So where were you - When you heard about wtc bombings?

[The Sleeper]

I was in sleeping in my dorm room (about a mile north of WTC) when it happened. I woke up to go take a piss, tired as all fuck, and my suitemates were watching the news and were like "hey, did you hear about the plane crashes". I didn't even say a word and went back to bed, not even comprehending what happened. I went back to sleep, and 2 hours later I was woken up by my roomate who told me both WTC towers were gone. I couldn't believe it. I also couldn't believe that I just dismissed it 2 hours earlier. Granted I was half asleep at the time but I still felt like an idiot. Several of the dorms at NYU were completely evacuated, so we had 4 or 5 people sleep over at our dorm that night. I spent the day walking around the city trying to comprehend what just happened. I visited several hospitals trying to donate blood, but they were all overly booked, which gave me some reassurance.
