I was in elementary school! Somewhere between the first and third grade.
We didn't really know much of what was going on since we were so young.

@Angelee_27 So you still are a young one! Did you see it on TV later on?

@marlina Yes, I am 22 now. I did see it on TV later and as I got older I was able to understand more of what happened. It's so sad!

I was at school during my English class. I wasn't quite sure what was happening until I heard people talking about it and I saw the news. We all left early on the bus and so many people were crying and sobbing. Such a horrible day...

I had been in bed fast asleep. As I had used the t.v. as a nightlight for my kids, I woke up only to see this nightmare. At first I could hardly believe what I saw. It seemed so unreal. It was only after I changed the station a few times that it hit me that this was indeed very real.
Needless to say, that snapped me awake! I practically ran into the livingroom, to see my husband and in-law watching on in horror.

I was on my computer at the time, and I hadn't heard about it until my daguther called and told me what had happened. It was then that I turned on the tv and saw what happened, and it literally made me cry, as i was so upset, and I just didn't want to do anything. That was one day, I don't think anyone of us want to relive again.

We were all sleeping and my friend rudely awoke us via the phone. I wanted to wring her neck for going bizerk and calling me so early - and I thought what she told me was a huge exaggeration as it always is. Well, she had me turning on the TV this time - and oh boy it was no exaggeration. It was darn right scary!

I was just a young one in kindergarten, but I remember having the whole school evacuated to the football field where our parents had to come pick us up. Everybody was scared and panicked. It was terrible experiencing that. I thought that was terrible and there's nothing explainable to the grief the families of the lost loved ones must face this time of year. I hope they're all coping well.

Of course it happened in the morning US time, but it was afternoon in my country. I remember very well that I was in the mall, my husband was buying a new computer. The TVs for sale were turned on and we all saw the terrible images on the screens. I will never forget that day, as I never forgot what I was doing when JFK was assassinated.

I was at work when this happened working as a receptionist. A man walked in and said "a plane crashed into a building". I said ok and went along with my paper work. Then a kind of silence occurred, even though I was by myself. After turning on the tv and seeing what was going on I felt really terrible about my initial reaction to the man that had walked in. It still bothers me that I was so nonchalant about it. I was glued to the tv for the rest of the day.
