I can't believe it's been ten years since 9-11. My question to you all is do you remember where you were on September 11, 2001 when you heard the news about the terrorist attacks? I was at work when I got a phone call from a co-worker that said a plane crashed into one of the world trade center towers. I thought it was an accident. But then when the second plane hit and then hearing about a plane hitting the pentagon I literally got a chill up my spine.
 


In my 5th grade class. I remember peers in my class getting phone calls from their parents and them crying. Went home early that day.
 
I was in my apartment (with my then fiance). I was sleeping and she woke me up in a panic to watch the news. It was her birthday. And definitely a day I will never forget.
 
Was in social studies class in 7th grade, heard it over the PA. After class I remember one of my friends saying that Japan probably attacked us.

Then I did nothing but watch the news on TV for a solid week. Get home, put on the news, watch until bedtime.
 
I was 19 and playing Everquest.. in Sol B at the time. I had the audio turned off on the TV and I was wondering what movie was on because it looked real and I didn't remember seeing it before.

Nyan 11, never forget.
 
9th grade English. Some girls were freaking out thinking our area was next since we're an hour from SRS National Lab/Nuclear site.
 
I was in my first job making slot machines then we spent the rest of the day around the computer watching news clips on line.
 
You fuckers are young as shit. It was my day off work and my girlfriend and roommate started yelling at me to turn on the tv. Woke up, watched the towers fall, went back to bed. Woke back up like five hours later and had to go with her to wait in line for gas... took three fucking hours. Went camping the next day because work was called off for a week.

6th grade. Learning about Pangea that day.

Was a bit scared my dad was working in that area (since he works in Manhattan, but I didn't know where,) but very quickly learned he was completely fine and on his way home.

Being in nyc the next few weeks was interesting. Saw fighter jets pretty routinely.

Glued to tv news coverage for weeks.
 
i came back home from a interview and offer letter. Got my first job i still remember. It was around 6 pm and was taking a quick nap before i meet my friends for a night out. Then my friends came over yelling about the attack, switched on TV and we never went out. We started calling all friends in US to check if they are safe.

Can't believe its been 10 years now
 
I woke up to the radio blaring. The announcer was say "If you're just waking up, I have some terrifying news for you..."

I went to work but spent the whole day sitting in front of the TV. No-one moved, no-one did anything. We all just sat there watching replay after replay.

Never forget...
 
I am living in Europe. I remember that my mom called me to go home. All TVs and Radios were broadcasting the 9/11 events. Very sad...
 
I was in 11th grade English class. Third period that day was Pre-Calculus, and was also the period I had lunch in. We had a substitute in that class, and a bunch of people didn't come back to class after lunch because they were watching the news on TV or whatever about what had happened. They got detention the next day because of it. Random memory there.
 
I was about a mile away, had a great view. It was a cool show until people started crying. Was at the top 24 hours b4 it fell.
 
I was asleep at home when my mom woke me up in a panic.

I remember it very clearly. My mother was in charge of emergency operations in my city, which is home to the Vancouver airport. All flights were grounded, so needless to say it was a huge task figuring out what to do with all the stranded people.

I helped out a bit with one of the emergency centers where stranded people were staying. We converted a hotel`s lobby and conference rooms into a kind of evacuation center with cots to sleep on etc. Most people were really showing their good sides because they realized the gravity of what had happened. But I remember the hotel manager refusing to allow us to bring in bulk food to feed everyone and that everyone had to pay to use the hotel restaurant instead. My mother had a good go at that bitch (and won, when the other hotel staff threatened to walk out on the manager). And also, we were offering people cellphone usage to call their loved ones back home and let them know their situation. Most people kept it to a minute or two but some people disappeared with the phones and talked long distance for like 2 hours. The city government got billed thousands of dollars in long distance charges. Some people are dicks, no matter what situation.
 
Freshman in college in an early morning computer class. Watched it all unfold online before class was over and then went back to the dorm to watch the rest of it. Classes were cancelled the rest of the day, I guess because we are less then 2 hours from DC and NYC is about 4 hours away. Still crazy to think about it and I know I will never forget that day.
 
Hanging out at home online, just as I'm doing now. I had a dental appointment that day in downtown NY, less than a mile away from the WTC. Had I left for NYC I might have been caught up in the danger and hysteria from the towers falling. Also, people outside of NY may not recall that Manhattan became something of a war zone that day. Bridges and tunnels in and out of Manhattan were closed to traffic during a security lock down, and they stayed this way for at least 12 hours.

A couple of weeks later I went to the city for some reason, and saw the burning pit and the National Guardsmen protecting the area. All the iconic images were right in front of me. Man, it was all so crazy.
 
I was home sleeping at my apt, still looking for work. My girlfriend at the time called me to wake me up after the first tower got hit.
 
In my office. Didn't have much streaming video like we have today. So I went home and brought in a tiny tube TV and we had about 20 people crowded in my small office watching the news. A day I will never forget.
