9/11 – Where Were You?

So today is obviously the 6 year mark from the events of “terrorist attacks” on the World Trade Center and Pentagon. I was over at the 9rules site where a discussion started about where people were that day and what they remember. I find it really intriguing to read other peoples’ stories on where they were and what they remember about hearing about the events. Mine was as follows…
I was still in college, and I remember waking up to see an IM from my friend saying “Turn on the news, we’re being attacked.” Of course I thought it was a joke, but sure enough, I turned it on to see a tower burning. Then the second plane crashed into the building.
I think it was the most disturbing thing that I have ever witnessed. I couldn’t focus in class all day. I don’t think I had ever seen anything of that stature while being alive. I pretty much spent that whole evening/night with friends and watching the news. It really is a day I’ll never forget.
The other stories are interesting to read as well. Right now I’m in the process of watching a video about the events being propaganda.
The video is pretty interesting and raises good points, however, I’m not going to get into all that unless a debate in the comments starts about it.
So I’m curious to know your story about the days events. Where were you when you found out, how did you feel, etc.?
