The phone rang early that morning it was only about 6:30am our time (in CA)so that was unusual but I just figured it was my step dad being called into work. Then my mom came busting into my room yelling that a terrorist attack was happening back east. My mom over reacts a lot so I didn’t believe it at first. Though when I walked into the living room and saw the tv I knew it was real. My grandma was visiting from back east and was suppose to fly home in a couple days. She ended up being stuck with us for an extra week. Our phone was ringing off the hook because we go back to Boston very often since my sister lives in New Hampshire, and everyone was calling to make sure we weren’t coming home. My dad also had just recently gone to NYC alot for business so I was so excited when I reached him by phone. My mom made me stay home from school that day, I was 17 at the time and had just started my senior year and wanted to go be with my friends that day. But my mom claimed since we live in southern California so close to LA that I was not going anywhere. After a few hours though I convinced her to let me go into work that day right near the house. At work we had customers coming in crying, hardly anyone was talking and we had the tv on all day. After I got off work mom and I went to the grocery store to stock pile things and most the water was gone. A clerk had brought a fresh box of water jugs out and people were breaking the box open for water, we managed to get some and went home. Later I went to my dads house nearby and my little brother was 6 and came up to me and saw I was wearing a flag pin. He asked, “is that for the people in the planes?” I remember trying everything not to cry because I felt his and every other child’s innocence in a way was stolen that day. Though for many kids they lost a lot more than just there innocence and we have prayed for them all so much. I did not travel for a full year after that but have since flown to Boston and New York over 30 times and even just booked another trip 2 days ago as well as another trip to NYC for the Ball Drop on NYE. I do not let the terrorists fears stop me from doing what I want to do, I just wish we could have gotten Osama by now. Dude its been almost 7 years!

Wichita, KS I was a junior in high school, and in history class. I would soon be watching history being made. The teacher from the adjoining room barged in with the TV on wheels trailing behind her. We sat glued to the screen as the second plane hit just a minute or so after we turned the set on. The bell rang signaling class change, but nobody moved. We remained in a terrefied trance for the next couple hours, occasionally speculating about the attacks and asking the teachers questions. We thought Wichita would be on the terrorists list- because we are the air capital of the world… Eventually the administration made us catch up to our class schedule, but we talked about little else for the rest of the day. Looking back, I wish I would have gone home to watch continuous coverage.

I usually didn’t arrive to work until about 9:30 am. Typically I would listen to the radio during my highway commute, but on the morning of September 11th, I’d decided to leave it off. I hadn’t yet learned of the attacks.

There was something strange with the behavior of drivers around me that I couldn’t quite put my finger on. Everyone seemed to be moving more slowly and driving more politely than I’d ever witnessed.

When I arrived at work, I overheard my co-workers talking about the World Trade Center towers. Logging onto my computer, I tried to access MSNBC.com and noticed how incredibly slow it was to load the website. The headlines there made it clear that we were under attack.

Most of the major news websites were rendered useless and inaccessible due to the high traffic overwhelming their servers. I tried some foreign news sites like the BBC and was able to get more information there. Some organizations were already speculating that the attacks had been the work of Osama Bin Laden.

Eventually we all began to huddle around a small TV in a spare cubicle of the office. By this time, the South Tower of the World Trade Center had collapsed.

When I returned to my desk, my mother called me and asked if I had heard the news. Her sister –my aunt– lived in and worked near New York City. Fortunately, she was not in Manhattan at the time of the attacks, but knew plenty of people in the towers. Mom cried for a moment before we said our goodbyes…it was important that we all made this connection with the people we loved during such a horrific time.

My girlfriend and I exchanged brief emails. I remember her writing, “I am scared.” So were we all.

Throughout the work day, most people milled around the office like zombies, running through the motions of their daily tasks but spending the bulk of their time tuned into the TV, on the web or speaking on the phone with family and friends.

There was a rumor spreading that gasoline stations had been driving gas prices to upwards of $7 a gallon. As I drove home, I witnessed many gas stations with lines spanning around the block. Obviously, many people had heard the same rumor, though the gas hike never really happened. Price of gas at that time remained around $1.36 a gallon.

That evening, all major news stations broadcast and re-broadcast video footage of the attacks. It reminded me of both the Ronald Reagan assassination attempt and the space shuttle Challenger disaster.

The effects of that day have never really worn off, even after nearly seven years. Our world is forever changed and it’s clear future generations will never understand a pre-9/11 America.

i was in my 5th grade class when the teacher got pulled out into the hall with all the other teachers from my grade and they were huddled around the principal. a new moments later an announcement was made that a plane had hit the world trade center and i had no idea what it meant i was just scared. with all this war going on people think that what were doing is wrong but for every life that was lost, every story that is untold, every child who cant see there daddy, is a soldier fighting to make sure that 2,998 more lives dont get lost so some day that daddy can walk his daughter down the isle.

I was on my way to drop my children off at school in Chesterfield, VA when the radio announced that a “Small, possible scenic plane had crashed into one of the twin towers in NYC. While driving, the host suddenly shrieked and yelled that another plane had “just crashed into the other twin tower. I was overcome with confusion mixed with disbelief as I ran the details around in my head. I assumed perhaps the second was a news chopper filming the first crash. It never occured to me that this type of violence could occur in the US. After all, this was something we only watched on TV happening in other countries. We have visited all three crash sites to pay our respect.

I was at work - then someone said we were being attacked and everyone went to watch the news. We watched the towers fall in dismay, praying for all those people. We listened to the report that all planes were grounded and still some were up with one heading back to Washington,DC. The local radio announced that Air Force was comming in for a landing- we could see it out the window at work. I still jump when a plane comes over the downtown area or a plane from Barksdale comes over.

No I will never forget.

SanjaCue, Paraguay, SA in SanjaCue, Paraguay with the Peace Corps. I had only been in country 9 months and didn’t speak the language super well yet when the Principal at the elementary
school told me two planes had crashed in NYC. I thought he meant they hit each other.

I went to one of the neighbor’s houses who had a tv and watched as people jumped from the second tower right before it collapsed. It looked like a bomb went off.

Everyone else thought it was a movie. I started to cry and the urge to go home was unbearable. It was almost 2 days before I could watch the news in English and get a basic understanding of what had happened.

While I was in shock, many of my friends from rural Paraguay were still struggling to understand two buildings 110 stories tall had actually been constructed and then destroyed. The tallest building they had ever seen in person was 3 stories high.

Many people asked me what the United States would do. Would we use nuclear weapons? Would we start a third world war?

With the advent of the Afghanistan and Iraq Wars the answer became clear. We watched together as huts not unlike my friends’ and family’s were bombed and we wondered aloud about how we hurt each other.

Missouri, USA I was in my social studies class in seventh grade. I can’t remember the teacher — if I think hard enough, I will — but I know I was sitting on the left side of the classroom if you were facing the door, and the television was right infront of me on the wall. When it happened, everything froze, then the teachers did their best to distract us and make us do our work. It isn’t until now that I realize that our teachers were probably even more shocked then we were, and they were trying to keep calm for our sakes. The next day I woke up crying, turning on the radio to listen to a live broadcast of my favorite radio show (which happened to be from TAMPA, FL, so they were usually an hour ahead of us).

Central Florida I was in my computer class. I was in fourth grade, sitting down on a computer…My teacher told another teacher something about calling her sister. I knew her sister was in New York, and I knew something was wrong. She seemed panicky, and I started to listen up. My teacher came in and told the other teacher that her sister was ok. I didn’t know what was going on, but I was dying to know. Soon after, I was called up to the front office where my father was picking me, my sister, and my cousin up. I didn’t know why, but I sure was happy. That’s when my father told me we weren’t going on our trip to New York that December. I was very upset, and I asked why. He said there was an accident with a plane, end of story. I went to my grandmas house and began to watch the news. I was horrified. My family continued to tell me to turn off the TV, but I couldn’t. I had to watch it. I had to know. That night, I couldn’t sleep. I was 9 years old, and being kept up by the fear of a plane crashing into the Kennedy Space Center. I thought that if the plane crashed the Kennedy Space Center, all of central Florida (where I live) would blow up and I would die. It was a very scary feeling. Weeks later, there was a fire in my neighbor hood, and I thought it was another attack. Me and my younger sister were riding bike outside, and I told her to go home, that we were being attacked. I was young, but I remember.
