Where were You on 9-11?

I was at school when it happened. I found out from my bus driver, after school. I got home and my parents said they wanted to talk. I knew what it was about. I'm sure it wasn't easy for my dad, as he lived in New York City when he was in grad school.

We stayed in New York at that time. My husband's office was a little distance away from the twin towers. I came to India for a week to see my family. My husband witnessed the entire thing from his window. We panicked to see it in TV. I tried calling him but he could not be reached. I got a call later from him that he was safe. But he was so shocked. I could feel him shivering and crying on phone. It was so shocking. I could not get over it for a long.

I was newlywed back then. Just a month old then we’re about to go with my uncle to the province and spend our vacation with my family back then. We delayed our trip because of that and since we do have relatives in ny we tried calling them to be sure they were not near the site. Thankfully no one was! Although I had a cousin who was supposed to go there that day but was stopped because it happened already.

See my discussion... Such a sad and tragic day. L'Shana Tovah.

I was home cleaning when it happened.

@DianneN - Oh, my. 9-11. Such a scary day. Our oldest daughter had recently married. She and her husband were living in New Jersey, but she worked in Manhattan. She normally took the train to the World Trade Center, had breakfast with friends, and then took a bus to her office in Carnegie Tower where she worked as an Entertainment Financial Manager. Her company had recently moved their offices from the World Trade Center to Carnegie Tower. That day, she dropped her husband at his office in New Jersey, which had a view of Manhattan. Then, she remembered she had left some important papers at home, so she decided to take a later train. She ran home to get the papers and, from their home, she saw smoke rising in Manhattan. They both watched what happened from the New Jersey side of the river. However, it was hours before they could call anyone in the family to let us know that she was OK, so we were worried that she was in Manhattan while the Towers were coming down. It was terrifying when we could not get through to her. Many blessings on your Jewish holidays.

I was driving to work on that fateful day and when I heard this at first I was in disbelief then I burst into tears and couldn't stop crying all day.

I was in England, I was interviewed in Stratford on Avon by the BBC, what a shock it was to be away from home at a time like that.

I was waiting in the parking lot for my kids to come out of school. A teacher came out and said I had to go in and get the kids. I asked why since I was asleep when it happened And did not know what had happened. I told her I had to take the three kids from next door to. Their mother had no car to get them. Than I left with two more kids beside mine plus the neighbors because their mother was at work. Lucky I had a station wagon.

I was working in a assisted living facility as a medication tech when scenes of the attack came across the big screen television in the TV room next to the dining room at breakfast where I was assisting with morning meds as residents came up to the cart or those who had trouble remembering taking their meds to the table. Many at watching after breakfast the events unfold on that big screen and we had a hard time getting one resident tolieted and back to the table for lunch. A retired Navy Captain from WW2 with Alzheimer's who kept saying over and over "We"re at war"

It was my first year of teaching. I worked right across the river from the World Trade Center

@DianneN Dianne, Shana Tova and I have not been here either. I will be here today and tomorrow but have to go out both days and Friday after my chores. Sunday, my handyman is coming to to put up our succa and I am very excited. I love having one. We have a memorial for 9/11 here in Israel. I was here in Israel on that day and we also had something happen I think on that day.

I was at home watching the morning television show - then the terrible news came on.

I was still in school. This was very tragic

I was at home when it happened. My neighbor called me to tell me the first tower had been hit. I turned on the news and woke my husband up, who just happened to be off that day from work. We sat in our PJs nearly all day watching the TV. I did finally get dressed to pick my son up from school. He was in 5th grade at the time. My younger son was in Kindergarten but had not gone to school that day due to being sick. My husband and I sat there really in shock as the awful events continued to happen.

I just came home for the club after my tennis game. Turn on the TV and then head out to the kitchen area to open some doors and window.than back I saw the building with the smoke there.Thought that this was a movie.Heard the tragic news. I stood there dumfounded .No Not in our country that this can happen.Tears started to welled up and did not move. That was the saddest time of my life.I will not forget this.

I was in a meeting when someone burst in to tell us. We just thought it would have been a small plane so when we came out of the meeting and saw the carnage it ripped our hearts out! The horror was unthinkable it is a sight that will stay with me till the end of my days. It made me cry big time especially watching the documentary later by the two French guys who had been there for a year to film a fire in a high rise they were just about to wrap up and go back to France. It was horrific. RIP to all those poor innocent souls and to those still suffering the after effects.

I found out when I got to work that day. I didn't have the TV on at all in the morning. Such a horrific day.

it was dawn and i was asleep when my sister woke us up saying the world trade center was hit by an airplane. i immediately stood up and watched the fire.i also saw the second plane hitting the other skyscraper.

I was a kid back then.. I donot remember exactly.. But I have been at school then..
