I had all my stuff packed in my car and was towing a trailer from Washington State to Florida..........
It was the morning before I planned to make the drive, I woke up to a phne call from a freind that told me to turn on the TV.....
I did just as the 2nd plane hit......
I still made the move, but it was short lived I moved back home as the anthrax scare was going on in the counties next to were I moved....
It was to scary of a time to be that far from home

I was in Florida working at my hotel jobdoing room service Listening to Howard Stern when he reported a plane hit one of the towers, didnt think much of it until he reported later another hit the other tower. Then I ran out to the bar to watch with everyone else. My dad was down visiting me and my brothers and was set to leave that day, but his flight was obviously cancelled for a few days.
The Anthrax thing was a bit closer to home because one was mailed to a place a few miles from the hotel I worked at.

I worked 2nd shift...didn't crash out until about 4am that morning. My roommate's girlfriend woke me up shortly after they confirmed that the 1st plane to hit was a passenger plane. She said something along the lines of, "You may want to see this." and I snapped at her saying, "No, I may want to sleep. Shut my door."
I couldn't fall back to sleep and eventually got up to see what was actually going on. I sat down to watch TV just before the 2nd plane hit. And I watched CNN for the next 2 weeks non-stop.

I was at work in Down town Pittsburgh I missed everything then I guy from another part of the building came and told me about it. He used very colorful words to. I remeber swithching from ESPN radio to KDKA radio and listened to the coverage. We were told we could go home but the streets were gridlocked and I had a bigg job to finish. 2 years later when I went for a promotion during my interview one of the bosses brought up that I was one of only 3 ppl who stayed on that day. It prob had more to do with the traffic and the fact I didn't see any of it happen, then the work needing done but it helped me in the long run.

I was in my apartment in Columbus getting ready to go to afternoon classes that day when my dad called me from Las Vegas to say they made it out there OK earlier that morning and not to worry. I didn't know what he was talking about because I was just waking up so he told me to turn on the TV and I knew then I would always remember exactly what I was doing that day.

woke up, didnt even get ready for work yet and there was news coverage all over about the first plane, but of course i didnt even think it could be what it was. called into work after the 2nd hit and just sat around watching tv in between bouts of crying for the next few days. about a week later it was all but confirmed that i had lost 2 friends from high school(they were married and worked together, paul and crystal) in the attacks, what a terrible day/week/time for our country, it still makes me tear up.

I was at work, had only been at this new company for a few month's. We heard it from a customer. My boss had a TV. In his office and we too watched as the 2nd plane hit.
I had been in combat twice before that happened. Before that I thought I saw all the evil man can inflict on his fellow man.
I was wrong.

Asleep at home until just after the first WTC tower was attacked, playing Nintendo 64 until shortly after the Pentagon was attacked. The only reason I wasn't at my job on Capitol Hill during the attacks was because I was working evening shifts at the time and thus didn't have to be at work until 4:30 PM (I had a separate day job and had that morning off). I didn't think it was a big deal when the WTC was attacked because it had happened before, but when I saw the Pentagon I realized it was dead serious. Spent the next several hours trying to get in touch with my father, he works in DC (not on Capitol Hill or at the Pentagon though), couldn't get through to him until he got home safely. When he got home it was only the second time I've ever seen him cry in my entire life.

I was in fifth grade, it was crazy! A bunch of elementary school kids running around spinning everything out of proportion. I mean it was horrible but I was hearing about World War 3 and bombings in Detroit and Grand Rapids and Saginaw was next. I live in Michigan so Michigan cities were used.
It was crazy, I don't think I'll ever forget that whole day. From the time I realized what really happened on.
I grew up a bit that day, you kind of had to seeing the kind of evil this world can have. I watched coverage from the time I went home to when I fell asleep... it was tough watching that kind of stuff so young.
But it happened and I pray it never does again so my future kids and everyone else's never has to go through something like this.
