If you’re old enough, most of us remember where we were twenty years ago on Sept. 11 when two jets were taken hostage and flown into New York City’s Twin Towers. We asked some of our local readers for their memories of 9-11 and here’s what they shared.

I was starting my sophomore year at SWT/Texas State. My mom called my dorm and woke me to watch the news. I saw the plane hit the second tower live on TV and the breaking news when the Pentagon was hit. The reporters were in shock. I went about my normal morning and walked up hill to my first class to take a quiz. Everyone I passed was talking about New York or the towers, the chatter was so surreal. The power went out in our classroom shortly after we started our quiz. The professor kept us in class, likely concerned that the outage was somehow related. Thankfully it wasn’t. We finished our quiz and life hasn’t been quite the same since.
