I woke a little after the first plane hit, from spending the night caring for my mother, at her house. She didn’t require 24 hour care (yet) but I usually was there, over night.

No radios or TVs were on. After getting her squared away, I drove the 2-3 blocks to my house, with the car radio on. Where I heard of a plane hitting the WTC. I thought of the B-25 that had hit the Empire State Building, the year I was born. Turned the TV on, at home, a little before 0900, and watched the horror show.
 
Walking past radiology at work. I saw several staff standing there watching the TV. I looked just as the second slammed into the other tower. Long day with many plans for aid, none of which were needed.
 
In school. We were walking back from lunch when the teacher stopped and stated watching a TV. We were told what happened a bit later, and I saw footage after getting home.

I do remember a lot of children were picked up early that day. My parents explained that they weren’t concerned, so my brother and I had to wait.
