I was working in the Receiving dept at Tellabs in Bolingbrook ,Ill
It was shortly before 8 AM when a guy from the maintenance dept said
"Did ya here what just happened"
He had a radio on in the maint shop and heard the news break.
He quickly started walking around the factory to spread the word because none of us had radios in the building.
Then others that worked in offices were arriving and had heard the news in their cars while driving in to work.
By 9 AM I believe that production had come to a halt and people started gathering in groups and looking for radios to hear for themselves.
Back at home I had set up a VCR to record a program on FOX that morning and actually the VCR was only supposed to record one hour on the "ep"
setting but actually recorded all 6 hours on the tape.
It recorded from 9am to 3pm and captured all the coverage of that day for 6 hours.
I have since copied it to a DVD and oddly will keep it for the rest of my life.
As Stogey said in the title of this post "We will always remember"
PS.
I just added the where were you to this thread because I have never asked anyone this question that could not answer it with no hesitation in thought.
Proud to be an american and live in the USA and will never forget.
