I was at work that morning. We all sat in the waiting room with our customers and watched the news in horror. Later that night and for awhile every night I watched and listened to people share their stories. There were definitely times that I did turn off the TV. I am really sensitive and have a hard time taking in such emotional things sometimes.

I don’t know what I’ll say to my sons when they ask me about that day. I guess I am lucky that I have more time to think about it.

I was in the dorms in my freshman year of college. I got really mad at my mom for waking me until I found out what happened. I didn’t have a TV in my room so I got most of my news on the internet.

I remember, we re refinancing our home that day and I woke up about 2:45 am in the morning thinking about it turned on CNN and saw what was going on. I thought it was a movie or something. I kept changing channels and it was everywhere. I woke up everyone in the house, called my mom on the mainland..I was in total disbelief and glued to the TV all day. Have a great Friday

I was at work but I listened to the radio host report that I plane crashed in New York City, then that it hit the towers and then another… and I just listened as the day unfolded.
After I was off work I was in our new home we just bought and we live near an air force base. They sent out on of their big jets and it set of a huge boom sound that scared me like never before. I will never forget that moment or the rest of the day as long as I live.

I was in bed, got a call from my mom–my aunty, who lived in NY and worked just 2 blocks away, called to tell her about the horrific news. I was still in a daze and didn’t really know what my mom was talking about so I got up and turned on the news.

I spent all morning watching until I had to go to work–and I worked at an airline and it was nothing but chaos….

I was getting ready for school (my senior year). My mom watches the early morning news and so we saw the second plane fly into the towers. The entire day was surreal.

I was asleep in my bed and the phone started ringing off the hook! I turned the tv on and it was just the most horrible scene. Who can ever forget it?

I sat and watched tv without moving pretty much. Lots of crying and disbelief. When the plane was over Cleveland and headed toward PA, I immediately went to pick my kids up from school. Lots of other parents were pulling their kids out. It was horrible. Still is.

I did not send my kids to school that day. I did explain what had happened by fact, versus by scaring them. And yes, I was in front of the news all day long

I was at home getting my 3 year old daughter ready for her first day of nursery school and had just found out I was pregnant. I remember watching it all in horror whenever she was in another room, but quickly changing the channel whenever she came back in. Such a sad, horrible time.
