I remember being shocked when my ex-friend was like, "Who cares? I didn't know them."

My mom ran into my room screaming that "The US is under attack! The US is under attack!!"

I was on my 1st period spare and I seen the second plane hit live (not highlighted.) I went to second period and all we did was talk about it and what it could possibly be about. And even though I was here in Ontario, everyone was pretty fuckin scared. I don't know of many people who finished their classes that day.

sad times.. I really want to see that World Trade Center movie

I was in tenth grade and remember our teacher turning on the TV moments before the second plane hit.

I hate that people are automatically written off as loonies when they cry conspiracy. Hitler did this exact same thing in the late 20's early 30's before he went nuts. Google "Hitler's Enabling Act," and all the events that surrounded it.

Now compare that to the Patriot Act and all the events that surrounded that. Eerily similar.

Good post! We need to hear what it was like for someone who could SEE it with their own eyes...

I can still remember the morning clearly. I was woken up by my landlord banging on my door saying "they bombed the pentagon! the world trade center was hit!"

The rest of the morning was spent watching tv, with strangers who we invited in from street.

I had my uncle and aunt over when my uncle asked me: "have you heard about the terrible disaster?"

I couldn't get my head around the multiple planes bit. I hit the TV and it was on most channels. We all know those images. I spent most of that day taking it all in, zapping between Dutch, Belgian, German, British and American stations, comparing stories.

9/11 changed the world far beyond its magnitude.

It's amazing that you saw both towers fall. I could see the smoke but thats about it.

It was the first week of my freshman year of high school. I had just come from a shitty public middle school to a very competitive High school and I remember earlier in the day agonizing about how the work was kicking my ass. At some point I had started hearing rumors about how a bomb blew up the world trade center, and that you could see the smoke from somewhere in the building. (The school was in Brooklyn but it was nine tall stories high.)

After that class was over, I snuck up on the roof and watched the smoke from across the water. It took awhile for the breadth of what had really happened to penetrate for me. At first, I was just relived that I had an extra day to catch up on my work. I cut out of school about half way through the day figuring nobody would care because of the panic. That night watching the news with my mother, I began to realize the effect that this would have on the United States, and on the world.

I woke up and heard about the first plane on the radio.
I turned on the TV, and watched as the second plane hit live.

That was pretty fucked up.

I was at work when it happened. I remember worrying about them possibly attacking the nearby base in Indiana where they store all the VX nerve gas.

I went to New York on Sept. 13, two days after. A very close friend of mine lived there at the time, so I wanted to be with her at that time.

I remember waking up for school like I always did. It was such a shock to go from, "Shit I gotta go to school," to, "Shit, I hope nobody else dies today." There's nothing that can really explain that feeling of loss and confusion, although at the time I'd have to admit that I was pretty numb to the whole situation. It's hard to put words to the feeling of watching that second plane hit the tower over breakfast. We moved the TV out of the kitchen after that.


--------------------
The story goes, or the way that I was told
There was a king that always felt too high and then he fell too low
And so he called all the wise men to the hall
And begged them for a gift to end the rises and the falls
But here’s the thing, they came back with a ring
It was simple and was plainly unbefitting of a king
Engraved in black, it had no front or back
But there were words around the band that said
Just know: This Too Shall Pass

It was my freshman year of college. I had been in school for a little over two weeks, when the phone rang a little after 6 in the morning(PST). It was my roommate's girlfriend, telling him that planes had been flown into the world trade center. He told me about it too, and immediately woke me up from my state of grogginess. I stayed glued to the TV for the rest of the day, while my roommate, who was from New York, was calling friends to make sure they were still alive. None of his friends had died, but his dad had lost a few friends in the attacks. It took a while for the whole thing to sink in. I started wondering how they pulled it off. I was hoping for an investigation to figure out if someone on the inside had assisted the terrorists(and was surprised at how few other people were suggesting such a thing at the time). One thing I knew for sure was that this would be the defining moment of my generation.

The night b4 my friends took me out for a bday dinner. I was entering my senior year in college and was in between apts so my g/f and I were crashing on a matress a buddy had for a couch in Baltimore. I decided to sleep in and skip my 9am business class.

At 930 or so my friends came home, kicked me saying "School's closed. We're under attack".

A paranoid friend of mine earlier that week was ranting about how he thought the Chinese were going to try to take us over because, as you all remember, this was right after our spy plane went down off the coast of China.

So the first thing I thought waking up to the words "We're under attack" was that the Chinese had landed in DC/Baltimore. My buddy threw on the tv. I think it was right before the first tower crumbled.

I was in Atlanta, watching TV in the morning before going to work. We were worried about being 2 miles from the Center for Disease Control, a definite target. I actually had my four track recorder out at the time and made song about it while watching Dan Rather et al. Later went to work but noone wanted to eat out that day, everyone was watching TV.

OMR - I like your use of the word awesome, I'm sure being t so close was certainly awe-inspiring. Just watching it on TV was a pretty intense experience for most folks...

Just a quick side question, does anybody else find it really wierd when watching pre-2001 movies of nyc to see the towers in them? For example about a week ago my roomate and i where watching Die Hard 3, and there is a scene where samuel is just staring up at the towers for a split secound. I remember i looked over at my roomate to say something and he was just staring back at me, and i dont really think either one of us could figure out the right was to say what we were feeling.



Very true you see the Towers in almost any movie situated in New York, and every time I see them I get memories from that day.

I watched "world trade center" tonight. Good flick. Brought out a lot of emotions. Saw flight 93 when it came out. Talk about heavy. When the curtain went down, everybody in the theater was holding there breath. It took a few minutes for anyone to get up, and leave.
