yep, highschool, 2nd hr, world lit or something like that

I was just waking up. I left the tv on before I went to sleep and when I woke up my tv was on FOX and started seeing all the footage. damn, time fly's seems like it was just two to three years ago..not 6.

got woke up to my phone going nuts

DEA (posts here) rang my shit untill i got up and said "man someone better be fuckin dien, dead, or they will be"

he shut me the fuck up and tuned me the fuck in

like it was yesterday

I woke up that morning and read about it on GFY then turned on the news and I was totally shocked

It was late at night here in Australia and of all places I was here on GFY when I read a post saying a plane had crashed into the World Trade Center. Within minutes, the Net had slowed to a crawl as the world realised what had occured. I turned on the t.v and watched till the sun came up as the horror happened before my eyes.

My wife woke me up just after the first plane hit - she'd seen it on CNN. I went downstairs just in time to see the second plane hit live.

I stayed glue'd to the TV all day in total shock and disbelief.

Getting ready to go to my 9:00 class. It was surreal watching that shit.

Listening to Howard Stern.

My mom called and said "we're under attack!" and I thought she meant my little brother was giving her a hard time. Then, she said it again with a tone in her voice that made me almost shit my pants.

Then, I turned on the TV.

:(

i was in paris... just walked back into my hotel room, flipped on the tv and it showed the first tower burning. i thought it was a bomb... couldn't understand the news adn didn't think to try to find CNN or BBC... my wife thought it was a movie and kept saying to change the channel as i just stood there and watched sort of stunned. then we both watched the second plane hit.

working at Honeywell...an old guy ran by and said something like 'They're attacking New York, one towers gone...' and ran off..

I was like WTF? and went back to work

I was working in the office and screaming at my computer because it was working so slowly. In fact it was the Internet that was slow.

My Mother who lives in LA phoned me to ask if I knew what was happening in NY. Tried to login to my home page of BBC and it timed out, like most news sites. Turned on the TV and was dumbstruck.

My alarm was going off and through my sleep I could hear a voice talking about a plane crash. I hit snooze and through my sleep again I heard voices talking and caught the vague idea that some tragedy had occurred.

When we got up for the morning and heard the news reports, we weren't really clear on what was going on, so I logged online and hit CNN.com. The page just had one paragraph of text at the top that explained what was known so far, stating that updates would come as they had them.

We kept hitting refresh as the story developed. It was shocking.

A lot of instructors and people weren't at college that day. A lot of people had relatives there.

I was in China, Guang Zhou. Me and my buddies were having a kind of a beer party and the TV was on but nobody actually watched it. And then we saw the Twin Towers smoking and thought it was a movie or some stupid joke... When we realized what happened everybody was absolutely sober.

My first year of college I was in an early morning computer class. Checked my mail on yahoo and then I saw the pictures. I thought it was an advertisement for a movie or something at first...

I was pulling an all-nighter. I happened to go to GFY in time to see Sarah's post about the first plane hitting.

I turned on the TV and watched the second plane hit.

I was standing about a mile away watching it happen first hand.


It was a beautiful day too. Sunny, warm. It looked like a Michael Bay film in real life. Kinda surreal.

Where I was standing was between to the Manhattan and the Brooklyn Bridge so I remember seeing all the people that worked in the World Trade area running home. People in business suits sprinting like Ben Johnson... sweating... scared for their lives.

I also remember a huge calm sweeping over the city. Later that day and for several months after we were all pretty unified and fairly reserved. People outside of the city were taking it much harder than we were.

I think everyone inside of NY had a feeling of, "I can't believe they did that to us. Damn. I thought we were untouchable." It wasn't really about terrorism for us as much as the shock of losing the people and the buildings. The buildings and the area affected meant a lot to most of us in the city because it was such an important part of life for a lot of us. I can only compare it to the feeling of losing an arm.

People in other parts of the country were all gung ho, "lets find these bastards and kill them!" and others were worried about terrorist threats. Not us. What's funny is we weren't thinking the same way and WE were the ones directly affected.

This was where I watched the whole thing happen:

This is basically the same vantage point when the world trade was still around.

I returned to the college from the dinner and saw n tv what happend

I was up late in Tasmania (Australia) watching CNN and couldn't believe what I saw ..... I watched CNN and Fox for the next 72 hours in disbelief!

Think free, live free! :thumbsup

I worked about 20 blocks away at the time. I was getting off the subway in the morning to one of the most beautiful days I can remember. I didn't know it at the time, but it had just happened a few minutes earlier and there was some commotion in the area and firetrucks zooming by me, heading downtown.

I found out from the front desk girl when I got into the office. My company had something big going on that day, so my Jew boss didn't want to acknowledge what was going on and told everyone to get back to work. We were like "fuck that" and stayed glued to the TV in the break room. Even after the we watched the towers go down, it still took him a half hour before it set in that the world needed to stop for a while, and he sent us home.

Getting home back to Connecticut from Manhattan was another adventure I won't get into.

I was in Connecticut.

Turned on CNBC to check my stocks. No ticker. Just a shot of where the towers had been and scrolling updates that said stuff like "World Trade Towers destroyed" and "Air traffic grounded, planes still in the air."

On a PATH train platform in Harrison, NJ. I had an unobstructed view of the towers. That is a day neither one of us will ever forget....:(

I was in the tram, in Amsterdam going home after college. Everybodies phones rang simultaniously. It was surreal.

The whole tram went bzrk! People panicked becasue we have a WTC in Amsterdam as well and it took about 5 minutes to realise that it was the ones in the USA that have been hit.

I went home asap and watched the rest on cnn.

i was all exited that day the router in my kitchen was blinking from my sites on adult check - i got the call to turn on the tube

Sophomore year of college, headed to the VA Office where I worked and heard the news, went to the student center, watched the rest.....

Very very sad day....

I had just met my wife, and she thought I was a complete nut because I was spouting about a new world war and an attack in NYC and so on. It was only our second date :)

I was working in my office at home drinking my first cup of coffee for the day. I had CNN on the TV so I could listen to the morning news as I worked.

I heard them say that a plane had struck the WTC, so I started watching. When I saw the second plane hit I knew something was terribly fucked up.

My emotions switched between sadness, fear and anger as more details became available. I wanted those who were responsible to pay for what they had done. I am still waiting for that to happen.

I was working at a hotel in Las Vegas very close to the airport and I remember thinking it was a really quiet morning, no plane noise on my way to work. As soon as I got in someone said "Did you hear? We're under attack!" It was right around the time the second plane hit.

We spent the next week and a half with a full house because no one could catch a plane home. Some people had family in NY that worked at the WTC and didn't know if they were alive or dead. It was a crazy time.

I was at work when I heard the news

I was at Cape Cod.

I was celebrating my birthday, but when I heard I just went home and stayed glued to the tv.

Why don't you just search for "do you remember where you were X years ago?"? I'm sure you'll find all those other threads from the past years.

And Yes, I remember. I was at the schoolbus on my way home when I heard about it.

do we really need this thread every damn year?

I was on a stairmaster.

I had just got into my car coming home from College and heard a breaking news report on the radio. I dropped my friend off at his house then drove round to mine and watched it on the TV.

back then I had just started in porn and still worked full time at a 2nd shift job. So i was out late at the bar the night before and didn't get up till i was going to work. I found out walking to my car and then watched it a lot at work :(

We all know where the President was...

Six years later, Bin Laden is still mocking us, while we remain in a quagmire of a war in a country which had little to nothing to do with 9/11, thanks to our Idiot-In-Chief and his war profiteering friends.

I find it hard to believe that any US citizen can't remember, and I'm sure others around the world remember as well.

same here, read Sarah's post and flipped on cnn and caught everything.

no one will forget where they were, I was cooking pancakes for the girls after making about 10 videos the night before. No sleep and burning 90% of them when it came on the news. 6 years later I still burn them too

gorman house detoxification unit, Kings Cross, Australia. Never looked at life the same since.

I was asleep when it happened. I got up sometime after noon and turned on the TV. The words "America under attack" were on the screen with video of building rubble. The ticker at the bottom was listing various major cities for something. For a few minutes I thought we were being bombed all over by another country.

U.S. MILITARY DEATHS (IRAQ): 3,774
U.S. MILITARY WOUNDED (IRAQ): 27,767
IRAQI CIVILIAN DEATHS (MIN): 71,259
'EXCESS' IRAQI DEATHS: 655,000

Iraq was not responsible for 9/11...Bin Laden is still at large:

Where were you Nico? :)

yeah nico, where were you?

I was 15 then.

I was unemployed - with a job interview that afternoon (by which I secured a job, as a heads up) - and, for some odd reason, had fallen asleep on the couch with the T.V. on.

I woke up to the news broadcast, and witnessing plumes of smoke emanating from the Trade Center buildings.

I thought I was watching some Tom Clancy Novel made into a mini-series before I flipped the channels and found the same news on every station.

I remember I spent the rest of the day in a state of semi-shock... my rommate took the day off, and aside from that job interview, we just spent the day talking - later meeting up with a larger group of friends to do the same.

And, like I've said before, if it wasn't for GWB being our Commander in Chief, I probably would have joined the army/airforce the next day.
