I didn't know about the 9/11 attacks until about noon that day (west coast, so really old news). I had moved recently from Boston and didn't have the cable or internet hooked up yet. My husband had to work at 2 PM so we were having a leisurely morning, unpacking stuff and getting used to our new apartment.

My brother called me and asked "Have you been watching the news!" I'm like "No, what's up?" He says, "I don't even know where to start. You are literally not going to believe me." I didn't even see any of the footage until late the next day. It still doesn't seem quite real to me. I flew out of Boston a week or so earlier on one of the flights that went down.
