Do you remember where you were exactly when......

Where were you when you realized the US was under attack at 9/11 and what where you first words/thoughts? I don't mean when the first aircraft hit the towers but when you realized it was an attack...

I was actually up in the air, performing a flight back into Brussels from Punta Cana. We recieved a message from Flight Ops, i remember the message exactly: "US under attack, close door, only flightcrew in deck, radio com zero please." First thing i said was "Do we inform pax?", captain told me not to.....

It was about 10 minutes later we got a message airplanes where involved in the attack, at first i thought it was a military attack from Iran or something.

We informed the cabin crew, only when we were in Brussels we found out what happened, about 5 hours later.
