      And you can do the math anyway. Here in Sydney it is 14 hours ahead of Manhattan (give or take an hour for daylight savings time) so if the attacks happened at the 8/9am mark then it would've been 10/11 pm here.

    I've been to the Ground Zero museum (April of 2011, very close to ten years later), where you can hear employee phone calls, 911 calls, emergency personnel radio communication, read letters, see timeline/breakdowns of the day, watch victim and family interviews, all that stuff. It's indescribable. I got lost in time. I lost track of time. People were looking for me for 20 minutes. I was so overwhelmed with emotion. You really get a sense of what it might have been like to experience what was happening that day, but with the knowledge that we've gained since then. We went to the church that miraculously survived the towers collapsing without any damage (I think it's called St. Paul's, sometimes referred to as "The Little Church That Stood"), where they still store gifts and tokens and show the aftermath. I broke down and bawled at the paper chains that were created by (I believe) students in Japan as a sign of unity. It is truly beyond words how there are people out there you don't even know who will do whatever they can to show support when faced with such tragedy.

      At that time I used to load the kids for school and listen to the local NBC tv station on the car radio. I was listening to this broadcast.
      By the time the second plane hit I was back in my driveway and ran inside to see it on TV.
      Hours later President Bush flew over my house escorted by 4 fighter jets into Barksdale Air Force Base. At that time nobody knew where the president was headed...it was secret because there were still planes unaccounted for.

I'm from PA- not sure what it felt like watching from across the country, but here it felt like we were under siege. One of the saddest most surreal days that's still hard to wrap my head around.

Getting back home, I saw people jumping out of buildings, it shocked me. Never forget as it went down. After that seeing the rain fall as what was left next morning.

      Leana Jo I had only been out a short while myself (Fort Jackson). I was in a small apartment with friends watching as the second plane hit. We were about a mile away from the Birmingham airport and could see and hear dozens of police vehicles heading in that direction. At this point we still didn’t know what was going on but we knew it was bad, real bad. We stayed glued to that tiny television for hours until we finally loaded up and went to the Red Cross where we were the last group to donate blood that night. I remember it like it was today. The restrooms had toilet seat protectors (it wasn’t common back then) and Domino’s Pizza had brought hundreds of free medium pizza certificates to hand out to people giving blood. We ate pizza for a week and stayed glued to the tv watching the events unfold that forever changed our country. I’ll never forget how I felt that day.

      Hello Justin. This is Richard Hack. After the segment was over, I went into journalist mode and went with the news crew down to the Twin Towers, and witnessed United flight 175 making a direct hit into the South Tower. We were about two blocks away at the time. My most vivid recollection from that day was standing directly in front of South Tower with the NBC News team led by correspondent Pat Dawson when the building collapsed. We were able to keep transmitting for several more minutes before being moved further from what was left of the building. That moment forever changed the world, and me along with it. FYI: The book, "Hughes," was what is known as an embargoed book, meaning it could not be sold in book stores before the morning of 9/11. Because of the attack, the subsequent 30-day book tour that would have taken me to 32 cities across the country, was cancelled. I remained in an enormous suite at the St. Regis Hotel with my neighbour Elizabeth Taylor--both of us held captive by the city's shutdown which continued for three more days. (Elizabeth was in town to introduce Michael Jackson for his two concerts at Madison Square Garden.) The book eventually was released and the press tour completed six weeks later than expected, The book remained on the NYT bestseller list for eight weeks, and is currently in its 10th printing. The feature film rights were optioned and "Hughes" was used as the source material for "The Aviator" starring Leonardo DiCaprio.and was nominated for 11 Oscars, winning five. Ironically, DiCaprio also starred in the film "J. Edgar" based on my bestseller, "PuppetMaster: The Secret Life of J. Edgar Hoover,

    I remember that day, I was only in my first or second week of elementary school and I think my mum called me in front of our TV. She said "Something happened" in very disturbed and shocked voice. Scene that I saw that moment - Manhattan covered in 1000 tons of smoke and debris will forever be burned in my memory.

    I was two years old when it happened, so I don't remember it very well. But I did go to the 9/11 museum last year while on vacation in New York and it made me really sad

    I remembered this day very well. I was working afternoon shift at Delphi Packard and was running some morning chores with my (then) 1 and a half year old son from Walmart. The radio station was interrupted about a second plane hitting the World Trade Center. I was wondering what was going on and rushed home to turn on the TV and was shocked to see what was on TV. I couldn’t get ahold of ANYONE when all of this was going on. I felt like the world was coming to an end and I was the only one watching it.

    I was there, I worked in the building just one block north of it. The one that looks white and looks like stairs. I'll never forget that day! The first plane flew directly over our building.

    I remember just starting 6th grade. Absolute silence at school here in California. Then I remembered my uncle (Godfather) was on his way home from a business trip in China. I had a panic attack on campus thinking that was his plane I came home to see my uncle was alive and well unpacking. I never wanted to let him go after.

    My friends dad was supposed to be on one of the planes but ended up missing it by about 10 minutes. He got on the next flight but the plane couldn't land for a long while and he hadn't told his family that he missed the plane so for 2 days they thought he was dead.

    All while this was happening, I was across the river in seventh grade being told what happened during 2nd period class. Meanwhile my mom who worked in East Rutherford at the time was watching it all unfold with her co-workers and e-mailing my dad as to what to do in case of a emergency evacuation.
