911 - Had just returned from France to home (Beirut, which Maleficient seems to recall several things about, but I was too young to remember much from these days) 2 days before. I was on the road to visit some family members, when I got a call from a friend - he told me two planes crashed in the WTC, one in the pentagon, one in the white house [I guess there was a rumour about that last one at that point]. I said "whatever". Just thought he was messing with me (he was a bit of a bullshitter at times). When I got to my destination, someone there starts talking about the "horrible events".. So then I went to the TV and couldn't believe it was real.
I had never been to the US yet at that point, but I was applying for grad school over there around that time.. I remember thinking that those plans might not work out. Thankfully, they did.
