I was at work also. We have speakers throughout the plant. I was working on a compressor and I heard something about a plane hitting a building. Went in the operators office, turned on the tv, and just like you said we saw the second plane hit. Made me sick. It was a sad day. My grandpa told me that I will never forget it just like he never forgot Pearl Harbor.

yeah i was at work too.i went in the lobby and saw it on tv. that just goes to show you how much society has changed. ya know when J.F.K was killed, everybody was sent home from school and work to be with their families.the whole country was on alert, during a national tradegy and, every body was like just keep working.and not to be mean to any race or gender of people, but those freakin hardcore islam fundamentalists think they were put on this earth to hurt innocent people. hell they are even attacking their own people. freaks. i would like to put my banshee on bin ladens head and dump the clutch on him and burn my mud machines down bald on his face! lets go take their country over and use thier dunes. i am sure the tree huggers wont care where we ride over there.

I was standin in my living room, in my underwear, contemplating taking a shower. Thought I'd turn on the tv and catch a little news. One tower was burning and then I saw the other tower get hit and thought, "Jesus, somethins goin on, cause theres no way that two pilots could be that shitty, on the same day, in the same place. Turned out the pilots were better than I thought they were.

I was taking a hazmat tech class that day. Needless to say 90% of us in the class had to grab our stuff and get down to one of the FD stations for assignments.

I remember getting home early the next day from pulling a 18hour shift. Walking down to the mailbox to mail some letters and in awe of how quiet the neighborhood was. Nobody was outside like they usually were, dogs didn't seem to wanna bark, hell I think I saw2 cars driving at 9 in the morning. Utterly surreal.

Damn... I was in highschool when it happened.. My sophmore year. I remember walking out of weight lifting and one of my friends came up to me and said, "Did you hear what happened in New York?" I went to my next class (spanish class) and they turned on the news for about 2 mins then shut it off and wouldnt let us watch it..

I was in high school, senior year at that. The whole thing was happening, and no one knew. The administrators told the teachers not to tell, so as not to cause a problem. Naturally, many of the teachers disagreed, and told us. Some classes started watching the coverage on their in class tvs, and then the principal made an announcement to shut off radios and TVs in all classes. It sucked to have that major of a catastrophy happening, and being helpless to find out more about it.

I was on Temporary Duty (TDY) to Taszar Hungary when the planes hit. We were on an exercies so when i left my wife in england i couldnt tell her where i was going. We had no phones and no internet to contact friends and family. So while all this was going on in the states i was stuck in Hungary. I heard about it on a radio after getting off a 14hr shift launching and recovering Aircraft for Combat Search and Rescue missions(CSAR). Needless to say, but after the planes hit we started a huge redeployment to get everybody and everything back to the bases they belonged too so they could deploy for OIF. We were playing with army special forces, and you know they were damn near the first ones in theater after the attacks.

I was in my 8th grade science class. My principle got on the intercom and asked all students to remain in that class for the rest of the morning and watch the news. My teacher had to leave because she was crying and i'll never forget how we all just sat there shocked that something like that could happen. :shrugani:
