I woke up in 101D Lehman at UB North. My roommate was telling me some shit about a plane hit the WTC. I just figured it was a Kennedy in a little private plane. Then I saw the size of the hole and was like “fuck.” So we’re watching it live on TV when all of a sudden a second plane hit the other tower. What a feeling the realization that it was no accident was.
Then I went down to the dining hall to grab breakfast. Sat down at a table and looked up at the TV and all I saw was a cloud of dust. “Where did the first tower go?”
i remember waking up late for work flying there to turn on the radio to hear whats going on … it’s barley registering with me still … i get to work nothing is happening work closes… i call the armory…
i’m getting activated … i get there and worked for 3 days straight without sleep getting trucks and supplies ready to roll.
i was in NYC shortly after and was there for 3 weeks. then went back later and lived there for 6 months on a guarding mission.
That was an experience i will never forget as long as i live then things i saw on so many different levels. from meeting famous people to seeing a giant I-beam pulled out with a human form melted into it. All while i was 19 years old. it still blows me away to think about it.
Woke up for class and saw that a plan hit on the news. Just as I was about to leave, another one hit. Decided not to go to class that day. Watch the news the rest of the day.
i had a hot gf at the time and we did not go to school that morning and we were in my house and we smashed all day and it was on the tv… :tup: she was cute… she was real cute
BWAHAHAHAHA idk why but that had me pissing my pants
I was at Attica State Penn on a field trip for 9th grade talking to con’s that were convicted of murder while intoxicated blah blah… We got back on the bus and our teacher stands up and says “the world trade center was hit with planes and collapsed”…
sucked because every time I went to NYC I stayed in the WTC Marriot
I had just finished teaching a class when my friend came in and told me a plane hit the WTC. I was watching when the second plane hit and saw when both buildings went down. I also remember that most of the networks only broadcast WTC stuff and not regular shows for a week or so.
I will never forget watching them collapse, seeing people jump off them, or watching the people walk across the bridges to get off Manhattan island. They were all bloody, dusty and confused.
That broadcast is chilling. I remember I was in 8th grade, and for some reason our English class was in the Science room that day. The science teacher came in, and put the TV on. We just sat and watched the news all day. It was freaky. A lot of my teachers were crying, and talking on their cellphones in the classrooms and such.
I was thinking about how for a lot of you it was a half a lifetime ago.
It seems like yesterday to me.
There was a show on last weekend about what was going on in the towers at the time.
It must have been sureal for those poor people.
The renactments(sp) on the show were tear jerking.
I can’t imagine the people that walked around the corner and saw 2 gigantic buildings that they saw everyday were gone.
I just remember sitting in my Media Production class in high school and seeing all the administrators running into a back room and turning on the TV to see the two towers with smoke coming off them. Also remember trying to call my uncle who worked 6 blocks from the WTC and the panic of the lines being busy everywhere…
I never really listened to Stern but I was that day. I was running late to work, and was the first from my work to hear about this. I came into the meeting and told everyone what was going on. We couldn’t work the rest of the day since we were all trying to find out what happened, were thinking about it, and were just upset.
