That day was totally surreal. Truly one of those moments you remember exactly where you were when you heard the news.
I was in 7th grade about to start science class. My principal walked in and told my teacher, and he started crying. I didn't really grasp the severity of the situation at the time, I just remember being horrified by what I saw on TV. |

I was in the office and heard "a plane just hit one of the Twin Towers"
I thought "what nimrod would fly a Cessna into a building". Moments later - Spent the rest of the day in a pretty quiet, solemn atmosphere. |

I was up early on the west coast 6AM. At the time my satellite dish gave us east coast TV time frame. I was watching the today show on NBC and they started covering the first tower that was struck and then a second plane hit. It was all live.
I called in sick that day. |

60 minutes had a pretty good show on it last night. Man, what those men and women gave, and what the victims went through.

I was blown away when the towers (and building 7) fell and crumbled to dust like they did.
The 60 Minutes episode from last year about the FDNY on 9/11 was really good. Worth watching if you haven't seen it. Pretty sure it's on youtube. |

I'll never forget being in my apartment in Mountain View CA and my Mom calling me early in the morning and telling me to turn on the TV. Plane 1 had hit tower and while we were on the phone talking, the other plane hit the tower and I thought it was a replay.
The most ****ed up day in my life. My best friend had his plane grounded in Oklahoma while flying cross country from NJ to Las Vegas and had to rent a car and drive home. Lost several people I worked with at Dean Witter in one of the towers. It has changed the trajectory of airline travel forever.

This channel surfing is a great encapsulation of TV that day:
