It was around 11pm in Australia, I was going to go to bed, but decided to watch the late news instead...I was watching at this time, when the first plane had hit...and watched live as the second tower was hit. A night I shall never forget.

And my Sister had to come back from her job on an Airforce base to get her Id as the Military Bases went into Code Red..later that same day I walked my neice to kindy and a plane flew overhead.. I bloody panicked..So yeah Day time here

[@jamesdavis5517]

Leah Henshall; perhaps you leant about it when you got up... Definitely evening in Melbourne, I had just closed my restaurant for the night when the bakery delivery guy said ‘go and switch on the telly’, I did and that was just in time to see the second plane hit.

[@doublea6586]

Leah Henshall no, it was definitely night time. I remember waiting to watch Sports Tonight on channel ten and this came on. And you can do the math anyway. Here in Sydney it is 14 hours ahead of Manhattan (give or take an hour for daylight savings time) so if the attacks happened at the 8/9am mark then it would've been 10/11 pm here.

[@bearitraeb]

Leah Henshall if it was 9am in NYC then it was 11pm in Melbourne. Everyday then and everyday now.

[@paulwalker9014]

11pm in Melbourne..went to bed early for a change because only thing on TV was The West Wing....woke up, turned on news... thought it was a replay of 1990s attack...then read the Herald Sun headlines at work that Wednesday morning...10 hours after the event....remember it clearly.

[@everlasting9292]

I've been to the Ground Zero museum (April of 2011, very close to ten years later), where you can hear employee phone calls, 911 calls, emergency personnel radio communication, read letters, see timeline/breakdowns of the day, watch victim and family interviews, all that stuff. It's indescribable. I got lost in time. I lost track of time. People were looking for me for 20 minutes. I was so overwhelmed with emotion. You really get a sense of what it might have been like to experience what was happening that day, but with the knowledge that we've gained since then. We went to the church that miraculously survived the towers collapsing without any damage (I think it's called St. Paul's, sometimes referred to as "The Little Church That Stood"), where they still store gifts and tokens and show the aftermath. I broke down and bawled at the paper chains that were created by (I believe) students in Japan as a sign of unity. It is truly beyond words how there are people out there you don't even know who will do whatever they can to show support when faced with such tragedy.

By the time the second plane hit I was back in my driveway and ran inside to see it on TV. Hours later President Bush flew over my house escorted by 4 fighter jets into Barksdale Air Force Base.

At this point we still didn’t know what was going on but we knew it was bad, real bad. We stayed glued to that tiny television for hours until we finally loaded up and went to the Red Cross where we were the last group to donate blood that night. I remember it like it was today. The restrooms had toilet seat protectors (it wasn’t common back then) and Domino’s Pizza had brought hundreds of free medium pizza certificates to hand out to people giving blood.

well they had to set up the cameras first which takes time. so the only logical thing to do on broadcast is commercial break!

[@stephenhuntsucker2790]

Every time I watch this I hope Matt will conclude the interview normally and go to commercial without anything happening but it never does.

Hughes was America's first Billionaire? Nope sorry Hack, it was John D. Rockefeller. Interesting fact: The today show is taped at 30 Rockefeller Center, a building named after the guy who was America's first billionaire. #HistoricalIrony

I've always wondered what Richard Hack thought about all of this. Did he leave the studio after the news break?

[@RICHARD-mr8zh]

Hello Justin. This is Richard Hack. After the segment was over, I went into journalist mode and went with the news crew down to the Twin Towers, and witnessed United flight 175 making a direct hit into the South Tower. We were about two blocks away at the time. My most vivid recollection from that day was standing directly in front of South Tower with the NBC News team led by correspondent Pat Dawson when the building collapsed. We were able to keep transmitting for several more minutes before being moved further from what was left of the building. That moment forever changed the world, and me along with it. FYI: The book, "Hughes," was what is known as an embargoed book, meaning it could not be sold in book stores before the morning of 9/11. Because of the attack, the subsequent 30-day book tour that would have taken me to 32 cities across the country, was cancelled. I remained in an enormous suite at the St. Regis Hotel with my neighbour Elizabeth Taylor--both of us held captive by the city's shutdown which continued for three more days. (Elizabeth was in town to introduce Michael Jackson for his two concerts at Madison Square Garden.) The book eventually was released and the press tour completed six weeks later than expected, The book remained on the NYT bestseller list for eight weeks, and is currently in its 10th printing. The feature film rights were optioned and "Hughes" was used as the source material for "The Aviator" starring Leonardo DiCaprio.and was nominated for 11 Oscars, winning five. Ironically, DiCaprio also starred in the film "J. Edgar" based on my bestseller, "PuppetMaster: The Secret Life of J. Edgar Hoover,

[@nugsandslugs4177]

I was in elementary school the day this happened and was way too young to comprehend just how big this event was.

[@Lionesskeeper]

I visited a few years after 9/11. It was just a building site, but the chills that went up my spine peering through the fence there. Also was there on 9/11, my abiding memory is of the silence on a usually bustling street and a woman sitting on a bench crying near Grand Central Station and seeing the beams of light from the site illuminate Manhattan as we waited to take off to go back home.Flying on 9/11 scared the hell out of me. I was so nervous.

[@trulychloe]

My mom heard about it right after she dropped me off at school and never told me about it

[@helema23]

i was going from home room to american gov and heard my american gov teacher yell out a string of cuss words right before i entered the class. on the tv was the first plane crash that had happened moments before and he ran around telling all the other teachers to turn on the news... right before he got back into the classroom the second plane hit and for the rest of the day no one did any school work we just watched the news while several students freaked out because they had family that was suposed to be on one of the planes or at the trade center. a friend of mines aunt was supposed to be on the first flight but sh ewas delayed so she didnt get on that plane where as a boy had a cousin that went there for their first day of work and died.

[@stateofmindz]

trulychloe we heard an announcement on the p.a and we were sent home after that. As soon as I got home my grandmother was watching the t.v

[@DigiDestined13]

Our teachers tried to keep us in the dark, but rumors were flying around about the Pentagon being on fire and they announced that no seniors were allowed to leave the building for lunch because of what was happening at the World Trade Center, so we knew something was going down. My mom had been on the phone with the school and they told her everything was okay. It was just sheer dumb luck that I got sick midway through the day and gave her the excuse she was looking for to come pick me up early.

[@infinitesprings]

I heard about it at school. I'm kind of glad they didn't keep us in the dark about it. Of course it was a high school so yeah, they probably wouldn't. I guess it was different with the younger kids. But I'm glad I got to process it as it was happening, instead of going about like things were the same as always when they weren't. I imagine it would kind of feel like you were living a lie for however long you were in the dark. But then, your a little kid so even if you are told about it immediately, you might not understand it. Was that what it was like for the younger kids? Did you all understand what was going on when you found out? Even as a young teenager, I still had a little trouble comprehending it at first. It didn't feel real in the beginning. Maybe I was in shock.

[@stateofmindz]

Candace Garrett didn't know didley, and I'm sure I speak for most kids who experienced the event,all I could remember that something horribly big happened in New York, and a feeling of fear because I lived in a apartment building at the time and even as a kid I would have thoughts in the back of my head "what if" type of ordeal where it could happen at any moment. I also remember seeing a tribute piece to the fire fighters who served on tv later that day.

I feel like 9/11 impacted everyone in the Northeast in some kind of way. My mom, aunt, and grandma all remember seeing Flight 93 fly over our town before crashing in Somerset. Not only that, but my dad was supposed to be flying into New Jersey that morning, thank god the flight was delayed. 10 years later, my dad was working as a fire fighter and got to meet the last man out of the WTC. It’s crazy that people across the country learn about what happened, whereas we all lived through it, or were affected by it.

The radio station was interrupted about a second plane hitting the World Trade Center. I was wondering what was going on and rushed home to turn on the TV and was shocked to see what was on TV. I couldn’t get ahold of ANYONE when all of this was going on. I felt like the world was coming to an end and I was the only one watching it.
