My grandma's house in Arkansas. I was with my mom, my little brother, and my Nana. My family was in the process of moving to Oklahoma where my dad was being stationed. Mom was asleep, Nana and lil bro were making breakfast, and I had just got up so I turned the TV on to see the gaping hole in the 1st tower. I was about 9 years old at the time.
I may have been in school when this happened. It was during the second grade, so I know I should remember. I only remember seeing the event on television.
lots of people have mentioned their ages...i was 20. i'm on the other side of the world (australia) so i was asleep. i'd been sick & throwing up since the afternoon before though & had *finally* managed to get an hour or two sleep when our house phone rang. i lived with my brother & another flatmate at the time...they slept upstairs, & me downstairs...where the phone was. so i dragged myself out of bed at 6.30am (i think...i know it was *early*) to answer the phone...it was my brother's mate (ex-army) who sounded very animated & loud & saying "turn the tv on - america's under attack!". as i mentioned, i had been very sick for the 16 or so hours prior to that, & i was so so tired...so i told him to f**k off & hung up on him, before going back to bed. i got up a couple of hours later to find my brother & housemate watching it all on tv. & cos i was still sick, i ended up spending the day on the couch watching it all unfold...
