When people ask where I was at during 9/11. I didn't find out about it until hours after it happened
Wrong thread, I think. So what were you doing hours before you found out about it?
I was young, I just know I was playing on one of these before I heard about it
Maybe he was west coast and sleeping. The first plane hit pretty early in the morning.
I was shaving my head. Happened to have the news on the TV in the background and thought 'fuck, that's awful' after the first plane, then 'fuck, that's deliberate' after the second. I guess the twin towers is our 'you remember where you were moment' for those of us too young to remember the moon landings.
I was in school at the time. The teacher had it on the tv when I walked in (just after the first plane hit) and I was so excited to watch an action movie instead of doing work. When the camera didn't change the view for a couple minutes, everyone gave me the stinkeye when I criticized it for being boring.
Then my teacher explained what was happening and told us all to rmember it because people will ask us for the rest of our lives where we were when this happened. I didn't get it at the time, but he was right.
Yup, I was at work in Albany at the time and called my mom in California and told her to turn on the TV.
