9/11 can you remember where u was??

<< < (6/12) > >>

Star:
Waiting at the school gates to pick our 2 lads up and another parent told us what had happend, at 1st we thought it was a wind up, as soon as we got home we put the tv on :shock:

Our eldest (8 at the time) wanted to know what 'game' it was advertising and the youngest (4 at the time) said " I don't like this film, can we watch another?" :(

Not the easiest thing to explain to young children  :( , the school did the next day though, in a much better way than I ever could.

The eeriest thing was having no planes flying from Birmingham Airport, which is only about 5 minutes away from ours ~ it was so quiet  :( .

landroverkeith:
was at work at the sywell aerodrome sat on the forklift listening to the radio .... very sad day

blacknight:
I work in a local hospital and was discussing a job with one of the "old school" ward sisters.

I can remember the exact ward and the sister I was speaking to.

Behind her was a television which was relaying the events live as they unfolded, I pointed out to her what was happening, we both couldn't believe what we were watching. Both of us ended up watching these events and very little work got done.

the loon:
I was at work. Kept on getting little bits of info off people who where calling in after the first impact and we all thought it was an accident then after the second impact it became clear what was going on

discograham:
I was at home on a day off.. chilling in front of the tv.. then it all became the wrong sort of chilling.....
