Answer 1

I got off from my nursing class, was anxietious to know about where my fiancee was ( my husband) because I knew he were on his way to Pentagon city that day. I really felt quite relieved after I hear his voice on the phone.

Answer 2

I woke up to Bob and Tom on the radio, I had to get ready to go to a biology class. They said that a plane had hit the World Trade Center. I thought it was like a little plane at first, but they just keep saying it. Then I went in and turned on the news to see what was up. About 3 or so minutes into watching the second plane hit. I was shocked, I knew then something was going on but could not figure it out. I skipped class that day and stayed home and just watched the news all day long.

Answer 3

This is so weird, I was on the phone to some company in New York and I remember that the guy on the phone was extremely nervous and rude to me. It was about a warranty on a Samsung TV. Then he screamed at me saying "don't you know what just happened here and I said "no, what happened ?" And he hung up the phone. I remember being so mad and I thought , that's the last TV by Samsung that I will ever buy. When I found out a little later what had just happened , I felt so bad about what I had been thinking.
But who would have thought of anything like that ???

Answer 4

I was getting ready for work when my roommates called me to come look at the t.v. I walked into the room where they were just as the second plane hit the tower. After a few minutes of shock, I went to my call center job at AT&T and spent eight hours listening to the sounds of a call center without calls, because our market was New York, and there was not a single call until around noon (PST) the next day from the East Coast.

It was one of the worst days of my life.

Answer 5

I was at work and we had 5 people from our team at a trade show in tower 2. We first heard that a plane crashed into the towers and we thought it was one of those little private jobbers....like, "Oh a plane bumped into the trade towers." But we soon discovered how serious the situation really was. As the word spread the phones all went silent (I work in a call center). We all huddled around televisions and radios waiting for word about our 5 coworkers. People were praying openly. By the end of the work day 4 out of the 5 people had called in to say they were OK but we hadn't heard from the 5th person. And we were all torn between our desire to rush home and hug our own loved ones or staying at work waiting to hear from the 5th person. In the end, all 5 of my coworkers got out and I thought and prayed about all the other people around the world who where waiting for news and that news would not be as good as ours was. It was the longest day of my life.

Answer 6

I had worked the night shift and fell asleep on the couch with the TV on. Good Morning America was on TV and it was the tone of their voices that shook me awake. I too woke just in time to watch the 2nd plane hit. I was scheduled to go in at noon but I could not stop watching the television. When I saw people jumping to their deaths, I called my family and told them all to come over to my house - I felt the need to be together. I called my regional manager and told him I just could not make myself come in and he told me to stay home because they were sending all of our workers home across the country. The weather was so perfect that day and on that clear night, my family and I all sat out on the lawn looking up at the sky thinking how "outer limits" it seemed not to see a single plane in the sky and commenting on how still the world suddenly seemed. I'll never forget it.

Answer 7

I was stuck on the freeway because a bus caught on fire a few miles ahead.

As a result I got the full news report from the moment the first plane went into the tower and they thought it was a private airplane to when the second tower was hit.

Answer 8

I was a senior in high school. I was in the first and second classes when I heard the planes hit the towers. We pretty much spent the whole day traveling from class to class, watching TV.

Answer 9

I was in bed, I have Fibromylgia and was having a bad day.....I hadn't cut the TV on, my daughter called me in a frightened tone....told me to cut on the TV, I cut it on about 5 minutes before the second plane hit the second tower....it was one of the most horrible things I've ever seen as it happened....until the 2 towers fell...none of us should ever forget that day, but a lot of people have and think it can't ever happen again...I'm afraid they are wrong.....no one listening to the warnings and something worse is going to happen because the ones that
are trying to warn us are not being listened to...and we are going to caught without a plan on what to do , we need to start living in the real world,
because we are not safe

Answer 10

I was cleaning my bosses house and her husband came running in from out in the office, and turned on the TV just as the second plain hit. His dad had called him and told him to turn it on. They had a cousin was supposed to have been there at the twin towers, but by the grace of God she has just left 20 minuets before it happen and was in a cap at the time.

Answer 11

I was house-sitting for friends who had gone to Ireland on vacation. I woke up, went down to the kitchen to feed the dog and cat and turned the radio on low. After about ten minutes there was still no music; only constant talking. In annoyance, I went over and turned the volume up to see what all the blah, blah was about.

Then I ran to the TV and sat there for four hours straight, watching Canadian coverage of the twin towers burning until my back started to spasm. I couldn't look away. Then my publisher called and said my books were done! I asked, Tony! Haven't you heard what has happened in the U.S? It's horrible!" He answered, "I've been in a subterranean printing plant, printing the first run of books! We couldn't even hear a TV if we had one down here!"

That was the day my first children's fantasy fiction novel about aliens coming to Earth to take it away from the humans who were destroying it, came off the presses. Profound date, to say the least.
