfully they both made it out, but it felt very personal, very painful. Today I have one son in Iraq and another who is in training to go soon. They also felt it as a personal experience, and wanted to helped make a difference.

Answer 4

I was on the roof of a building we were finishing and remember thinking this is the most tasteless joke Ive ever heard a radio station pull later when it sunk in that this was real I just remember being numb and fearfull for the rest of the country

Answer 5

I was on the phone with my mother watching the coverage and crying in disbelief wondering if it was some king of joke, but of course it was not. Our hearts still go out to the victims families of 9/11 may they never be forgotten!

Answer 6

I had just gotten out of bed and turned the Today show on. They were talking about the first plane and then the second plane hit. I was in shock.

Answer 7

I was still in high school at the time and my teacher turned on the T.V (we had cable in the classroom, this program that had been introduced in high schools in Ontario, Canada) then we saw the second plane hit the second tower.

We were all in shock. It was really surreal

Answer 8

I was in my parent home turning on the news at the time in the night, here in Sabah, Malaysia while I am on my rest waiting for my mum cook dinner. I was with my father and sister at the dining room talking about it. I was shockly supprised and tragicly sad of the news. It was so scary to see so many violence in the world wide while we were in the house with the whole family. My father pray to the God, Allah S.W.T for a good news of it. It was so sad to see so many life died at a single time.

Answer 9

First I was shocked and then I got mad. How could this happen in America? God has always been my protection and provision, yet I knew God allowed this to happen in America. The devil made it happen, but God allowed it. I knew America was becoming a pagan nation and falling away from their God, but I got mad at myself for not seeing this coming to America. I repented on hands and knees and prayed. I quit taking small things for granted like watching movies with GD in them. Watching falsehood like bloody and scary movies. I started guarding my eyes and watching my spoken words. I had been trying to quit smoking cigarettes and God finally delivered me from smoking after I got serious about it.

You could say - I started cleaning up my act and repenting.

Answer 10

I woke up, turned on the TV and the first plane had already crashed, so I was watching CNN, I called my brother and he was also watching, we were on the phone watching, when the second plane crashed, so we saw it live while talking on the phone.
