I went for a walk with my dog. When I came back, I turned on the TV and there was NY from a distance and smoke rose from the towers. It was total confusion at first of what happened. I watched the total horror unfolding and I was too schocked to even get my coffee.

I was sitting in a car showroom and they had a Tv for their customers My Husband and I were the only ones in there and a guy came in and said what was wrong as I burst into tears could not believe what was happening the whole car show room came in and we watched and no said a word I dont think anyone could speake and I think we couldnt belive whats was happening I just feel it happened yesterday 11 years ???

I was enrolled in some local college classes and during my 10 minute break, I called a friend  to chat, this is when she informed me the United States  is under attack.

When classes resumed, I told the instuctor's what was taking place, they were speechless, I'm not sure they believed me at first, but one of them left the room and came back 30 minutes later to confirm what I had said. Most of the people in class were wanting to leave because the local university cancelled classes as soon as the attacks were confirmed, but I was at the local junior college and they would not let us leave.

Woke up in the morning,  put the T.V on, and there it was, on every channel.

I was at work and we all had radios and heard about it first through them.  One poor guy had a two inch TV and about 20 of us crowded around him to watch. It was awful and confusing. I remember thinking the first hit was an accident, it never crossed my mind that it would be an "on purpose"......

My exact thoughts!

I heard it on the radio very early in the morning here.Panic. Our daughter was supposed to be in New York.Took 12 hours to get her on the phone.

Heard it on the TV. News .It didn`t sink in ,later on live coverage Thought this cant be "true .Shock ,and anger was my "Reaction !! These "evil Cowards Not "Humans .Question can we "Trust Muslins ! they are in every country in the world "WHY !!

I do not believe 9-11 to be the work of Muslims. I believe it was a cooperative effort between radical militants and members of the US government. When it comes to a trust issue, look at your own government first. 9-11 could not have happened without inside help and planning.

Colleen

They could not have done this without inside help. All security at the World Trade center was shut down just a few weeks before the towers were hit. All bomb sniffing dogs were removed while inside "renovations" were performed. UK news televised the collapse of the second tower, 20 minutes before the live air collapse was shown here in the US.

Colleen

Explosives were place in the towers prior to 9-11. There was a video on you-tube that mysteriously disappeared after it showed explosions going off on each level as the tower began collapsing straight down into it's own footprint.
It was good for Bush.

Colleen

Show me where I said Bush ordered that attack. WTC, they found one pristine ID belonging to a supposed terrorist. Everything else burned to ash except this one id. Uh huh. This governmental kills innocent people every day for agendas. Just keep the blinders on. You will feel safer that way.

After I heard about both towers getting hit, I did what any other red-blooded all-American girl would do.......I called my mom !!

I will never forget that morning...and the weeks that followed!  What a terrible time for us (US)!  and so many questions linger!

I was working across the street from Battery Park at the time, several blocks from the towers. I took that day off a week in advance. I was driving my wife to work and heard it on the radio. Later that morning I actually saw the towers go down. I couldn't watch it anymore on TV. Till this day I can't watch it.

I was sicker than a dog when my mother called long distance freaking out...I turned on the tube and saw it all unfold...shocking and surreal...our island was so quiet for 5 days after that we could hear the Harp Seals way out on the rocks...no air or unwarranted water traffic made for a strange quiet where otherwise was a constant hum of activity  here on Canadas' west coast.

I was working in my office at the time, and my son phoned to say he was watching it on TV . I coudn't beleive it ,  I said to him are you sure you are not watching a film, and he said no it's really happening.I  like most was totaly shocked and numberd by it all.

i remember i didnt have to work that day. i got up, got my kids off to school and switched on th tv. at first i thought i was seeing a movie of some sort. then i realized what was going on. all i could do was sit and watch in horror and disbelief. i too cried for days and thats all we talked about for a long time. i pray nothing like that ever happens again, to anyone.

I was asleep and my mom woke me up and said "we're under attack". I didn't quite understand her,  so I turned on the TV and saw the first tower being hit. All I could think was, some air traffic controllers are in some big trouble.(not those words) Then I saw the second plane and I new this was not an accident. Then I saw the pentagon and all the people in NY in total shock. Then the tower fell and the people was running for their lives. I was in total shock. I was glued to the TV day and night for days. I prayed, I cried, and I got angry. 11 years later and I still get teary eyed when talking or thinking about 9/11. Especially for the people who made the decision to jump from the tower instead of burning to death.

My friend and I ,were on holidays in States at the time. We were on coach, on way from Branson to N York,, when news came on radio. Our tour guide tried to explain to us, what had happened, but she was so shaken, we did not fully understand, That is, until we booked into our Hotel, and put on TV, it was like a horror movie, we were in so much shock, we switched TV off.

On my way to work listening to Howard Stern on the radio. Astonishingly surreal.
