Answer 2

* The people who live and work in and around the Big Apple.
* People who were watching TV that day
* People using the Internet that day
* People who saw replayes on TV lots more times

Anyone who was not watching TV that day was being told by e-mail and phone calls to turn on the TV news.

Depending on how you define "there" darn near the entire population of planet Earth got to see this, plus if you believe in intelligent life elsewhere in the universe, those TV images arejust about now reaching the nearest star systems, other than our solar system.

Answer 3

i wasn't there but was watching live tv when the 2nd plane hit -
right before the 2nd hit they were still discussing it being a terrible accident - not talking too much about a terrorist attack. When the 2nd hit is when things got really scary. Breaks my heart to this day

Answer 4

I watched in horror as the second plane hit the building, I have no idea where "skeptic" and others like him get these ideas in their heads about "Planted explosives" but, like the Kennedy killings, they won't let it rest but, have no proof what-so-ever and offer none as to where or, who, or whomever is the one responsible for these mysterious explosive issues.
I will gladly listen to his issues and, hear him out when he's ready to give me some reason or, some kind of facts regarding this.

My facts are my eyes, I saw what happen.

Answer 5

i was there that day ,i was in the plaza ,it is something that i will never forget, i heard the first plane and just caught a gleams of it as it went in the building , was moved back 3 blocks when the second hit....
makes me mad even to this day. i lost 5 friends that day. i moved back home and haven't been back.

but what makes me even madder is the fact that people are saying that we shouldn't be in Iraq , when i have 2 son's in Iraq. well my ? is would you rather for them to come here again.

Answer 6

I was watching it on TV when the second plane hit. My father had just left the WTC 20 minutes before the first plane impaled it.

Answer 7

I Thank God that I wasn't there.
It was life changing enough for someone thousands of miles away watching it from the safety of my home.
I could not even begin to imagine the terror.

Answer 8

I witnessed the second jet hit WTC2 on TV. I watched as it was demolished with high explosives shortly afterward.

Squibs and complete disintegration at free fall speed do not lie. Your media is lying to you.
