9/11 Talkback

This Sunday will mark ten years since 9/11 changed the world.

Everyone old enough to remember can recall the image of the World Trade Center as it collapsed. The tragedy struck us all in different ways and we can all remember exactly what we were doing and where we were when we first heard the news.

We here at Patch would like to hear about where you were on September 11, 2001. What were the first thoughts that entered into your head? We want to hear your stories about where you were and what ran through your head during the day of the attack.

When I first heard, I was a senior in high school in Miami. I remember another student running into the room, stating that someone had crashed a plane into the World Trade Center. Immediately, the whole class was glued to the television as we watched the smoke billow out of the Twin Towers. I couldn’t believe what had happened and was absolutely dumbfounded. I still remember seeing the buildings fall to the ground vividly. I remember feeling frightened and confused and not being able to comprehend that we were attacked so viciously.

Whatever your story is, we’d like to hear it and share it. You can post your stories in the comments, on Facebook or through e-mail if you’d like to remain anonymous.

If you’d like to share, please have all submissions in by Saturday night so we can post all the stories on 9/11.
