I was in mainland china.
When I first saw the live broadcast news in hotel room, I thought that it was a movie... (e.g. King Kong)
After a while, I found that it was real and suddenly, another plane crashed into the twins tower...
I was in Bellingham, sleeping. My mom called from Vancouver, woke me up and said the WTC had collapsed. I told her I was okay, and I went to work as usual. No one was working. Everyone stared at the video projector showing CNN. No one said a word.
I was on my way to Bellingham to work. My ex called me while I was driving towards the border and told me to turn around. Cos the border was closed. I went home turned on TV and use the antenna a friend gave me and got the 1 channel and watched news the whole day. I was unable to return to work for the next few days. Then ... super long line up for the next few weeks...
I still remember it clearly la.. I was in my Jap class @ 8am.. of coz didnt watch any news or hear any radio before going to school.. by the time i arrive to the classroom..no one talking abt it yet..until our teacher ask what had happen in USA this morning (in Japanese) i was fishing at that time..and heard one guy (white guy) said in Jap (coz jap class)..i only heard he said sth abt airplane, ny, exploded.. dun really know what he is speaking..coz his jap not that good.. i didnt take it seriously..as i thought he was talking abt a movie.. until our teacher explain it further.. and after class.. me and my frds go to the pub @ UBC Sub.. and many students gathered in front of the tv.. that was shocking!!
My radio alarm clock turned on at around 6:00am and I heard the news from radio and turned on the TV right away. It seemed watching Arnold's movie. I couldn't believe it. Few months later, my company out of business and I got laid off
I was in grade 6, second day of real classes. I remember it was a Tuesday too. At around 6:00am that morning, I woke cause my throat got itchy and started to hurt, so I got up and took a sip of water then went back to sleep. At 8:00am my dad woke me up to go to school, mentioning something about the attack but I wasn't really paying attention, and then I heard about it at school.
