9/11 opens in theaters on September 8 and features an all star cast including Luis Guzman(The Taking of Pelham 1,2,3), Gina Gershon (Showgirls), Wood Harris (Justified), Jacqueline Bisset (Dancing on the Edge (BBC), Welcome to New York), Olga Fonda (The Vampire Diaries) and Bruce Davison (X-Men).
In the World Trade Center, a billionaire sits in his attorney’s office awaiting a divorce hearing against his wife. In a west side apartment, a bike messenger kisses his 5-year old daughter and sings her “Happy Birthday” before leaving for work. A maintenance man gets dispatched to help a tenant with his lock. In an upper east side apartment, a young model musters the courage to break up with her sugar daddy. As random as random can be, these individuals step into a crowded World Trade Center elevator.Wrapped up in their own world, they all ride silently hearing only the sound of the elevator giving notice of each floor. When the elevator stops on the 34th floor, it empties leaving only these five behind. Moments later ... their world changes as the collision of a jet into the North Tower incapacitates the elevator.
With no understanding of what has happened and is happening around them, these fives are forced to band together and fight against all odds to escape from the impending horrific collapse. During these critical minutes, a story of courage, faith, and the will to live unfolds.

Do you remember where you were on that day?? I can still remember my exact location and what I was doing. We were sitting in class when news broke. The campus grew eerily quiet and then you would hear someone praying or someone crying. It is as fresh in my memory today as if it didn't happen 16 years ago.
I bet that some/most of you can recall where you were that day and what you were doing. #Remember911

I was working from home when I heard the news. I was speaking with a customer in New York when the line went dead. I later learned what had happened
I remember it vividly because it was so surreal. I was in junior high in English class and there was a group of teachers running around telling every instructor to turn their TVs on to the news. Some of the classrooms without TVs came into our classroom to watch together. I remember all the kids were mostly confused about what was going on, myself included. We watched as a plane flew into a tower, but didn't really understand the weight of what was happening in the moment or what our world might turn into today as a result of that day. All we saw was destruction without meaning, and adults who we considered our heroes breaking into tears for the first time before our eyes. Once the second plane hit, it was like watching my favorite teacher come down from the pedestal I put her on. It was the first time I saw her as kind of an equal, a fellow human, rather than an authority I respected. She had a son in New York at the time and he turned out to be safe, but I think that was the first time in my life where I truly saw devastating fear in someone's eyes.
I was near Yellowstone working and found out when I called my boyfriend to say hi. It was a big shock.
I was suppose to go on a day trip to Mount Rushmore and of course all the flights were cancelled.

When it happened I was at home and completely stunned.
I was at work when it happened and we watched it on the news.
I was at work when this tragedy happened...still remember the horror of watching the news that day
nearly 3000 people lost their lives :/ i am surprised that i never knew that number , i just know it was bad and i was fairly young when it happened.
i was at work and we watched it on the news.
What was a 9/11 fact (from the blog app) that you didn't know or share your story where you were on that day, when you heard the news.
Like many I have vivid memories of that day. I first heard about it as I pulled up to a pet store to get cat food before I headed to my office. Me and my employees listened on the radio for awhile and after the first tower fell we went to an employees apartment to watch on TV. We spent hours watching the TV coverage and discussing if we were now at war. Crazy sad day.
Hundreds of thousands were exposed to harmful toxins.

I was at work and we all just stopped working and watched the news all day and cried.
I was in 8th grade science class they announced it over the intercom.
My husband and I were watching the news when it happened
I was at home getting ready to go to work.
I learned that 20% of Americans knew someone who was hurt or killed on 9/11
I was in the lunch line my sophomore year. It was scary and something I will never forget.
I was in high school when it happened.
I did not know about the PTSD fact - I could only imagine
I was working from home. I had the television off and my mom called and told me to turn it on. My daughter was a year old, and my son was in elementary school. We live in Pennsylvania and when the plane crashed in PA, I was petrified.
I was in school taking the ISTEP test.
I was sleeping. I had just had my first baby.
I was getting ready for school that morning.
I remember waking up in the late afternoon after working overnight and the gas stations were closed, and I put M-TV and VH-1 on and they were news, so I knew it was really bad.
