[thecrazyone]

[devin]

[8bangin302]

[AtifSajid]

I was at work..and read it on the Internet, then I went into the conference room and turned on the TV and started watching it from where the first plane went into the building. Watched it all until it was over that day..by the end there were like 10-15 people watching.

[Hektik]

I was working at the tires plus of off riverside and lawrenceville suwanee. at first i thought it was just a skit or a joke on the radio station but then we turned the tv on and it was on the news.

[TRINI4LIFE]

after school detention?? it happend in the morning

lol its a long story... Ok we found out during school but the ppl announced on the PA that we should go back to school work and they'll have an announcement on the end of the day or some shit... I didn't have cable at home... but oddly enough i had a 2 hour detention at 2... and the teacher had CNN playing the whole time... i didn't fall asleep once that detention.

Its like shit was destined to be... like for me to watch that shit.... for hours and hours straight... Sure i could watch some of the shit at home on fox news and etc... but I didnt know it was at the scale it was... like the country being attacked as opposed to just a random act of stupidity

[babygurl]

I was sitting in my living room, getting ready to go to work, and bam there it was

[JennB]

I was driving to work when I started hearing about it on the radio. It was really confusing and they didn't really know what was going on. Then I got to work and we turned on a small tv we had in the office and watched. Saw the 2nd tower hit and then things got more clear. My office was no more than 3 miles from the largest Army training facility in the US.... tens of thousands of soldiers and a huge part of my city had Army ties. People were leaving their jobs to go get their kids from schools on base, people rushing to get back on post, I got more than a little nervous.

[Allshow97]

I was sleeping before work and got a phone call from my parents about the bombing I woke up in time to catch the second plane hit on CNN.

[Dirty Octopus™]

lol its a long story...

so... you were on Paki time. Right

Later, Dis Pimp

[never_finished]

i was in math class, sophomore year, everyone just sat and stared at the tv in shock the whole class. no one said anything.

[imbosile]

i was in 8th grade, georgia history. the teachers werent allowed to tell us about it so what we heard was mainly from other students that had found out from their parents calling the childs cell phones and checking them out of school. So many people left school that day, and it was all made worse with the teachers not telling us anything. We only heard bits and pieces of the story from other kids

[Mchnhead2k5]

I took my first flight ever on 9-10 to New Jersey. I was at work up there when they made the announcement. They said that it wasn't a big deal, and that we could all go back to work, then the 2nd plane hit with all ears to the radio. The whole office shut down. I spent the rest of the day in my hotel room watching CNN, and telling everybody that called me that I was ok,and didn't see smoke from my hotel room. The next morning, I went to the airport (no planes, no trains) and rented a Montero to drive home. Kept it over 100 most of the way, but I made it home in like 9 hrs...

[threehundred]

I was at school when it began. Then I drove to my hometown (where I live now) because my nephew was being born. He's the little pimp in my avatar. Best and Worst day combined. At least my family ended up with him out of the deal

[SLOWLYbtngU]

I was in my Sociology class Sr year, and then our school was under possible evacuation watch thx to the threat to the CDC....Yeah we were gonna be fucked had that plane not been re-routed..

[The Golden Child]

In school between classes somewhere. I just remember hearing everyone screaming "WE'RE UNDER ATTACK!!" and stuff.

[RBpoweredSileighty]

I was at work and my mother was in tower 2....

i hope she got out right??

anyway i was sleeping then i had to go to work, the whole day sucked

[TRINI4LIFE]

i hope she got out right??

Yeah she was one of the lucky ones. She worked on the 26th floor in Tower 2. She said that as soon as they evacuated Tower 2 she saw the second plane smashing into the tower Still give the creeps talking about it. Good looking out though

[RBpoweredSileighty]

hey man n/p! just reading what u put gave me chills.... WOW

[TRINI4LIFE]

hey man n/p! just reading what u put gave me chills.... WOW

I didn't even hear from her till like around 7 pm. All the phone lines were down and or busy. Shit was crazy..... She said when the tower fell she had to run inside a store b/c of all of the dust and smoke .

[RBpoweredSileighty]

its kinda weird when u see stuff about 9-11 on tv and then u hear about it on here... it just seems diferent like more personal. yea im sure everyone who was there when the towers fell and all that debris and dust went flying everywere people wouldnt know what to think and either run as fast as u could or get into another building. i bet u were scared shitless not being able to get in touch with her till later.

[devin]

i took it personal the second that fuckin shit happend.

[hemi]

What company did she work for?

The company my mom worked for had about 8 floors in one of the buildings. She worked for them for about 14 years and knew , worked with and trained with people all over the east coast. In 2000, the company did some restructuring and closed a few offices, my mom's office and their sister office in Memphis were two that were closed. The company generously offered large payouts to the employees or a chance to transfer in a fully paid for move to any office in the country.... it was a wonderful opportunity and a lot of people took it and moved all over the place. Some that my mom knew well went to NYC headquarters for great jobs and a new life. Mom took the money because she didn't want to move.... but many did.

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

This link says it all

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...."
