What were you doing when 9/11 happened?
I was 2 years old so obviously I wouldn't remember.

I had just arrived at work. I went in and told people what had happened. Their initial response was "That's not funny." It took me a minute to convince them it was really happening. Ironically a friend of mine was due to fly to Germany that day. He did not.
That night I phoned my Mom, and told her that I now understood what her generation felt at the news of Pearl Harbor.

Did you hear it on the radio on your way into work?
Your friend sure was lucky, if he was going to board one of the hijacked planes.
Yes I heard it on my car radio just as I was pulling into the parking lot. When the first plane hit I thought it was a simple aviation accident. But when I heard about the second plane I thought "This is war." My friend's flight to Germany got canceled. All of the four hijacked planes were on domestic flights within the U.S. Ironically he died of natural causes a scant three years later.
