bangbang023 Veteran Posted August 6, 2006 Veteran Share Posted August 6, 2006 At home, in Brooklyn, getting ready to head to class. Once the first plane hit, my mom refused to let me get on the subway to get to school. Then our concerned turned to my Dad who worked 3 or 4 blocks away from the towers (One of the engines landed across the street from his building). I'm not sure why I did it, but I instead of sitting around I went to my old elementary school (I used to volunteer a lot) and asked them if they needed any help considering the amount of parents calling in and such. I spent a good 3 or 4 hours running up and down getting messages to teachers. One thing I remember is how close the plume of smoke seemed. I would have sworn it was a few blocks away. My grandmother, who lives a little closer to the city than I do, actually had papers falling in her neighborhood from the towers. I don't think it all hit me until two things happened. Firts, my dad described how horrified he was to see those people jumping from the tower. Second, when the Yankees lost the World Series that year, the breath of hope just sort of left the city and I broke down a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ash Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 I woke up and turned on the TV, it was on the news. The first plane had recently hit, the 2nd hadn't yet. I phoned one of my friends and my grandfather. Both are real news hounds, always watch the news, especially when something big happens. I phoned them cause I knew they probably didn't know or else they'd have called us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John S. Veteran Posted August 6, 2006 Veteran Share Posted August 6, 2006 I was at work. We had a piece of equipment down that we had to lock out so maintenance work could be done. We had gone back into the control room to get a valve wrench or something and saw it on TV, we just stopped in amazement and watched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+StevoFC MVC Posted August 6, 2006 MVC Share Posted August 6, 2006 I was in my dorm room at the University of Pittsburgh at the time. My roomate was in class and he came back and I was like, look at the tv... It was crazy watching it. Before they knew what exactly was going on they were freaking out at Pitt because we have the Cathedral of Learning which is the 2nd tallest educational building in the world.

Orange Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 I was in work and some girl said a small plane hit the trade centre.. i didn't take notice at first but then more and more people were leaving to go home and the staff were going upstairs in the staff room so i followed and watched tv for some hrs. Then went home and watched some more news. Think i spent more time that day watching the news then anyother except for the london bombings :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Pink Panther Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 I was at school. They didn't tell/notify us.

+Warwagon MVC Posted August 6, 2006 MVC Share Posted August 6, 2006 I remember getting into my car to go to work that day and hearing them talk about something on the radio, I wasn't sure what. Then when I got to work my co worker that sits a cubical next to me told me what was going on, so I was streaming it from cnn, and msnbc, I remember watching the towers fall on the video stream it was the most nerv racking day in recent memory.

Chris Allen Veteran Posted August 6, 2006 Veteran Share Posted August 6, 2006 I was in the school library on one of the computers during a first period spare. I remember watching it all go down on the computer while a crowd of people stood around me watching. The rest of the day we watched the television and listened to the radio seeing everything unfold. It was quite the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PL_ Veteran Posted August 6, 2006 Veteran Share Posted August 6, 2006 Playing BOK, a Breakout clone, on Sky. Got to level 4, when my mum walks in and says "I need the TV", and I explained my situation involving gaming glory, and all she said was "This is serious" And the rest, they say, is history...
