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

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.

UW-Superior. Sleeping, until someone came banging on my door to tell me. I didn't have class until noon.

I was home, getting ready for work, I was in the Air Force. My boys were 3rd and 5th grade (both in the Air Force themselves now). I got them up, hugged them tight and got them to daycare, I was so torn. I did not want to leave them but I knew I had to get to work and that it was going to be a long busy day. Walking to the building I worked in I remember the eery silence. Normally there were engine runs and aircraft taking off and landing--that day nothing. My husband was also Air Force but temporary duty at another location. Mostly I remember the heavy sadness and being afraid.

Glad you were safe.

At work in the kitchen when I saw the second plane hit. Remembering that it was such a beautiful clear day how could the pilot not see the building. Only thought that for a second.

I was teaching my 2nd grade class at the time. The guidance counselors went around to all the teachers to quietly let us know we were on lockdown and briefly explained what was going on. We eventually got more information as children started to get picked up from school. We did have the tv on but it was a kids video... no one thought it was a good idea to show the kids the news that young. Because the phone lines were so jammed we had mom and dads and grandparents all in line to pick up the child and had no idea that the others were there (the lines were horrible). My dad's family is mostly in NY so it was tough waiting to hear from them. Everyone wound up being ok. The next day we had the kids draw pictures of the events to show their feelings. By then they had seen and talked to their parents about the events. It was so quiet without the planes.... It really does feel like just a year or two ago.

Sound asleep - was working Mids shift that week....................

Just like it was yesterday! I was a freshman in college. I was getting ready for class when the first fell and at my boyfriends when the second fell. We sat on his couch all day long and watched them play it over and over.

After that I remember worrying he would get called up to active duty, and about 3 months later I remember friends leaving for Afghanistan.

I live in the Pacific time zone so I was in my kitchen getting breakfast to prepare to go to work. A horrible horrible occurrence that most of us watched unfold on television.

I was in English class when the first plane hit. Most of our teachers turned on the television sets that were in all of our classrooms. We all watched the second plane hit during History class. We were so confused because at first we thought that it must be a another replay of the first plane hitting. It just didn't make sense that both buildings could have been hit, especially by two different planes. When I finally realized what was happening, I still couldn't make sense of it. I'm not sure anyone could, really.

I was on my way to work in DC. I heard about the first tower hit just as I was getting on the subway. I thought it was a joke... or maybe just a mistake. I didn't hear about the second hit until after I got to my desk. Everyone sorta came out of their offices and cubicles to see what was happening on CNN. That's when we heard about the Pentagon. There was so much confusion and chaos about what was happening. There were a lot of false reports of the Capital burning. We all wanted to get home but everyone was evacuating DC. The subways were jam packed and there were a lot of folks saying that there were possible attacks that could happen underground. I called home to check on things and my mom was hysterical telling me to get out of DC. My aunt was yelling at me to get out because the Pentagon was on fire. My fiancee was out in Denver and I couldn't get in touch with her because all cell phones were busy. When I finally got in touch with her, she told me she wanted to come home. My cousin was on 395 and was stuck in traffic when the plane hit the Pentagon. I finally managed to hitch a ride with a coworker to go back to my fiancee's place in Silver Spring. Traffic didn't move much and I remember my coworker driving on the sidewalk to get around some idiots. When I finally got home, I continued talking to my fiancee to get her back home. Rental car, train... whatever. She ended up having to fly and she was scared. I told her that if anything happened to the plane, she should fight.
