There were like 8-10 million people in nyc that day, and by noon everyone was sent home from work / school, and for a while the trains and buses werent running.
I dont think schools opened until friday, idk about work.
there were several days, including that day, that millions and millions of people just were standing around, looking at the smoke plumes, watching fighter jets overhead. There was also a massive loss of cell phone connection as the wtc tower covered much of manhattan.
the internet barely existed, so your choices were either to watch tv or stand around outside |

The shaved head chick (so 90s) is not in a relaxed posture. They were being totally normal but it was early internet days (pre-Meme even) and people were just learning how to get mad over bullshit.
You also have to remember that 9/11 was basically the best weather day in New York for the entire year. It was a perfect day to be in New York (weather-wise). |
