first and foremost my heart goes out to the victims/families/firefighters/law enforcement that suffered on that tragic day that forever changed America.




what were you doing that day?

woke up. turned on the new and saw what was going on. went to school and everyone was quiet. basically there was no class that day. everyone just watched the news during class.

ALTRNTV

I woke up to my alarm (the radio plays) and I heard the
local station talking about it. I turned on my TV and couldn't
believe what was happening. I also saw the 2nd plane hit live.
I got to school and it was quiet, and we didn't do anything but
watch the news. I actually shed a tear or two...

I was 17 at the time.

I was at school in my 8th grade homeroom. They wouldnt tell us exactly what had happened. They just said New York was attacked. The principal told all the teachers to keep their tv's in the classroom's off. i remember alot of parents came and got their kids that day. Took me a little for the tragedy of it all to really sink in

I was at MEPS that day getting ready to enlist in the Army. However, the computers went down real early.

My recruiter dropped me off at home and I passed my parents and siblings as they went on their way to work/school.

I turn on the TV and see live coverage and the first tower on fire. A few minutes later I see the second plane hit the other tower live...

and then the Pentagon...

and then the plane in Pennsylvania...

Needless to say it was a shitty, scary day that September.

R.I.P.

stiizy

I was like maybe 2 miles away on Canal St buying Tv's for my civic

All we heard was a boom but thought nothing of it when the first plane hit and then all the Radio stations said a plane hit 1 of the Towers and then minutes Later..

They were like oh shit another one just hit...

We had to walk from Canal St to Yankee stadium that shit was at least a 8-12 hike..

And i picked up my car outta the parking lot like 9 days after...

The Crazy shit is my Dad is an Auditor and was supposed to go there for an Audit but he was having surgery done that morning for his Prostate Cancer...


After this happened i Volunteered at the Javits Center where most people were at...

I did it for like 8 days...

Dirty Habit

I laid in bed with my girl this morning and talked about this and the many things we take for granted..
Love and respect to those lost on this day, and those have and did serve to protect us from events like 9/11.
Rip and godbless.

I woke up that morning at the same time I do every morning. I turned on the news and see one of the towers smoking on every fucking channel. I get on my phone and called my family in NY...all lines busy. I call my local family here in AZ and wake them up. I turn back to the TV to see them zoom in on the second plane as it crashes into the other tower. I'm saying over and over "WTF? WTF? WTF?"

Despite the conspiracies and the he said she said bullshit...the civilians that lost their lives and the police/fire dept heroes will always be remembered. How many of us would have the stones to run into those buildings as they were burning/coming down to save people?

I was getting ready for my first day of 8th grade when we got a phone call on our house phone which was weird for that early in the AM it was my moms business partner calling to tell us to turn on the TV because America was under attack. it was terrible and very sad i also saw the 2nd plane hit live and the pentagon. The families & friends of the ones lost are in my prayers. R.I.P & God Bless America because after all the terrible things that have been done to us we still stand strong and united as one country.

I was living in Queens at the time...in school when it happened. The PA system was going off every second because parents were coming to pick up their kids. Nobody had a clue what was going on. It was really chaotic.

It was really hard to believe at first...it felt so surreal...

A few months later we were driving across one of the bridges and you could see the skyline was still filled with a lot of smoke...a very eerie sight.

I'll never forget.

LB.Motoring

Was in spanish class, highschool.

I jimmy rigged the antennas so it would work and everyone could see the news.

I was in the 6th grade. Didn't really know what was going on. I thought it was accident.

Watched the news after school and finally figured out what was going on.

Mi Beardo es Loco

I was sleeping when a good friend of mine called me from Building 2. He was down there barkeeping and doing some modeling, gay I know. But he thought a bomb hit building 1 and they weren't telling him much. I told him that I heard that it was a plane on the tv and there were reports of some more missing planes and he and some other people he was working with at the time convinced some people to leave the building. He was out of there by the time the second plane hit but he heard the explosions in the basement 10 minutes before the plane hit. Very wierd. But I recorded everything I watched that day and watched a lot of it last year. Very strange.

Wow... Seven years ago...

I was living in Canada by then, but I wasn't Canadian that day. I was 110% American. Me and another guy in my class who was also American were inseperable the rest of the school day.

I was running home because I forgot my clarinet for jazz band practice that morning (lol i was a band geek back then), 7th grade. Since I was late my mom had to drive me back to school. As we pulled out of the driveway, my next door neighbor flies past us in his truck and yells for us to turn on the radio. That was after the first plane hit. When the second plane hit the newscaster on the radio went nuts. All through practice they wouldnt let us turn the TVs on, but my next class and for the rest of the day they let us watch. I was nowhere near new york, but I was truly scared.

NismoB13

that day was my second day of 8th grade. I wanted to stay home and watch the coverage because it happened while I was getting ready. The rest of the day was really weird because I'm not too far from LAX airport and not hearing any plains was scary quiet.
