I was at work, on one of my breaks. I didn't want to go back to work, I wanted to just go home, and be with my children. It was a very sad day & the more I watched it on TV, the more I cried. I think of how all those people had to die .Today, I hear on TV stories about all the heroes whom worked at ground zero & are getting sick today from all the dust. Yes I will always remember 9/11. I will always put out a flag on that day & pray for the families that lost loved ones on that day. God Bless the USA, and all the families it effected.

Answer 3

I was getting ready for an appointment I had watching the today show, everyone else was asleep and I watched the first tower burning and then watched in horror as the second plane hit, I started crying and went and woke up everyone telling them what was happening, to this day I remember everything exactly

Answer 4

I was getting ready for school. My grandmother was up already but she didn't tell me anything, when I asked what was going on she said I would hear it at school. I remember it was a dark day, uncommon for september. Almost like the world was in mourning. Watching it on t.v. it looked like something out of the movies, unreal, surreal and scary. Days later we wrote letters to firemen involved but never heard a answer back.

Answer 5

I lived in Manhattan I was working at the US Customs Department as a canine trainer. I lived 5 blocks to the north and saw the whole thing as it happened. My dog I had at the time did search and rescue also and was at the site she didn't find anyone alive but she found 4 people so their families could have a proper burial. She was never the same after that she was so used to finding them alive.

Answer 6

I cried when I heard about people calling up their loved ones and telling them how they loved them. I was seriously crying and I was so young back then too. I am still young now but yea..they didn't tell us until after we came home from school. At school they gave us some letter at the end of the day and at first like all school letters I thought it was about some disease running in our school so we needed a vacination or something but then I came home and it was all over the news.

Answer 7

I was home with my husband. We were having a lazy morning, lounging watching the television. When the news broke in and we saw the first plane hit, it hardly seemed real. When the second plane hit... We just sat and watched in shocked silence. At that point it didn't even occur to me how many people must have died. It just didn't seem real. We watched for hours and called everyone in our families. It was horrible.

Answer 8

I was at work. We had a radio but we had inventory and didn't hear anything. I had to call my second job, which ironically was at the county ambualnce service ( EMT). He was like" are you not by a tv???" So I let everyone else know and we ran to the radio. We hurried up inventory and I went home. They closed my store at 2 pm ( I was the manager) so my employees got to go home to see what was going on.

Answer 9

I was laying on the couch...my son had just left for school, my mother in law was visiting, and when I turned on the tv, I saw the news. I saw the second plane hit. I was in shock. Im also a proud american.*
