9/11 - Where were you? Options

[Shiidou Hikaru]

People usually have very clear memories of tragic events like 9/11 so I'd like to hear about where everyone was and what you were doing at the time.



I first heard about it in the morning when I was at work and thought that someone screwed up and flew a small private plane into one of the buildings by mistake. But when I went and looked online and saw that it was a big commercial jet, it was like ...WTF? Then I saw the second one and the third at the Pentagon, it was just myself eyewitnessing pure madness. Everyone in the department went into the conference room and watched the disaster on CNN. Some people were crying, but I did my best not to. I stayed and watched in stunned disbelief until the second tower went down.

...in 2001, I would still wake up before school to watch morning cartoons...>>



So I planned to do that, and I got into the bed before the TV and turned it on...to find that the cartoon channel had news on it...I experimented with a few more channels to see what else was there, but every channel had exactly the same news report on it...



...which is when I realised that something was really wrong...that's all I remember...especially, since I live in California, and my relatives in New York don't work anywhere near the areas attacked...



...but...I do remember the insanity shown on news reports...horrifying...sickening...
