    Default 9/11/2001

    Never forget.

    I was pulling into work and Peter Boyles started talking about the first tower being hit...

    No where in my history can I place where I was at a certain event.

    Maybe JFK but I was three months old. My Mother could give you explicit details as to where she was and what was going on.

    Where were you?

    My wife and I were both just getting ready to leave for work when we watched what we thought was a horrific accident.
    I pulled up to the jobsite which was only a few minutes away at the time.
    As I parked, we gathered around one of my buddy's portable black and white tv on his tailgate and watched the second tower being struck shortly after.

    I think the phrase "WTF" was the most phrase used as we all stood there in horror.

    After the 1st tower was hit back when we watched CNN I live witnessed the second tower on TV get hit, my draw dropped and I said, "The world just changed.... This was no accident"
    I say lets all remove the warning labels and let nature take its course.

    Same here. It was on the TV when I got to class that morning for the first tower and then a short while later while we were watching I live witnessed it on TV as well when the 2ND tower was hit.

    You meant: 9/11/01 right?

    I was at the stop sign down the street in my dad's work van in the way to school. Walked into English to see the second one hit.

    Turned on the tv as I normally do getting ready for the day. Didn't have the sound up at first. Turned it up just as the second plane it, my older son heard me react, came to see before he left for school-that was a deciding factor for him to enlist.

    Never forget.
