Where were you?

Getting ready for work and shipping my kids off to school!!!! Put it on the big screen TV so my students could watch what was happening. Very solemn day.......

I was home in Graham, WA awaiting my wife to get home from work.

I was on an early morning conference call with my team based in NYC.  Our company headquarters is in the World Financial Center, right across the street from the Trade Center.    My project manager on site there suddenly cut me off and said 'something just exploded across the street and he would call me right back.....'     It wasn't until several hours later that he got back to me.  Heavy stuff.....

Packing for a Archery Elk hunt 5bn. My cousin was the pilot Jason Dahl on the AA plane flight 93.

Another thing that I remember about that event, was that I had scheduled a Kiabab archery deer hunt (when it was OTC....).  We went two days after, and I recall the 'no fly' order was still in effect.  With no jets flying in the distance and/or overhead throughout the day and night, t was the quietest I have ever experienced in the outdoors.  Possibly it was the somber mood that contributed to the perception of the peace and quiet, but I definitely remember NO planes.

Getting ready for work when my wife let me know while I was in the shower.  One thing I remember vividly was how quite it was at work.  

[Ringer]

Packing for my archery elk hunt in 5BN and went up the next day. I remember how eerily quiet the sky was with no planes flying other than a few military jets.

i was finishing up the graveyard shift locked in the cashiers' cage at hon-dah casino.  they would not let us out until end of shift at 10am so i heard little reports from the floor.  'a plane hit a building in ny' and 'a little airplane crashed into an army office'.  i had been killing time writing a poem about fire and sunsets before the reports came in and i wadded it up and threw it away.  went back and dug it out of the trash before i left and watched replays of the towers falling.  what i remember most was having a hard time believing i was really seeing cars in line at mcdonalds and that blue ridge high school was in session.  just dazed.

I was in 8th grade. My mom woke me up and told me what happened. I sat and watched it for about an hour before school. I just remember how apocalyptic it felt watching people running through clouds of dust and paperwork floating everywhere.

Watching it all unfold at work. I'm in Manhattan right now working, and it's crazy to see people acting like nothing ever happened.

I was already at work in Brea CA. Heard about it from a coworker. Several of us gathered in the conference room and watched it unfold on tv. They sent us all home by noon.
