i am

No i'm upstairs i watched the programme last night about the last phone calls i had a cry

I've seen the trade centre a couple of years after it happened it was very eary and so sad.

I still can't believe it in a way.

The shock and disbelief on peoples faces, we must have looked exactly the same as we watched it on the news.

it went down like it was made of paper

Hubby has got it on but I cant watch so have come on here.

Nope, seen it enough already.

That was shocking, you forget that people did get out of there alive if seriously injured, some of those people looked in a really bad way

not watching it what channel it on?

i remember the day it happened, as i was in london and everyone thought london would be next. was the day i found out i was pregnant with my eldest too so it proper scared and shocked me

i was in a pub at st poancreas station, was packed and crowded around the TV

Was watching it a while ago. I find it too upsetting to watch the whole thing.

I'm sure I've seen this before but watching with hubby who's not seen it. Every time I see the towers falling and the vast amount of dust that envelopes the people, buildings and streets it always looks like the end of the world. In some ways it was the end of the world as we knew it as so much changed after 9/11

A couple of the operators are unbelievably rude, especially with hindsight.

Channel 4, maybe it's repeated somewhere if you really want to watch it

I'm recording it - too emotional at the moment

I'm watching it on +1

I'm speechless - but can't turn away

All those poor people

all that *dust* is peoples ashes

i'm watching on +1. cried a few times. i remember watching the news just after the first towers was hit and seeing the other plane hit...then we knew it was terrorists. those poor people jumping...my god

It was hard to believe that operator hung up on that man so abruptly.

I was at work...everyone who could was sat in our coffee room, watching the TV in silence...

When i started watching it a woman came to my door doing a shopping survey. i opened the door to her but couldn't tear my eyes off the telly. I said "have you seen this" and she said "no" so i said to her to come in and we sat and watched it open mouthed for ages before she left. Quite bizarre really.

I was working for local press at the time and I just remember the whole world just seemed to stop.
There were rumours that there were hijacked planes heading for Heathrow and I remember ringing my mum in a panic telling her to get my son out of school and get the hell away from the area.

It's one thing hearing about terrorist attacks but it's another watching it live and direct. The saddest part for me was watching the second tower fall (North I think, the one with the spike). Just seeing the spike disappear into the smoke and knowing that everything and everyone had gone.

it was utterly shocking watching it. i wouldn't have liked to be in london. I was terrified, i just kept thinking, thats it theres going to be a war.

I still don't understand why the towers fell : The second one maybe because it was hit in the middle, but the first one, I just don't get at all.

I remember it so clearly, watching those pictures and I still feel sick as the second plane goes into the second tower, you think no it's not going to happen, but it does.

I can remember trying to cook some tea that afternoon, my husband watching the footage on Sky News, I was listening to Talksport who had suspended all regular broadcasting and the grief and fear in their voices was eerie

I remember the rumours about a plane had been hijacked that was heading to Heathrow and also a local rumour that a hijacked plane was also heading for Birmingham International Airport to knock out communcations in the middle of the country, they would have only had to hit one of the motorways and it could so easily have happened.

I felt a sense of fear, that nothing could ever be the same again, that, the world was changing and although it is a really overused phrase, history was being made that day.

RIP to all that lost their lives that day, may you have found some peace

I couldn't have put it better myself

Remember hearing about the first hit on the radio, switched on the TV and thought it was a very bad accident............... until I watched the second plane hit.................
Then knew it was terrorism........

am watching it now

That's pretty much how I knew about it; heard the radio and immediately turned on the tv.
And you're right - the eerie sight of that 2nd plane hitting the tower is something I will never forget...probably because it was 'live'

Watching the programme last night (some of the clips have been shown before I think as they seem familiar...?)....I can't say time has eased the horror or distress of this awful murder.

I remember that day very clearly too. Soooooooooo shocking.

The towers collapsing is an image I'll never ever forget - the thing is we see it all very muted and therefore dont't get the full sound. Can't imagine the noise it must have made .......it must have been collossal!

I've seen it before, it was on last year, i did cry again

Could anyone tell me when it is on again, my OH didn't want to watch it so we didn't but I would like to now.

I was at the top of the South Tower 5 years previously to the 9/11 in the restaurant.I hated it I had overpowering feelings of the building collapsing,but not of a plane striking it,just of it collapsing.I was so relieved to get back on the street again.

you can watch it on 4OD


i watched this late late night/this morning and, have to say i dind't pay as much attention back then as i should (i think the amount of media coverage dumbed it down tbh). last night, seeing it as it happened was horrifying! especially a bit where you're looking at the firemen looking at people jumping/falling. you can hear a woman scream then a bang
