RE: 9/11/2001 Where were you when you first heard about the attacks that occurred on that day?

I will never forget it, I was in a record store in Saarbrücken, it was my best friend's birthday and I bought an experimental Sonic Youth album

The cashier told me the news that first one and just now a second plane had hit the WTC. We knew it meant war. Shitty day. Somehow that day was in fact a goodbye to the 20th century, the old paradigm.

It certainly did change a lot of things. Thanks for sharing. I used to be a huge Sonic Youth fan. It's kind of interesting to have such an event connected to an album or a band.
