THE DAY THE WORLD CHANGED FOREVER. same as most was at work. Stopped working watched in disbelief as it was unfolding right in front of me. Went home straight away and sat with my partner watching TV for the rest of the day. Such a sad day for the hole world. Rest in peace all them soles. Love from North London legion 🌍😞

I was living about a half hour from Shanksville. Was online talking to a friend living in Manhattan about the first tower when that flight flew over. low. I remember thinking that they decided on a culprit very quickly. Our concept of safe changed forever that day.

I was living in Ottawa, Canada. For some reason people believed that we would also be attacked...the city went into lock down. I was at school, grade 8, and people's parents were just showing up at school to rush people home. It was like watching a huge flock of birds, it was like chaos. When I was taken home and was watching the video, I couldn't comprehend the magnitude of what was happening, but I felt like I was in shock. As an adult, I find myself watching the videos over and over again when I feel a certain way, it's like reliving the feeling I had when I saw it on TV when I was 13. It's very odd.

My brother just died on his motorcycle, in a horrific way. Possibly pushed in front of a refrigerated truck by a pissed off girlfriend in a bronco. Looking at his mangled bike that looked like the case. That was his girl of the week. He was a real ladies man the dames loved him. I still don't know the truth, in the back of my mind I fuckin know what happened anyway I was in Alaska taking his ashes to his family so they could bury them in the old cemetery. I stayed a week n watched it on TV, far away but completely broken. Hateing the world. At that time, I wished there were enough bombs for the rest of the world to be destroyed. I was in a pretty dark place at the time.

I was in 7th grade. My dad is a immigration officer at SFO. He called my mom freaking out they had to shut down all the flights of course and even he was frantic having no idea what was going on. I had never heard my dad sound scared before. I remember being so young, but still understanding the magnitude of the situation and being in tears. I went to school that day. I was late so I went right into my history class where my history teacher had the tv on and we all just watched in horror.

Bang on Peter, I had my first tattoo in Florida the next day (one of the only places still open!) and we talked about the u.s. funding the IRA, explaining how we'd lived under the shadow of terrorism for years...

I remember that day...I had this sick feeling inside before the first plane hit. I worked nights and I called my Mom...I thot it was the end of the world. I was 45 mins from home, I wasn't home with my children. I was scared and angry. I'll NEVER FORGET but it appears that many have. I've been to Ground Zero, very emotional.

Sometimes Grail they know but do nothing because the only thing that'll get us moving is to take the first punch to the teeth such was Pearl Harbor,with 9/11 I have no idea if they knew or just had their head jammed up their asses though I suspect it was a little of both...

I was in radiology school. I remember our instructor telling us the news and no one said a word. I couldn’t wrap my head around the fact that terrorists had chosen to fck with us in such a devastating way. I remember watching live coverage of the towers collapsing. Hearing the pentagon had been hit. Seeing the president’s stunned expression from an elementary school in Florida as he learned the news. Listening to him speak, and demand justice and I knew my brother would be going overseas to fight. I remember the lines being long to fill up with gas and also to donate blood. It was a horrible helpless feeling. I wanted to be there helping them instead of watching it unfold on the news. Such a huge loss.

Flew out of NY 9/10/2001 from Laguardia airport because I was color correcting a magazine I was working on to come back the morning of 9/11/2001. Was only on a puddle-jumper and the crashing flights were transcontinental which is how they got those buildings to collapse -- a massive amount of jet fuel. But this info was not available at the time and all the phone lines were down. My punk rock girl didn't hear from me all day and thought I went into the building. Nope, I was dilling around Burlington, VA wondering wtf I was going to do. Everyone in the hotel knew I was flying into NY and it was a really weird sensation standing around the lobby with all these strange VA people trying to talk to me to rub off some story or residual tragedy. A couple of lunatics from my office rented a car to drive to Manhattan and have their own crazy story. Finally got to speak to and chill her out around 3pm. Color corrected the magazine. What else was I going to do? I came in Penn Station 3 days later right when a bomb sniffing dog sat down at The Empire State Building which, if it fell, would have crushed the station so I was rushed out by firefighters and the whole island was on lockdown. I slept with the homeless at Amtrak, but at least my rat bastard boss saw me at work the next day at 55th and 1st. I went home that day and my nerves didn't kick in until then. It was like I spent the preceding 4 days in limbo and finally woke from a nerve coma. Good news was I took a few days off without calling out sick and work completely let me totally get away with it. It's funny how you reach a certain point, and your wage slavery evaporates when your boss can tell you're completely beyond giving a shit about anything. I know my story is strange and I've come to feel the loss of the moment in retrospect, but the whole scenario hit me in such a traumatic and personal way that I found I was thinking mostly of myself and my family and not giving much of a rat's ass about anyone else. This is the most honest appraisal of the situation I can muster.
