re: Where were you on 9/11/01?

Driving to work when the first hit. Kind of laughed about it. I thought it was a cessna. Found out it was much larger. Boys wanted us to stay and work the day. I told him to frick off and went home. Arrived just in time to see the second plane hit.

Walows outside later and was amazed at the quiet.

found out about it during the lunch break at work. A lot of guys were pissed off beyond belief.

i refused to believe until I saw it. I figured somebody had some misinformation about it and tried to move on the rest of the day.

when I got home I found out for sure and watched the coverage all night on TV in total disbelief.

thought a lot about the Firefighters and how brave they were/are.

Beaumont, TX, just getting off the night shift.

My best friend and I used to live in an old white apartment/house about three blocks from the campus. I was asleep (hung over from partying) when I heard the apartment screen door slam hard. I got out of bed and was about to say something about him slamming the door when I noticed he looked distraught. He told me the world was changing as I slept. Shocked, we turned on the TV to watch the second plane hit. That night we decided that we would curtail our long term goals and join the military for four years. We are both still employed with the DoD and have no regrets.

Eagle Base in Bosnia-Herzegovina for SFOR 9.

Birmingham Allabama God forbid in a Sam's club store, how could anyone not remember where they were??

I was a freshman at LSU in my college algebra class. It ended at 9 and I went to the bookstore and fell asleep in a chair. I had political science at 12 and as I was walking to that class I heard people talking about something terrible that had happened but no one said what had actually happened. When I got to class the teacher came in and said in light of what happened this morning he was canceling class. I still didn't know what happened so I turned around and asked someone behind me who told me.

I was in Shreveport working. My brother kept coming by to let me know what was going on. Saw lots of fighter jets flying around that day. Could not wait to get home to watch the news.

Came out of the PATH station at Exchange Place, just across the river from the WTC, just after the first plane hit. I was in my office in Jersey City when the second plane hit.
