So Where Were You When You Heard The News on 11 September 2001?

[E20]

I was in a gas station and the guy infront of me to the clerk was like you know the twin towers are over or something like that.


I didn't know what to make of it, I thought he said that David Robinson and Tim Duncan had died or were injured or something so I was like HOLY .

I was a junior in high school

Heard it in Home Room.

I was just a sop re in high school back in Fredericksburg, sitting in my 2nd period webmastering class watching the news. I had no idea from that day on the day would always be refered to as "9-11" and I had no idea how much the world would change after that.

I don't sleep well when my husband travels and he was in DC for some meetings. He was still active duty and assigned to the EOC (emergency operations center) for 5thArmy. Anyway, since I didn't sleep the night before, I finally crashed after my daughter got on the bus at around 7:10am for school. A little later I got a call form our neighbor/friend asking if 2Grey was still in DC. I said yes and then he told me about the planes. I didn't believe him at first because he jokes around a lot. I told him he better not be messing with me or I was going to be majorly pissed. Well I turned on the TV and found out he told the truth. I freaked... I couldn't get through to him and finally after 2-3 hours he got in touch with me. It turned out they had moved there meeting off-site, away from the Pentagon, because they didn't have enough space for this meeting. Coincidentally, my daughter's Godfather had an office in the Pentagon that got hit but he too was at an off-site meeting and his boss had just stepped into the bathroom. That saved his life.
My hubby kept his rental and tried for a day or so to get a flight then he just left and turned it in back here in SA. I don't think I slept much until he got home.

I got just as scared when he had to go to the winter olympics in Utah to set up the EOC there in case of another attack.
