Where were you on 9/11?...

97. My kids and I saw the 2nd plane hit on TV

while watching the Today show. I was channel surfing a few minutes before, and saw where MSNBC went live right away, the other channels had went live a couple of minutes later. When the 2nd plane hit we just sat in shock at what we had just seen. It took a minute for it to sink in that we were being attacked, at first glance it sort of looked like a fighter hitting the building, maybe a couple got off course....or something was going terribly wrong at the tower at JFK or LaGuardia.

What was eerie also for me was in the days afterward, when all the planes were grounded. I stood outside and it was a weird silence, I think we hear more noise from the planes way overhead than we think we do. It was a strange kind of silence, I could hear the cars and other noise, it was a strange time.
