Al Bundy Posted September 11, 2023 Share Posted September 11, 2023 Was in a launderette in Forest Hill, London. My American roommate called me to say planes had crashed into the WTC. Rushed home and was glued to the t.v for 48 hrs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeatOwl95 Posted September 11, 2023 Share Posted September 11, 2023 I don't really remember as at the time I was only 5 and 9 months but I would have been in school, having just started second year of infants (Year 1). My dad tells me he was in Argos on Angel Street and my mum was at work. The date only became vivid for me two years later when my brother was born, and for the first few years my memories of his birthdays are just TV channels playing documentaries and relocations of 9/11.

Prettytom Posted September 11, 2023 Share Posted September 11, 2023 I was at work. With 1000 kids and 100 or so, adults. The first that I knew of it was when I stopped to buy The Star on my way home, to see whether Wednesday had signed anyone. The lady in the news agent just kept repeating “it’s terrible love, terrible”. It is amazing to think that I had no clue what had happened, despite being surrounded by so many people. That could never happen now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spilldig Posted September 12, 2023 Share Posted September 12, 2023 (edited) In bed but 1 week before I was up the Twin Towers although I would have missed the attack anyway because tourists were not let in until after the office workers went in at 10 o'clock.
