    ...in school doing book work until my teacher came in and said a plane into one of the towers. It wasn't until later I found out it was a terrorist attack.

    incredible sadness thinking of what the victims went through in their final moments and the families that would be affected. The fear came after.

    I think I was in like 2nd grade so I didn't really know what was happening but it was early in the morning for california people so I didn't have to go to school that day but I kinda scared watching planes hit huge buildings on T.V.

    I was on my way to work listening to the radio when the announcer came on a said the Twin Towers had been hit by aircraft. I immediately called home and said put on the news. It wasn't until I got to work and everyone was going to the cafeteria to watch the news. Even watching the event it was unbelievable - it took awhile to sink it.

    IN SIDE JOB! I could say more but I won't! To many people at this time are still to willing to live with the lie even when they know its a lie. Why I guess ill never know the real reason for there willingness to protect a treason act!

    I was shocked and speechless i was crying a little bit too...I kept thinking to myself why would anyone want to attack us...But i was in the 6th grade back then and didn't follow what was going on in the world like I do now.....I honestly think that it's bush's fault but then again maybe it's not but I hate to see another 9/11 happen =( We haven't even caught Osama Bin Laden yet....So how are we even safe from any kind of attack?

    I worked nights at the time, and I was laying in bed listening to a morning comedy talk show. They are always doing bits, and when they said a plane just flew into the World Trade Center, I was expecting to hear a punchline. It was so beyond the realm of possibility that I just knew it had to be a bit. When I realized it wasn't, I jumped up and turned on the TV, and I just couldn't believe it. The 2nd plane hadn't hit yet at that point. I was thinking "could this be an accident?" As soon as the 2nd plane hit, I knew it had to be terrorism.

    I was at school and my reaction was "wow...that's going to be a gnarly movie...when does it come out?" and that's about the time where over 40 students and faculty looked at me in shock and jaws to the floor. A friend of mine whispered to me on what it really was and I felt like a complete idiot for the longest time.
