Where were you on 9/11? (by TheyCallMeMrRam318)
(29 / F-M / Tennessee)i was at home sitting in the living room floor waiting for my mom to start home schooling for the day and noticed planes hitting the towers on the news and
started screaming for my mom &dad & they came rushing in & my mom started crying &my dad slide to the floor beside me and pulled me into his lap and started
shaking and holding me tight to him like i was the one being hurt & my mom went & found my brothers& sat on the couch with them crying.& i just stared in shock
I was in my house when CNN broadcasted the events, got the chill of my life when the building started to collapse on itself. Cried when I saw a person fall from the building knowing that whoever it was had really no chance of surviving.
I had been out celebrating a friends birthday at a bar the night before, and I didnt get home till just before sunrise that morning. When I awoke late that morning, I went right to work in my home studio. About 2 pm, my father called and told me what had happened in New York. I really thought at first he might have gotten misinformed, but 2 minutes after turning on the tv, what had happened, hit me with full force! I remember feeling every emotion a person can feel during the next few hours of watching CNN, but mostly feeling anger, sadness and hate!!

remember it was late evening something like 8 pm i came back home from
work and saw everyone my parents my bother watching CNN . they said that
there was a terrorist strike in newyork at the WTC towers . i was
shocked beyond belief . terrorism was something which happened in poor
third world countries not in USA . in india we have struggled with it
for decades , but it was incredible that such a thing happened in usa .
i remember being unable to sleep and watching news on tv the whole night
. and i can never forget the sight of people jumping from towers , still
get goosebumps remembering it .
i knew that night this was going to be a seminal event and the world was
never going to be the same again . also i knew that this would entail
severe repercussions for the indian subcontinent .
