Where were you the day the towers fell?

I think I was still asleep or I was up getting ready for school and my parents were watching and I were watching it on TV. 😬

I was sitting on my couch reading....when my friend called and told me to turn on the TV.....saying "We're under attack and my brothers in NY!"

I was in Munich shoppinbg with my family.....I saw it on a big screen in the Train Station I believe (I usually can*'t remember what I did more than two years back)

I was at school... In a boring class. Didn't find out until break didn't see anything about it until two three hours later when I came home... Unfortunally it was also the only thing I saw for four days on TV.

I was watching tv, and after getting bored of cartoons I started zapping...and then I saw the towers and the smoke, and I thought 'hey, here's a good movie'. Well, it wasn't so good...'cuz it was not a movie. After a while I heard the voice of the newsman. It just seemed so unreal that something like that had happened! 🙁

in school.

at work...one of the biggest "where were you the day the..." days in history...and i was putting cabbages on shelf

I just got out of school.My parents were watching it when i came home with my little brother.I didnt really understand or care,being eleven at the time.

I live In Toronto.
I was in grade nine French class when my home teacher came and talked to the other teacher. All the teachers got outside and were talking and then the principle came and told them to tell their classes. The teacher came and said the WTC was hit by a plane. People were wondering was it like the first bombing or was it more serious. We put on the radio and they said the WTC is falling. The teacher yelled "what the hell". Most of the class was stunned and i was like what the hell just happened. Most of the day the teacher tried to teach class but we got more news. Pentagon was hit. When we got that news the teacher said "guys you know those events that change history? One of those just happened." The US is under attack everyone thought. The 2nd tower fell and when that happened we were sent home an 2 hours early. Very few knew what happened until we went home where my grandmother (who does not watch news ever) was glued saying "the US is under attack." My dad came home and we all got glued to the TV for at least 6 hours. The video of the planes hitting the tower and them falling will never leave my head.

i was just about to leave for school when i saw it on TV.

then i went to school.

At school..I found out when I got home, about three hours later. I was thirteen then and my friends mum who was giving us a lift home said someone had flown a plane into the Twin Towers and as I had no idea what they were or the magnitude of it, I said "that was a bit stupid of them" ..and then I got home and saw it on TV and realised how terrible it was..

At home watching TV ,my mom started flipping through channels and thats when we saw it. I couldn't believe it these planes were flying strait into the twin towers.
I remember alot of that day.

I was in college algebra at 7 A.M

It was a 2 hour class, and after our mid break one of the other students came in and said an airplane crashed into the world trade center.

Everyone wanted to go see what was going on, but my stupid teacher didn't think it was going to be a big deal.

she said somethinglike- "well thats no reason for us to stop doing math" then the next class day she came back looking like an idiot and was like-
"well the midterm is post poned, due to this tragic event"

she wasn't a very smart lady.

I had actually just woken up. I was in NC at the time and had just rolled out from under someone I had met the night before. I snuck out of the house and jumped in my car to head home. I like to listen to talk radio in teh morning and had turned on the local new/talk station. I forget the banal topic they were disussing, but the host of the program interrupted the conversation and mentioned that reports were that a plane had hit one of the towers. At that point, reports were unclear and the host reported that it was most likely a prop plane. Of course, my first reaction was "what dumb-ass accidentally ran into the world trade center?!" By the time I had gotten to my house and turned on the TV, it was clear that it was no prop plane and that it was no accident. I believe that the seond plane had hit by that point. So, much like the rest of the country...I spent the rest of the day watching events unfold. So, I can remember very clearly watching the first tower collapse, live on tv.

The scary part for me, was that I had lived in NYC not too long before that and had been in the towers when my mother came to visit me. That was where she took this picture.

I was just headed to physics class when the towers were hit...we went to the teacher's lounge and listened to the radio the entire period...the first tower collapsed someitme around third period I think...English if I recall correctly

I was sleeping, it was my first semester of college so I didn't have school till like 12. My mom came in and said "we're under attack", I thought she meant that some people were trying to get into the house or something.

I turned on the TV and saw the second building fall. I didn't bother going to school that day, just watched the news. One of my friends came over and we discussed it.

I was at work... just arrived back at the store, went to the furniture department to sort out the deliveries for the day after, and went through the tv dept on the way... no-one was really watching, cos the volume was right down on all the sets, and they, like me, thought it was just some crap jingoistic American movie.... Then on the way home, I turned on the radio in the car, heard it on the news, and thought, that's funny... they were showiing a film about that earlier... then I twigged....

i remember hearing tons of fire engines and police cars all around, some passed by the block my school is on...and they just kept coming, i must of heard 20-30 different sirens for about 30 minutes pass by and undoubtedly some of those cars and trucks that i heard and the people in them never came back.
