7 years on... what were you doing when you heard about the 9/11 bombings?

It has been 7yrs since 9/11 do you remember what you were doing and where you were when it happened.? I was in the middle of working a busy lunch shift in work when i heard the news.

Quietest flight I have ever been on.

I was pregnant with my middle daughter and remember watching it in total shock and horror, that night I thought I was going into labour but she kept me waiting another 3 days. Such an evil act of terrorism that will be forever etched in our minds! May the perpetrators rot in hell!!!!

I stayed on holidays in Australia and could not believe the message - a member of our group heard it on the radio - we had no TV for 5 days because we was on a camping tour within the Red Center. But I was very astonished as we came back to civilisation and the headlines of the newspapers reported only about the bankruptcy of their airline!!! Cool people, these Australians!

I was sitting in Dublin airport, with my dad, wondering why my sisters flight from the States hadn't arrived, and why there was no delay notification on the boards.
Then the phone rang, and my girlfriend told me what was on Sky News.
My dad and I were scared stiff.
My sisters flight eventually landed safely, several hours late, but the whole day had a very surreal quality to it.
A very numbing day.
Tragic, and a lot of questions are still left unanswered.
Dave.

I had just arrived in from lunch and shopping with one of my good friends, had had such a nice day until I turned on sky news... Wierd how everyone remembers what they did on that day so well, yet I struggle to remember what I did last Tuesday....

RIP...... x
