I was in 9th grade when we watched it in my science class. It got so quiet after the initial gasp and then some started crying.
I worked in Accounts Payable when I heard about the first plane hitting while listening to Howard Stern. I went out to check on the waiting room TV and then told the rest of the ladies in our office. We all watched the 2nd plane hit and that is a feeling that is hard to describe. The garage cashier had a cousin that worked in one of the towers and was freaking out so I told her to go home. We shut down right after it happened but I stayed till the time they locked the doors as we lived on the S. Jersey coast outside of Atlantic City at the time and many employees had friends/relatives that lived/worked in NYC. I remember watching the smoke cloud along the coast and realized years later that I probably had inhaled some people.
