I'm sitting in the room I was in when everything went down. It's the first time I've been here since that day (which was the first time I was ever in this room).
I had a training at this building when I was working.
The training was supposed to start at 8:30, it started a little late, but when the lecturer started he made a big ordeal about making everyone turn off their cell phones. Not just putting them on vibrate, but shutting them off because it was a sign of respect.
We had our first break at about 10:00, and before that time every once in a while someone would get up and leave, but because all the phones were off, you didn't think much of it.
After the break, I walked out to roam around since I was considering going to school here.
I saw a bunch of people huddled in the corner (like 20) and I figured it was a class or a lecture or something so I went over to see what it was.
I walked around the corner and the first thing I saw was a split screen with the Trade Centers and Pentagon ablaze.
It started the fall before I was even able to grasp what the hell was going on.
