I was working in Oxford and my brother phoned me. He said that 2 planes had flown into a skyscraper in NY, and nobody knew why.

I was on the bus home from school
looking at some boobs, when my friend told me.
i was driving home from school too...
i thought my dad was joking or something.
I was at home
having just found out my aunt had died.
Weird day.
having sex with my then boyfriend
and we turned on the tv (after like) and went... 'whut'?
I was going to say,
The sex must have been pretty average if you turned the TV on during it!!
;)
yeh
it was a long time ago. And i loved the guy. we're all stoopid once. Post coital news watching? You never done?
Or, post-coital house of commons watching? :P
i watched bill & ted's excellent adventure once.
it eased the pain.
I suppose so.
Not for a long time though.
Post masturbation news watching ftw.
I was at my first day of college
My thick new tutor told us all 'some planes have been flown into the Empire State building'. Idiot.
that exact same thing happened to me
*clicks profile on the off chance you're someone i know*
hah, you are! hello, jamie.
Haha
Who's that??
at my first day of secondary school
my grandad picked me up at the end of the day and said two planes had flown into two towers. I loled and made some comment about stupid pilots.
Little did you know Prof Kitsch
Little did you know....
yeah, i thought
it was a bit of a joke before i saw the news and stuff.
Sitting in a bunker in north carolina circa april 2001
At school
In a chemistry lesson. It was announced over the PA.
praying to Allah
:D
your mum
hahahahahahaha
hahahahahahaha
hahahahahahaha
hahahahahahaha
hahahahahahaha
hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
Seriously though, I was at work.
* WANKING
:D
Stock Joke answer!
But a good one.
watching BBC News 24
good timing, eh?
chucking one over my thumb
driving from Magna Park
in Lutterworth, Nissan/Renault National Parts Distribution Centre, to my girlfriend of the times house, when she rang me to say 'some people have flown aeroplanes into new york, i think the worlds ending'
It wasn't, I checked.
Yup.
Working for Warner Bros., watching it all unfold on the tv. We had about twenty senior people over from the States for a conference - none of them could get home to their families. Sad times.
Clearly as I was flying a stolen jumbo....
into the twin towers at the time, I managed to get out of there with minor scratches though.
Blimey.
Were some of their colleagues in the Towers?
No -
but some had family in the City.
I was working at Barclays
when one of the ladies husband rang. I spent the rest of the afternoon watching TV in the rest room, totally glued to the screen. Later I met my girlfriend for a drink and then went to watch Hendon lose 2-1 at home to Bedford whilst fans made inappropriate jokes about planes passing overhead. I stayed up until about 4 in the morning just watching News 24...
Was on a study day from work
studying for an exam that was a few days later, that I then failed because I had spent the whole of my final study day watching the news.
Bloody terrorists.
I was in the British Olympic Assoc
Press office, scanning in loads of slides of Ben Ainslie et al.
Sky News 24 (or whatever) was on. Not a lot of work was done from 1 pm(-ish) onwards as EVERYONE in the building just sat and watched the news.
I remember texting my mum with a distinctly over-the-top OMG WER ALL GONNA DI message.
having breakfast in a midtown hotel in Manhattan
... woman rushed in, said there had been a plane crash at the WTC, they put the TV on and I thought I'd better jump in a cab as I had an appointment in SoHo.
Cab's going down Broadway, at a certain point everyone is walking in the opposite direction, then I get to my appointment where we stand and watch from the window as both towers collapse into rubble.
It was a strange time to be in NYC (and I know that's an understatement but I don't want to get all WarBalls about this...)
:0
I was in Dixon's on my lunchbreak
and heard a plane had crashed into one of the Twin Towers.
I assumed a small plane and a minor accident until I got back to my crappy temp job and it became clear what the scale was...
i was in the pub
watched some of it on the tv in there. then went home and watched some more, then went back to the pub.
Yes
I was 18, and working part-time in a garage whilst still at college. I'd finished my shift at 4pm and walked home. When i walked in the front room i saw my Grandad watching it on the box and assumed it was a documentary or something. I got some food, came back in, read the headline and pretty much shat myself.
"I got some food, came back in, read the headline and pretty much shat myself."
Did you put on a bouncers voice and say "IT'S ONE-IN-ONE-OUT"?
Laying Turf
Good quality turf
my favourite post
sat at my desk
browsing the internet, much like I'm doing now !
Walking home through Hyde Park
(as lived right near there) from an interview, carrying high heels, with about a billion other people - not aware the tubes were closed due to terrorism. It was my deceased brothers bday and I was very depressed thinking about him. I got home and it was only after 10 mins that i realised (after my house guest repeatedly pointing out the WTC had fallen down) that I realised the enormity of the situation. Yeah, I can be very absorbed in my own head.
Yes
Thanks
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHA

Funniest Diser ever x 10 hundred!
I was CD shopping
in my local music shop, I overheard the guy behing the counter talk about it. I remember thinking 'World Trade What???' So educated...
Yes.
It was only six years ago!
I was at work
I left early and went to the pub to watch it on TV.
....
I was just having my breakfast and was switching on SKY News with the intention of the Sports bulletin at 20 past. Second plane flew in and it was like FUCK.... I spent about an hour in the vain hope they'd show the Sports bulletin. It was Champions League Tuesday and I wanted to get the injury updates.
in school
in the library.
Someone subscribed to the Reuters text news service. We were confused but went back to our work.
i woke up hungover
just after the first tower had collapsed.
in a sociology lesson
someone text a class mate to say that a plane had been flown in to the Pentagon.
The pentagon is the name of our local shopping centre. we all wondered who would bother to do that, and why we couldn't see the smoke out of the window.
haha
Ha!
I was in a Politics lesson and did the exact same thing. Stupid Pentagon!
i was
at wind band practice at school...sadly we were not playing any particularly appropriate pieces...
went home, told my mum who had no idea...and we both sat in front of Sky News with our mouths open for a few hours...
I was rudely awakened
in a hostel in New Orleans because of the whole thing (bloody inconsiderate if you ask me). Cue lots of US natives doing the verbal equivalent of polishing guns in the TV room.
Just got home from my shift at the local pub
did it interrupt neighbours when the second plane hit? Can't seem to remember.
I do remember that, on my next shift, the landlord of my pub told me, with a world weary air, that I would no doubt be conscripted soon and sent "over the top" to fight the terrorists. I didn't believe him.
i was awoken
by my mother in my house in Melbourne, it happened at like midnight there, i was awoken early morning and she explained what'd happened.
i was only 11 and it was pretty freaky.
made more so by the fact my dad then had to go to work in Rialto Towers, the tallest building in Melbourne.
(at the time there were reports it was the start of World War III/many attacks on the big players in the world)
shit scared like.
My A2 Level
Business Class at Hillsyde Consortium, Sedgehill, Catford....
Same Class I found out the Deputy Head had hung himself during school hours....
this is sadly true.
I knew then I should've taken Sociology.
sat in my front room
watching it on tv. dead exciting. then my mate rang and we watched it while chatting.
indulging in idle banter whilst watching 3k people die?!
you make me sick!
so young, so full of rage
my attitude towards the whole thing stank for some years until i got a reality check. we had our pre going off to uni meal that day. restaraunt was kinda quiet.
i was at work
just started a new job at rottenrow maternity hospital.. my colleague came into my office to say that a plane had crashed in the US.. and i was sad.. then she came in later and told me that it hit a building.. then she told me that another plane crashed.. then she told me it hit the world trade centre.. then i asked if i could go home and phone my family.. and i did. i was on the phone to them all night. even though i don't have family in NYC.. everyone needed to know that everyone was OK.. the planes took off from Logan airport, which was my 'local' airport when i lived in the states.. so you know.. you always think 'what if' etc.. ugh.
boston-logan airport
i live in boston now, and it often does creep me out whenever i have to fly out of there and i remember 9/11.
i was still in middle school when it happened. our teacher actually cancelled history class and we just sat there watching the TV until they called us into the auditorium for a formal report of what happened, then it was back to class. i remember thinking it was weird how some teachers would talk about it and others just acted like it was a normal day.
right, what I'll do is put my reply
here and then someone can add the necessary gag below my post, ok? Sorted.
so you picked ok then?
:D
Worth the wait in the end?
I was babysitting my cousins
when my mum turned up shouting to turn on the tv.
i moved to london a week later. that week was filled with 'are you SURE you want to move to LONDON right now???'
yes.
In Physics class
Mr Everall told us just before the buzzer went
I was at home in Cirencester
playing Metal Slug 2 on the PC.
I'm sure I've told the story of the two mates who were in Prague at the time, and texted a friend in the UK to find out if it was true that planes had hit the World Trade Center. The response? "Yeah, military jets. Four or five dead. Strachan's been sacked."
i was at the post office mailing a parcel
to America !!

:D
I think most of us regulars have this bookmarked.
I was living in San Francisco
I turned on the radio when I woke up and it said "American is under attack". For a few seconds, some of the scariest of my life, I thought "nuclear bombs".
I was at work in a pub
I needed a new heel for my shoe,
so I decided to go to Morganville, which is what they called Shelbyville in those days. So I tied an onion to my belt, which was the style at the time. Now, to take the ferry cost a nickel, and in those days, nickels had pictures of bumblebees on ‘em. "Give me five bees for a quarter," you’d say. Now where were we? Oh yeah - the important thing was that I had an onion on my belt, which was the style at the time. They didn’t have white onions because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big yellow ones...

sleeping
well, just before. i had been working a night shift so i was sleeping during the day. i happened to be at my parent's house so my dad came and woke me up and told me to come and see the TV. i walked past it thinking he was an idiot and went to the kitchen to make a cup of tea although i did notice a clip of a plane hitting the second tower, that being the one that was shown live. i was still half asleep and though they were watching a movie and i couldn't really understand why he had woken me up for a film.
I was in New York.
working in Lower Manhatten.
were you???
fuck that must have been scary.
oh sarah.
what.
