Where exactly were you 14 years ago when you learned of the events of 9-11 ?

7. I was on crutches

My usual morning routine of watching the news when I dressed for work was broken by dealing with crutches. My husband drove me to work because of the cast, so my routine of listening to the radio while driving was broken, as husband and I chatted instead. I got all the way to work without hearing a thing. I was in California so the towers had already fallen. As I walked in, our h.r. Director was coming in, and she said something about the towers being gone. I had no idea what she was talking about. As I walked in, I noticed people huddled around blaring tv's so I joined them and learned of the horror. My boss, who was the general counsel of the company said to me later in the day that she was very glad it had happened so early in the morning cause so many people hadn't gotten to work yet. I looked at her and said, "yeah, the you's weren't there yet, but the me's were". She looked at me startled, then said, "you are right".
