What were you doing six years ago tomorrow?

[DRavenS13]

That sucks when they give you a bomb ass meal and you can't even enjoy it when you know that it might be your last.....

[eastcoastS14]

first day of highschool...we started late that year cause new schools were being built.....such a trip that thats 6 years ago, time really does fly....

I thought the same thing a lot of people did....well first I thought people were talking about the world trade center here in boston, and a tiny propeller plane....when I saw what really happened it honestly didnt faze me, it was so surreal it was like it was a movie....I was so suprised when I found out the planes left from logan airport....I went through the whole day only catching clips of what happened here and there since our school only had like 1 or 2 TV's went home and watched more.....I still have the Boston Globe from 9/12 and I might have the NY times somewhere....figured Id hold on to those for my kids and grandkids

I had just woke up and thats when the second plane hit
I though it was fake.

[A Spec Products]

I was woken up by a phone call from my mom

I was in college sophmore year just waking up for class at the time

Turned on the TV and me and my just roommate just stood there silent

Didn't know what to say, just in shock

It was unreal

[luisgonz]

I thought it was jsut another day just like no other eating a bagel in palisades. Till my classmate tells me the news. My jaw dropped like a bomb.

[DRavenS13]

I also have the newspapers from that day... I have the clippings in my daughter's baby book

[WERDdabuilder]

woke up..saw it. was a freshmen in comp class. we just watched the news all day long in school.

[CKAMC]

woke up to get ready for school.

father and myself used to watch bloomberg since we were into market info stuff.

first plane had already hit... then woosh second one right in front of us all.

dad was in that weird kinda shock, you know that "naw this aint happening" and it wasnt until he got to work that it sunk in on him.

i was a freshman and we have block schedule at school and it happen to be the late day. went to honors world history where we got a lesson on the middle east along with tv on all day.

... i remember quite a few kids leaving school or not showing up that day... i never knew how bad stuff was with us and the middle east until that day.

[EvilRB]

Was still living in Hawaii at the time and it was my day off so I didn't wake up till 12 and that was already like 6pm on the east coast or something like that.
I started freaking out cause I couldn't get through to my Mom which lives in DC and didn't really know what was going on because I was still hung over from the night before.
She was ok but she did just so happen drive by the pentagon like 5 minutes before the plane hit.

RIP to everyone that died that day and still continue to give their lives protecting us.

Oh and FUCK Bush for not finding Osama yet, but instead attacking Iraq!
It's like going in for heart surgery and getting a boob job instead!

[fromxtor]

I was at work, and saw it on the TV. Pretty much the worst 21st b-day ever, I was born on sep 24th.

[WilloW]

I was on my way to work and heard the people on KMEL freaking out , too crazy.

[deadpirate]

Thank you

On the way to 12th grade english. Got into the classroom to one tower on fire. Yelled,"HOLY FUCK THERE'S ANOTHER ONE" and everyone turns and sees the next plane hit. Surprisingly my teacher didn't care about what I said, but I wasn't waiting around for her to change her mind. Went straight home, ran a patch through all my barrels and loaded everything up.

[exitspeed]

I was sleeping when the first plan hit. I woke up got ready like normal and didn't even turn the TV on. I went downstairs (lived in a duplex above my cousin and his family), to get my Cousin Harold to go to work (we worked together at the same place), and he's like "dude check this out. A plan hit the WTC Building". So we're sitting there watching and AS WE'RE FUCKIN WATCHIN IT, the second plane hit. We were like WTF! Then we headed off to work and basically watched TV all day. No customers came in to the store really that day. But there was one couple that came in and spent like $8 grand on bedroom furniture. They said they aren't going to let these terrorists ruin their lives. They weren't being insensitive to the people who's lives were lost, but more the fact that they were trying to be strong.

It was a sad day indeed...

I was on my 2nd day of Army basic training at Fort Sill, OK. We heard it on a radio but thought it was not real until the drill sargeants let us watch the news.

Please remember those that died that day and our troops that have fought and died so we can continue to live our lives in freedom.

Edit: Almost forgot...WeST and I were in New Jersey on business, having flown into LaGuardia on that Monday. We were working in the client's data center when someone came in and broke the news. I thought it was a joke until we got to their TVs in their workout room and saw the video replay.

having a dream about china attacking the US.

then i woke up...

huh

[Andrew Bohan]

i was wondering where my friend's plane was gonna land, since she was pretty much halfway between tokyo and seattle when it happened. she landed in yellowknife, canada, and made it to seattle on the evening of sept 13

[DragonUSMC]

I was at Iowa State University, atteding school in the OCS program to become an officer in the Marines. My roommate woke me up to show me what was on TV. A few mins later my dad called me... told me i should probably get my bags ready.

That afternoon I dropped from the OCS program and went back into full time enlisted. I packed my C-bag twice... I was so pissed i could barely sit still without shaking.

[tbowzer]

Got up at 6am.
I was listening to the radio while making some breakfast,
heard the crazy ish that was going on,
turned on the tv,
Chaos in front of my eyes.

Crazy day, layed low.

RIP All lives taken that day.
We remember.

[614duece40]

i was heading from gym class when some of the teachers were yelling about it. wasn't really sure what was going on until i saw it on tv.
those firefighter's and police were some brave people, i think about something like this happening were i live, and i wonder if i would be as brave as FDNY.

[ALTRNTV]

Woke up to my alarm clock, which turns on the radio. It was all over the radio. I turned on my T.V. Went to school and watched it the whole day. A tear actually came out of my eye while I was watching it...
