Where Were You 9/11/2000 ?
 

I was watching West Wing late at night in my little flat attached to the office I then had.. they interrupted for a newsflash and when they crossed to New York the 2nd plane hit live while they were showing the live footage as background.

I sat in awe for 5 minutes and then rang everyone I knew because I knew the world as we then knew it had changed forever.

Still sends a chill up my spine.

May the memory of the tragedy long serve as a reminder to us all.

In 2000, I don't remember... but 9/11/2001 found me glued to my television set for nearly 24 hours straight.

We had our television on in the office when the news flash came on. It was the middle of the afternoon and all hell broke loose in London with the City being evacuated. It was devastating watching it unfold :(

I was getting a blowjob by some chick my sister intriduced me to while her husband was at work. She sucked some pretty good knob too. :2 cents:

Asleep on my moms floor while the girlfriend was visiting. They woke me up to watch the news.

I was at high school, we were talking about how we'd have to go to war

Umm 9/11 happened in 2001 not 2000 try getting your dates correct.

It's early man - give him a break - we all know how to read through typos at GFY by now ;)

I was getting out of school when it ahppened. I then watched the news for the next two days straight

At home unpacking from my trip to New York! :( My phone rang off the hook that day, people wanted to make sure I was home....

My heart goes out to everyone involved! :)

Yeah..I was listen to Howard Stern..( he broke the news)continued to listen and had the TV on also. He had very open comments not like CNN.

Yeah yeah yeah.. 2001... kill me for the typo,,,, now get over it.

:-(

He he, it's actually late here... 10pm.. but thanks for the thought...

Some people think picking up an obvious typo makes them special.

PC thinking is that retarded people are also special, so I just do the math and don;t let it bother me too much...

;-)

I was in NZ and it had all happened by the time I woke up......

Of course the 1st thing I did was start surfing and clicked on CNN - I actually had a pain in my chest when I was reading it.... It was surreal.

Then I phoned everyone I knew all around the world - I told my mum who works in central London to get out and visit relatives down the coast. Bad day.

Was in 23 hour lockdown for 3 weeks caused by a riot, no radios, no newspapers just a CO every hour to keep us updated.

9/11 happens every year :disgust

'tis true... I read it somewhere.
I think the book was called "Calender" or something like that, can't remember who wrote it, but the pictures were AWESOME! I liked the "July" chapter the best.

hahahaaaaaaaa :thumbsup

I was surfing GFY and PC with CNN on the tv in the background.

I was at a meeting and one of the staff came and told us what had happened so I went our to my car which has a TV and watched it there.

pretending to be working.....

"Which side of the bars"? is an obvious question .....

:winkwink:

I was in Long Beach NY helping a friend build a deck ... and we heard it on Stern ... went down to the water where you can see the city and watched it .. when we saw the first tower fall ...i went home to my wife and waited to hear from her father who was working in the city at the time ..... very strange day ... :(

:1orglaugh

Cut and paste:
I was still asleep and my son called from Clemson to ask me what I thought about it. I turned on the TV, saw what was going on and then immediately told him I was on my way to pick him up! My parents talked me into realizing he was fine there but like everyone else, I spent the day glued to the TV.

My Dad was headed to downtown ATL (he lives in a suburb) when he heard it on the news and turned around and came home. He figured if they were hitting big cities, ATL was going to be on the list.

It's hard to believe it's been 4 years.

watching CNN

Wow and i thought most people on gfy had no brains.

I watched the whole thing live in person, saw the 2nd plane hit the towers and watch them fall . It has scar'd me for life,So yeah im pretty hard on people who dont get it right since i have experienced this and lost people i knew on 9/11. One of my friends who got out of the building before the 2nd plane hit was walking down the street and the 2nd plane hit and he got hit by parts of the building and will never walk again. And my g/f just went throught the path station under the WTC 15 minutes before it happened. So yeah i think i have a reason to correct him, and if you dont like it Fuck off, watching it on TV is not the same as watching it happen. Now im off to go on the Septmeber 11th memorial motorcycle ride to honor heros ,the FDNY and NYPD which a few of my freinds are and were there when it happened.

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:

We were driving into NYC, I had a bad feeling so I had to pull off and turn around to head back to NJ. TF wasn't happy at first but then we heard the bad news on the raidio.


It was a bad day for me as we were going up to Canal St to get sunglasses.


:(

I was coming home from my first day at College in the car when I heard of the first plane hitting WTC. As I got home and turned on the tv I saw the second one hit the WTC live. That'll live with me forever that day.

I was in school

Exactly... you got your dates mixed up Naughty

Sleeping in my ex-girlfriends college dorm room skipping class. She came in and woke me up to the news. I'll never forget the feeling I had when she turned on the TV right before the second plane hit.

I was in fornt of an ATM, sitting in my car, listening to the radio while my GF was pulling out some cash..
Called off appointments I had, and went home. Watched CNN all day.

I was at the Dealership taking my Lincoln LS to be repaired for the 4th time with the same window problem, when My Brother called me and told me what happened, I quickly got a rental car and headed home just to turn the tv on as the second plane hit the tower, I sat there and watched the tv for 12 hours and skipped all my classes that day

yep me 2, I was working on my computer and had CNN on.

I was waiting for Fencing Class to begin here at the college. I was the assistant teacher but none of our students had come to class that day. One just popped in to tell us what happened and we ran for the nearest TV. Later I went and sat with my mom who was working in the Engineering building. We just sat and cried for a while watching.

driving home from school when i heard it on the radio

i was sleeping all morning. i woke up to hear some crazy messages on the machine, the world trade center is gone, america under attack. Freaked me outttt when i turned on the TV. I fell back asleep a few hours later and got woken up by some low flying fighter jets that was strafing NY/NJ. I thought a plane was gonna be crashing into my bed

i was filling a 64 ounce circle k cup with rootbeer when it happened.

I was up and getting ready to goto class. Then went to class and watched more of it and they let us all out early.

I'll never forget that morning.

My wife woke me up saying a plane had crashed into the WTC. I didn't believe her, but got out of bed after remembering a plane had hit the Empitre State Building in the 1940's. I got up, poured myself a cup of OJ, and was watching live when the second plane hit. I was stunned; I dropped my OJ on the floor.

Steve Lightspeed, Tanker, and I were all in contact with each other on ICQ quickly. Steve quickly decided no one would go into the office that day. We tried to work from home, but we were all glued to the TV. I met Steve for lunch later that day at a Wendy's; The streets were empty, and everyone was talking in hushed tones.

It's a day I'll never forget.

I was just waking up and getting online and saw the headlines - then turned on the TV

I was in bed when my sister called and told me to turn on the t.v. S he said a plane crashed into the wTC and then all of a sudden the second came in and hit the other tower. :(

Smoking a cigarette, turned on the tv, said: stupid n1ggers, then went back to smoking

I was standing in line at the DMV renewing my tag. Noone knew anything. Then when I reached the office everyone was freaking out. At first I thought it was BS. Then I left work, went home and watched all day. I guess it's kinda like the Kennedy shooting was to my parents, you never forget exactly where you were and what you were doing. :(

I was working at home writing some code. When I heard it on the tv a just sat there watching as the second plane hit.

Driving and listening to Howard Stern.

I had just woken up in time for lunch, and turned the tv moments before the second plane hit the tower, and saw it live. That woked me up pretty good. Spent the rest of the day glued to the tv.

sleeping :sleep ....my former roommate woke me up.... :(
