Where were you/what were you doing when you heard about the Al Qaeda terrorist attacks on the World Trade Centre on September 11, 2001?
Will this memory stay with you for life?
Were you actually in New York at the time?

I remember I was about to get on the highway and had been listening to a cd in the car and remember thinking, "Man, where is everyone? The traffic is so light. Maybe there's a wreck. Better turn on the radio and see what's up." And I turned off the cd, turned on the radio and heard the news oddly enough from Howard Stern who was broadcasting in New York and reporting as the events unfolded, and not being a smart-a$$ for once. He apparently had a view of the towers and described everything as it happened. I'll never forget the sound of his voice breaking as he described what was going on.
Back then I was a little younger and never turned on the news before I left the house, so I was caught completely unaware. I remembered thinking "Holy God, it's World War III. We're all going to die." I just knew that nuclear war was the next step.
It was a terrible day. An incredibly sad day and a painful memory for all of us. I still get choked up thinking about all of those people trapped with nowhere to go, all of the folks in the aircraft and the crews... The literal defnition of tragedy.

Unfortunately we had a Compaq colleague from MA on one of the Boston flights heading for the conference. Compaq lost four other employees who were at a meeting in the WTC. I had worked with one of them on some financial services projects in Los Angeles.
An old boss of mine safely evacuated from the WTC.
I believe many people in the country were only 1 degree of separation from someone directly affected by the incident.

I spent the day discussing the events as they unfolded with people, even people that were crying because of fear due to family/friends in the NYC area that they had no contact with. It will always stay with me. Watching the 2nd plane crash in front of me on about 20 different large screen TV's was really difficult. The few customers we had were all gathered around the electronics area and the place was eerily silent. After my shift was up I went and got my daughter and my sister that was babysitting and we went out to Pizza Hut for dinner. I felt this odd sense of caring about my fellow man. ( I don't mean that to sound odd, but I have an autism disorder and I often don't have feelings regarding things that happen to other people) We ate our 20 dollar dinner and I left the waitress a 30 dollar tip.

My Husband came home from work and found me crying and he explained that Chevron had sent them all home. This really frightened me. While the first building was on fire, I slipped a VHS tape into the recorder (no DVR then) and began recording. I am glad I did. My Family began to make plans that in the event of an emergency, we would all meet at our family farm. It would be away from major cities and a safe haven to decide what to do next.
As I watched the TV, I saw people start jumping out of windows and I could not fathom being in their position. I think I cried for days. My Mother started stocking up for an attack. My Mom has since past and the back room closet is still packed with non-perishables. She had everything from medicines, foods and hygiene in huge tubs ready to go.
It is scary to know that they could just come in like that un-noticed and attack innocent people. It changed my life forever and since then, Flag etiquette has become very important to me. People need to respect the Flag and for what it stands for.

When driving into work we listened as the buildings began to collapse while talking to my daughter on the phone.
I was in Phoenix Arizona and the company I worked for was having an open house for it's new office and we had to call everyone and cancel becasue our CEO was stranded in another state and our Financial partner was rerouted to Canada due to the terrorist attack.
Once we made the calls we were sent home early since no one could concentrate.
I was unable to move out of ear shot of the television and radio for many days. Unable to sleep due to the eerie silence of nothing flying over head.

Yes, I think, I will remember forever what I was doing on September 11, 2001. The reason is that I was in N.Y. at that time and I used to go to the World Trade Center a lot. I was pregnant at the time and got a little bit scared. I feel I am lucky to be alive.
