Where were you on September 11, 2001?

I was at home sick that day. I woke up around 8 AM, sat on the end of my bed and turned on the television. Then I saw the Twin Towers burning on channel after channel. I ran into my famiy room and everyone else in my family was watching it on television in there already.

I went to the doctor that day and on the way I heard that the first tower fell. I remember going down the road and seeing one man place a large sign painted on wood in his yard asking for God's mercy. At the doctor's office, I clearly remember everyone huddled around the television. The nurses were watching it through the blinds of their office while talking on the phone. I was watching television when the second tower fell. I'll never forget it. I'll never forget thinking about all of those lives snuffed out. It's hard for me to think that it's already been five years. It's hard to think about that day. I remember the pain and confusion and fear the rest of the week.

I recently re-watched a documentary on that day filmed by two French brothers and narrated by Robert DeNiro. They actually have footage from inside the burning towers. The part where people actual were jumping out of the windows was the worst part.

I'll never forget that day...

I was selling a customer a climbing hydrangea in a 5 gallon pot. The radio was describing what was happening and the customer and i listened.

I was at daily mass. When I went in, we had word of the first plane. By the time I got out, the second plane had hit. Two f-16's flew over head to intercept the plane that went down in PA.

I was on the road in Seattle having breakfast when I saw the first tower collapsed.

This was truly a monumental event, though for me personaly, the death of Pope John Paul II changed me forever.

I was awoken from a sound sleep and alone at home,when urgency came over me that something was terribly wrong. I turned on the TV just seconds before the second plane hit.

I was driving to my grandparents house 2 hrs away from my home. I just happened to be listening to the radio instead of my cd's that morning. I listened when possible that morning, missed some due to high hills, and when I reached my grandparents they were watching the repeat footage while I called my fiance.
