I was in an aviation class (irony) at the U of I. I came home to 5 voicemails from my parents, didn't go to class the rest of the day.

I was at U of I too, in a lab. We were actually somewhat secluded and did not find out what had happened until about 10:30 that morning.

I was at work. We were all in the conference room watching the television when the second plane hit. It's still very surreal to see that footage.

I was also in a conference room and saw the 2nd plane hit. It was pretty sad.

I was getting ready to leave for work when it popped up on every news station and radio station. It was kinda weird how the sky was usually full of planes and then it was deafly silent. There is a airforce base close by and the F-15 were buzzing over head all day. I will never forget that day for sure.

I was working for an excavation company after graduating from college. I was repairing a sewer line. I will never forget that day. Probably one of the reasons it took me so long to find a job in engineering. It truly was a sad day.

I was asleep till My mom yelled up and said a plane had just hit the towers. I thought she was BS'ing. Then when I turned on the tv. Oh $hit. I called my unit to see if we were getting activated and then started packing my crap. Wasn't until 2003, then I got deployed.

I was in my 7th grade History class doing a terrorist intruder drill, where we get away from all the doors and windows, ironic? I just remember my teacher walkin the the room crying saying we were under attack. I will never forget that day.
