^^^ Shenanigans...George Bush cannot read, he had to keep mouthing the words which were getting piped in throught the vents over his head. Had he stopped it would\'ve been like Milli Vanilli and Ashley Simpson.

George W. was reading books to some children in school. When he was told that the first tower had been hit, he kept on reading to the kids.

I was getting ready for my uncle\'s memorial service in Branford...we had the service and then all went to Tommy Sullivans, which he used to go to and watched the story unfold on TV...two days later I found out My Dad(r.i.p.) had cancer. I can honestly say that that was the worst week of my life.
im sorry dude. those are some heavy hits with no time to catch your breath. only makes you stronger today man.

i was working. at NY downtown hospital. 4 blocks away. i was trapped in a store when the south tower fell. i came home covered in soot.
Are you **** SER???????????
PS...sorry I missed the boomers.
yeah.. i never told you before? i don\'t talk about it much anyway.
don\'t blame ya. that day is a black mark on my soul and I was thousands of miles away. can\'t imagine being up close and personal to that kind of misery and destruction.
i saw a lot of things that day that i wish i never saw, and i hope i never see again. i can honestly say that i have never been more afraid before, and i didn\'t think i was coming home.

I was working at a bank here in Cheshire. We carried the TV out to the front, so we could see what the hell was going on, why this was happening. After the 2nd tower got hit, we got word that our bank branch in Meriden had just been robbed. The president told us to close all our offices and go home.

I was at work when the radio cut off midsong to announce it after a few customers asked if we heard about it (I thought the 1st one or two were joking). I drove home quickly to grab a tv so the guy and I that were working could watch and made it back in time to watch the 2nd plane hit live. We then watched the coverage the rest of the day while customers would just stare at the screen with us. By the end of the day it was rumored that some victims would be coming to Yale Hospital which freaked me out for two days. I was scheduled to undergo significant surgery and was worried the hospital was gonna get attacked. Tomorrow is my 4 year anniversary of never having belly-button lint again. I spent a little over two weeks in the hospital in bed with nothing to watch but 9/11 coverage and it was a depressing two weeks.

Junior year (high school) English class. Teacher had no idea what to do, so we went right on with Brave New World by Aldous Huxley. All that I remember is being glued to the TV. I was one of the lucky ones, I guess. I know plenty of people who work and live in the city, but I didn\'t lose anybody close.
It still breaks my heart to hear about people losing loved ones so needlessly.

I was sitting in a college class, though I had no idea what had occured till midday ( I had a tendency of going back to sleep after my 8 am class, in part due to midweek Breakfast shows - though I never missed a class no matter how late I stayed up). When I woke up from the nap, I heard about all the events and spent the rest of the day wondering if any other horror was planned.
The strangest part of that morning was a lesson my teacher was giving about how he made the elevators more efficient in a high-rise building while on a consulting gig. I remember thinking about how dangerous a tower could be in the event of a fire or monstrous earthquake, just a few minutes prior to the events.
A girl from my high school died due to being stuck on a floor above the impact zone. Seems like everyone knows someone that was affected.
I have also heard a lot of remarkable stories about people calling in sick or coming into work late on the day of the attacks.

i was in homeroom at 9:05, also like holly in westchester with a school full of kids with parents in the city. my aunt happened to work one block from the towers, she got off the subway and started walkin up the stairs when a huge cloud of soot came pouring down. she was one of the very few lucky ones who got on a train before they shut down the lines. i must say in the four years since the tragedy i have been out of state for a good amount of that time, and i have seen more nypd fdny t-shirts hats stickers "never forget" memoribilia and such than yankees mets giants jets and rangers gear combined. and everytime i see something of the sort it still sends me back to the moment of sheer disbelief. the moments of that morning have been seared into our memories, just like our state motto "I LOVE NY"

I had just gotten out of my state-wide Graduation Qualifying Exams at my high school. I went into the orchestra room where everyone was just sitting around without their instruments in their hands. I asked what was going on, and my director just shook her head and told me to watch the TV in the music office. The second I walked in, I saw the first tower fall. I was absolutely paralyzed. My dad was on a business trip in Miami and we had no idea when he would be able to come home. One thing that I distinctly remember that night was seeing both Peter Jennings and Tom Brokaw start crying on the air.

i was in high school history class when the first plane hit and a teacher came in to tell my teacher what had happened. most of the students at school didn\'t really know what was going on at that time, but by the end of the class period my whole school was in a state of hysteria. kids and teachers were running around the school crying. this was when i lived in westchester, ny and literally everyone\'s parents worked in nyc, including my dad. there was only one tv in the school that was hooked up to cable and it was in the teacher\'s lounge, so no teachers were in classrooms. i tried getting in touch with anyone in my family but cell phones in the tri-state area were all **** up. luckily, my older sister was home from northeastern for the week and showed up at my school to get me.
-
also in Aruba, by this point in the day I was starting to pour whiskey down my throat at a mean pace and avoid conversations w/ the annoying americans that wanted to sit in prayer circles holding hands and singing.
I\'m glad I had a pretty good set of friends w/ me to mourn proper.

I was living in Westport, Massachusetts in a house on the beach. I woke up that morning to an unbelievable day. I got into my car and heading to school with a 10 minute drive ahead of me. When I arrived at school, I took a stroll through the comuter cafe, as it was common to do, to see who was at school or hanging out. The giant screen TV\'s and everything where on and everyone was glued to the TV. I watched as the 2nd plane hit the other tower and then shortly later, watched it colapse. I went to my class that was canceled almost immediately. The school was shut down and they sent us home. The lot trying to leave school took an hour to leave the campus. Not really knowing the full extent of the tradegy that just occured. A few of us grabbed some beer and headed to my place. What we found out later that evening was that our neighbor and CT native was a stewardess on Flight 11. She was from Guilford.

trying to get some folks on the phone....that sucked

i woke up for class and turned on the tv. saw peter jennings and watched the 2nd plane hit live. was kind of in shock, and left for school and listened to what was going on on the radio on the way there. when i got to class, it seemed like no one had known what was going on.. i just sat there, still and silent the whole time.. i just remember having the worst feeling about our country being taken over or something.. it wasn\'t easy to sleep for the next couple of weeks..

Driving to work at the meadows when first hit, pulled into the lot just after second. Heard it all live on npr. :(

I was in Aruba with friends. We were scheduled to leave on 9/11/2001. As we were all packed and eating our last breakfast at the hotel, we heard the news. We quickly realized that there was no way we were getting off the island that day.... We watched the news from about 10am through the rest of the night in complete surreal awed disbelief..... We ended up getting on the first plane off the island heading to Laguardia on 9/18/2001....
