Where were you when you heard about 9-11 ?

i was off that day and got a phone call when the first plane hit. watched the rest unfold on fox.

Same here. My Mom called and told me to turn on the TV, and as soon as I did, the second one hit. About an hour later, people from work started calling me telling me to go fill up my gas tank, like the world was ending. It didn't end, but it seemed to change, and I cried a bit about that.

Giving the sales pitch of my life at McDonalds headquarters. They had giant TV screens everywhere, it didn't go well.

Had just woken up and turned on the Today show. The second tower had not been hit yet, so everyone was still thinking it was just a horrible accident. When the second tower was hit, we knew it was terrorism.

At home... was working third shift at the time... for some reason stayed up that morning and had Fox News on. They were discussing the confusion around the first one and I said to myself; "That was intentional." And then with the rest of the country watched the second one live. My heart sank as I knew not only had thousands of people been killed by our entire nation lost it's innocence.

I was driving to my office, probably two blocks away when I heard it on the radio. As soon as I got in the office I quickly asked if anyone else had heard about it and I ended up breaking the news. Everyone came into my office and watched it on my TV. We all watched in horror when the second plane hit.....

Work. We watched everything unfold on the internet. Still can't believe it all happened. I was in Brooklyn a few weeks ago right across the bridge from Manhattan. Was surreal to not see the twin towers.

We have this thread every year but I wanted to give the newbees a chance too

I was at my local PO mailing a Mr Fantastic Mego to Blue Meanie

The news was on the PO's TV without sound

When I first saw the footage I thought it was a chimney on fire.

At the time my nephew was working close by the WTC.

Took like 15 hours to get a hold of him.
