I was in my college Trig class. I was on my way home when I turned on the radio to listen to some music. When I heard about the planes hitting the World Trade Center, I was in shock. I thought I was in a bad dream. I turned on the news when I got home and was horrified when I saw the buildings fall before my watery eyes. I was upset, angry, and stunned all at the same time. To this day, I'm still shocked that it all happened the way it did, the attacks, the aftermath, and so on.

I happened to wake up super early that day and planned to get so much done.
I was in my apartment in downtown Chicago and could see the Sears Tower from my apartment window.
I was watching Good Morning America when the first plane hit and they reported the crash. I KNEW it was terrorists because I had studied Hezbollah and other terrorists organizations back in college. Then, when the second plane crashed, I really panicked and was freaked out because I was dating someone that lived in NY at that time and had many friends who lived there.
I called my friends and family. Then, after hearing that the Pentagon was hit and one other plane was missing, I thought the Sears Tower was next. Actually, the news reported that it could be a target.
I decided to get out of the city, so I took the train back into the suburbs about 30 min. away. I called all my friends in D.C. and NYC and could not reach any of them. It was very scary!
9/11 seemed like THE longest day ever, it was so sad!
I felt like karma was catching up with the U.S., for the shady things we had done to other countries and people. It does NOT justify what happened, but everything has a cause and effect.

i was in 5th grade... i remember walking by the cafeteria from guidance class ... all the teachers were crying and had thier jaws dropped as they watched the tv in the cafeteria... we wondered what was going on, but the teacher said to just keep walking and to not ask questions... we were finally told before we went home what had happened... we were also told to get home as soon as possible. We live close to a very big and important military base and this was on the goverments watch list... they were afraid an attck would be made. I was terrified and confused... now when i think about... i just get angry and feel so sorry for everyone who felt a pain or loss of such hitious events.

I had just gotten off an overnight shift in a psych facility, and had taken a bus to the office of the nursing agency that I worked for. I heard the news sitting in the office...dressed in royal blue scrubs and black sneakers...and went three doors down to the restaurant to see on their TV the news coverage. I was watching the coverage when the second plane hit, and was back in the office for the Pentagon hit and the Pennsylvania crash. I also remember something about a car bomb that day, but that was seriously underplayed.

I was at home in Southern Nevada. One of our daughters called from Columbus, Ohio and told us to turn on the TV. I did and saw the burning tower of the World Trade Center. Later that day I watched the news from the Pentagon about an American Airlines plane crashing into the building and I prayed that two people I knew were not on the plane. They were. Their mortal remains were recovered and I attended their funeral.
I felt the country, my country, had been attacked and we had to go out and take care of those who had planned it to make sure it would never happen again. Three days later I made a request for voluntary recall off the Retired List of the Navy. My request was denied because Federal law had an upper age limit. Since that day I have never waivered in my desire to pursue the Salafist Jihadists no matter where they might be and remove them from the face of the earth.

I was living in the woods in Northern Califonia. I didn't have TV and only listened to the radio.
That morning I woke up and heard about it on Democracy Now!.
I didn't see any footage of the fall of the WTC for about five or six months. When I did I was outraged because I couldn't believe that they fell down like that the way they hypothesized.
I grew up in Manhattan and graduated high school the year the WTC opened.
I still don't believe the official story and many others are starting to come around to the same opinion.
Look at empirical facts and decide yourself.

I was at home, having a dream the country was being attacked. (No lie, it freaked me out for a very long time). My grandmother called me and told me a plane went into one of the towers. I got up and turned on the TV. I saw the second plane go into the other tower. I watched all afternoon til i had to go into work, then listened to the radio. it really did seem like the world stopped moving. I'll never forget it.

Why don't you try asking people you know instead of strangers on the internet? It can be a good time to learn more about them. When I was in high school, I had to interview someone on what it was like to live through the Great Depression. I very reluctantly interviewed my grandmother. Ended up being the last video of her ever made. It's the kind of thing you dread doing now, but will be really glad you did 10-15 years from now.

I was at my parents house in Cleveland OH, but I lived and worked in lower Manhattan. I couldn't get back to MY house for over a month and then I had to show the National Guard my driver's license every time I crossed the West Side Highway.
It was horrible. My brother and most of my new work friends lived in NYC at the time. It was scary and nerve wracking no knowing where anyone was and if they were ok - even if they were trying to contact you, they couldn't as cell phone usage was really high and people couldn't get a line....

I had that as a school project a few years back. I HATED It. i didnt think it was fair because at the time, i was younger and didnt really understand what was going on. I didnt have any feelings, except I didnt want to go to school that day. And I tried using the attack as an excuse.... I had to try to write a paper on it, How was I supposed to do that when at the time, I didnt care? Sorry i am venting. I graduated already and that was a few years ago, now I want to go yell at the teacher for giving me a bad grade
