Everybody can probably remember exactly where they were and what they were doing when the US was attacked on 9/11. I was at work. I had walked out to the reception desk, and heard it on the receptionist's radio. We were all in complete and total shock. The horror of it still chills me when I think about it. My boss sent all of us home. I watched the twin towers colapse live on TV. Where were you? Please share your experience.

Hi Toofancy; I recall, like it was yesterday, where I was on Sept 11th during 9/11.
Like yourself I was at work, but at home. Getting started for the day, I remember it was a clear day, the sky was blue and I had the news on the T.V.
I was in total shock also, to put it simply.
I could barely believe my eyes.
I felt horror also. I do to this day.
What is more is all the controversy shadowing the event as I type.
Yesterday, being the anniversary, there was much to be said surrounding this very topic.
I can only shake my head in utter disgust.
Needless to say, it was a somber day.
Eerily quiet, as I resided, at the time, over a very busy airspace, near Vancouver Airport.
The sky was still, even the main thoroughfare seemed unusually quiet.
A time that I surely will not forget anytime soon.
I still put in a full work day however.
Life has never been the same. Nor do I suspect that it ever will be.
Has it changed, for the better or for the worse?
Somethings needed to be done and so they have been.

Yes, I can remember how still the air was that day. I did not put in a full day, but was sent home that morning from my job. School did not send my children home, though, and they stayed for the full day. I was waiting for them at the front door when the bus dropped them off in front of our house. In view of all the horror, I wanted to be close to my family. I just want an end to come to terrorist attacks all over the world. Thank you for your response. It is very vivid.

Same here.. I was at work (a kennel) and my mother called and told me what was going on.. I told my boss and we quickly went upstairs and got the TV and brought it downstairs and hooked it up.. we too watched them collapse on live TV.
