911 - i remember we were all at work, and my friend jay goes "my girlfriend said some plane just hit the WTC - look on CNN.com"
his girlfriend worked in the meadowlands, about 4 miles from NYC on the jersey side, and her office window faced the towers... they were all looking out the windows at the smoke, wondering what happened to the pilot and such.
my mother was driving to work in hoboken, and as she came out onto observer highway (named such because as you drive towards the waterfront you have a clear view of the WTC less then a mile away) as the second plane hit. i called her and she was in tears...
i don't think i'll ever be able to forget that day - i knew people that didn't make it back...
