This is how I found out too. I remember 9th grade had just begun and it was the first class of the morning. Replays of the planes hitting the towers were playing over and over when we walked into the classroom. I was living in Alaska at the time so it felt like a world away. It was all very surreal.
We learnt about it on the news, but actually am a world away.
Seemed like a movie villain without being able to fully grasp what's happening. Around that time terrorist events were happening around the world too.
I arrived in Hong Kong from the US on 9/11 (so 9/10 in the US). Turned on BBC in the evening... and didn't sleep for a few nights. Extremely weird way to start a year teaching in China.
I was in the U.S., but I was in my office and there were no TV at the office. My dad called and told me a plane had hit one of the WTC towers and I thought that was terrible, but I assumed he meant like a Cessna or something and didn't think that much more about it until he called and told me a plane had hit the second tower. It was my business and I only had one employee, so I closed for the day, told him to go home, and went over to my parents' house to watch the news with them while keeping my wife, who had to work, informed via text.
