Doing deliveries and hearing about it on the van radio. It seemed unreal but a vast spirit of peace and unity fell upon the land during this trying times. And it is so strange ! Something seemed so wrong but I could not put the finger on it till I realized it was the silence of the absence of planes in the sky. In the DFW area at any given time there are like several in the sky and then that silence...

Was on my way to work.

Stopped at the coffee shop at the bottom of my office tower and watched the news about one of the towers burning. A lot of speculation about what caused the fire than watched in shock as the second plane crashed into the tower. Everyone was thinking "is this real?". "OMG it real".

Went to the office. People were listening to the radio or live streams. OMG the towers are collapsing.

Than the orders came in... All office towers are to be evacuated.....

I was on my way to work at the Veterans Home of California when the planes hit. By the time I got to work, I entered the main building to see veterans of several wars huddled around a big screen TV discussing not IF but when we would once again go to war. Some had tears in their eyes. As I had seldom seen any of these men or women cry - it struck me hard. They knew the suffering that was about to come.

I was at work, just starting my day, when a customer came in and told me about the first plane hitting the twin towers. I didn't get a chance to put the radio on before the next plane hit. It was a tough day to work.

Well, it was a weird day. September 10th, 2001 I stayed up rather late. Tuesday, September 11th I woke up a little late for school [12th grade at the time]. I figured, **** it, I'm already late for ******* Geography class [or was it history... I don't remember, one of those two.]. I looked around for a decent shirt to wear, I was planning to ask this girl out that day and wanted to look nice.



I discovered this American Flag shirt I stole from my older brother so I ironed it all nice and neat and put that on with some nice blue jeans. I remember spending far longer than I should have ironing my clothes that day. I was off to school looking nice thinking today would be the day where it worked out and I asked out Danielle Champ.



When I got to school, about 8:50ish is when I showed up in my homeroom class. My teacher and everyone in class are watching T.V. and looking a bit glum and I didn't quite understand why. I look up and it's news coverage explaining that a plane had hit one of the twin towers in new york and I didn't quite grasp what had happened yet. I wasn't sure if it was a bad dream or not cause I was half awake [as usual during school].



I just stood there confused watching T.V. and hadn't taken a seat at a desk and then there was breaking news of a 2nd plane flying towards the towers and video footage showed it hit, live on T.V.. I felt something deep inside me that just felt horrifying. I just watching a lot of people die, live on T.V.. I rarely swore back then but I remember saying "What the **** just happened?" to my Teacher, Mr. Ronniger. And he said "I think we're under attack?" in a confused tone and didn't even care that I had swore in class.



In class all we did was watch T.V.. No one mentioned I was late, we didn't talk about class, we all just watched the news and occasionally asked questions.



In Art class a T.V. had been wheeled in so we could watch the news. This was my 2nd class that day. That's when we heard about the pentagon. And when the pentagon thing happened I was a bit terrified as was another girl in my school and my cousin and a few of the teachers. Let's rewind a bit here. Back to.... I don't know freshmen year of high school.



1999

I'm in my U.S. History [or was it geography... I don't remember] with Mr. Ronniger. We had learned an easy way to get out of doing work was to convince him to tell us a story or random interesting facts. Someone had got him going and he's telling us that according to the FBI or the CIA [I really don't remember] that the Facility our school was less than a mile away from was on Saddam Hussein's list of top 10 things he might want to blow up in america. To top this off, my dad and uncle worked at the place. Also the wreslting coach worked there as well and his daughter went to school with me and I was on the wrestling team. The busiest control room for the FAA in the country is located in Oberlin, OH. Less than a mile away from Oberlin High School. And our history/geography teacher told us, back in 99' that that specific facility is on a top ten list of **** Saddam Hussein is likely to blow up according to the FBI or the CIA [I think the CIA....?]. Also my dad and uncle worked there and when I came home that day and asked if that were true and why it would be both my dad and uncle [was actually my next door neighbor] confirmed that it is indeed the busiest control room in the USA and get's the most air traffic and that destroying it would most certainly cripple the country.



So... he also mentioned on this top ten list there were the world trade center, the pentagon, the white house, and I forgot what else.



2000

another teacher mentioned the top ten list to us in biology class.



So, back to tuesday 9/11/2001



I'm in Art class at ******* Oberlin ******* high school and just discovered that 2 of the things on a top ten list of **** saddam hussein would want to attack and blow up have been attacked and 1 of the things on this same top 10 list is less than a mile away from where me and all my friends are at the moment. I was kinda ******* terrified and have never felt that afraid or scared in my life. I wanna lie and say that I hatched a plan to bail on school and managed to rally up my friends and say "Hey, let's get the **** out of here and head downtown to tappan square AWAY from the FAA.... but ****'s not looking so great for that building."



But, I kinda just stayed in school.... So did my cousin and Erika Twining [her dad worked with my dad and uncle at the FAA]. Same with the two teachers who mentioned the FAA facility was something someone attacking America would certainly want to destroy. Looking back I guess we were just a bit too scared to think to just leave the school and head away from the FAA.



School was all just watching T.V. in every class. We didn't do any work at all. Then eventually 2:30 came and the bell rang and when I left school I walked in the opposite direction of the FAA towards Oberlin College and went to Mudd Library and just kinda hung around outside. All the college students, well everyone really, looked sullen and confused and glum. I probably did too.



Eventually I went back home... Probably around about 10pm or so. My dad was at home and I asked him what happened.



He told me that after I left for school [which was just before the 1st plane hit. It was about a 15 minute walk to school and I arrived inbetween the time each plane hit] the first plane his and he was called to go into work immediately. My uncle was already there [I was 17, so that means they both had done the job for 17 years at that point]. At work they had filled the building with all the workers with the most experience on the job and had sent home people with only 10 or less years [I don't know the exact numbers... but basically they had the all star team in the world of air traffic controllers at work that day].



So, this all star team of the best of the best air traffic controllers within the building just landed every single plane in the sky at the nearest runway. My dad normally worked the night shift, so basically he got off work around the time I was getting up for school [our schedule was that when he was going to sleep I was going to school, when I got off school he was waking up, and when I was about to go to sleep he was going to work]. Once all the plans had been landed they were sent home and the building was pretty empty I'm told.



I didn't bother to mention the whole top ten list thing... at this point I just didn't want to think about it anymore, cause it was kinda terrifying.





But, that was how my day went on 9/11.

I listened to him in the morning.

He was on a time delay.

So, I really didn't get the full understanding of the situation until I arrived to work @ Bayer in Berkeley.

I found out while I was @ work. They sent everyone (?) home.

I picked up my two sons and went home to watch the news.

I had just come out of the subway after the 2nd impact. There was debris flying all around, but no one really knew what was happening. I went to work on Maiden Lane, 3 blocks away. When the towers fell, lower Manhattan was evacuated, so a group of us had to walk to the Brooklyn Bridge and across. On the Brooklyn side, we were greeted by a wall of Federal Marshalls, heavily armed, surrounding the Federal Court (which was business as usual).

I just thought to myself "why are both World Trade Center buildings on fire quote for something like "another bombing like the Oklahoma City bombing "





Shoot was I wrong

I was seven years old. It happened when I was sleep. Southern California area is where my family lived. It was dark and my mom made me leave her room. I don't know why I was awake it was early. I went to the living room and watched it on the news. I didn't know I wasn't supposed to see it. Then the rest of the day was semi awkward. Like what is protocol for that type of thing? I didn't know I was only 7. It distracted us from everything second graders do on Mondays. As time went on and I learned more about it I was shocked that it wasn't something that happened a lot.

I was a US Army truck driver, stationed at Ft Hood, TX. I was getting my truck ready to go on the road to drive over to another unit. Then I heard that a plane hit one of the Twin Towers. I didn't worry about it at first, I thought it was just an accident.

A short time later, someone came and told me to go back across the road into the office.

I said, "Why? What's going on?"

He said, "The company commander just gave everybody a direct order to go to the office and nobody can do anything until the post General says otherwise! The General got his orders to tell everybody that from President Bush!"

I said, "So what if a pilot in NY can't fly a plane and accidentally hit one of the Twin Towers. What's that got to do with us?"

He said, "Because, about five minutes ago, another plane hit the other tower!"

I just said, "Oh s***!"

That's when I knew it was not an accident.

It wasn't until around 8:00 that night that the commander let us leave. I was stuck at work doing nothing all day!

I was sleeping in bed in las vegas. I awoke thinking how boring the news was until that day. I was 28 years old. What a shocker...the buildings has already collapsed. I watched and tried to understand how a passport that was in the terrorists pocket who was inside the plane the flew into the building and burned up. How same passport could be found unsinged at the bottom of the towers amid the millions of pieces of paper flying around. I had just finished reading Jim Marrs book "crossfire: the plot that killed Kennedy" just that week. Hence a new conspiracy begins that very day. Yes I am a no planer...the planes were video composite images....

I specifically remember being in my 4th grade music class when the principal came over the PA system and told the teachers not to turn the TVs on. After that I looked at the clock cause I knew there was something going on....I don't quite remember what time the clock was reading, though. I wanna say it was something like 9:30. I very vaguely remember watching the news later in the day after school. It all seemed to surreal to me. I remember my mom had a flight to California the very next day. That flight didn't happen until October. In November, my whole family and I went on a bus trip with our congregation to Wallkill, and Patterson, NY which was about 5 hours from where we lived in upstate NY. I remember the bus drove around Ground Zero and whole bus was just silent. My friend and I actually got up and walked the length of the bus to look out the windows at it. I remember it was still smoking, and I don't remember this at all, but my mom said you could still smell it. I also remember telling my class about it, cause my teacher wanted me to share the experience. That was my first time in the city, so the experience is pretty ingrained in my mind. I really hope to be able to go back someday and see the new Trade Center and get pictures of it, and the memorials.

I had just put my infant son down for his regular 230 pm afternoon nap. (Italy time......830 am NYC time )



I decided to make myself a cup of tea and catch a few minutes of CNN, to see what was new in the world.



I had no sooner flicked on the tv, when CNN broke in with the news of the First Tower.



My sister worked in the Towers.



Needless to say............I sat there the rest of the afternoon, glued to the set...............trying to call her, but all the lines were down or jammed.



I watched the entire thing unfold, LIVE, as it happened, from half a world away.



I once worked in the Towers myself and just couldn't BELIEVE what I was seeing.



It was unreal.



Luckily.......she was one of the lucky ones..........my friend, FDNY Fire Lt. Glenn Perry, was not.



I was just home recently, and put a flag at the memorial on his name. .

I was in middle school at the time, and I was having a normal school day until I came home and my mom was bawling. I asked her what was wrong, and then she and I watched the news together; and I was just as devastated and scared as everyone else was, even though I live in Washington State not New York, and I wasn't anywhere near there. I also feel lucky that I didn't know anyone on those planes or in those buildings, although I felt and still feel sorry for the people who were personally connected to that event.

I was driving to work when I heard about the first tower on the car radio.

I was at work. Someone announced a plane had his the WTC. We at first thought it was an accident with a small plane. Then the next one hit. Everyone rushed to get on the internet but it was impossible to get like CNN and so on. Cellphones were overwhelmed. I went to CVS and bought a portable radio to follow the news.

Then the Pentagon was struck.

We were allowed to leave work early.

I live near Dulles airport in Virginia and in the flight path of commercial aircraft. They were grounded and the silence was eerie.

At about 4pm London time I watching a French TV crew in NYC out on the streets with the NYFD who were checking the water hydrants - nothing much happening - and then overhead, whoosh a plane flies into one of the Twin Towers - the NYFD men raced back to their duties. The French TV got into the ground floor of the first hit Twin Tower and kept filming what was happening.

https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=french+film+crew+911+documentary



Here in London the following morning the Queen ordered her Guards to play the American National Anthem in Buckingham Palace Yard.

You have to understand that the Queen was red eyed with crying for hours - her beloved City of NYC - she stood with the American People on that Day and so did all of us.

I was on my honeymoon in Costa Rica in an eco lodge. No TVs, radios, or telephones. My wife and I were eating breakfast and the lodge owner came over and said he had some news he felt he had to tell us about. A airplane had crashed in the World Trade Center. One of the staff had a small TV which he brought out to the common area. My wife and I and the other dozen or so guests, all from the US, sat around the TV watching for the next several hours. It was a broadcast from the U.S., ABC news I think, but it was all dubbed into Spanish. We had to ask the staff to translate for us. As the week went on, people checked out, but no one else checked in because all flights were cancelled. We left at the end of the week, only the second flight out of the country since flights resumed. One thing I remember is on the flight to Costa Rica, we had metal forks and knives. On the flight back we had plastic utensils. When we landed back in the US, there were armed soldiers in the airport. One guy tried to use his cell phone and was immediately yelled at to get off his phone. No one really knew what the dangers were. It was like coming back to a different country.

I was at school in the computer lab. My friends and I hung out there before school started. I'm in California, so the attack happened early morning for me. I heard the teacher and two students talking about something with some excitement. I asked what was up. They told me "a plane flew into the world trade center. 15 minutes later, another plane flew into it."

I said "was that an accident?" with some disbelief.

I'll never forget it.

Employed, public sector, and

on entering a city building my

operations supervisor told me

one of the World Trade Towers

had just fallen down. I took

that to mean it went sideways

and was thinking how many city

blocks that would impact. Five

minutes later the same source

notified me that what was in-

progress looked like an act of

war. I was told continue my out-

side duties and expect upgraded

security protocols. The full scope

of events didn't begin until off-duty

at my residence about 1600 hours.

I cleaned my firearms, had supper,

and was asleep by 2230 hours with

a Glock17 in reach.

Just working around my home not watching television..........than my sister told me to turn on the television.

I was totally shocked and amazed anyone could get that close to us.........without being shot down immediately.

All the people that died in the tower was ever so awful..........many got sick from gases when they helped in all of this rescue. SAD DAY

I was working at the election polls. People came in and started telling us about it. About 10:00 I took my break and went to my home precinct to vote. The poll workers there were watching it on TV. That is the first time I saw the images. When I got back to my precinct, I wouldn't let my colleagues bring a TV into our polling place to prevent voters from being exposed to something that could compromise the results of the election.



My son was a four-year-old in his second year of Montessori Pre-school. His teacher saw fit to allow her 3-6 year-old students to watch the disaster live and unedited. My son came home crying and couldn't sleep for several nights. It didn't help that the school made students watch the disaster almost every day for the rest of the week while they held assemblies to talk about it and try to help the students cope. I can't help but think my son might have been better able to cope if he had not had to witness death and destruction every day for a week at school, and if the school had allowed parents to decide how much their very young children would see of these images.



When I was just a little older than my son, John F Kennedy was assassinated. My school dismissed early, sending students home just in time hear doctors were trying to save the President. I will never forget seeing instant replays of the assassination again, and again that day. On Sunday, while I was watching TV with my daddy, I witnessed the murder of Mr. Oswald. I promised myself that no child of mine would ever be put in that position. My son's pre-school teacher, and later his public school, decided they would put my child in that position, without my permission.

I got up to my alarm radio. 6 am PST. Something about an airplane crash!

Turned on TV, there was same pix on every channel--one of the Towers smoking!

Now I knew how Dad felt on Dec 7th '41. He'd hit every button on his buddy's radio, same on every station. So he guessed it wasnt a drill.

Then the other plane hit. Boom!

I watched in horror, then decided I had to io to work. I listened about it on car radio, there was no music on any station. LIke Jack Kennedy's assassination, there had been 3 days of nothing but news on it.



I worked silently,. there was a gloom , a pall, over everyone at work you could cut with a knife. Silence.

I listened on car radio on way home, watched TV on it.

Dinner, bed.

The next dauy, life had to move on.

I remember I was riding my motorcycle on a busy main street and passed a newspaper boy standing by the curb holding a newspaper up to the traffic, that said: AMERICA ATTACKED!



I went back to him and asked if it was a joke. He said no. I bought a newspaper and went home to find it was true, on the television news.



I was in Frankfurt, Germany in 1984 and narrowly missed being there when several terrorists were shot in the airport.



I was in France, I think it was 1985 or 86 and narrowly missed an incident where people were blown up at a sidewalk cafe restaurant.



So I've seen craziness in several places.

I believe I was in my first year of middle school when that happened. The crash happened some time either before or on my way to school by yellow bus. I remember my homeroom teacher (the first room of the day) had this really distressed look on her face and she told everyone after we'd taken out seats "I don't know how to all this but..." and she relayed the events of the crash to us. We were really young and unsure how to feel about it or what to do about it. Most of us just understood that all the adults were extremely upset about something terrible that happened but we had no idea what the world trade center was at the time. All the lessons were halted and every classroom watched the news broadcasting the events. I remember everyone being extremely paranoid after that we'd start getting attacked at strategic locations - like nukes dropped in the center of major cities or suicide bombers flooding out of nowhere and blowing everything up. The teachers had to talk to us about what terrorism was and why it was that way.



It's fascinating what kids think up when they're exposed to things isn't it?

Driving in Nevada, Utah and Wyoming. I heard the news on the radio-- something about how "The South Tower has fallen! The South Tower has collapsed!" I thought an earthquake had struck New York City, and had shaken one of the WTC towers until it fell. I stayed tuned and in a few more minutes, the news report came on at the top of the hour and told the entirety of America about what had happened. I stopped that night in Cheyenne, WY and felt like I was living in a bad dream. How could something like this have happened?? And now, nearly sixteen years later we know who did it and we know how they did it. Those 102 minutes on that morning changed America and the world forever. What happened on that day is why America MUST keep radical Moose-limbs OUT of America. Thank God we had our heads on straight and elected Donal Trump. Himmlery was going to let in 550% more of these murderers had the bravo-itch won. You may not know it, but electing Trump was the best thing you could have done for your grandchildren on Election Day 2016.

I live on the Northwest side of Chicago. I was sound asleep throughout the morning and early afternoon in my bedroom wearing my skivvy white t-shirt and underwear. My phone rang and it was my mom. She called and asked me to pick her up at the CTA train station. She worked in downtown Chicago. I asked her if her boss let her out early. She gave a paused silence and then said ″New York was bombed″. I turned on the TV and all is now in the history books. I wanted to re-enlist in the Marine Corps right away when I saw what happened to the Towers.

I was 23, living in a small apartment with my boyfriend (now husband). No kids yet. I was a bank teller. On Tuesdays, I worked the "late shift" from 11a-7p, so I slept in a little that day. I got up, made a bowl of Cap'n Crunch and flipped on the tv. The volume was all the way down, but the picture showed footage of the first plane hitting. My first thought was, "That pilot must be drunk!!" When I turned up the volume, the news anchors were saying that it MAY have been a terrorist attack, and that scared me. Then I saw the 2nd plane hit live. I had a friend at work who was supposed to go on vacation to New York. Her plane was supposed to leave on 9-12-01.
