So where were you on Sept 11th?

[Rick Hunter]

As heart-wrenching as it was to experience 9-11 as a spectator (fortunately, nobody I knew was in NYC / DC @ the time) I don't think I will ever understand the hardship experienced by those first hand. I have the utmost respect in all the people involved (direct and indirect) in the effort to raise us up again as a proud nation. God Bless them all.

I was 1 mile away from ground zero having a meeting on the 55th floor - watching it all unfold. The weirdest event in my life.

Same place as I was this past Sept 11. In Torrance, Ca working for Alcoa. Was unable to see a TV till I got home that evening.

I was at work watching the towers come down stayed locked and loaded for a long time I promise I will never forget

I was part of a Government Source Inspection of fin and boom tail components that are part of 120mm M1A1 tank rounds. An IT dewd interupted us that a plane crashed into one of the WTC towers. My first thought was that I remembered an old newspaper account of a WWII bomber that had crashed into the Empire State building, perhaps this is the same situation. We turned on the conference room TV and stayed mesmerized. I went home and didn't turn the TV off for days.

Was sitting in bed watching as the second plane hit. I've now got a compulsive need in the mornings to turn on the news and make sure no new "man made disaster" has happened.
