I'm kinda the odd duck here. I heard about the first plane on my way to Willmar MN on the radio. Right after I got to Willmar I saw the 2nd one hit on TV. Most of the people around me were in shock, some were crying. I'm standing there talking about terrorism, cause and effect and the different types of terrorist.
In 1985 terrorist set off a car bomb in the BX parking lot at Rein Main Air Base in Germany. 3 days later I picked up my wife and kids at the air base. Terrorist activity in Europe was pretty high at the time. The threat was so high that the Army put out that we could grow our hair slightly longer than regs normally allowed so as to allow us to blend in with the civilian population. That day I went and got a high and tight flat top. I wasn't going to cave in.
My actual reaction to 9/11 was pure evil anger. I wanted someone to pay for it in blood.
Looking back I would have loved to have seen the look on Bin Laden's face as he was fleeing Afghanistan and when he realized that his action caused us to invade not one but 2 countries. I don't think he really thought we would react like that.

At this age, I believed tractor farming was the only way, hot stuff -- and given a chance I probably would have used the tractor, Dad's first, a 1936 Model "A" John Deere, to go bring in the cows!
