One of my most vivid memories from that day are seeing the multiple images of people jumping out of the windows, the smoke and fire pouring from the building, and finally, everyone that was covered in the dust and ruin on the ground.
Where were you that day when you heard the news? I happened to be at home with my Dad and we had both decided to play hookey from work/school. We were just about to pop a VHS tape in to watch the shows we recorded the night before (this was before DVR, lol) and the news broke through the regular programming to report that one plane had just crashed into the World Trade Center. I remember just sitting there in awe as I watched the next hour or so of events just unfold before my eyes.
I didn't personally lose anyone that day close to me, but I know several people that did.
