Where were you on 9/11 when it happened?


I was sleeping. I live on west coast, so 3 hours behind when it happened. The rest of the day was a bit of blur, but I was in 8th grade and remember everybody glued to the TV screens.

In a Friendly's restaurant with my wife and nephew. I walked up to the cashier to pay my bill and he asked if I heard a second plane hit the towers. I had no idea what he was talking about.

reply

I was in one of the airplanes then parachuted out on time just before it hit one of the towers.

I came home from school and saw it on TV, when I seen live the second plane crush the second tower I was sure it was a replay of the first crash. It was a shocking and unprecedented event in world history.

reply

Well, I had only just gotten home from school and was watching TV (I think "Oprah") with my mum.
Then a news text about the planes crashing started crashing over the TV screen.

Spanish class. We were moved into the classroom next door and watched it on the news.

At work. It was late morning as I recall (I'm in the UK). Walked into the office and there it was on the TV.
