I was sitting at the foot of my bed putting my socks on getting ready for work while watching the news when they broke in with the fist plane strike. I actually was wearing a red, whit and blue golf shirt. I'll never forget the next door neighbor kid saying I looked like a flag. Then I got to work and realized the seriousness of the situation. My co workers asked me to go back home and get my tv to bring into work, seeing as I only live 2 miles from the office. I also remember standing outside with my co workers saying how eerie it was not hearing any planes flying over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At first they thought it was a movie til they realized it wasnt. I will always remember them clutching me at my waste and crying.. asking.. "Dad, can we go home".. for they we had only moved to Canada the year before.. It was pretty traumatic for my young family for they were away from the country they knew as home and the US had closed the border... In the days afterward, we helped supply meals to the hundreds of fellow American travellers who were stranded in Calgary when the borders and skies over the US were closed. We as a family will never forget that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

I Had On 77 WABC & They Kept Saying "The WTC Has Had A Plane Hit Into It, The Second Tower Is Open For Business, Everything Is Under Control." Then The Second Plane Hit & I Said "We Are At War".

It was about 6:55 here and within 5 minutes I watched the first tower fall on live TV. I remember calling my dad and asking if he had heard and that one tower had just fallen. He thought it was just a plane crash at first until I told him the other tower was hit too and I just watched the tower fall.

We watched the 2nd plane hit as it happened. Our hearts sank because we realized none of it was an accident. As more information began to unfold, I called the kids' school to tell them what had happened and made arrangements to pick them up immediately. I felt so much fear and uncertainty so I wanted us all together. The school had no tv so I explained all that had happened. One teacher thought I was overreacting until I explained the events. I'll never forget the look on her face and seeing her eyes well up with tears. We prayed together in our family room once we were at home. I'll never forget that day.

My daughter was 8 months old and I was only going into work that morning to do some paperwork, my family and I owned 2 tobacco and beer stores, and then I was going back home to my daughter. I remember walkin by the tv in the office and i thought my sister in law was watching a movie, which we did in the mornings alot cause it was slow, and she didnt say much as some customers came in. Then all of a sudden she screamed and I came out and she said "look" and her face was pale white. I remember I just fell down in a chair right beside our counters and my mouth was wide open. I told her lets go home and we went home and got close to our familes and watched the horror unfold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember walking past all of the open class room doors seeing that all of the TVs were on the same channel with the same picture. A picture of smoke billowing from the towers is still fresh in my memory as if it were yesterday. I returned to my classroom and watched the coverage with the rest of my class mates.
