    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

    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 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.

    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.

    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 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.
