Ten Years Since 9/11: Where Were You That Day?

Every major event in the history of the United States seems to come with with the same question: Where were you when (enter event here) happened?

It seems to be most prevalent in recent history and possibly more often with events centered in pop culture. Where were you when John Lennon was shot? Where were you when the Berlin wall came down? Where were you during the Oklahoma City bombing?

It's water cooler conversation, but it's also part of the very fabric of our culture. Where we were that day, and what we were doing, is what brings us together. It's a common thread among people with differences. No matter who we are or where we came from, we can all answer the same question: Where were you when...?

On Sept. 11, 2001, 2,996 people died when the World Trade Center in New York City was brought down by terrorists. Where were you that day? What do you recall about one of the most awful days in U.S. history? Leave your stories and comments in the comments section below this article.
