>Maybe this is the modern day "Where were you when Kennedy was shot?" Where were you when you first heard about the attacks, and what happened in your life in the days afterward?

I was not born yet when Kennedy was shot.

I was at a client, installing some hard and software when I heard that an airplane flew into one of the twin towers. One of my colleages and a few friends were just a few blocks away in a conference center. They have experienced the total confusion and disbelieve. They had a very rough time the few days after as they could not fly back home to Canada and had to rent and share a car to get back home safely.
