Where were you?

In my parents era, everyone can remember where they were when John F. Kennedy was assassinated.

My era's question is that of "Where were you on September 11, 2001?

It has been 7 years since the terrorist attacks on New York City, Washington D.C. and a small farming community in Pennsylvania. But I can remember vividly where I was at 8:43 a.m. I was at work in my office in Southfield, Michigan when a friend and co-worker came in to tell me that a plane had hit on of the World Trade Center Towers. I could not log on to any of the news channels as they were bogged down by others trying to get information. So. I called my mother. At that time, no one knew exactly what was happening. All anyone knew was that a jetliner had crashed.

And then the second plane hit the South Tower. And then the Pentagon and then, Shanksville, PA. We wondered where the next place was going to be. September 11, 2001 made every American very aware that war can happen anywhere.

My office allowed us to leave and go home that day. I can remember watching the news feeds over and over of the planes and the towers going down. You couldn't help but watch because it was all so unbelievable.

So. Where were you?
