Where was you 12 years ago today?
When the twin towers went down, i was in work in rogerstone on a mixer doing a mix for two brickies at the time who taught me my ways of not to get ripped off ever again somebody shouted up what had happend i remember looking at him and saying oh yea as if planes do shit like that for nothing so put my head down and carried on shoveling sand in the mixer. Got home to realise there was no other TV stations on anything other than this, total mayhem

RIP to all

Working in a furniture factory at that time. Reports coming through on the radio that planes being flew into the twin towers and then the pentagon. Unbelievable day.

RIP.

Was a kid at the time. Didn't know anything about it until my Dad came home from work about 6.30 and asked why I wasn't watching the news and then he told me what happened, even as a kid I was shocked and knew the gravity of what had happened.

studying for my a-levels dropped out of school and joined the navy

I was in Florida on my way to Busch Gardens.

I listened on the radio while driving there and when we arrived the place was closed. First time ever I believe.

On my way home from Silverstone. Did the driving experience day with boots.

Got home, turned on the tv and thought I was watching a movie.

Very sad day. And still none of the events really add up???

I thought it was a hoax to start with tbh untill i got home, like you said it was like watching a movie but on every single channel.

when the reports came in about the first plane I thought it was some kind of accident, as soon as the 2nd plane hit I looked at my mate and said were going to war.

Dont supprise me

Was in Junior School, although I was still very young you could feel the shock the teachers where in. They all called us into assembly and sent us home.

RIP to everyone that lost their lives on that terrible day.

working in a factory at the time,could'nt believe it when the news filtered through.That year went on a stag week-end to New York in March and we all went up to the top of one of the towers,unbelieveable.

Working in Didcot power station, thought my ex who phoned was being wound up by someone.

I was decorating my living room. My mate rang and said a plane or something has crashed in New York and I thought little of it until I turned the TV on at lunch time. I honestly thought it was an advert for a new Bruce Willis movie until I realized I was watching the news. Needless to say, the paintbrushes were not required for the rest of the day. Incredible to think its 12 years already. I have visited the Ground Zero site in Manhattan and it is an incredibly moving place despite the hoards of ghouls trying to sell videos and other "memorabilia"

Tower 2

The Falkland Islands

I had just finished work and had just sat down to watch Diagnosis Murder with Dick van Dyk and it got stopped for "Breaking News" I remember thinking this had better be big to interrupt the Dyk.

I was at Oakwood with my stepsons. Luckily the place was empty as the school term had started so a sat in my car and listened to TalkSport as they described the events as they happened.

Working in Panasonic in Pentwyn....

TV's everywhere couldnt really escape it.

The entire factory pretty much came to a stand still.

Its like the JFK assassination day.Everybody of my parents generation remembers where they were and what they were doing.I called in on my mum for a cuppa during work and stayed there all afternoon.

Was in swansea working sitting a ceiling in the uni, we didnt have a radio all day and some guy started telling us what had happend i had no idea what he was talking about untill we got in the van and turned the radio on. When we got home at 5 i seen what had happend, couldnt beleive it, i remember everything about that day.

I remember my dad had picked me up early from primary school as my mum had gone to hospital and he told me then that the world trade centre had been attacked..i was to young to really understand at that moment, but I do remember being in the Llandough hospital waiting room watching the second plane go into the 2nd tower live..thats when i knew how bad it was

at work watching tv by funny coincidence!

I was working the late shift as a cleaner in Pontypridd Tesco. The late edition of the Echo came into the store with flyers about a 'bomb in NY, thousands feared dead'. I remember watching the TV on my break in the canteen and seeing images of the first tower smouldering, not really realising what had happened. Then they showed the footage of the second tower being hit. I remember someone saying "that tower's going to fall". A couple of minutes later, it did...

I remember all radio stations broadcasting US news bulletins on the way home that night, and it was only from seeing the papers etc the next day, that it became clear what had happened.

Like someone said though, there's an awful lot about that day that still doesn't make sense. I'm not a conspiracy theorist but certain things about it don't add up...

I was on a lads holiday in Spain, probably my last lads holiday ever. Bloody great time I had too loads of nice birds out there but I stayed true to my mrs at the time who I later found out cheated on me loads! I remember thinking world war 3 was going to kick off and wondering how I was going to fly home.

On the back of a Hercules flying home from Las Vegas. We were kept up to date via the world service, truly horricic day....








(although the 3 weeks in Vegas was amazing, as usual)

In my Maths class in Rumney High School doing equations.

I was in religious education class, quite apt I think.
