And I remember hearing about it and waking up by the sound of the TV, displaying and replaying what happened. It was terrible.

We soon found out it was not a "small plane" - and we watched the towers fall, one after the other, live, in shocking disbelief.Raji P.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08454013409152866521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9212501049425940906.post-46873106499227282602010-01-25T07:00:15.487-08:002010-01-25T07:00:15.487-08:00I wasn't around for Abe Lincoln's assassin...I wasn't around for Abe Lincoln's assassination, but I remember the death of JFK very well. I was going door to door doing a survey for a speech class I was taking at UT. I did not believe the man who told me the news until I went into his house and watched the horror unfold on his TV screen.<br /><br />On 9/11, I was teaching middle school in Seguin. There was an announcement on the PA and we were all dismissed early, but I don't think any of us fully realized the horror of it until we got home.Nancy Meredithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02843036034449263629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9212501049425940906.post-78643812635553613532010-01-24T22:31:00.288-08:002010-01-24T22:31:00.288-08:00I was in Vancouver, British Columbia on 9/11.

Cripes - here I am co...A physician and a lawyer?!? Cripes - here I am complaining about what I have to accomplish! LOL!<br /><br />Where was I on 9/11? That's easy because my husband was stationed at Eglin Air Force Base learning how to diffuse bombs and other explosive devices. Right after the news hit, all fighter planes were grounded and the base was on lockdown. You can't imagine how eerie that is because the fighter planes would be training from sun-up to sun-down and well beyond. There were ALWAYS fighter planes in the air, so the total silence that occurred after the reports started filtering out of NYC was more terrifying than the reports themselves.<br /><br />I remember distinctly fearing for my husband, that he would be called up for some form of duty that would put him in harm's way, even though he had been in the Army for five years by this time. It was the first time the realization that there were bad guys out there who my husband may have to fight and who would think nothing of shooting my husband ever truly hit me. I also had a minor panic attack because I was working off-base but my son was at a daycare provider who lived on-base. I was not certain how I would be able to pick him up, if he was safe, and so forth. From that day forward, military installation security was never the same. It is a moment that I will never, ever forget because of the two-fold terror it instilled.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02160951421693455864noreply@blogger.com
