So, where were you on September 11, 2001?

I was sucking my thumb and shitting myself, not unlike a lot of SW users now.

It was my 3rd wedding anniversary. I was at work. I recall seeing it unfold on the tv in the break room. Terrified and heartbroken at what I was seeing.

Married for four months. On my way to work in a tiny office cramped with computer dudes.

All news websites were down but I found some Florida local news website with updates.

I was in 3rd grade. I remember hearing about it on the radio on the way to school. The principal came into class to talk about it.

I was getting ready for school when the radio urged listeners to turn on the TV. It was just after the first plane hit. I stayed home long enough to see both towers fall, hear about the Pentagon, and about flight 93. My history teacher commandeered one of the few TV's and we continued watching the news for another two hours of her class.
By lunch time my school had dozens of volunteers from religious organizations, therapists, and counselors available for anyone who might need it.

Just started primary school and thinking is the best thing ever and I am a big girl now :)
Haha

On a bus with 50 other soldiers when the plane hit the Pentagon and killed one of my fellow soldier's brother.

I just turned 11 and in 5th grade watching it go down in school.

In my dorm room at college. I got woken up by my roommate.

I was 33 years old and had been married for a little over 2 years, with a 11 month old baby. I was watching the morning news & had just finished my breakfast. I was about to get ready for work when I saw the 2nd plane hit. Called the office to tell them that I was gonna take a “personal day”. Stayed home & watched the news all day.

I was at home, calling my office to tell them I was going to be late. I was watching the news as I was talking to a lady a the office and the plane hit the building right as I was on the phone with her. I never made it to work. They closed the office that day and the people who were there went home.

Washington, DC. I had stopped off to see one of my brothers who had recently gotten married as I had left LA on the 10th and didn't have to be back in Manhattan until later that week.

2nd year of college, lived off campus
didn't realize anything was going on until
I saw an Empty main parking lot, signs everywhere
cancelling classes and I walked in to the cafeteria
just in time to see the first tower fall.

I was at home, woke up around noon mst time wanting to go n get the new SLAYER album God Hates Us All but all transportation was halted that day. Damn those fuckers for interrupting my Slayer day

I was at home on the computer playing a game or something. Roommate ran in from university asking if I heard what had happened (I hadn't). So it was a couple hours old by then.

I was 19,freshly immigrated to the west and this ukrainain guy i was hustling with tried to tell me about it but I couldn’t understand a word he was saying

I was engaged. I was precisely driving to work when it came over the radio about the first plane hitting the tower. We were glued to the TV for days afterwards

I was in India, and 11 years old. I heard my parents talking about it. But I didn't understand that the seriousness of the incident

School then got suspended for fighting a little jerk that put his hands on me

I was in my aunt's house when she came in and screamed "War! War! War broke out!" 😕

i woke turned the tv on thought what kinda die hard movie is this???damb its real

I was in PE class. The students and teachers were watching the news.

I guess I was in the house somewhere, only being 3 years old

On the phone, on hold.
Heard it on their radio

Driving my son to daycare and heard it on the radio.

I was home, off work that day. I watched the news from about 5:30 am, as was my habit, and so I saw it when the second plane hit. The reporter cursed on-air. Subsequently they bleeped it out, when they re-aired the footage, but I heard it live. One of my colleagues’ had a daughter working at the Pentagon, and it took awhile before they found out she was safe. I have a cousin who worked in the North Tower (Cantor Fitzgerald). Purely by chance, someone had asked to trade vacation time with him, so [b]he[/b] was home, too.

I was in elementary school. Came home in the middle of it to see the towers fall on live tv

Changed me. Changed us.
