Where were you on 9/11?

So with the 10th anniversary of 9/11 coming up, I was thinking about where I was when i first saw the news about the attacks.

I was in my 4th period art class, in 7th grade.

Where were you?

My brother and new wife at the time were flying out of Denver going to Italy for their honeymoon. Their honeymoon ended up in Kansas City, never did make it to Italy.

i was calling in sick with a stomach bug to work that day and hadn't watched the news or listened to the radio yet, and when my boss said what happened and that the office (call centre) was closed because of it, i was shocked! yet they still docked me the day for calling in sick........

I was at my house, and a friend stopped by to pick me up that morning. On my way out, my father mentioned to me that a plane had just run into one of the world trade center towers. It didn't really sink in at the time. I suppose I figured it was just an accident, and the tower hadn't fallen yet, so it didn't phase me much. Then my friend and I hit the road. Back then, we listened to CD's a lot more than radio, so we didn't hear anything else about it until we arrived back home a few hours later. At that point, the second tower was just falling. We just stood there in awe, realizing that 2 towers is no accident, it's an attack, and wondering what it would all end up meaning for our country. From that point on, my eyes were glued to the TV.
