I was woken up by my family who were in the living room watching it on tv. Just as I walked into the room and looked at the tv trying to figure out what was going on, the second plane hit the towers. We were all stunned and just sat there watching everything unfold. Then when the towers came down, I yelled at my brothers and said, the tower is gone. They at first didn't believe me, but then when the dust cleared a little more you couldn't see the tower anymore. We were in shock from that moment on. I went to school that day (in college) and only 1 professor showed up. He said to the class, "today is one of those days. go home." It was a really, really weird day.

I was eating in the chow hall in camp pendleton in 21 area when the planes hit. I saw it all on TV. Then my cell phone rang for me to get back to the shop and then my unit started a work up to head over there.

I remember getting ready to go to school and then i was at school and my mom use to work at my elementary school and she got a call from my dad telling her and she told me so right when we went into class our teacher spoke about it and then put on the news.
We were as a class talking about it and then in the middle of us talking the second plane hit and my teacher broke out into tears. I was then pulled out of class about an hour later and went home and watched it on the news with my parents discussing it all. To be honest it was a weird/crazy/kinda of akward day. Never thought i would see something at that age that would make a huge impact on our country and as i age it holds more meaning and means more and more. |

I was in Okinawa and we were getting hit by a typhoon. Dorm I was in already had no power when it all went down. So we heard from the SF members that came by and told us what was going on. Glad I didn't have to watch that sh.t live on tv, would have been sick.

I was in my Sophomore year in high school. Woke up and started getting ready for school and saw the towers burning when I walked into my mom's room. Throughout the day the school was announcing what was going on through the loudspeaker. I don't think my school had ever been so quiet.

My parents just got stationed to Ft Lewis and it was my first day of hs in Washington. We were still waiting for our shit to come from ft hood so we had to live on base. Anyway, i was brushing my teeth and my pops was taking a shower and i seen the first plane. I thought to myself it must be a movie or some shit...then the second plane hit. Explosions, people falling from the buildings...shit scarred me for life. pops asked what was i watching and suddenly alarms went off on the base...i asked my pops since all this shit just went down, do i have to go to school? I mean youre unit wont know if youre there lol! needless to say i had to go but every period was the same solemn look and pindrop silence.
This was the ONLY time Ive ever seen Americans unite in my entire life. There was no racist remarks or homosexual remarks towards each other...we stood united as a team to take on who was resposible. Hell, that day is one of the reasons why i joined the Marine Corps 2 years later...

7th grade, nobody really explained what happened so I was glad that the whole class was sent home. Got home after being picked by mom and saw everything on the news.

I was in 3rd grade, walked out of my room to go to school to see my dad sitting in the living room glued to the tv. Turns out I walked in right after the first plane hit the tower, kept watching the tv for a while then the second plane hit. After that I got taken to school and all I remember was being glued to the tv all day there too...

Was 15 mins from NYC, on my way to science class....Then heard news helicopters crashing into the buildings...Went for a bathroom break to stare out the windows in the hallway to see the smoke/Buildings...Security was blocking windows I was like huh..Got dismissed from class then luckily got scooped by some cool dude picking up city workers and made it home in about 4 hours....
I just remember hearing countless stories of friends visiting the city, knowing someone who passed, and those that got lucky...It was a tough time to be a young New Yorker. nobody knew what to expect next....

can i get in on this group buy?
was just waking up, i had 10 missed calls from my mom. I finally picked up and she was screaming that we were under attack, and people are flying planes into the towers. turned on the TV about 5 mins before the 2nd plane hit. I remember the most eerie feeling of seeing and hearing no planes in the sky the day after.

i woke up with my my brother, mom and moms roomie all in the livingroom watching TV with their jaws on the floor. i had no idea wtf was going on. then i went to school.. i think it was Science class which was my first period where we watched TV and that was when i figured out what was going on. thats all i remember. i have NO idea what i did the rest of the day. a few days later i remember seeing a picture somewhere of a guy falling. and i thought to myself.."hole lee shit" not sure if not remembering it too much is a good thing or a bad thing?

I was in spanish class in middle school. My pops was at work as a pilot that day so obviously I was a bit freaked out. I remember every channel on tv was showing it. Unreal stuff.

I didnt bring a camera but my friends tagged me in enough pix on FB.....
Funny thing about the food we send two coolers a week, 1 full of milks and the other one full of cereal. In exchange they send us there form of Dunkin Donuts. I think it goes to the C17 maintainers. |

I was jobless at the time so the day before I played counter-strike till like 4am, then watched swordfish which I downloaded earlier and went to bed. Dad woke me up in the morning as it was happening. Dragged me out of my room and into the living room where he had the news on live. As I sat to watch, thats when the second plane went into the building. I was 22 and it was unreal. I thought I was having a bad dream especially after watching swordfish. I WILL NEVER FORGET.

I was in college, on Semester at Sea, 1 day outside of landfall of Japan (coming across the Pacific from Vancouver).
We got woken up in the middle of the night and were only told "Washington DC and New York have been attacked, that's all we know". No idea what kind of attack, or from whom, etc. We didn't get any additional information for more than 12 hours. We were all pretty convinced that WWIII had started, and so we may have been the only 800 people on the planet to be relieved when we got the actual news, horrible as it was. I didn't see the actual footage of the towers dropping until like 3 weeks later.
