On Sept. 11, 2001, I was working part time for Harold’s clothing store in Norman, Oklahoma. My children were 5 and 3. I walked into work that morning and immediately, my boss told me that a plane had crashed into the World Trade Center. Normally, I turn on the news every morning when I wake up,... Read more »

Since Tris, my husband, is a pilot, and was a pilot during 9/11, the attacks truly impacted my family members’ lives. Thank goodness he was home on 9/11, but because the world of aviation is very small, we did not know if any of his friends were flying the planes used for the attacks. Fortunately,... Read more »

I was a sophomore in college and my teammate ran into my room that morning while I was getting ready for class and said a plane had hit the WTC in New York. She was always telling wild stories so I didn’t believe her but after class, I watched tv in the dorm lobby and watched the horrible events... Read more »

I remember walking to the office in the old CHS (currently CJHS) on the morning of 9/11. On my way back, one of my fellow teachers (Robin Callahan) told me that a plane had crashed into the world trade center. It seemed like an accident, but we turned on the TV to see what was going on. As we were watching,... Read more »

I was in the basement of the Foreign Language Building at Texas Tech for a 7 a.m. Spanish class. We took a break between classes and saw a TV news channel in Spain reporting something in Spanish and a picture of a building on fire. No one understood what was happening until around 10 a.m. when class... Read more »

I remember the first phone call that morning from my mom. I completely blew it off because I thought it was just a small plane that had crashed into the building accidentally. Of course it soon became obvious that I was wrong. I was the librarian at Tulia High School at the time even though we... Read more »

I was working at the Texas Veterinary Diagnostic Lab. I was 20 years old at the time and really didn’t think about that ever happening to the USA. When I first heard, I thought it was an accident. Then shortly afterwards we all gathered around the TV in the meeting room and sat and watched. Some... Read more »

I was exiting class in the Virgil Henson Activities Center at WT when the news of the Twin Towers was just beginning to be broadcast. People often say, “I can remember exactly where I was when…” What has struck me as odd these years since is not that I remember, but what I remember. I walked... Read more »
