Do you remember where you were on 9/11/01?

I was in my mom and dad's living room watching The Today Show packing to leave that afternoon for a semester of study abroad in London. (My first ever flight.) I was actually watching when the 2nd plane hit. I remember sitting there not believing it. I have a cousin who lived in London at the time who was frantically trying to call me/my folks because she didn't know what flight I was scheduled to be on. (And all the phone lines were tied up for hours.) I called United to see if my flights were going to be affected: "delayed a couple of hours probably." Within 10 minutes of that call all flights were grounded. My eldest brother, mom and dad all came home from work and we watched TV until lunch when my whole town (it felt like - it's small) was at the restaurant. Not many people were talking, there were hardly any cars on the roads. We were like a ghost town. Does not feel like 13 years. I can perfectly well imagine it like it was yesterday - heck, like it was this morning even.

On the way to pay a traffic ticket at the courthouse. Saw the police stations rolling out tanks, and the courthouse was closed.

On my way to government class. Heard the news from a friend I passed by and thought it was a weird joke.

The thing I remember most about that day was the strange quiteness...I had to work at my after school job that night and had to turn the radio off on the way because I just couldn't listen any more...it was like the world around me stopped. No people or cars out...downtown that is usually bustling was just totally quiet. It felt like I was the last person on earth.

I was in 8th grade choir class and we had no TV, so we listened to the radio. I didn't realize what exactly had happened until my mom let us watch the news that night (we weren't usually allowed to watch TV).

I'm on the Best Coast, so the day was just starting, I was coming down the stairs and dad poked his head around the corner and said "I think we're at war."

First couple periods of school were pretty quiet and involved a lot of TV.

I was in 4th grade, I remember sitting in the classroom, and the principal came on the intercom telling the teachers to turn on their televisions. I was only 9 at the time, so the whole situation was a little overwhelming and too much to take in, more than I could understand. But it's something that I will never forget.

wow, I feel old now. I was in 10th grade at the time.

Ditto. I was in the 11th grade!

I was 26 and raising 3 kids! Still seems like yesterday though

Yes.. getting ready for a fitness class my freshman year of college.

I was in first grade sitting in class, we watched the twin towers on the television. Our teacher was crying but we didn't realize the extent of the issue because we were only 6!

I was in the last path train from NJ into the WTC. So, I saw the whole thing from the sidewalk and ran before it collapsed to the nearest subway station and headed to Brooklyn, NY.

I was in Lemoore, CA...started my day by taking over what we Navy folks call a "duty day" as the Command Duty Officer (Commanding Officer's represenatative for the day). The whole base was in chaos setting extra security and closed all traffic into the base. I made it to my office just in time to see the second plane strike the Twin Towers...I still remember it vividly.
