I was helping hubby drop off his car to get a new transmission, and I'd heard on the pop radio I was listening to that some prop plane had probably accidentally hit it. Hubby would SO not have cared about that but I remember sitting there for about five minutes wanting to go in to the storefront at AAMCO (transmission place) and tell him. Finally I gave in and locked the car up and walked over, right as the second plane hit and watched it live on the news television they had up. Spent the rest of the day watching it unfold.
I 'got to see' the whole thing as it happened, though (and this sounds really ungrateful, but...) because I live in Pennsylvania, I missed out on a lot of coverage of NY and DC, because they were showing footage of Shanksville.
The thing I found fascinating was, I'd been obsessed with Diablo II at the time, and was logged into the game chatting with people from around the world as we all watched the news, so I got to hear viewpoints from Australia and Germany and France and Brazil and so on. I can remember so clearly thinking that the towers would never collapse--right as one did.
I'm a 9/11... ugh, I don't want to say enthusiast, or junkie, but I have read and watched and researched a lot about it, because I'm interested in knowing.
