Boats evacuating people from Manhattan on 9/11/2001.

This is reported to be the only video of the first plane that struck the twin towers. A firefighter (coincidentally) was out on the street practicing with a camera and instinctively looked up when he heard a plane come over very low.

At Buckingham Palace.

I remember the VG evening newspaper at the grocery store , huge image of WTC looking like smokestacks

To this day i feel a bit unsettled when i watch Kong '76 or HA 2 and see the WTC.......just an satanic act

The present-day WTC complex is quite lovely.

Well I had just gotten to work when my boss's wife called and asked if he was there yet. I told her I could see him pulling into the parking lot did she want to wait until he got in. She says yeeeessss. So he comes in gets on the phone with her and starts shouting "WHAT?! WHAT?! !
I'm like okay time to make myself scarce. But he says quick turn on the TV! It was a big flat screen (a big deal back then). And that's when I saw smoke pouring out of the twin towers. It was like watching the beginning of Armageddon.

Okay that's actually my dad's story.

I just came back from school when my aunt phoned my mother and told her to turn on TV, something was happening in the US.
I was astonished by how simple and evil the plan was.
And I thought: oh, well, future students will have to memorize today's date.

What 9/11 did for me was to screw up my routine. It created a backlog on my job. It was a pain in the butt, in general.

That's what it did to me on a purely individual, selfish level.

I was sleeping when it happened. I had a couple of relatives over who were watching TV. I heard the TV in my sleep talking about planes hitting the WTC. Then I woke up and saw what was happening.

I work in the same place as I worked then.

I was in 6th or 7th grade, at school, and I think I was in the "resource room," home base for the HFA people.

when i hadda go back to work the next day, there were military checkpoints everywhere, and hospital orderlies [i worked at madigan army med center] were transformed into BDU-wearing MPs with their M16 rifles at port arms, pacing back and forth around the perimeter of the hospital.

I had started 9th grade. I woke up to hear the news, and I was just traumatized by it for the rest of the day.
