Where were you? [modified]

Its the 11th of Sept here at the moment and I thought it would be interesting to see where everyone was on this day 6 years ago when you heard about the attacks in the US I was here[^] on a surfing trip with a mate, its was late at night and we we're sitting up waiting for some other friends to drive up from Sydney. We'd both fallen asleap while watching the telly when someone called to tell us what was happening. We saw the second aircraft crash into the building and stayed up most of the night watching the reports. It was very sureal to wake up too especially considering we were very very stoned and worn out from a long day of driving / surfing -- modified at 3:20 Tuesday 11th September, 2007 I really cant spell to save my life
I was at work, Then a call came out for help in regards to the international planes being diverted to Newfoundland (where I live). You can read about it here http://www.snopes.com/rumors/gander.htm[^] I don't live in Gander but in St. John's Newfoundland where we also have housed many flights and showed them hospitality.

At work. I heard a colleague talking about a plane which crashed into the WTC, but nobody thought tp a terrorist attack but to an accident. It was only after going home that I learned a second plane crashed, that they were airliners and not some cessnas, and that it was deliberated action and not an accident.

In my college dorm room oversleeping. I normally woke up between 8:30 and 9:30 that semester, that particular day I woke around 10:40 and had an 11:00 class. I didn't see anyone while brushing my teeth but managed to figure out that Something Had Happened by the time I got to my history and philosophy of science class. THe proff filled me and several other classmates in with both some accurate news and bogus rumors including 'a dozen more hijacked ac still flying' (immediate reaction WTF is the Airforce). He then spent a few minutes prattling on about how nothing would ever be the same again before attempting to conduct class for maybe 20 minutes before the school administration got around to shutting it down. Given that we were in what was by a large measure the tallest building outside of downtown Pittsburgh he had alot of trouble trying to keep our attention.

At home, working.... a relative rang with the news, and I sat transifixed in front of the TV for the rest of the day... Afterwards, I noticed two distinct reactions amongst people I met: thise who had watched it live, and those who only heard it about it or saw it on a la ter news broadcast (perhaps after returning from work) - the former, such as myself, were far more traumatised and affected by it; to many of the latter it was just another news story, albeit a terrible one.

I was at work, in the same time zone. Also, I notice that it also was a Tuesday, like today.

Out boating on the Norfolk Broads with my sister and pretty much missed the entire thing. Stopped in at a local shop to get bread on the way back to the hostel and was served by a woman who never looked at me once. She was just standing glued to a TV with her mouth open but I can't say I took a lot of notice at the time. Have since spent quite a lot of time studying the event and concluded that most of what we've been told about it is a lie.:(

*sigh* There's always one. Have you bothered to read the sites that explain why the conspiracy sites are ridiculous ?

Yes, and some of them are spot on. Many of the conspiracy sites are ridiculous, some just not quite as ridiculous as the official conspiracy about 19 arabs with box cutters, that's all.

Fair enough. If you don't swallow them all ( like the 'dynamite in the basement theory' ), then that's something. I would guess that you belong to a church where your opinions on this matter are widely held ? I belonged to a church like that (briefly). It was a fascinating place, I think some social scientists or anthropologists should join places like that and report on their findings.

Luckily, you had the foresight to wear your tin-foil hat immediately afterwards, making your brain impenetrable to the waves. Unfortunately, I can't say the same for the rest of us dopes.

What's the truth?
More important, does it involve the anti-Christ ? I clearly remember the first gulf war, and my dad looking for me to support the claim that Saddam was the anti Christ, he was going to make a peace treaty with Israel, and then the great tribulation would start. *sigh*

In my college dorm room on the West coast, in deep sleep along with my roommates. The first plane hit when it was, for me, before 6am, so I was still sleeping. Shortly after, the phone rang and rang and rang and finally, I got up to answer it to the assailing voice of my roommate's girlfriend shrieking about terrorists and hitting the WTC and the Pentagon and it took me a couple of minutes to really process what she was saying. I woke up my roommate and gave him the phone, and turned on the TV. Within a few minutes most of my dorm floor was huddled around my TV, watching the news; we watched both towers fall, live. I spent the better part of the day sitting there waiting for someone to say it was all just a joke. Of course, that never came.. and I, like other posters here, had an interesting sense that I knew I was watching history in the making. Classes were, of course, cancelled for the day.

I was on the way to work when I heard that the first plane hit and the second hit when I was at work. A left-wing British scum bucket I had the great misfortune to work with was making light of the situation...laughing and enjoying every minute (his subsequent behavior showed that this wasn't just a tactic to mask his concern).
