Because of timezone differences, I was in the middle of watching a documentary about the "rumble in the jungle" fight and it cut away to the breaking news.

I was in Nassau County, NY.....at a doctor appointment and at home.
One of the people who lost his life was someone I’d known since he was 6 years old....he was 30 when he died., and had recently had his first child.

I was working at the university in a dorm and the coordinator came out and said that a plane had gone into one of the Twin Towers, he saw it on the TV in his office. I followed him back into his office area and watched just as the 2nd plane went into the building. I looked at him and said “That’s not an accident, that’s terrorism”.

In my office near a NASA center. Soon after the second plane hit, we gathered in the conference room for prayer: Christian, Jew, Muslim, Buddhist, Hindu, and others.

@exexec Cool. Im from the area so I was wondering if it was JSC.
I almost applied for a job ( medical) there once but I ended up getting hired at another place first.
Thats a nice memory.

Overseas at the time. A bud of mine was in Tower 1. He’d been offered a job on the 95th floor earlier that year he’d turned down. If he’d taken it he’d probably would have died there

@stratosranger He would have been directly hit.

I woke up late that morning. I had worked overtime the night before. The radio host was talking about an airplane that had hit the World Trade Center. I got up and turned on the TV and watched the second airplane hit the other tower. Then I went to work.

On holiday in "centre parks" The other time I was there was 1987 when a massive hurricane hit the UK. I decided it's best I avoid there as a holiday destination!
Roadsterrider · 56-60, M
I was sitting in my home, watching the news after getting the kids up and moving on the way to school. I was watching the news as the second aircraft hit the WTC.
I was at work but I saw it on the news that morning. My hub's uncle actually called us to tell us to watch the news.
