The 10th Anniversary of 9/11 is Sunday: Where Were you When the Attacks Happened?

As the nation on Sunday remembers the decade since the 9/11 attacks occurred, Sammamish Patch spent part of Thursday asking residents and community members a simple question: Where were you when you heard the news?

There is no doubt, of course, that the terrorist attacks marked a turning point in modern American history. On the Plateau, on Thursday, Sammamish Patch came across a resident, teacher and a firefighter who talked about their experiences.

Sammamish Patch also would like to open up the conversation to everyone - just to see where people were, what they recall and what they did after watching TV news pictures, listening to the radio, checking websites or getting a phone call from a loved one.

Schools and public buildings went on high security. Airlines landed planes. Emergency workers rushed to Lower Manhattan to help. Those in the military knew they had to prepare.

So: Where were you on 9/11? What do you remember? What did you do?
