Yep... on the golf course. I took a day off to go golfing with my buddy... we had a 9:00 a.m. tee off and we got to the course at about 7:45, had breakfast and were totally oblivious for the first 8 holes or so... the cart tart came around and said "did you hear what happened?" and she gave us the whole story.... at the turn we went into the club house for a bit to watch the events unfold on the TV. Thing is, no one was in a rush to get golfing again...
I do and they cannot be listed on this message board. However, it is recorded in my 5111 posts as of this writing that I had to CONTINUE flying that day, while everyone else was grounded.

Yes, and it was too close and too real to think about. I doubt anyone on this BB could say they didn't remember the time and place
I was home watching the whole thing live on tv...
I still say the U.S. had something to do with this whole thing
(not just muslims) Bombs were planted all over even on the 3rd building.
was all this an excuse to make war?
I love this video made by a girl who lost her father

I was scheduled to fly out of Pearson around noon or so.
I was preoccupied with my preparations, getting ready to hit the road for 2 weeks for work purposes.
I had neither the TV or the radio on.
I threw my luggage in the car and started driving to Pearson and only then did I put the radio on. Needless to say, it was on the radio. At first, I thought it was joke, but I stopped and turned the radio station and it was EVERY radio station. At the time, they made it sound like that there were hundreds of highjacked airplanes flying all over the world.
I drove to the office instead. People were just working away as usual like nothing ever happened. I got a call from the guy I was to meet at end of my flight and I thought that the flights would resume later that day. The enormity of it didn't really sink in till later that evening.....

I've posted about it before on previous threads. Yes I remember where I was like it was yesterday!
To all who lost fiends and family to this cowardly, murderous act; many of us shall never forget your loss. We shall honor those who were lost for the rest of our lives and teach generations to come of your loss.
May Peace be yours.
May Peace be yours.
I was in Boston with my team preparing for a meeting. One of the guys said that a plane had crashed into the WTC - I turned on a TV while the guys continued to prep and we all watched the 2nd plane hit live....
At that point I had one guy call Hertz and rent us a car (we got the last one in backbay) and I called the hotel and extended all our rooms for a night.
We checked out the next morning and drove back to NY/NJ, we dropped a guy who lived in the city at a train station in CT as that would be the easiest way to get into the city on the 12th, the rest of us drove home to NJ.
As luck would have it the ATF raided the hotel just after we checked out, apparently some of the terrorists stayed in our hotel on the 10th.
Strangest drive of my life, freeway was almost empty between Boston and NY (erie in itself) and there was a cop on every overpass.....
The sight of the smoke from downtown was heartbreaking.
I lost 8 people I worked with and two neighbors that day.
Went down to ground zero a couple of days later.... will never forget it.
I've flown almost every 9/11 since that one.... I make a point of it.

I was living in New Zealand at the time. I was getting out of the shower in the morning and had the radio on when I heard the news (it must have been September 12 were I was). At first I thought I was mishearing what I was hearing on the radio. All the events had taken place by then. It took me some time to put together and to believe what I was hearing.

I was working in Brampton and was out in the railyard when someone radioed me that a plane had crashed into a building,so me and my mate headed down to the lunch room and another person had a 5"screen TV and seen the second plane hit. The airport was quiet for rest of that day and we were use to having planes taken off from Pearson over our yard so it was quite strange!
GOD Bless those innocent people who died in those cowardly violent acts in the name of Religion.
The world has and never will be the same.
The world has and never will be the same.
I was at work thinking that the world was going to end with constant internet and TV updates.
The day I lost some of my innocense, thinking that there was mostly good in all people. I kid you not, there were people actually cheering as they seen the planes attacking while watching on the news. Now I understand why religion and racism are the major components that inhibit peace and fairness in this world. Ok this is just downright digusting that hatred can be so flagrant.

I was at my gf's place. It was before I had a computer. I was playing around on her comp when her teenaged daughter came home early from school because of the day's events.
I remember her saying "Did you hear ?"
gf "Hear what ?"
teen "You know the World Trade Center in New York ? It is gone !"
gf "What do you mean ?"
teen "Planes crashed into them and they are gone !"
gf "You mean they are damaged, on fire ?"
teen "No ! They are gone ! GONE ! They fell down !"
At this point I cut in and said "Turn on the TV."
They were showing a tape and it just happened to be before the collapse.
I said "See they are still there."
I then heard words that will huant me for the rest of my life.
teen "Keep watching."
Something about her tone, I knew it was going to be bad.
Boy I wish I was wrong that day.
I was on vacation so I was sleeping in and my daughter who was 7 at the time woke me up saying simply that the "planes were crashing all over the place". I got up groggily thinking "what the hell is with this kid now". That was until I looked at the TV. I was still in my pj's at 3pm and had not left the couch.
I was in Italy preparing for my sisters marriage 4 days before 9/11. Only been to the States a handfull of times at that point. When my next trip to the States landed in NY years later all i could think of was this horrific day.
I'll never forget those recorded emergency calls on that flight.
I was working at home, when someone from the office posted a picture of the airplane hitting the first building. I thought it was some kind of sick photoshop joke.
Unfortunately, it wasn't.
I visited New York for the first time in my life about a year after it happened. I'll never forget it - and I don't think my daughter will either (she was about 15 at the time).
PS: New York was amazing - I'll be back.

I would say all in the name of money and greed...
Religion was just used as the cover for the greedy assholes in congress and among the US elite.
