    I was working on a movie. We had just come into the shop and by that time we were all talking about it. Then we decided to go home instead.

    Production was halted for like a week.

        I was asleep at my parents, my last summer before college. And my dad woke me up at the crack of dawn cuz something hugely historical and important was happening and I couldn't sleep through it. I sat at home and watched the news all day... and I hate the news. It was like it wasn't happening.

        Edit: Among my memories is when SNL asked the mayor if they could be funny again and the first Daily Show back wondering the same thing.

          I woke up, checked my stocks and noticed the charts were dead. I looked at the time and it was during market hours. So I turned on the new and saw the news when they reported the second plane had hit. Closed up my biz for 2 weeks because I was so disturbed.

I was shocked. I could understand what was going on because it was just so far from anything I could imagine. Then I saw the pentagon and they said we were under attack. I remember looking out the window and thinking holy shit, this can't be happening. Who the hell is dumb enough to rattle our cage?
            Should I go to the store and buy some water and canned goods? Should I get my neighbors together and start planning something? I didn't know what to plan, but I felt I had to do something because I had no idea what was next. It was the most vulnerable feeling I have ever felt.

            I also remember the feeling of all planes being grounded and thinking wow I am stuck here. I cannot get in a plane and go anywhere. (I traveled a lot back then) I don't know about you but it was a very eerie feeling.

            It felt good to hear the President was in New York and to hear him talking. I know everyone here doesn't like him, but whether you like him or not, him going to New York made the country feel a lot safer. We knew someone was there for us. We knew we had each other!!!

              Had just crawled into bed after pulling an all nighter when my bud call me and told me they're putting my H.S. "Stuyvesant H.S." into a command center.. I was like wtf are you talking about.. then he told me to turn on the TV. My first instinct was try to call 2 of my cousins and their father whom all worked at the WTC..
              after 5 hrs of calling finally got through to the cousins, but we never heard from their dad again..

                I've got google news as my home page, so when i woke up that morning I turned on my 'puter to check stats I saw a picture of people running from a crashing building. It was awful. I watched news for 3 days in disbelief.

                It was so weird to be so uterly hated for just being an American.

                  I was 30,000 feet up in the air, flying from London to Dallas.
                  We were about an hour or so flight from NY or the east coast when the planes struck the towers.

                  The plane made a U-turn, as US airspace got closed off, and we landed in a small town called Gander, Newfoundland, where I sat in the plane on the tarmac for about 7 more hours before being let off. The BBC came on the speakers in the plane, and we learned what happened.

                  Then I slept in a church, on a church bench, for 4 days, before being flown back to London, then to Copenhagen.

                  Here's a website about it:

                    b) go into a burning building that has 'bullshit' written on it.

                      I was sitting here updating a site and chatting with an ex-girlfriend online when she got quite and then told me to turn on the news. I had the TV on for three days. Didn't move from it much in that time.

                        I was working in London. I went into a pub to have a leak. When I came out I realised everyone was watching the giant TV and talking in very low voices. Then I watched it. People around me were in tears .

                          I was working at home, as usual. Typing on my computer. To the left of me I have a small tv. CNN is on. "breaking news". I get the impression that a very small plane has hit the building. There is some smoke, not much. Don´t think much of it. Doesn´t seem that bad. A few minutes later I hear the newsreaders voice stop and she says something like "what is this?" I look at the tv screen and see a second plane smash in to WTC. After that I couldn´t take my eyes off the TV. I stayed up all night watching it.

                              I was on Holidays over there in Florida, just eating breakfast with all the hotel patrons when it came on the big screen. Damn I was on a honeymoon and the worst experience of my life being in a foreign country not knowing WTF was going on! Couldn't fly so I had to take a stinky Greyhound back to Vegas.

                              I hate Terrorism period!!!!!

                                  I was online working on a few AVS aites and reading the board here at GFY
                                  I had CNN on like I do everyday and caught the whole thing from the start.
                                  It was pretty freaky thing to see.

                                              I was standing in line to get my vehicle tag renewed. By the time I made it to the office both towers had been hit. It's kind of surreal to think back at all the people waiting in line with me at the DMV and nobody had a clue what was happeing.

                                                I was about 10 blocks away with two friends. watched the towers burn and fall, from a rooftop
                                                We thought people were throwing furniture threw the windows to get air, later we realized it was people jumping. I have never seen something so sureal and horrible as the towers falling. Growing up here they seemed indestructable, it was the last thing we expected to happen. Theres a whole lot of details I could mention but Im not really up for it.
                                                My heart goes out to all affected in anyway, people who had a connection to the event and people who had no connection.
                                                It was a sad day for most everybody.

                                                      About 30 minutes NE or NYC on the phone with all my friends that still worked as brokers down in the city.

                                                      I drove out to the pier were you could look out and see the city and instead of the towers there was just this giant plume of smoke. It is the most disturbing thing I have ever seen and I hope it will remain the worst thing I see for the rest of my life cause I do not want to ever see anything like that again.

                                                        I was still in Holland at that time, working in the IP Tower office in The Haque. Got an icq message from some webmaster stating that a small airplane just hit a skyscraper in NY. We tuned in to CNN on the TV @ the office right away, and saw what had happened. We also saw the second plane hit live..... I can still recall the disbelieve and fear that came over us when we saw that.

                                                        A couple of years later we drove from Canada to NY and visited ground zero.

                                                          I was in Germany. My mother called to tell me what happened(they're in NY)
                                                          My Ex-husband SKULL-BUITRE ran off to Colombia with OUR money and screwed me after I helped him build OUR business.
                                                          He is hiding in Colombia and never paid the settlement $ from our divorce!

                                                            well i woke up around noon to my alarm radio saying america is under attack, my stomach sank and i just thought 'oh shit'. i turned on the tv to see what was going on. it all seemed rather surreal. i had planned on going out and buying a bedroom set that day, which i did. i didn't sleep that night tho.
                                                            you don't know you're wearing a leash if you sit by the peg all day..
