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

Yes, working out and when I got in the car the radio was playing the emergency message and telling us not to drive anywhere...

I was actually out running during the first plane and the attack on the pentagon. My grandfather drove by and told me, but what he said made no sense to my run-addled brain. By the time I finished my cool-down, I had processed what he had said and got home and saw the second plane hit.

SEP 11 WAS BAD, AND A MARK IN HISTORY. A LOT OF PEOPLE DIED AND FAMILES SUFFERED.

however; america makes things such a big deal. DO YOU GUYS KNOW THAT THINGS LIKE THIS HAPPENS ALL OVER THE WORLD. PEOPLE DIE EVERY SINGLE DAY WITH THINGS LIKE THIS. SO IF 9/11 WERE TO HAPPEN IN A DIFFERENT COUNTRY THEY WOULDNT HAVE MADE IT AS BIG A DEAL AS THE AMERICANS.

i find it funny because americans are willing to go to war with other countries and **** up their land, but when a minor thing happens to them they all freak out. i guess that is karma.

and yes i am an american born girl but i do not agree with how our people think most times.

thanks.

Aren't you late for your ISIS meeting?

I will never forget... I was in thermodynamics class at college. someone ran in with the news and we watched it all unfold in the computer lab next door.

College in class, Political Science, will never forget.

In school, I was in like second grade, and people kept sending their kids home early, they were not allowed to tell us what was going on.

I was standing in my apartment living room watching the events happening. My husband saw the news and showed it to me before he went to work. It was shocking and sad, and I marveled that such a thing could happen in the USA. It was a very sad event and my husband and I make an effort to watch 9/11 videos each year to honor and remember what happened that day. It was very shocking and sad, and my husband felt the pain of it at the time. He says they brought out a TV at work so you could keep up on the events throughout the next week. For myself, the tragedy of it didn't hit me in its full strength until later, as we were dealing with a the impending birth of a baby with medical issues. (We were dealing with a personal tragedy and heartache, BTW, our daughter is doing great after much trial/lots of medical stuff.) That tended to absorb me at the time. However, I did avidly watch the events on the news and celebrated with the world when our soldiers conquered/won their way into Iraq in less than a month! Of course, the war on terror has lasted much longer. I think the sadness hit me a bit later, the following year when we watched and remembered. I am sad for the people and the families and friends who lost loved ones, or were injured in those events. We are proud of the heroes who went to help, firefighter/police/people. Also the people on plane that crashed after the passengers fought back! I think that it is very ironic that the terrorists hit the world trade center. They managed to make an enemy of not only the USA, but the world! Go figure. I am proud of how the leaders of our country and around the world united to fight against terror, and the world is a better place for it! Its great that they also rebuilt the site and honor those events. These are my thoughts this year as I review the videos of 9/11. Thanks for an opportunity to share my thoughts!

I was starting my Junior year in college at Carroll College in Helena, MT. I was asleep and got a phone call on my dorm phone from my Japanese friend Ai. She called and said "terrorists are attacking the World Trade Center! Its on the TV!" and I thought she was being silly and I asked her, "what movie are you watching?" She told me to come to her off-campus apartment so I drove to her house. I passed the Federal Reserve Bank and police were setting up a concrete barrier and were wearing riot gear. When I arrived at her house we watched from her roommate's bed as the second tower was hit.

Later that day, in one of my classes, my professor asked us to bow our heads and "think positive thoughts, pray if we like, or send positive energy" to a classmate who's sister was a flight attendant on one of the planes. He did not attend class for the next week.

I was eating breakfast at the table before elementary school and my mom and I were watching it on the news after the first tower was hit, and as we were watching the 2nd plane came. I'll never forget it.
