September 11, 2001: Where were you?
Where were you?
Where were you when you first heard of the attacks on the twin towers on 9/11/2001?
Obviously it’s on all our minds this weekend what took place 10 years ago. It changed so much of who we are as a nation and a people. Living in a military town, I’ve witnessed the sacrifice of so many because of that day.
Here’s my story of where I was:
I was in business at the time, but did a Christian radio program every morning at 9 AM. I left my office and headed to the radio station as normal. I walked into the station, the talk show on before the show I did was live, and the television had just interrupted to announce the first tower had been hit. I remember feeling someone in shock, wondering if it were even real. It usually takes me a minute or two to process the magnitude of things, but it was an eerie and sobering feeling I’ll never forget.
Where were you when you first heard the news?
What went through your mind?
