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

in #wwyw8 years ago

I was working at a TV station, but I was in an office with no TV. I walked past one to go to the kitchen and saw a burning building, but didn't pay too much attention at first. Later I learned what was happening. It did affect me mentally as I generally work in a tower block near an airport. Friends of friends were killed that day. I don't know who was really responsible, but it was thought up by some really sick and desperate minds.

Thank you for sharing. I can see how that would make you feel unsafe at work. One of my old friends who saw the attacks in person from across the water at a convention center in New Jersey was affected similarly. For months afterward, the sound and sight of airplanes gave her panic attacks.

I haven't let it put me off flying when I need to. We can't let them win. Thanks for the transfer
