I was at home with my friend having a cuppa,we saw the first plane go in and I thought it was an accident,then the second went through, I knew then it was a terrorist attack and it all seemed very surreal ,as I saw the lady of the family I worked as a nanny for in NY on TV ,she worked at St Vincents hospital and she was in the street just looking at the carnage,it was then on TV all day and most of the coming weeks,very sad day and a turning point in the world I think.

I was 7 at the time and remember coming home from school and seeing it on TV. I always remember this time pretty well since my Nan was in a coma when this happened and she sadly passed on later in the month.

At school and then I came home and my mum came home from work and she was trying to contact my grandma uncle auntie and cousins who were flying to Florida eventually we got in contact they were diverted to Canada but because it was before the days of good mobile phones it took us 24 hours before we knew they were ok. It doesn't compare to the horrible events of that day but I always remember that because it haooened on the same day

Bumping this as it’ll be 20 years since in a few days.

Can’t believe it.

In bed. I was on the old rock n roll at the time.

It was the strangest thing, I woke up and thought to myself that somethings not right, like something had happened, I went down stairs and on the TV there was coverage and reports of the first plane crash, as I was watching that the second plane came into view and smashed into the other building. It was jaw dropping.

I was still in Maths, just like in 2018. Weird coincidence.

I was at work, everyone was just stunned, we all went home as soon as it happened.


20 years on, and the environment is totally different. For months over this winter, the USA had more covid deaths every day than died in total in 9/11 .

20 years on and 10's of thousands have died in Afghanistan as a direct result of that event. It blows my mind

It's different really, I think people would still be just as stunned if similar happened tomorrow... it's just a more visceral scene than the "faceless stats" of daily covid deaths.
