e) the 9/11 attacks occurred
At work in the school's library. We had the TV on from the very beginning (we always watched the news first thing in the morning). As we were watching the live news feed, we all saw the second plane. At first we didn't know what we were seeing as we were all in disbelief. Being so close to the events, we had plenty of students with parents who worked in NYC, so you can imagine the thoughts going through their minds.
I think I'd like to add to this list of "where were you when..."
f) the first attack on the World Trade Center occured?
g) the Gulf War started?
h) the US Space Shuttle Challenger accident occured?
i) the US Space Shuttle Columbia accident occured?
f) at work in the bank listening to the radio.
g) at home watching TV with my boyfriend at the time. I remember being worried about him being drafted.. damn I wish they had reinstated the draft back then
h) home from school, sick. Watched the launch on TV like I knew my classmates were doing.
i) Just waking up, turned on the TV and it was all over the news.
