Where were you on Sept.11th?

[ar0ck]

Its hard to believe that it was 5 years ago... but where were you when it all happened?

[Tru2Chevy]

In one of my Spanish classes @ college, taking an exam. While leaving the classroom building, I saw a bunch of people in one of the auditoriums by the front door, and I stopped to see what they were watching. I walked to the door just in time to see the 2nd plane hit....

I was tha Finance Director for St Peters Hospital in New Brunswick, as I walked into the office I watched the whole thing live as it happened.

The hospital was put on alert and no one could go home, State alert said thousands of injuries may flood all hospitals in NY and NJ. We were released that night, not a soul could be found on the streets and F-16's were in the sky.

I was in my History of Architecture class at NJIT. The rest of the morning was spent standing on the roof of the School of Architecture watching the smoke in complete disbelief as one of my professors who worked on the original structural design for the towers predicted within seconds how long it would take the towers to fall. It's hard to believe it's been five years.

I was home in bed when the first plane hit... I was home on disability when I had one of the operations on my arm. My mom woke me up and I was glued to the tv all day...

i was in teaneck landscaping, while in and out of the trucks i didnt catch much of what was going on at first. When the fighter jets started blasting overhead towards the GWB and the city is when we stopped and listened to the radio to see what really was going on. We ended the day around 12 noon and went home, not knowing if more was going to happen that day.

I was at the corner of Boundary and Vanderburg Roads on the Colts Neck/Marlboro boarder when the news broke in on the radio. When I got to work, we were all in the CEO's office watching it on TV and saw the 2nd plane hit. The husband of one of our CSR's was in one of the Towers for a meeting that morning, and never made it out. She new he was downtown that day, but didn't know he was in there. Later that day, we could see the smoke streaking across the eastern sky.

[foff667]

at work listening to pst on the radio at my old bank...went home on my lunch at around 11am to see the **** going down...they called me back in to count down our drawers & we went home early.

When I got home my neighbor told me about it, I was home alone till about 9 at night scared to death till my aunt came over and spent the night.

I was in Boston on business for a conference. We had one morning session before we were to head to the airport to fly home. I was in my room getting ready to head downstairs when I saw the first report. It was orignally being reported as just an accident. I went down to the session and about 20 minutes into it the whispering started. I went out in the hallway and found out what really happened.

The hotel was very gracious and extended everyones reservations as best they could. We were there for another 2-3 days before we could find a limo company to drive us back to NJ. There were no available rental cars within 200 miles, so we had no choice to stay where we were.

The night I finally got home I learned they had arrested one of the suspects in the very hotel we were staying at - about 20 minutes after we had left.

The toughest part of the day for me personally was not being able to get in touch with Mike or my parents. I was standing in the lobby of the hotel when I FINALLY got though to my parents. I broke down in tears the moment my Dad answered the phone. I did not get ahold of Mike until that evening. He and my parents were communicating so he knew I was OK eventually.
