I had slept in that day, my wife was at work. I woke up 1/2 hour after the last tower fell. We were living in central Va at the time. The factory she was working at immediately shut down and the let everybody go home. It was a shock to everyone, even though I only saw the recorded video after the fact.
I'd say thought the most chilling thing I did see in person was weeks later, ran into a woman from NYC who did witness it first hand and the fear on her face while describing it. The other thing that happened was running into a Muslim woman and she was by herself and when I approached her I saw the fear in her eyes, she thought I was going to attack her, but I simply told her not everyone in America will blame all Muslims for what those attackers did.
