Question

I was in six grade at the time and I was just going to history and I walked in ansaw the plains hit the twin towers and I was like what's going on.. I was horrifide. My cousent ended up going to Iraq and one cousent went to quam.

Answer 1

I was a senior the military academy, in the middle of failing a pre-calculus test

We heard that a plane had hit the towers, and my teacher dismissively waved it off. In his defense, so did I, I assumed some idiot rammed his cessna into one of the buildings. It was only when I saw people crowded around the televisions that I realized that people weren't exaggerating.

Answer 2

Do I ever!

I was in a jury room deliberating on a civil case that had been going on for three weeks when the judge came in and simply said that there had been an explosion at the WTC in New York and that the courthouse was being evacuated, and we'd resume deliberations the following day at 9 AM.

It struck me as kind of strange that the courthouse was being evacuated because of an explosion in New York (I live in North Carolina). On the elevator, as we were leaving, someone said something about the Pentagon, which made a little more sense to me, since we live in close proximity to military installations.

It wasn't until later that I learned that bomb threats had been called into the courthouse in our county as well as several neighboring ones, and not until after I'd called the office where I was working at the time and got no answer that I began to feel pretty anxious--and when I finally got in touch with a really good friend, I finally learned what had happened.

Answer 3

Someone banged on the bathroom door and hollered something I couldn't decipher with the shower running. So I wrapped up and went to see what was happening. There I stood, fresh from the shower in nothing but a towel in the living room of my college dorm, staring at the TV and shaking. We all were. Hell of a way to start college.

I didn't lose anyone in the any of the plane attacks, New York, Pennsylvania, or Washington, but a good friend I'd just made in college was killed in Iraq. Thankfully, one of my brother's friends came home in one piece, after 2 tours. And he wasn't even supposed to be there, the Army scrambled his orders and his status.

Answer 4

I had to remember the anniversary of 9/11. There was bomb threat scrawled on the bathroom wall of my school earlier this week. But do you realize that much of 9/11 was caused by religious unrest? It's not the sole reason. Lots of people just hate America, but discrepancies in religion between us and the Middle East definitely had some play into it. This part of the feud wouldn't exist if religion didn't exist.

Answer 5

I was sitting inthe parking lot of a Papa John's restaurant in Montana, waiting for the manager to show up so I could upgrade the computer system. I was listening to the news on the radio and the reporters were describing the scene in NY. I didn't see the actual video until later that night. I had to drive 1,800 miles home later that week because all flights were cancelled. That gave me a lot of time to reflect on the tragedy.

Answer 6

I was a freshman in college, living in an apartment. I remember walking out of the academic center and hearing a lot of sirens (coincidentally there must have been a fire or an accident) and thinking "wow, something major must be going on." Little did I know, when I walked into my apartment the phone was ringing. It was my mom and she was upset and freaking out saying "oh my God, we are at war, turn on your TV!" Of course, I had no idea what she was talking about but sure enough, when I turned on the news, there was the footage of one of the planes hitting. I don't think anyone will ever forget that day.

Answer 7

I was a junior in college. We were in Chapel when we heard about the Pentagon being crashed into. At the end of Chapel, we were told about the first tower being hit and then the second after we were dismissed and crowding around any television that we could around campus. After I saw all that I could take, I went outside and sat at one of the picnic tables just trying to digest it all.

I looked up after sitting with my head down in prayer and I saw a group of kids playing in front of me and just started crying. I thought, "How are we going to explain the cruelty that occurred today?" The kids wouldn't understand why it happened. Heck, to THIS DAY, we STILL don't understand why it happened. There is skepticism about why, but we don't know FOR SURE why it happened.

I will never forget that day.

Answer 8

Yes, I do. I was sitting at home, and my Mom was on the computer. I remember her turning the tv on, and there must have been coverage running. Then we walked down to the gracery store, and everyone was talking about it.

I also remember we had sausages for lunch. It's funny how those things stick in your head.

I wonder if I'll ever forget what I was doing that morning.

Answer 9

i had just woke up and i had a radio in my bed room on and i heard that a plane had crashed into one of the towers so i turned on cnn and saw the replay of the second plane hit the second tower and being retired military i knew we were under
some sort a attack then we had to get the brakes done on our car and we watched it all unfold at the shop and i just stood up and look at the other people there and i said america as we know it has changed today and there,s no going back to our old ways of doing things .

Answer 10

I did. I was in third grade. I was the first one in my class to look out the window and I saw smoke from Manhattan. I pointed it out and everyone ran to the window. We didn't know what was going on at the time. Then, I went home and the tv channels were FILLED with news coverage and footage of the tragedy.
It was horrible.
