Guy works at a video store on 9/11. Calls his boss and suggests closing up for the night as he can't imagine there would be many customers. He gets a few and one of them rented 'Dude, where's my car?'.

Watched the TV news all throughout chemistry class and assumed the rest of the day would be like that. But then in English class the teacher wouldn't let us watch the TV, because English was more important than 9/11. gently caress your short almost-definitely-dead rear end Ms. Pacheco.

Remember when somebody made 'Jews Did 9/11' on YTMND and the History Channel used it in a program? For context, this was when History Channel still have a small amount of respect left.

It was a Tuesday because I was working a 12 hour shift in my dad's liqour store at the time. I heard about it in the afternoon and had to wait almost 9 hours to find out more.

Listening to people tell you where they were on 9/11 is right up there with listening to people tell you their dreams. Especially for people around my age because the story is always "I was in school and they put it on the tv".

The ice breaker question at my last work retreat was "tell us about where you were when a major world event happened" and 90% of people had to tell "their story" about 9/11 (mind you, I live in Nebraska, so nobody had a personal connection). It made me want to jump off a 100 story building.

I felt the same way - I was sleeping in NorCal after working a late night IT thing when the planes hit, when i first heard I thought it was an accident- but I clearly remember getting a work email from a customer telling me that they were closed the rest of the week because they were worried there was going to be a poison gas attack on San Francisco.

Also I worked with a guy who was a stock broker/trader on the Wall street floor when 9/11 happened, and its not my story to share but :stare: that made it real AF for me.

I vaguelly remember my mom crying in the car with me. my chud uncle(who is dead now) had worked in that area but hadnet that day.

I don't think my school even turned on the TV for us. My recollection is that they kept information tightly controlled (though we had an idea of what was happening and people were being called home early) until the end of the day. I was a senior in high school.

Lol my school was insane and already had us watching TV in time for the second plane to hit. Also the local station was especially bad about blurting out inaccurate poo poo they heard from a guy who heard from a guy.

Long story short I spent some time that morning thinking just about every conceivable thing in the US had a plane rammed into it.

There's a moment toward the end of this video in Regis and Kelly's live coverage where they're unclear if the aircraft that just hit was the 2nd or the 3rd.

The guy renting Dude, Where's My Car was living his best life while the wanna-be Dante Hicks writing this sounds insufferable.

That was pretty much par for the course with all media for most of the morning; I read the Timeline of September 11 on Wikipedia earlier and the mentions of stuff like CNN putting up a chyron that said "EXPLOSION ON CAPITOL HILL" and the AP publishing a "BOMB DETONATED AT STATE DEPARTMENT" report brought back some memories of just how frantic the rush of information was (and how primed we were for things to get worse.)

My dad flipped the gently caress out at the idea that I was going to the mall that afternoon to hang out with friends because I was like well, everything is hosed. I'm gonna seek out my one figment of normalcy; arcade day with friends. But he was convinced that Osama was gonna come run a plane into our lovely little mall in fucksville, the southeast.
