9/11

[HGLyman]

Where were you when you found out about the planes hitting the wtc on september 11th 2001? How did you find out? Do you remember your first reactions?

Same questions for the 7/7 attack in london...

9/11 we were in abroad, can't remember where but we had seen something on a tele so I went to nosy and came back and told my parents. It scared the hell out of me and once home, I've not been on a plane since.

7/7 I was at work.

9/11 I was at work and it came on the News just as the 2nd plane hit the tower,everyone just stopped what what they were doing and just stared in shock at the TV.I dont think any phones rang or anything.

7/7 I was at home waiting for my shopping to be delivered and then the delivery guy arrived and we both just stood watching the TV as it was confirmed that they were bombs!

9/11 i had just come home from school - I was 12. my mum was watching the news on the TV and i didnt understand the severity of it at first and didnt get what the big deal was.

7/7 I was in gran canaria on holiday and was shocked to see the headlines on the british newspapers.

9/11 - i was at school and all the teachers were having a panic by the staff room so i done a bit of ear wigging!
think we were all allowed to leave school early, so i went home n watched the news all evening with my mum. I was terrified.

7/7 - i actually have no idea... how bads that!

9/11 I was driving to school and when we got there it was all over the news in our classrooms. They made everyone turn off there classroom tv's as many kids had families in the towers. Such a sad day

Also, I just want to add that instead of looking back and remembering what an awful day it was, we should be looking forward and celebrating the people who died lives. They're gone and nothing can change that.

9/11- I was at school but when i came home it was all over the news.I was really scared as i was due to fly to Florida in November. I was 9 nearly 10.

7/7- I was at home i think and was shitting it as my family live in london and travel on the tubes and the train that got bombed was the one my uncle gets to work everyday luckily he decided to cycle that day.

I agree with Blah we should be celebrating their lives

I was ill so had a day off school. We saw the 2nd plane hit live. So sad x

7/7 was at home eating lunch with my lil boy when I saw it on the news x

 

[Aidan's Mummy]

9/11- I had just come Home from school and I saw the two towers burning
I remember asking my dad if it was a film and him shaking his head l. Our whole family just stood round the tavern staring in terror.

7/r7- I was at school when I heard the news. The scary thing was I was meant to be at kings cross on that morning, coming home from Portsmouth. But we had decided to come home early.

9/11- I was 10 years old and remember going into the dining room and mum had the tv on and it was awful.

7/7- I can't actually remember as awful as that is.

I've just been on the daily mail website and there is a story on there about people who had premonitions and knew they were going to die on 9/11. We were watching documentarys on it last night and it is so so sad.

 

[mum2b2009]

I was in a science lesson at school and the teacher told us. Did not really take it in till i saw it on the news.

Cant remember for the london ones xx

 

[polo_princess]

9/11 i was at school, we didnt do any work for the rest of the day and watched everything unfold on tv

7/7 i not sure, i think i was at home for some reason, i should have been at work but i wasnt and cant remember why

 

[AppleBlossom]

9/11 I can't remember why I didn't see it in the morning but I either came home early from school or I saw it when I came home and it had already happened. I just remember sitting on the couch thinking "What?!"

7/7 I was in school again but I think I heard about it, went home (was in sixth form) and watched it on tv, again thinking "What the hell?!"

 

[special_kala]

9/11 i came home from school and my brother and dad were standing round the tv. i thought it was a accident at first.

 

[v2007]

On 9/11 i was at home and i turned the TV at 3pm so Mollie could watch kids tv and it was all over the news.

The 1st tower had already been hit and was ablaze and then the 2nd plane hit and went upstairs to tell me Mam who was in bed with a migrane.

I said you need to come and see this.

On 7/7 i was at home after taking Mollie to School and i turned the tv on to see that there were reports of a explosion at Edgeware Road.

9/11 - I was on a break at work when I heard about it on the radio in the staff room. I hadn't heard of the twin towers before then so I didn't have much grasp of how huge it was until I got home and saw the coverage on TV.

7/7 - I was at work and had logged onto BBC news website while it was quiet.
