Sitting at home watching it unfold on my 55" Philips LCoS hdtv....remember when big screen HDTV's were huge boxes? lol Yeah it was very surreal and my first child was born 11 months after it happened so it certainly had a massive impact.

Almost none of those old projection TVs were "HD."

Probably somewhere being epic.

Some little ghetto hottie made your tower explode?

I was in grade 10 if I recall. First year in the new school. I remember someone mentioning something about a plane hitting a building called the world trade center in New York. The details were very vague, I'm not even sure where he heard it from given we had been in school since the morning. I pictured a small twin engine plane and the pilot lost control somehow, or perhaps some kind of malicious thing, but I pictured no more than a few people dead and a couple broken office windows and cubicles. Nothing more dratic than that.

Throughout the day more people talked about it but nobody really knew what really happened, it was all speculation. The Pentagon was also mentioned. Teachers would not let us talk about it because it was disturbing class. Finally, end of day arrives, I got home and put it on the news and realize exactly what had just happened, and just how big these buildings were, and the fact that they actually collapsed. My parents got home and had heard more about it at work since they had TVs up and everything and we watched the news together most of the night. Also got notice that we had an emergency service at our church to pray for those that were affected and family of those affected.

There was also the plane in Pennsylvania, I think at this point they were still trying to find it, or maybe not, I can't recall.

It was pretty surreal watching it over and over every time they showed the planes go through. I'd say that for at least a month after I was still glued to the news just to follow everything such as the start of the Afghanistan war.

i remember this from a collateral damage effect and agreed with it.

I was putting together my schedule for the day, had the tv on in my office and CNN did a breaking news thing, Plane Hits World Trade centre. I ended up watching tv all day and cancelling my appointments.

It was actually kind of funny how people reacted right at the start, when the 2nd plane hit, I think it was live on tv, my first thought was "Holy Crap! What a Coincidence" Nobody was talking Terrorism.

When the towers were burning, people started jumping. News anchors started theorizing that terrorist got off the planes and were throwing them out the windows. *facepalm*

Then like 6 hours after that with all the planes grounded, a fighter jet flew over the scene and people started screaming again like they were being attacked Pearl Harbour style.

Grade 10 science.... we have this thread every year.

 

[chimaxi83]

I sas at home, and had just finished some premarital, teenage, heathen sex. Turned the TV on and saw the breaking news.

 

[JulesMaximus]

Ironically, I was in this house getting ready for work in the morning. Which is where I'll be tomorrow morning.

First day of recruit training at MCRD San Diego.

 

[SSSnail]

I remember 9/11, and remembered, but I feel that the terrorists may have won.

 

[MrColin]

Hard to believe a dumbass like this was the mastermind of 9/11.

I heard about it on the radio, then turned on the TV and watched the second plane hit. Called my brother who was in the NG reserves and told him not to report for duty anymore as our gov't was going to use this as an excuse to slaughter brown skinned peasants halfway around the world (again).

The terrorists have won.

 

[EMPshockwave82]

I was in my speech class in the basement of Coleman Hall at Eastern Illinois University. I got home and put a pot of coffee on and woke up my roommate when I turned the TV on. We started watching about 10 minutes before the first building collapsed.

 

[Murloc]

I was sleeping since I found out the next morning.

9/11/1973 never forget

 

[rasczak]

I just got in to work, we watched for about an hour, then were told to go home. I think I went surfing after that.

 

[LookBehindYou]

I was in the Air Force at the time. That morning I had just got back up on PRP. After watching it unfold I went into the squadron grabbed a buddy, picked up our weapons, picked up a vehicle, and then patroled the missile field. I worked 20 some odd days straight working about 14 hrs or so a day. Fun times.

 

[ViviTheMage]

I was in social studies, middle school

 

[Farang]

When it happened I was getting ready to go to school. At the bus stop some girls mentioned NYC getting bombed or something and I thought they were joking. Later at school I overheard something similar in the hall and thought that was odd. I found out what happened in 1st period English class, freshman year, we sat and listened to Peter Jennings on the radio. I won't forget sitting in disbelief as he said both towers had fallen and and were completely destroyed.. he was so absolute in his description it just seemed unreal

 

[Harrod]

I was at college, and was pretty oblivious that anything was going on, other than most of the classes being almost empty. I didn't find out anything until around 1 pm that afternoon.

 

[WubblyBubbly]

I was sitting in class...

 

[Saint Nick]

I was the new kid at a high school freshman year. Totally sucked. We were in earth science class making no-bake cookies for some reason. The English teacher ran in and said something about a plane crashing into the WTC. We turned on the tube and watched as the second one crashed, and subsequently watching the towers fall. What a surreal experience. So long ago. It was a beautiful day in small town Nebraska.
