Personally I was in 8th grade. We were about to watch a movie and turned on the TV only to see what had happened. I grew up in southern CT. We could see the smoke from my town. I now live in NYC and know several people who were in the area when the first plane hit. 1 person was working at the same Burger King that the first responders ended up using at a base. Another person was working down on Maiden Lane. He had just immigrated to the US a few weeks prior.
