Where were you on 9-11

[Scott]

I was catching a hog.

That's where I would have preferred to be myself. Instead, I was listening to the news on the Radio waiting to get onto Lackland AFB. The lines were so long for the next month or so I had to leave 2 hours early just to get to work on time.

I was on a tank gunnery range in Fort Hood, the first thing we heard was when our Sergeant Major told us that the Pentagon had been bombed, then later we learned about the towers.

i was working at a place called Kent Industries as a machinist. had a radio on the machine and heard about the first plane hitting. we thought it might be some kind of radio show prank(albeit a bad one) or something, then they said the second plane hit. i guess for our generation this is like the kenedy assasination moment. my mom still remembers vividly where she was and what she was doing when she heard the news he had been shot.

i was at school eating lunch when i found out. i looked up and my mom was standing in the hall crying because she couldnt get ahold of my dad who is a pilot. we didnt hear from him for 8 hours. it is still a hard day to think about.

I was just waking up in my dorm at Midland college Midland Texas . Asked a friend what was going on.

My crew and I were putting in electrical conduits for CPS behind the stage at Sunken Gardens Theater in San Antonio. I went into a little store to get something to drink and a cop and the clerk were watching it on TV when the 2d plane hit. I was at the counter.

When I got back I told the fellow driving my dump truck what was going on and for the rest of the day one or the other of us was listening to the radio. He heard it when the Pentagon got hit and told me.  By the time I got home to a TV the Trade Center buildings had already fell down.

I was in the Army and we were in the doing Training in Germany. We had just come out of the field and were cleaning our gear. A guy ran over to the mud Quarantine area (mad cow) and said someone just crashed a plane into the world trade center.  we sat around a radio and listened to the 2nd and 3rd. Alot of stuff followed after that. our gear went to the coast to be shipped (no Idea where)  and we sent back to Italy but to a different base and lived in a warehouse for a couple of weeks. It was a weird deal.

James (my husband) was off that day. He was watching the morning news while I was cooking breakfast, he said "come look at the tv, a plane just flew into a building in New York!" That was when the first plane hit. I turned the stove off and went in the living room to see what had happened and it wasn't long before the second plane hit the other tower. We sat, glued to the tv all day watching 9-11 unfold in disbelief. I just sat on our couch and cried. We knew that it was the start of a war. It's one day I'll never forget.

I was leaving my dorm at Stephen F. Austin State University when I looked at a group of people watching the big screen down stairs when I seen what had happened. Went to class and the professor canceled it. Who knew 2 years later I would join the army and finally get the chance to serve in Iraq coming this fall after being in for 4 years now......lol.

Got ready for a college class, walked downstairs, and saw my father staring at the TV with a blank stare.  I asked him what happened, and he said a plane crashed into the WTC.  Couldn't believe it until the second hit.  Was like watching a movie, just couldnt believe it was really happening.
