Where were you when 9/11 happened

I was in art class when my teacher told us. He also told us that 'without doubt, the IRA had a part to play in this'

It was weird in our school though, because our vice-principal's daughter was over in New York, and he had spoken to her the night before saying she was going to go to the WTC first thing tomorrow morning. As far as he knew, she was up in the viewing deck at the very top when the planes hit.

It turned out she had managed to get up there just before it closed the night before. She still has the ticket which she bought for the 11th of September

Dunno, and don't care.

Just off a plane home from the States a couple of hours. Went to The Kitchen that night and got completely hammered on €1 vodka's and Redbull that night. In mourning of course.

I was in a free class in Secondary School when our headmistress came in and told us that terrorists had flown two planes into the World Trade Centre and that it had collapsed. Note that she told us around 15 minutes after the second plane had hit.

Then on the bus home, I was told by a friend that a "missile" was heading for Washington. I proceeded to gibber and I actually remember saying something along the lines of "I'd be far happier if that was another plane than a missile". I arrived home at 5:10 to footage of the WTC attacks and news of the Pentagon attack as well as the Pennsylvania crash.

I was watching TV in a doctors waiting room when I heard about the first one.

The second was a bit after, when I walked into a pub for an update on the first.

Curiously; two years two weeks before I was at the top of the World Trade Centre in the Sky Bar.

Rather shockingly, I was also in the night club in Bali that got blown up, approximately two years before that happened. It was the biggest one in Kuta, and I thought it was fun....

I was sitting having dinner on a beach in Koh Samui in Thailand.

It was a lovely meal and a fanastic night ... Pity about the planes ...

I was in Chicago, i got woke up about 9.20 and all i could hear was traffic outside going nuts and firetrucks and police cars try to get thru the traffic. I started to get freaked out when i looked out the window and i saw a load of business men walking up the street with their computers and stuff. We got evacuated from our apartment and everything because one of the planes was apparantly on its way to Chicago (the one that got "shot down"). We didn't have a TV in our apartment only a radio so we listened to the radio all day. The first time i saw any footage of the plane crashes was two years later! Weird to think that i didn't see any footage while living in the states! I got a flight back from Chicago on the 13th, spent about 30 hours in the airport waiting for a flight. I was glad to get back home.

i was on the tail end of 3 days without sleep, sitting in netshop checking news sites and caught it about 2 minutes after the first plane hit. sat there thinking i was hallucinating due to lack of sleep.

we watched the second plane live and were listening to the emergency services radio on shoutcast until the second tower fell, then i had a nap.
