First of all, it is very shocking to hear the stories from all the people who were in the US and worried about your loved ones, so let me offer to you some *hugs*.
I was at home, since school hadn't started yet. I think I was home alone (I remember the house being very quiet) and had slept in, then had gotten ready because my cousin would stop by to pick me up so we could go out.
When she arrived, she told me "turn the TV on, quickly!"
"Why, what happened?"
"You didn't hear??"
I turned the TV on and I was at a loss at what I was seeing.
Because of 9/11, my father and my grandfather soon got into a huge fight, because my grandfather, God bless him, is that sort of conspiracy theorist who thinks "the Americans" are to blame for everything that's wrong in the world and "they deserved it".
My father reacted badly to that. They still don't speak to each other.
