I was getting in some Ancient Croc farming before class when my roommate got a phone call and came unglued. Flipped on the TV and about 15 seconds later, the 2nd plane hit the tower.
I skipped class that day (college) and watched the news.

Edit: I re-read my post 12 hours later and realize it sounds flippant. I watched the 2nd plane hit, and both towers fall. It affected me so profoundly I enlisted 'delayed-entry' in the Army, finished that semester and spent 10 years on Active duty, including multiple tours to the middle east as a combat medic.
