Where were you on 9/11/01
 

I was thinking about posting this qustion today in class. So I did so
where were you when the planes hit the twin towers? I was in class at
Junior high (way before I got my 99 Wrangler) if I remember right it
was math. But that day no one was doing math. We were all watching the
T.V. when the Second plane the towers hit thinking oh my god oh my god
this is not happing. (I was sleeping when the first one hit west coast
time) I said what I was doing when the the planes hit now it is your
turn.

Having a camera shoved up my ass just prior to my 50th B-day.
Spent the rest of the day home on the couch farting and watching the
TV coverage.

Re: Where were you on 9/11/01
 

As I was on my way to drop off our two youngest at day care (6mo and 2 yrs
at the time) I heard the first report on the radio that one of the towers
had been hit. At that time there was no confirmation what kind of plane it
was and they were reporting it was a small single-engine. By the time I got
out of the day care and was on my way to work, reports of the second plane
were broadcast. I thought to myself there's no way that's a coincidence and
I called my wife and told her to turn on CNN.

We met at work and the staff already had a TV going. I called my uncle,
because two of my cousins live in the DC area and one of them worked for the
State Department at the time. There was no answer there so I called my dad,
my uncle had called him to let him know that fortunately they were all
right. We had a meeting planned with our financial advisor and figured we
might as well go, when we got to his office of course they had TV's going.
He said he had just gotten off the phone with some financial people in one
of the towers on the 15th floor, he asked them "Why are you still there?"
They said they were told to stay put. He told them they should leave, their
building was burning, they didn't even know how bad the damage was. After
our meeting, we came out to the waiting area where everyone was glued to the
TV, the first tower had just come down. By the time we got back to work, the
second tower had come down.

I was driving to work, heard it on the radio and thought it was a
joke, especially when they mentioned a second plane. Got to work and
saw in on cnn.com. Got an email from the managment saying that we
could go home if we wanted to, so I did and spent the day watching tv.

I was getting ready to go to school, just happened to flip on the TV before
I left - then it was me sitting on the couch, speaking out loud saying "oh
my god" - then thinking:
"What if they fly into Abbot labs in Waukegan (about an hour south of me) -
they have level 4 bio-hazards there!"

I was at work on IBM's main campus in RTP NC. We like Matt we first
heard that it was a small plane, and knowing that one time a plane hit
the Empire State Building I assumed it was an accident.

Our internet connection was almost immediately overwhelmed (big
surprise) so I went out to the car to get a radio. In the corridors
they had these big monitors hanging from the ceiling that usually had
IBM TV but someone had switched them to a news feed and I got out there
just in time to see the first tower fall.

They locked that site down, all the entrances except the main one were
closed and a lot of people were told they could go home (not my
department however).

A lot of people forget what it was like right after the attacks. No one
really knew what was happening, who was behind it, or if another attack
was imminent. IBM's main site was seen by a lot of people as a target,
and their security people took it seriously.

I drove through Cary on the way home and it was creepy, police cars ALL
over the place.

The next few days stayed strange, my commute took me down I-40 past RDU
Airport and it was so weird not seeing any planes.

I was at work on IBM's main campus in RTP NC. We like Matt we first
heard that it was a small plane, and knowing that one time a plane hit
the Empire State Building I assumed it was an accident.

Our internet connection was almost immediately overwhelmed (big
surprise) so I went out to the car to get a radio. In the corridors
they had these big monitors hanging from the ceiling that usually had
IBM TV but someone had switched them to a news feed and I got out there
just in time to see the first tower fall.

They locked that site down, all the entrances except the main one were
closed and a lot of people were told they could go home (not my
department however).

A lot of people forget what it was like right after the attacks. No one
really knew what was happening, who was behind it, or if another attack
was imminent. IBM's main site was seen by a lot of people as a target,
and their security people took it seriously.

I drove through Cary on the way home and it was creepy, police cars ALL
over the place.

The next few days stayed strange, my commute took me down I-40 past RDU
Airport and it was so weird not seeing any planes.

Living in West Virginia at the time.
I was home, recovering from surgery of some sort.
Wife called from work, said look at the news, something's happening.
Still married to the crazy witch then. She was crazy, but she was right that
day.
Saw the first tower on fire on local news, switched to CNN, watched the
second plane hit the second tower.
Called my dad. Talked about the possibility that it was a --------- attack.
He was still alive then but battling cancer.
He was a very smart and intuitive man.
I remember I had a lump in my throat all that day that I couldn't swallow.
Kind of like today.

I was asleep when the first plane hit. I'm in California so it was
early. I was awakened by my roommate who was already up and had the TV
on with, "Dude, a jet just flew into the World Trade Center in New York."

Watched the 2nd plane hit and the towers fall on live television. Went
to work late. My office is in a 20 story building. At the time, remember
we didn't know what, who, how, why, etc. Everyone at work was very
uneasy and about noon, the boss told everyone to go home.

Re: Where were you on 9/11/01
 

Driving thru the gates at work, in the Jeep no less. At first I thought it was some
stupid morning show, and then I checked my radio station and went "whoa" - they dont
have a morning "show". They were talking about the second plane hitting the towers
while I was sitting at the second inner gate waiting for it to open. I got into work
and hit the net first thing and oh my gawd! Not long after that our link choked (no
suprise there everyone with a pc must have been online) and we went into a physical
lockdown. Realized I have a cousin with a cafe/bar/resturant in the base of one of
the towers. E-mailed home to ask, and found out he had sold the place a year or so
prior. Whew! We ended up staying in lockdown mode for many weeks. Lots of new
gates, lots of new security fencing and better security systems (badging) since.

Re: Where were you on 9/11/01
 

Though it wasn't nearly as serious as 9/11, I find myself reminded of the 14
August 2003 when the Northeast experienced the largest blackout in North
American history. I was in my office in a meeting and the power went off,
when back on, and then went off again. We came out of the office into the
store, thinking it was just a local blackout. Phone system backup battery
was working so we tried calling Detroit Edison, there was no answer.
Customers came in saying the lights were out many blocks away. We were
meeting with someone from the local Channel 4 station, he called his office
and they were reporting the lights were out in New York. The first thing
that went through my mind was "--------- attack." We had no power for TV so
I pulled my truck up to the front door and turned on the radio so we could
hear it in the store. We got the last customers who were ringing up
finsihed, evacuated the store and sent the staff home. Going home that day
was one of the scariest things, because not one traffic light was working
anywhere, and people were starting to panic. Gas pumps didn't work. I tried
to buy a generator on the way home but there was not one to be found.

One of our problems was we are on a well at home, and no power means no
water. Fortunately we had quite a bit of bottled water for drinking, and we
carried buckets from the pool to flush with.

When it was clear it was just an accident and not an attack, everyone
relaxed. We had a nice little candlelit party on the deck and invited all
the neighbors, we grilled chicken and steaks before they spoiled. Afterward
the whole family laid down on the driveway and looked at the stars, which
seemed almost bright as day. Saw about thirty satellites orbiting overhead.

I was concerned with looting at the store and drove down in the morning to
check, all was well.

In Detroit we were just on the edge of the blackout, a friend of mine who
lives near Jackson and works in Ann Arbor said he had power at home but not
at work.
