All will remember were they were that day at 1,51 pm.

 

Myself,at work listening to Talk Sport and Mike Parry broke the news

I was in work, the site I was using for updates has bumped the thread back up. Crazy shit.

I was here, "working" at my desk just as I am now.

 

I got an email from my mate saying a plane had crashed into one of the towers. Didn't think much of it straight away... but as it unfolded it was hard to comprehend the severity of it all. I think it only really started to sink in that night when I got home and watched it on the news. It still seems a bit surreal. When I went to NY a couple of years ago and went to Ground Zero, it was hard to believe that two such enourmous building used to be there and so many people had died there.

I was also at work, getting towards the end of lunchtime.

Ended up watching events unfold for the rest of the day.

Oops. Double post.

i was on a day off from work sat watching it on the T.V on me mum & dads couch. (was only 16 at the time) Couldnt grasp what i was watching. Even watching it again now its incredible that all that ACTUALLY happened.

 

R.I.P

I remember getting picked up from primary school and hearing on the radio that the Queen had sent her condolences to America. I sat at home with the family with the news on for the rest of the day, never really being able to appreciate the severity of what had happened.

why do people keep asking me this?

 

It wasn't me

 

they got the bloke that did it

 

 

 

 

anyway

 

I was at work telling folk about my holiday that I'd been on the week previous, to New York

 

went up them on 9/2

 

came home on 9/7

 

am certain this post is an SEB

Was working on a building site in Warrington when Gubbins missus rang him to tell him what had happened, i had the news on the car radio all the way home and missed a few junctions in Birchwood.

i was at primary school, we got called into an assembly and were told the news. dreadful news to hear as a nine year old. place was silent

I was in work at Hindley YOI, my office wsas one of the only ones with a TV, there must have been about 20 jailers crammed in watching it, I'll never forget it.

I was rendering a wall in Ormskirk when the news on the radio filtered through. I only realised the true extent of the attack when I got home and saw the News.

I was in Wigan knocking door-to-door ripping people off putting their gas and electric bills up and i honestly thought it was a film. As i went round the pie-eaters were saying how dreadful it was and i thought, God these lot take their films seriously. When i got home i watched the news till midnight.

Was at school, didn't hear anything until I got home, then as soon as I walked through door and into front room, it was on t.v, as BB said it did look like some kind of film, didn't expect this kind of thing to be real.

I was sat in a pub.

I was working in an office in Reading. Someone had a news strip scrolling across their screen, so then got sky news pics on.

on a plane flying to the us made to land in newfoundland slept on a school floor for 4 nights before letting us continue our flight to florida,didn'tknow what had happend as we where kept on the plane for 18 hours before the red cross got us off to take us to the school only info we got was the u.s had come under attack and many had died

In the office in Piccadilly. One of the few times in seven years of commuting that people spoke on the train coming home I seem to recollect! Spent the rest of the night in front of the box.

Watching it unfold on tv on day off from 6 th form!

In work, working. On a holiday brochure. Heard about the first plane hitting the twin towers. Instantly thought it was the ones in Kuala Lumpur. Probably cos I was working on a Far East brochure at the time. Then heard it was New York. Presumed it was foggy or something and a big accident (small plane, etc). Then the 2nd hit and we all realised something was amiss. Went down to canteen and loads were watching it unfold on TV. Phone the mrs, she was sat at home glued to Sky News.

 

Saw both towers collapse. Was very surreal.

 

Think I watched Sky News solidly for about 7-10 days thereafter.

 

Still to this day think, as sick as it sounds, that this was a tremendous feat from the terrorists. To pull off such an attack on the No.1 super-power in the most famous city on the planet.... taking out such iconic towers was one hell of an achievement.

 

My 2nd daughter was born 6 weeks later and I felt sad that she was coming into a very very uncertain world.

In a pub in Leve getting a prematch sesh underway.

 

I remember the BBC reporting it and an expert saying it may be a "lear jet" I thought that's no lear jet.

 

Got pissed off for most of the afternoon as I have family over there but was that early in the morning/lazy bastards in the family that no one was at work. My uncle used to be a captain in NYFD but had retired a couple of years previous.

Was at work in Canterbury, Front of House burst into the marketing office shouting they are blowing up America! We all took the piss.

 

Spent the rest of the night watching it with people who I'd just moved in with. Can't say I really took in the significance

of it as I was trying to chat up the girl who lived opposite during most of the coverage when she popped round.

taking out such iconic towers was one hell of an achievement.

 

 

I honest don't think they planned for it, I think it was simply 'luck' (for want of a better word) on their part that they collapsed. Flying planes into the WTC, the Pentagon and almost the White House was already the biggest and most shocking terrorist atrocity ever - the sheer scale of destruction and loss of life due to the twin towers falling compounds this immeasurably.
