As a deaf/hh person, where were you when 9/11 happened?

Where were you when 9/11 happened? I remember exactly where I was that day when I received the news that one of the towers collapsed did I realize the enormity of this tragic event unfolding. About two hours earlier as I drove my way to a fishery dam that I was supervising which was going to be breached and deconstructed in order to restore channel flow, in my vehicle I briefly heard on my radio that a plane flew into one of the New York city's building. I immediately had the impression that it was a small commuter airplane that erroneously and tragically flew into a building just like the one time in 1945 a plane flew into the Empire State Building. Two hours later while I was supervising the deconstruction a fellow worker came down and told me the bad news. After that I dreaded going home and see it all on television after I listened to the radio during my two hour drive back home listening to the heart-breaking story.

Most Americans problably remember exactly where they were when the first heard or saw the tragic event. As a deaf or hard of hearing person, tell us where you were on that tragic day exactly 9 years ago on 9/11. Do you remember it vividly?
