Where Were You That Fateful Day?

Where were you on this day ten years ago when the worst terrorist attack in history unfolded? What can you remember about it? How did it make you feel?
I remember I was in school, the day was pretty much carrying on as normal, I was in my technology period (the class where you make things like bottle rockets, rubberband cars, etc), and then the class were herded up, and we were taken into the bandroom, as it was the largest classroom in the school, and there were other classes that were brought in as well, and we were watching a big screen TV.
I remember seeing a news anchor in the middle of the screen, and behind him looked like just half sky and half fog or smoke, we didn't know what was going on, then after a little while, we saw the footage of the last tower collapsing: I was fairly familiar with the New York skyline, so I recognized the twin towers had collapsed, and that's when we learned that planes had crashed into TWC, and that we were under terrorist attack.
I was pretty much freaked out, because we also knew that the Pentagon was hit as well, and the crash in Pennsylvania, we didn't know how big this thing was, so we didn't know if we were all going to die or what; we were all pretty much rather nervous.
The only good thing is that the entire plot wasn't carried out according to Bin Laden's plans, considering he was also planning on destroying towers in L.A., Seattle, Chicago, and other cities.
At least public enemy no 1 was finally taken down a few months ago, which makes the anniversary this year a bittersweet one.
