I was outside of Casin and Gaskins TV/Radioshack in Wildwood, FL, when I found out about it. TVs were all turned on. I remember being stunned, and when the second plane hit, all I felt was rage and revulsion.
It's also my mother's birthday, so it's certainly a day I will remember for the rest of my life.

I was working in my lab at work and caught first word on my radio. One guy has a 5" black/white TV and a bunch of us crowded into his office and watched the towers come down. Quiet there, too...
I was here at McGuire AFB a little bit over an hour from NYC. The base was on lock down. Then I was recalled and was supposed to go to NYC for search and rescue. It was cancelled though.
But, holy crap you should have seen how active this base was that evening. It was unreal.

I was getting ready for work while watching the tv and thats when I saw it.
At first it seemed like a movie to me...Never thought it would happen in real life and it did.
It really sunk in when I went to work and everybody was talking about it.
Cheers,

Was in Anatomy and Physiology class when the first plane hit. After school was out, we were greeted to people toating around 50 gallon drums filling up with gas. Looking at a gas station as I go by, seeing that the price per gallon was well above 5.00/gal.
i was working in a street in south shields called, Horsley vale. We were laying a new driveway. about half of it was down. I had to go away for an appointment at a physiotherapist place for a soccer injury. I called in at home and my dad was like "Paul u gotta see this. some lunatics are crashing planes all over america" I had a quick look at the news and left for my appointment. I told the staff when i arrived and we sat watching for a few hours what was unfolding in your country. In the evening i was in my local pub watching in pretty much sureal silence like everyone else. still totally shocked at the days events
Oh and i dont even think it was mentioned in the english press this year which seemed strange. though a lot is taken up with the madeline mccann story just now
