I was sitting in my sister’s house watching the today show and then they said a plane had hit the world trade center…confusion set in on t.v. and then the other plane hit making it clear that it was terrorism.

I was at my Mom’s house. And fresh from being sworn into the military. Some friends called me and told me to “just turn on the news.”
I couldn’t believe my eyes.

I have genuinely no memory of it whatsoever. I would’ve been six at the time. I didn’t live anywhere close.

I was working in a library. A colleague got a phone call from his girlfriend to turn on the news. So we logged into a computer and went to bbc news website. Still remember it vividly.

I was sick since many months, the beginning of my 12 years of sickness. I was lying on my bed and then my brother told me to come see the TV and then I saw the airplane!!!
I was working at my job as a special ed teachers aide.
The principal came into the classroom and called us into the Hallway to break the news.
I was shocked and very scared!
My house was close to the Towers.
About 20 minutes away!
I was in math class in six grade. They called us to the gymnasium to tell us an important anouncement and the rest was history.
Two days before we were at the beach and we saw the World Trade Center so clearly and we said wow the World Trade Center is so clear today. Then two days later It got attacked. I’m surprise that never f’d with me in psychosis

I had just started secondary school/high school and I came home and the news was on the tv. I really didn’t get the gravity of it. I was only 12.

I was in line waiting for my morning coffee before my freshman year of math class at Uni at the age of 18. My uncle called me and told me that the towers had been hit and that he was on his way to pick me up from campus.

I was sipping coffee trying to wake up so I could get the kids ready for preschool. I was very worried about the first plane, terrified by the second plane and then totally panicked by the Pentagon attack. I had just left the kids at daycare when they hit the Pentagon. I went right back in and got the kids so I could go home and pack to leave town and go to my mom’s house in the country figuring the terrorists wouldn’t get us there. I turned around to go back home to go to work after hearing the president on the radio tell the country the best thing to do is go to work as usual. But there was never going to be an “usual” ever again.
The next day I learned that my first niece was born on 9-11 two months early. I asked my brother how it felt to have one of the worst days be one of the best days and he said he wasn’t conflicted at all. It was the best day ever. She’s a lovely sweet sixteen today.

I was 13 at the time but i still remember it. I dont know why i thought it happened when i was older
I had just arrived at Sugar Mountain assisted living two months earlier. I was laying on a linoleum floor covered up with unused clothes because the air conditioning made the room I was in chilly. I didn’t know what had happened, but I could hear a voice on the tv in another room, and the guy speaking sounded very serious and very angry. I thought it was possible that I was paranoid, and nothing really had happened. The reason I was laying down was because I had been taking a bunch of cold medicine for the ephedrine in them, and I had ran out of pills. I listened probably for an hour, wondering if I was misperceiving the angry voice on tv, or if something really bad had happened. Then when I got up and went into the dining room people were talking about what had happened, and I realized what I had been perceiving was real. We went to downtown Talequah on our weekly outing, and I remember seeing the second plane hit the second tower on a tv inside Wal Mart. I tried to buy some more ephedrine pills, but my case manager caught me, which is a different story.
