Hellz yeah.... I couldn't even look at the TV nor listen to the radio. I was a nervous wreck. :yes: :yes:

I was at Clemson taking a Calculus test. my room mate came in class just before it started and told me what was going on. After that we went back to our room and turned on the tv and saw the second plane

Mom worked for Marsh insurance. I'm sure a lot of you have seen their building in Buckhead.

She could barely stand to watch once they starting releasing the names on TV... I would sit there with her and she would read them off and start talking about the person... "last time I talked to him he was telling me about his kids softball games".... "she was the person that trained me when I started my job...."

She worked for Xerox.

I was in 11th grade sitting in English HIGH AS FUCK.

I hope that never happens again.

I was in my CET 315 class taking a test then someone ran in and told us. So we ran out to check on it and the test was postponed :D

i was in math class in the 11th grade. the teachers didnt want us to know about it but we demanded to know and they really didnt have a choice. everyone ended up leaving school. we ended up having a football game that night for the jv but the next night varsity was cancelled. that shit sucked.

i was in nite school so i was asleep when the issues began on 9-11. moms called my crib til i got up and i was watchiing tv when the first plan hit. didnt want to believe it so i asked if this was a movie preview.

yea when the names were realeased i was in LI at one of my home bois house ..
there was about 3000 people watching it on a big screen in the back yard ..
alot of people crying and friends and family members ..

why is there a post on this every year around 9/11?

to remember dude

then my brother SGTPOKER USMC trained killer called and said that all bases were defcon3 and thats when i took it serious. but i was pissed, nearly rejoined ther service to go blow up some shit. rethought it and went to school that nite.

it was open but no classes were being held, so i went and chilled with pops(ex army/policeman) and cleaned our guns.....

i was in the classroom just watchin all the planes hit the towers

well anyways i was at home killing some nazi teddy bears (game reference)
turned it off and saw a huge hole in the 1st building, called my mom at work told her what was happening and as im on the phone with her the second plane hit.


my dad was in NY only a couple blocks away from the towers, had to walk back to his brothers apt, which took him 2 hours cause it was fuckin madness up there.

8th grade language arts class....also known as english.... watchin the news and this kid jarrod sheets walked in and looked at the tv and goes "BOOOOOMMMM HAHAHA" ....everyone just kinda looked at him and he shut up

headed to my 2nd period class, mythogly, and my teacher flipped on the tv just as the second plane hit. i got up and drove home.

I was in 6th grade I think, learning social studies, when the administrators herded everyone into the TV room we had to see what's going on. I saw it like three minutes before the planes hit. They called all the parents and sent us home for the day. There was no music on the radio, no matter where you turned, only talk.

I was in my 7th grade math class. FUCK Mrs. RANKIN! >.>....that is all

i was about to walk out the door to start work... needless to say i didnt leave for about 2 more hours... then i was glued to the tv all day, got no work done..

glad to hear your moms was ok trini!

RIP to all those that USA lost that day...

in bed with a broke jaw and 2 broke ankels... Sucked..

I was walking out of the Federal Reserve Bank on Maiden St. I came outside seeing one tower burning. I saw the second plane fly into the tower. I just stared in awe at what was before me. I coudln't believe what I was seeing. It was the worst day of my life. Of all the days I was down in that area on business, which wasn't very often, I can't believe it was that day. I will never be the same. I am giong to be moving back to NY in a year or so, but am now glad to call ATL home.
