What were you doing on sept 11 2001 when planes hit world trade center in USA

I remeber that day as if were yesterday. It was my first of of highschool and my dad suddenly woke me up and i saw my whole family gathered around the television watching some kind of news and i saw a picture of a tall building with smoke around it. i was only 12 back then so i knew nothing about current events. But this event led me to do alot of research and helped me understand alot about the world. Of course, i'm canadian so i wasn't as heavily affected. I know my dad had to call his brother in new york and he was really worried. So for my first couple of months in high school all we learned were the history of the arab people and US relations.

I was at home, getting ready to start work (I work online at home), when my son called me from his work and told me what had happened. I only had a tiny TV at the time, one of those 6 inch ones, but I plugged it in and watched it as well as I could. I will never forget it. What a horrible day for us all.

i was at the hospital getting an allergy test and my hubby was on a business trip in a different province. we were concerned that he wouldnt be able to get home due to the no fly clause of the day and the next few days but he was able to come home on schedule.

I was at work. I had just gashed my finger open on a utility knife and was on my way to the bathroom with my finger wrapped and bleeding. I had noticed that the music had stoped an all the radios and all I could here was unintelligable talking. A guy I worked with walked by and said to me, "hey1 did you hear?we're under attack, we're being bombed with our own planes as the missles!" Shortly after I was at the hospital, the nurse was bringing in regular updates for me while I was examined and stitched up. by that thime, the last plane had gone down in pensivania. I remember thinking, "this is going to change us forever". I was sent home for the day because they were concerned my wrapped and stitched finger would just get in the way and I was risking popping it open if I worked with it. I got home and my wife waas outside with a look of utter shock on her face. My neighbor's were outside talking, a few were crying. I walked numbly in to my house, cnn was on. By then the towers had alreday fallen. I looked on the tv and saw the gap wher the towers had been and my stomach lurched. I almost vomited right there. That was when the full scope of things hit me, and yes, I cried

I was in high school. My class had a tv in my room and we turned on the tv and watched in shock. I cannot remember my high school ever being as silent as it was that day.

I was looking out the South Tower of the World Trade Center on the 91st floor trying to see what happened. People started getting crazy on my floor and we decided we needed to get out of the building. We started running down the stairs and at the 86th floor we were told our building was safe that we could go back to our floors. However, I was in the WTC when the bombing happened in 1993 so I knew I had to get out to see for myself. As we were told this and still on the 86th floor not knowing what happened until later the other plane had hit my building and we were thrown to our knees. We managed to scramble to the door and start once again running down the stairs. I lost 13 friends from my job on that horrible day and that day will never leave me till the day I die.

hi I was at my podiatrists office and we were all watching on the overhead television. all of us shocked and pale faced,as we saw people jumping out of the windows to avoid being burned alive.what a choice.it was so horrible I was crying and shaking. when I saw the podiatrist he almost cut my toe off as he was still watching the television himself. we were all just shocked.

I was in High School. I remember one of my teacher's coming in, telling the other, and he turned on the TV. We watched the news coverage. For the rest of the day, we talked about it in each class. People were scared. Especially people who had family from NYC. I then remember working that evening and listening to the news on the radio getting all of the updates. It's definitely a day I won't forget, even if I wasn't personally affected.

i was asleep when it happened. i heard my housemates talking loudly while the tv's volume was turned up to maximum. they were watching the news on tv about the attack. i was shocked and surprised and everybody was talking about it for several months and years even up to now.
