Where were you on 9/11?

I was 5 so I don't remember it, apparently I was just watching some kid's videos.

My mum, however, remembers seeing it on the T.V. and everyone came over to our house to see it.
Thinking about it, I seem to remember loads of people at my house and they were staring at the T.V. and most of them were crying.
Of course, I wasnt told anything about it until I heard about it a few years later. In a way, I wish I was old enough to be able to remember it as everyone seems to have their own story of where they were and what they were doing when it happened.
 
I drank homebrewed beer and contemplated WWIII I dont do bad stuff anymore but this is truly what I was up to that day

I was at work. When the first tower was hit it seemed like an accident. When the second tower got hit we knew it to be an attack. I could feel the anger rise within me.

Anger at the terrorists for being so blatant as to attack our shores, and anger at myself for being too old to go back into the military.

The whole incident reminded me of the attack on Pearl Harbor. You don't attack our country without paying the price. I just wait for the check to be handed to the terrorists in the world and for them to have to pay up.
 
I was in my 8th grade World History class.

The teacher next door had her TV on and saw the first tower go down. She called me to take my class to her room (I had no TV), so we joined her very small class. Honestly, I thought they were talking about the 90s attack, so I was talking about that to my fellow teacher when the second plane hit the Twin Towers.

Sadly, my class cheered. The news was just reporting that 40,000 people were in the building. Appalled, I asked them if they realized that enough people had died to make a city - they just looked at me...

The next day, they came to school terrified. They had watched the news at home, and our local news (Baton Rouge, LA) had run stories wondering if we were next because we had the largest petroleum plant in the U. S. (Exxon).

I remember talking to a another teacher outside the next day when a plane flew overhead. He freaked and ducked!

I was furious at Al Qaeda, as were most Americans. Ironically, a few days before, I had just told my class about Al Qaeda to interest them in World History. To make it relevant to today, I had just told them that the Jewish-Arab conflict cold be dated back to Abraham (it wasn't a religious message). I even told them about the first Twin Towers bombing in the 90s. Imagine my surprise when 9/11 happened just days later.

As an aside, I was cleaning out a drawer when I ran across a Twin Towers keyring. My mother had given it to me as a souvenir, and I'd never used it because I already had a keyring. I broke down and cried and raged for a while. I sat there thinking that i would never see what my Mom saw. I raged at the death of thousands of people, thankfully not 40,000. I raged at the glee of Osama bin Laden at the news of the Towers destruction. I'm for one am glad he's dead. It took them long enough. I don't know if i support assassination, but I do support self defense!

I was glad that world response that counted to me was supportive of us. I was in Brighton England, interning at the Tory Conference the day it was bombed. My flatmates had just left the ball. i'd returned to London and overslept the next day. My mom and best friend were frantic as were the staff when they couldn't find me in class. I was stunned at the news.
 
I was 3, and my mom was at mothers morning out getting a carseat check. Her friend walked over and told her to turn on the radio... A plane had just crashed into One of the twin towers. Mom rushed me and my little sister (she was only one at the time) home, and my dad's office was closed down and he came home. They watched the news while trying to keep us distracted.
 
I was in ROTC in Highschool. I left to go raise the flag and when I came back It was on the tv. As soon as I got of Highschool I joined the Army.
 
I was 4, and probably eating something;) or playing with toy cars.....................something of that sort

i actual found out about what happened when i was like 7
 
I was at my job as head chef of Regina International Airport. A very interesting experience.
 
9/11 occurs every year, and as such I was doing something completely different each September 11. But, I was at work during the attacks on the world trade center and the pentagon. I can remember September 11, 2000 I was at work then too.
