I was 14 and I walked into barber school.
I was under the influence and I thought
that it was a movie. I saw the smoke
coming from the building and it looked
like an action flick. I remember thinking
why are they showing this in barber
school? I stayed in the back of the class
and never looked at the tv again. I was
oblivious. I went home early that day and
passed out until 7 that night. My friend
called me and told me all that happened.
I was shocked and horrified. I felt so
horrible. Just reading this post has
brought tears to my eyes. All those
people.
God Bless America.

I was.. 20 years old.. (god im old) i was
at my apartment sleeping when the first
plane hit..
My younger brother (news addict) ran into
my room and woke me up screaming about how
a plane had hit the world trade center in
New York.. so i got up, and went to look
at what he was ranting about, and sure
enough.. Then we saw the second one hit,
and i just started crying.. Called my mom
at work, and then walked up to her work
(our apt complex was right behind there)
and just sat there, in awe, watching TV.
Sad..

I was 16 at the time, junior year in HS
and sleeping when it happened. I got up
and got ready for school that morning
w/out knowing anything. When I got on the
city bus on my way to school I heard
people chattering to each other " did you
hear what happened in New York?"
I still didn't really know anything until
I got to my first period class and
everyone was talking about it and freaking
out, so then I turned to a classmate and
said " what is everyone talking about?
what happened?" I was shocked when they
told me but it still didn't seem real
until I went to my next class and my
teacher turned on the news and we watched
footage of it pretty much for the entire
class..I was so shocked! it was like that
for the rest of the day at school and a
lot of people were scared, it brought a
lot of us closer even though it happened
so far away. Everyone was just so nice to
each other and really comforting towards
one another too. I cant believe its was so
long ago already.

I was at work and went so histerical I
went to my son's aviation acadamy and got
him out. As we drove home with me in
litteral tears (That was my home) we then
hear about the pentagon and then we knew
this was it. I took me a couple of months
to figure things out, paying close
attention later on to the Warren
Commission.
