I can't believe it was 6 years either.... but I was still in HS!! Still remember it like it was yesterday!
 
i cant forget it, we felt it when they fell, it measured on the scales all the way up in maine, i was 2 hours from there, sitting in the steel shop i worked for and it was dead silent in the shop as we were looking over blueprints at the table. we werent sure what we felt so we shrugged it off, and a few minutes later our boss came running down from his office upstairs and told us to come up and watch the tv, he had the news on, we just stodd in the conference room like statues. i had just founf out a few days before this that my wife was pregnant with our first child. i still cant believe its been 6 years already, i'm just waiting till something happens again. sad to say, but it will happen.
 
It is not a forgettable event for me.

I live in New York City. I heard about the event during Grand Rounds at my hospital. The head of the ER waited until the end of Grand Rounds to make the announcement. When he said that two planes struck the World Trade Center, I asked if it was terrorism.

The day started with the clearest blue sky. After leaving Grand Rounds, I could see the smoke from the site of the World Trade Center, and only one tower was still standing.

As a physician, I volunteered for ER duty my local hospital in Queens that night. Tragically, they never called me, as no casualties arrived.

I remember the night after the attack vividly. I could not sleep as the emergency vehicle sirens never stopped that night. My neighborhood was covered with fine white dust for days afterward.
 
I remember.My boss called me and told me to turn on the radio.We didnt have one so we all crammed into a room at the plant that had a little black and white TV and watched in stunned silence.
