I remember EXACTLY where I was when I heard that the first tower had been hit. I was in college and we had a break in the middle of lecture. A classmate told me what had happened, I thought she was kidding at first. So we all went back to class only to come out of class having heard that the second tower had been hit. I'm sorry we didn't take it as seriously right when we initially had heard the news. My professor later appologized to us for not calling off the lecture, because people calling their loved ones in retrospect, was far more important than anything we could've learned in lecture.

I will never forget - screaming at my hubby, who was in-line boarding a flight home from Chicago, not to get on the plane. Once the second plane hit the Towers, I had a feeling it was no accident. Luckily, he got the last rental car as they were grounding all flights across the country and drove straight home, where we sat glued to the TV for what seemed like a month!
