Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I still remember that day on September 11. I was in bed, and my mom said "Joseph, come out here quick!! People are gonna be asking where you were when this happened!". I got up and thought "alright, but this had better be important...". So I got up, I walked out and look at the tv, the first words I said were "holy Sh#@!!". I couldn't believe what I was seeing. Just a few minutes after I got up, the first tower collapsed. I was at a loss for words, I just blankly stared at the tv in shock and disbelief. My mom had the radio on, and Howard Stern was broadcasting live from New York, talking about the twin towers being hit. It was hectic. I got to school, and that's all anyone was talking about. In all of my classes, we didn't do any work, we just watched the news. I remember getting home, and just watching the news all day to see if they had any more details. I was afraid that the next target would be in California, maybe in the Los Angeles area. On battle.net and various message boards, that's all anyone talked about. I also talked to my AIM buddies about it, they couldn't believe it either. I remember all the planes being grounded, how I panicked whenever I heard a plane outside, and I had to go out and check on it every time, and my dad's cousin being stuck at LAX on a business trip. Another interesting thing about that day was that it was 2 days before my 17th birthday. I was delivered 2 days later than expected. Had I been delivered when I was supposed to be, I would have a birthday on the same day as the horror now known as 9/11.
