Where were you on 9/11 ?

[Mike270412]

I was on my way home from Inuvik. Spent the night in my truck in the Ritz parking lot in Whitecourt. Got a phone call in the morning and turned my TV on.

Just headed to the store. Called the shop and said I wouldn’t be in today and watched coverage all day on the TV

watched on the tube live when the second plane crashed the tower

was kind of in disbelief (it was early morning)

Getting ready for school when my dad called and said turn on the tv, seemed surreal at that time what was happening, although I was only 12. Still want to go to NY one day and check out the museum.

Working downtown Edmonton in an office tower. Everyone stopped working and listened to the radio, crazy how a construction site went so quiet.

I watched CNN, ohhhh how times have changed! It was impressive how Canada & US worked together.

Yeah back when they reported on the news and then decided to become partisan

Working at Strathcona refinery. When some one turn on the radio a plane hit a building. We thought it was an incident at the downtown Edmonton Airport at 1st.
Was quite a shocker when we learned what had happened

Did you know a Ray Radcliffe when you were up there? He was a Millwright for Rival Engine and Compressor Services back then up there

Air traffic controller from Vancouver, not sure if he is on this forum or not. Very cool his story how all aircraft where landed where ever they were, Canada & US......... we did that together.

I was living in New Brunswick at the time. I was setting up a bunch of tents for a festival onnone of the main streets in Fredericton and saw the coverage of the first plane and then watched the second plane hit.

We then had to go from that job to one at Gagetown (massive military base). That was interesting. Almost didn't let us in. They were fully armed

I just left a job site in Leduc and heading to another in Edmonton, when The Bear announced that some idiot just flew into the World Trafe building. Then the 2nd jet hit and I pulled over across from the airport and wondered wtf is going on?

4 days later a bunch of us drive to Rexburg Idaho to play on the sand dunes. We crossed the border like nothing happened… and never saw so many flags at 1/2 mast in my life. It was very humbling

working at the Finning branch and a coworker said a plane hit one of the towers. Said other small planes in the past had hit the towers. Didn't believe him and within minutes we were in the conference room with the TV on.
