I had traveled to Ky from Florida and was with my mother and family when the first plane hit. I knew something was wrong and watched as the events unfolded.

I had just put down a down payment for a brand new Harley and remember thinking , what have I done.

Being so far from home I went out that evening to gas up, so was everyone else. What a feeling.

Where were you?

It was my day off from work. I had slept in a little, got up made coffee and turned the tv on and saw the report. I sat in disbelief, drinking my coffee, watching the events unfold. It was a very sad day for the USA. I have to admit, I cried while watching it.

It was a normal work day for me until the first plane hit; my boss came out in the plant and was expressing his unbelief and sadness. Moments later he came back out and said another plane hit. A day to remember.

Went into the break room at work to refill my water and coffee and saw the TV. No work done that day.

I was home. Somehow I equated it to when mom heard the news that Pearl Harbor had been attacked.

I posted mine apparently to early this morning..

I was counseling a brother on financial matters at the Waffle House. The waitress told us that planes were flying into landmarks in Washington and the World Trade Center. The whole day was surreal. Like living in a bad dream.

Let the 20% resume.

Sitting in my car in the parking structure after arriving at work trying to figure out what country could possibly be capable of bombing us. I first learned of the attack when I turned on the car radio in the middle of the disc jockey talking to his wife on her cell who happened to be in Manhattan on business and her running through the streets away from some kind of attack and telling him about explosions and debris and ash falling from buildings all around her and then screaming terrified about seeing more planes coming and then the line going dead. The context of what was happening soon became clear, of course. Oddly, though, realizing it was a terrorist attack came as something of a relief after thinking we were under some kind of full-scale military assault.

At work in downtown Norfolk, VA...They sent us home since we worked in a "tall" building and no one knew what might happen next.

At work. TW was my leadman at the time and I heard on the radio that a plane had just crashed into the first tower. We thought it was a small plane at first until it was confirmed that it was an airliner. Utter disbelief. Then the second plane hit and the one at the Pentegon. A little later the report that a plane had went down in PA. All of the Vets at work knew we were under attack but we didn't know from whom. We spent the rest of the day listening to reports and when 3:30 rolled around it was the fastest I've ever seen the parking lot emptied.

I was in Louisville KY at my dad's house. He had had a stroke that July and was in the rehab hospital. I was staying up there and was at the house going through papers trying to figure things out. I had Fox News on and saw both of them hit. I called my husband at work, Redstone Arsenal, AL, they often don't hear any news right away. I told him he needed to find a TV or news feed. I told him what happened. Not long after that he called me back and said they were on total lock down, no one in no one out. A little while after, they sent them all home. I remember when I went to see my dad that afternoon, all the therapists had talked to all the patients about what had happened.

I was at work and had the TV on since we didn't have any patients scheduled that day. I saw the first plane hit but thought it was just a horrible accident until I saw the second plane crash. Later that morning I got a call from the home office in California that one of our company officers was in a meeting at one of the towers. I closed the office and went home to be with my family, we spent the rest of the day praying for everyone and for our country. It was a very sad day.

where did you work in Norfolk?

I was in Norfolk when the first plane hit. I was on the way to a job in va beach when the second plane hit. Right near oceana master jet base in va beach when the pentagon was hit.

I remember watching a air plane in the air and then 2 fighter jets rush on both sides of it obviously ordering it to land. The plane made a sharp left back to Norfolks airport.

I remember after the first plane hit I told the guy I was with I bet this is Osama bin laden. I remember studying about him when doing some work on terroism in college.

At work (OSI, Inc.) standing next to a man named Dan White. My wife called and then his wife called, suddenly everyone quit working and started getting phone calls, people in the offices were huddled around radios.
