wow. Five years already. I remember it mostly, because my parents and I where packing to visit some of my dads friends in Colorado, and then NY, when my sister called and told us to turn on the TV. And bam..there wheree the towers. We had to wait a week before we could go. I remember panicking and quickly emailing the friends in NY to hear if they where ok. Thankfully that was the case. One had, without us knowing it, moved to Canada, while the other lived in Jersey.

It seems like it was just yesterday. And yet, I was still in ninth grade at the time. I actually remember that I was late that day, and hadn't had the time to do anything but rush to school...and then when I walked into my classroom...it had been dead silent. I remember someone shushing me, and the TV had been on. I had thought that they were just watching a movie...but they hadn't. And I started at the TV in growing horror. And then it had mentioned when the planes had hit the first tower...and I had realized that I had just been getting out of the shower that morning at that time. And then I became afraid as I suddenly realized what this meant...that everything would change...and I knew that we would go to war. And that the peace that had been throughout my life would now cease to exist.

I don't remember anything past that. I have no memory of the rest of that day.

It was a day that changed our lives forever. Thanks for sharing your experience!

Wow...

I remember I was in a computer class in my first semester at college, and on the way i had heard it on the radio. I went into class, and class started, but i decided to watch the story unfold on a news channel online. Class canceled soon after that, and my sister and i went a long way home because the interstate was at a standstill. the we watched everything unfold at home on the tv. i even remember what i was wearing at the time (jeans and a blue and red shirt).

I didn't even know about it that day until my second class of the day.Though I know now that by the time I was going to my first class, the first tower at least had been hit (I'm in the central time zone). I didn't know until the end of my second class, to be exact. It was my first year in college too. The class had probably 500 students in it as it was held in an aud. The Prof. had a Q/A session at the end of each class and the second question that was ask of her was how she felt about the bombings.

My Prof was also a student and hadn't had the chance to turn on the news before biking to class and work so she had to have the girl quickly explain what had happened. A large majority of the studnets in class didn't know about it either as half if not all of the class started murmuring about the whole thing. Without being able to answer the question my Prof ended class 15 minutes early and told us to go back to our dorms/apartments/homes and start watching if we didn't have a class to attend after her's.

All classes were cancled by 1pm that day if the teachers hadn't already cancled there class on thier own because of the events.

I remember getting back to my dorm room and flipping on the TV and seeing the first tower fall. All I could do was look at it in shock and cry; I'm not easily brought to tear but the towers falling... even now thinking about the whole events unfolding. I didn't know anybody in it nor do I know if I know anybody who knew people in it but it still shakes me to this day.

Funny thing, not as it hahah but as in odd/interesting, I remember being in the campus cafateria after that day and always around lunch time they'd play the national anthem in there. That was never done before that and it's no longer done now. I think it was more in memory of it during the first few months after it happened.

I was at work at the time... one of our customers, who's in the Docklands area in London, rang up to say they were being evacuated from their building as a precaution, and had we seen what was going on in New York? BBC News website was crawling under the load, but we managed to get the jist of what was going on.

Later, when I got to the station, the trains were delayed due to security checks, and the TV in the taxi office had one of the news channels on, showing the whole sequence of events, and people standing around looking dazed.
