I had just started Year 7, and I came in from school and my mum had FOX News on. I remember watching the events unfold as I was doing Science homework.

I was only one years old so I don't remember it at all.

I remember being at school and all the teachers suddenly starting acting really strange and me and my friends knew there was something up but didn't know what, and then going home and seeing it on TV. I'm not sure if I saw the plane hit live or if it was a replay but I remember seeing it when I walked through the door and having an overwhelming feeling of dread and then just sitting in front of the TV for hours with my family.

I don't actually remember the day itself that well but I remember it happened just as I started secondary school and we were all so scared and everybody couldn't stop talking about it for the rest of the week.

I actually don't remember 9/11...I was only 8 at the time mind. I remember 7/7 though, I came home from school and my mum had it on the TV.

I was in the car on the way back to work when it come on the radio, I thought it was a joke for a minute when they announced the second tower had been hit :(

I was coming home from school and my mum told me about it and I was worried because my aunty uncle gran and cousins had gone to Florida that day and I must not have realised the severity because I remember saying oh they wont diverte them its not near New York then when I got home and saw the planes crashing in the towers I started to realise the severity and became frightened for everyone.

I feel really old compared to some on here! I was on my way back to work after lunch and half heard something about it on the radio but actually thought it was the plot of a new movie or something. Got back to work and everyone was just standing in reception staring at the television. Very surreal afternoon, I don't think we got one phone call all day after it happened.

Working for an American Internet marketing company in London. I recall lots of news sites went down as this was early Internet but I got on to the guardian. We spent the afternoon In the boardroom watching TV in horror. Many people knew people in the towers and there was screaming and tears. We also had a big US airline as a client so that caused drama too.
