9/11: Where where you.

9 11 was my cousins birthday, I was with her walking around a small town.

I was in bed sleeping. I was in first year HS then. Due to the time zone difference, it was already Sept 11 10PM here in the philippines. I remember that bight, It was hot, so i slept in my parents room cause they turn on the A/C every night. I was with my other 2 siblings on a mattress on the floor. I woke up because my mum was worried. I can feel tension in the room and my mum got out of bed to turn on the TV (she got a text from someone that the US was under attack). I didn't move and tried to sleep again (i have no idea what was happening yet) then she let out a gasp. I asked her why she's up so late, she told me that the US is under attack. The twin towers was attacked. First an airplane hit one of the towers and then just a few seconds ago, the other tower was hit. Being drowsy and annoyed from being disturbed I asked her "so what?", panicking she told me that it could result into world war 3. I can't remember what happened next but I did hear something about the pentagon. I had weird sleep that night. Something about war and me in the military. haha. The next morning and following weeks, we were all ears on what's happening. We wanted to know every detail, if the US would declare war, if US would ask help from allies. Our local news would just show a few local news and mostly cover what the US was up to. It was scary

I was sitting on my ninth grade science biology class. The boy next to me was trying to explain so theory. And of course I had no clue what he was talking about then the planes started hitting. I live in Ohio and I do not know anyone from new York but my condolences go out to the family's who were effected.

During 9/11 I was asleep. I only knew what happened when I woke up and my brothers were talking about something on the news. They were talking about a jet that hit a building so I got interested. I went in front of the TV and watched. I though I was watching a clip from an upcoming movie.

I was at home getting ready for my job at a mall. My sister called and, full of panic, she said: "Turn on the tv. We are at war!" I was rivited to the set for as long as I could. At work, all the televisions were tuned to ground zero. Overhead signs carried the words: "America under attack!" I think a more appropriate question would be: "How are you doing today?" Although I try to keep it out of my mind I am just as full of rage as I was 10 years ago.

I remember it well. Took my son to school as normal and then went to work in a local pub. I did everything to open up then when we opened i was asked to put the tv on. Spent the day in shock with a pub full of customers while the tv was on showing the news unfolding. After work i was keen to go and pick up my son and get home and we talked about it all the way home as they had heard about what was happening in their junior school. We got home and sat watching the news for hours. We were both in deep shock and it was a very sad day.

On September, 11, 2001 I was out of work and heard the entire broadcast on tv. All day for days. I was home early morning and late in the day. It was awful. I heard the stories of individuals who barely escaped or just happened to not be in the buildings, or ones that jumped. It was very sad.

On 9/11/2001 I was heading back from a doctr's appointment. I first heard some of what was going on my car radio. When I got home I saw the the footage of the planes hitting the Twin Towers and the towers going down on the tv. I then went to work. Everyone was in disbelief! We had the radio on in the kitchen and the tvs were on in the dinning areas. I work at a small college and I also remember wondering when the school would close,if at all,that day because of what happened. We did later in the day. Like just about everyone else was in shock and was for weeks after!

Hey sweetaprllynn, I was in 4th grade in September 11, 2011. I remember the teacher in the class next door running over. She spoke to Mr.Grudin (my teacher) briefly and then left. He turned on the tv and there it was. We all watched the second building go down. My best friend at the time was so upset, her mom was in the building. (She got out in time). Meanwhile all I could think about was my stepdad and if he was ok. He had been on a plane heading to New York. Luckily, they landed in Pennsylvania. I only watched a little more before they were calling me to the office. My mom had come to pick up my brothers and I. Being as I was only in 4th grade, I didn't really understand what was going on and why it was happening. All I know is that I was very scared.

I used to have 13 years and I remember I was coming back of school and on my way of home, I saw in a TV that was showing the World Trade Center falling. So, in my school we didn't had the news of the airplanes that were hijacked, so, I only went to know about what happened a few hours later.

I was a high school student that time and it was night already in the philippines in our house around 11pm my mother came home after work and turned the TV on because she was aware of what happened. I watched closely to the news and the scene was horrifying. The news keeps on repeating the video of 2 planes that struck the twin towers. I see people jumping from 90th floor since there's no way for them out. I was really shocked and I can't believe it was really happening. At my age those days i'm too young to completely understand those events but I know for sure it was not good. I've been aware of terrorist attacks in our country but what happened in 9/11 was something no one would ever though would happen. I know how technologically powerful america during those days but on that very day they were caught by the terrorist completely off guard..

Sorry, I can't recall where I was. I don't think I knew about the attack until the following day. It was a shock to me. I didn't expect such things to happen. Incidentally, I bought a book (Can't remember the title) a few yrs ago that mentioned about the attack and stories of people who survived.

I was a thousand miles away from the place where the Twin Towers fell, in Progress Village Middle Magnet School of the Arts in Tampa, Florida, on the Mournful Morning (my nickname for September 11, 2001). We were reading a social story when all of a sudden the principal (via the PA) broke the news. I was stunned by it, but shrugged it off a bit as if it were a joke. My parents were in the waiting room of a cancer clinic for Grossvatti's chemo, and saw the towers burning on TV (they thought it was a movie). It wasn't until I received a letter given to all students and the channel surfing when I went back home that the harsh reality settled in. My parents and I were planning to go to New York to see the towers, but the attacks that day made us regret it because terrorists razed them. I wished that should have remained in my hometown of Clifton, New Jersey, near the city of Paterson (where I was born), from that day forward.
