I was sleeping (I'm homeschooled so I can do that). I was woken up by just a few words from my mom who had burst into my room, "The Pentagon is gone." I thought something to the effect of "Holy Sh**!" Of course that wasn't the case, but that was what my older brother had told my mom before either of them had actually seem it on the news, my brother had just heard it from his friend. I got up and saw the smoke billowing out from the WTC on TV and I wondered "Why can't I see the other tower?" I had thought it was just that the smoke was so thick, but I was apparently wrong... Only minutes after I saw the second tower come down, live on television. It was scary as hell.

On a side note, not REALLY on topic with this particular thread but I talked to a friend of mine via AIM later that day who lives in NYC... turns out he was 1 block away from the WTC when it happened a the high school near there, Styvesette or something like that, I never remember the name... He wasn't the same and I haven't talked to him since, he never answers IM's or anything...
