The moment I realized what was going on in the city, only 6 miles from my home, will be ingrained into my mind for the rest of my life. I'm sure it's the same for everyone else... So I started this thread out of the interest of everyone else's experiences and initial reactions.

I was in the computer office at school with one of my friends, working on an old computer trying to get it running again. Then my other friend walks in and says something to the effect of "Hey guys, a plane just crashed into the World Trade Center." We were surprised and curious, but figured it was a small plane (like a Cessna) and had no idea it would be such a big deal. Then one of the teachers turns on the radio and we hear "Boeing 767." At that point, we rushed to the library and turned on the TV to see a smoking tower on CNN. People were crying, and no one spoke a word.

i was in ap chem class, first period... over the intercom comes this: "we've just recieved word that an airplane has crashed into the world trade center building.. this is a serious situation...we will keep you posted during the day," etc.. this girl in my class asked this kid for his cell and proceeded to call her dad.. it was all silent until he picked up and simply said "your mom is ok." it seemed surreal to me until i got home and actually saw the buildings fall.. then i knew of the gravity of the situation..

7:44am : My mom akes me up and says "You'd better get up!" She was obviously shaken, but I couldn't possibly think of why. Scenarios of family deaths raced through my mind. "The World Trade Buildings have been leveled. They're completely gone. Someone flew two planes into them"

I got that ball of fear in the pit of my stomach that I always got when I dreamt of some great world castastrophy or something. The one that slowly went away as you realized everything was okay. But this time I knew it was real, and it wouldn't go away.

I hope they bury me upside down, so the whole damn world can kiss my ass

I was out running errands, I walked into Radio Shack and they had all the TV's on the news. I walked in and stood there, I couldn't believe that a plane had crashed into the World Trade Center. As I was standing there... BOOM! Another one.

It was the scariest moment in my life, it was as if I was there, but yet it was like it was a movie and I was watching it from afar.

Still, I can't believe it happened...

Foudn out about 10 minutes after the thrid plane crashed. Between 2 and thrid period my friend stopped me in the hall and said "Hey man, heard the crazy shit that's going on?? The World Trade Center has been hit, the pentagon too, and the Old Office is on fire!" I just sorta laughed because it all sounded very odd. I went into my German class and it was on T.V... my imeadeate reaction was just.. oh shit.. 10 minutes later having realized what happened, and relizing that it was done ON PURPOSE by people I asked to go the hallway to get a drink. I went into the hall way... got a drink.. put my head in the water for a minute or so.. picked myself up.. and punched the nearest well.. I didn't stop.. I kicked it with all my might and starting yelling "DICKLESS FUCKING COWARDS!!!" at the top of my lungs... I think classes inside could hear the thumping more then the screaming down the hallway.. so.. when I went back in I was rather red in the face and the teacher looked at interestingly... um.. then when I started ripping up my arms with my nails in class 30 minutes later my teacher asked if I wanted to go to the counslers office, I said I did, and I went and found my friends and fucking left... yeah.. that's it...

I was sitting in the hall waiting for my Engr class to start, when a Prof came out to get some other Profs and said something about a terrorist attack. Everyone was gathering in a classroom, so I walked down there and found out what was going on. While I was watching the TV the second plane hit the tower. I was in my Engr class watching the news when I heard that the Pentagon was hit by a plane. It still scares me that my dad was stationed at the Pentagon before, and because of this we know many people that work there. He said that when everyone is accounted for that we will know someone who was killed or injured in the Pentagon. I've heard that some of them are ok, but the ones that I don't yet know about scares me.
