Where Were You? When You First Heard About 9/11  
IN THE PAST

Terrorists attacked the United States on September 11, 2001 when they crashed two airliners into the World Trade Center towers in New York City. Where were you and what were you doing when you first heard about this tragedy?

	I was in my classroom with a substitute teacher. Our school wasn't sure of whether or not they should allow students to watch it on television (in fear that it would cause panic). I specifically remember the principal coming on the loud speaker saying that it had happened but to not turn on the TV and to try and keep working. My substitute teacher was enraged, saying she will never forget where she was when JFK was shot and when we landed on the moon. She insisted we watch it on TV.
	I was playing at www.neopets.com and someone posted on the message board to go turn on the television because a plane had crashed into a building in New York, and at first I just ignored the post, and then other people started commenting on the original post, and I finally turned on the tv, and spent the rest of the day in shock.
	I was sitting in my 6th grade social studies classroom.
	I wasn’t even born at the time but I heard all about and I do so much research!
	I was sorting the mail at the post office when this tradgedy happened. As i made my rounds on my mail, many customers on my route discussed this horrific terroism that took place as i stopped and watched the newsa with some of them. I was so sick that this happened i just wanted to go home and watch the news to see how and why this would happen.
	I was at a company offsite in DC, having flown into Dulles airport that morning (one of the hijacked planes flew out of Dulles that day). I wasn't far from the Pentagon when it was hit. With planes cancelled, we got one of the last rental cars. We drove back to Columbus that night, via I-70, and so were within about 5 miles of the Pennsylvania crash of Flight 93.
