9/11 memories often leave us speechless and emotional. How did those who woke up post-noon react to the shocking news? A netizen asks,“How was waking up past noon on 9/11?” Here are top responses.
“I worked a graveyard shift the night before. Woke up at noon, went to work but it was closed. Unaware of the NYC events, I was shocked by images of people running from the towers.”
"My wife woke at 2 PM to calls from our adult kids and me. She called me before turning on the TV. I said, 'Turn on the TV and then call me back'. She was floored and spent the afternoon ringing the kids."
"Sick and drowsy, a loud bang woke me up. I thought it was street-paving noise, but later I learned it was the plane hitting the Pentagon, just a mile away."
"I worked from 5pm to 4am, playing video games until my wife woke up at 6am. She woke me up one day exclaiming 'Babe, we've been attacked. The Twin Towers are on the ground.'"
"The towers fell before noon. I was woken up by a frantic call from my sister: the US was under attack and the World Trade Center was gone. Despite the shock, classes continued that day, closely following the news."
"At 18, my mom woke me, crying about the World Trade Center attack. I underestimated the gravity, went back to sleep, only to wake at 2 PM to my family watching the crashes on loop & crying."
"I woke to my mom's cries of 'We're going to war.' I joined my family, all fixated on the TV, intuitively grasping the gravity, despite our confusion."
