I was surfing these very boards before work, slurping coffee, when someone posted that something happened in New York. I turned on the TV and watched the second "something happen." Other people remember where they were when JFK was shot, or Reagan. For eternity, I will remember the MT board as "where I was" on this fateful date.

Hi Nez,
That is one day I shall never forget.
I got into work as normal and I was working for tech support at the time. I remember just surfing the web while waiting on phone calls and went to the BBC website to see what had happened. This was right after the first reports of the first plane, then the second plane crashed onto tower two. They kept on saying that it was the first plane but shown from a different angle. I thought at the time that is was just a tragic accident because maybe a pilot of a commercial flight would be flying near there and skyscrapers are pretty high anyway.
When the report of the second plane was confirmed I stopped what I was doing to show people around the office, just to see if I was getting the news wrong.
I remember thinking the first thing to do was to call a very close friend in America and tell her what was happening, but it never occured to me that she would still be in bed, I just called her on the mobile. She woke up and switched the television on and knew what was going on right away and said there will be hell to pay.
We have programme over here all about it right now and I am still silenced by the images and footage.

I read this earlier and wanted to comment. I was living in New York at the time, but a good 40 miles from where the devastating events of 10 years ago took place. I had just been in the Twin Towers not long before with a group of friends. We went to the top at nite and had panoramic views of NY City's lights and life.
I listened to a program on Saturday that was broadcast from NYC. The host interviewed families who lost loved ones on that day as well as some that survived. I almost turned it off, but I am glad I didn't. It made me realize once again, the fragility of life.
How we really go about our lives and most of us taking so much for granted...myself included.
Kiss and hug the ones you love.
Say a kind word to a stranger.
Give thanks because there is much to be grateful for...Truly...

They only hit until you cry
After that you don't ask why
You just don't argue anymore
It's not your business anyway
Just don't ask me how I am

I was sitting in MEPS waiting to get the physical before joinging the military. Everything prettymuch stopped and someone flipped on the tv. We were sent home as all the federal buildings were being evacuated.

Im pretty sure I had just woken up or something and came to the forums to troll before jumping in game and saw a thread like "check out the news"... flipped on the news and watched it all unfold from after the first plane hit till everyone was covered in ash.

Kinda funny what a habit it was to come to the boards while getting ready for work. I guess Facebook and Google+ have replaced them (among other things, of course).

I was in-game chatting with friends when I learned of the attacks. On the hillside by Mayoi. I immediately alt-tabbed and looked up more info online, and shortly thereafter logged out and woke up my brother (I was west coast at the time, so it was still very early) to go out to my parents' place and watch the news together. *sigh*
It was a little strange this year, actually... Several of those planes back then flew out of Boston's Logan airport. And this year, on September 11, I flew out of Logan for a work trip.
