A couple of images have always stuck in my mind from that day (other than the obvious terrible horrific ones). 

At work the first time i was able to get to a TV and there was a portly old guy covered in dust and basically panting saying "70 years old, I guess i can still run, what the hell is happening?"

and that night had to take a break from watching it and couldnt sleep, so went out on the deck at about 11 with a beer, and it was so clear and could see every star it seemed, but it struck me that you didnt see a single plane.  

Terrible day for sure.

Terrible day in our history, never forget!  Also, almost a quarter of the amount of people that the piece of shit Andrew Cuomo has killed during this pandemic, died that day.  Never forget that the government will exploit a tragedy/emergency to push it's agenda (on either "side"), or seize power at the expense of it's citizen's liberties.

I was a brand new teacher in a brand new school in a suburb of the city and it was our first full day with students. Terrifying on so many levels.
Parents rushing into school to take their kids - no security it protocols like today and we had no information as to why they were doing it. School forbade us from turning on the tv or radios.
Never forget

I remember well.  I was driving to work.  I was a archery tech at a local gun, archery shop. First plane hit while I was in route.  2nd hit while at work.  That day was crazy, along with the following couple weeks.  We sold out of guns and ammo.   I purchased 4 Bushmaster AR's  that day. 

IIRC, my price was just under $600...  I sold those from my truck for $1000.00.  The store was pretty much empty of any type of firearms.  The Archery sales actually jumped also.
