Playing PLAYSTATION :P Also,i hated watching news so i NEVER knew it until a Movie came out it for it (about the Firemen stuck under the building).Sorry guys... :(
Camping with the family. We had re-entered the U.S. from Canada on 9/10, crossing the border about 12 hours before the country went into lockdown mode.
The credits for Neighbours were rolling on TV while I was revising for a resit exam during university, and the announcer came on and said they were going to the news.
Revision took a back seat while the whole thing played out on TV.
I was driving to work listening to Howard Stern talking about it...saying America was under attack. Then when I got on a shuttle bus to my building, they announced that one of the towers fell.
I was in the second grade, and I was running an errand for my teacher up to the high school (I lived in a small town where the high school and elementry school were all one big building, but on sepearate ends of the building). I really didn't understand what was going on at the time.
I was in college, getting ready to go to class. I'm eating my cereal and my roomie busts out of his room yelling "Turn on the effing news. A plane just hit the Pentagon!!!!" I too saw the second plane hit... it was, and still is, the craziest thing I've ever seen. Needless to say, classes were canceled for the day and we sat glued on the news all day. It's a real shame that NYC hasn't erected any form of memorial for this tragedy. Even with $10 million in tax dollars allocated just for that purpose.
Freshman year of high school in my intro CAD class. Mr. Hicks rushes into the room and turns on the TV and turns to CNN just in time to watch the second plane crash into the WTC. I peek out into the hallway and there's students and faculty moving about, people crying, talking about the events that just unfolded, etc. Pretty surreal moment for me.
7th grade waiting for classes to start and my friend told me a plane crashed into a building in new york. Since I'm in the west coast of Canada all we really did was watch the news for the first bit of class rather than doing whatever inane 7th grade thing we were supposed to be doing.
[QUOTE="xaos"]Yep, I was ironing clothes getting ready for a job interview at CNN in Atlantaseabiscuit8686
What do you do out of curiosity
I was a sophmore in HS in a course called "Independant Living"
I'm a programmer; I was supposed to interview for a job working on their web content management system, but unsurprisingly, they pushed my interview to the following day. And I didn't get the job.
I just Googled it and i remember what happend now. Sorry, i was thinking of some thing else. I was just watching the TV and when I turned on the news I saw it.
[QUOTE="MediumBread"][QUOTE="tocklestein2005"] dude, even tho you're a "noob" on GS you expect us to believe you don't know?Atmanix
No srsly, what happend?
You're not even close to doing it right. I'd suggest making another account and trying again.
Preferably try it on another forum and come back when you're halfway decent. That way you're somewhat charming when you do finally decide to give it another go here.
There were two fifth grade classes, one in a big room and the other in a smaller room. My class was in the big room. The teacher from the small room comes in and talks about something with my teacher and they bring the kids from the smaller room into the big room. I hear the teacher of the smaller room saying something like "oh god, i hope she is okay". He must have known someone in NYC that day. They wheel a TV into the room and i remember the building falling and my teacher crying.
My grandpa says he remembers when JFK was assassinated. I guess they were both similar situations.
driving to work. heard it on the radio and when i got into my office tried to look up more info on the news but new websites were pretty much getting slammed so they were crazy slow. eventually my boss got a pic of the north tower with a huge hole in it and we found out it wasn't a small little plane that hit it. spent the rest of the day at work basically just trying to get news info. at one point they turned on some tv's they had around our offices on and we saw the 2nd tower collapse live. evening was spend ( obviously ) just watching more news coverage.
I was stationed at Ofutt AFB in Nebraska. When I heard what happened, the base went on immediate lockdown, and I had to quickly help people get ready for deployment. Being that my family lived in Jersey City across the Hudson River from the WTC, I couldn't get in touch with them for almost a week after it happened.
