At work at a place called mallard control, which makes and puts together valves, pumps, etc.

Heard what was going on by the radio. We were all like, what???- another plane just hit where???

Crazy day for sure..hope nothing happens this time.

Glad we have people who fight, repair, and defend our country.

[Cull Buck]

I can remember it like yesterday....I was sitting at my desk when I read on a duck hutning msg board that the WTC was on fire.  I immediately went to FOX news and saw it all happen.  

We had consultants all over the country servicing our clients so we immediately went into command center mode trying to find them and make sure they stayed put until we could figure out what was going on.

I was in Lithonia, Georgia building Stonecrest Mall.  We were getting ready to go into our weekly meeting.  One of the guys wifes worked for CNN. She called as soon as first plane hit. We turned on tv and watched 2nd plane hit.  It was a day I will never forget.

I was walking into my government/ economics class to. I was at Fairfield High though. It was kinda strange walking into a government class and seeing what was going on.

[Black Gold]

I just got thru working a night of patrol in Austin....my grandmother called and said that something bad had happened.....I turned on the news and saw the second plane hit.....Few minute later my pager was going off and we were put on mandatory response......I sat in front of the news for the rest of the day waiting to get called in........BURNT IN MY MEMORY!

I was in class at Pickering High School and we just started my second hour class when our teacher came in and cut the tv on, and then we prayed.

I was in College at Sam Houston I got out of my first class went back to my dorm and it was all over the news. I remember calling home checking on everyone and then seeing all of our guys in the reserves start gathering up and talking about going to war or going to help. It was crazy, then my next class later on in the day was not canceled like so many others had been, that professor said he would not cancel his class just because something bad had happend. I remember wanting to walk out of his class.


Thank you to everyone who is in the armed forces, police, fire fighters, and any type of first responder. God bless you and your family for what you do for our country.

I had stopped at the local cofee shop and they had the tv on. You could have heard a pin drop all the farmers and rancher that are allways there were not saying a word their eyes glued to the tv. I think every red blooded American will remember that day!

[FcHogDog]

I was sitting in my freshman math class at Falls City High School and when we heard what was going on, class stopped and every tv in the school was on.  We sat, and watched, and prayed.  Thanks to all of the men and women who have fought for our country.

I was on top of a mountain in Conifer Colorado Elk Hunting.  It was muzzleloader season and we were camping.  I knew nothing about it.  That evening as my buddy and I were glassing a field he mentioned the fact that we hadn't seen or heard any airplanes that day.  We both thought it was odd but didn't think twice about it.  We dismissed it and went on about our business.  On the 14th of September we left the mountains and headed home.  We stopped at a gas station and saw a newspaper.  We sat and read the whole thing in disbelief.  My sister lives in New York City and I immediately called her....she was fine but lost two friends that worked in Tower one.  

I now carry a radio with me whenever I'm away from civilization.

GOD BLESS OUR TROOPS!  I greatly appreciate their courage and dedication to keeping America safe.

lazyjhogdogs,

I was out there with you completing an oil well for Kerr McGee. We were testing a subsea tree and pretty much shut down when the news passed over the rig.
They radioed me from the ROV shack and said someone just accidentally flew a plan into the WTC but I knew better instantly and said it was a terrorist attack. I watched the second plane hit wile watching the tv in the mud lab.
I will never forget the since of complete helplessness I felt knowing that I couldn't get to my family in Texas.

[JandAoutdoors]

I was in my gym class my sophmore year watching it.
