If you watch the CNBC feed during 911 you saw the market took awhile before it plummeted for the day. Not sure why , the NYSE was right there,sell off should have started quickly after the second plane hit.
Hard to tell what the emotions of people would be,lots of factors.

The first two planes hit the WTC towers pre-market. The stock markets did not open on 9/11 so you were trapped until they re-opened on 9/17. From what I remember, trading on 9/17 started off fairly calm, so perhaps that is the day you recall.

That is why I refuse to trade with leverage overnight or pre market.

"The day I became a winning trader was the day it became boring. Daily losses no longer bother me and daily wins no longer excited me. Took years of pain and busting a few accounts before finally got my mind right. I survived the darkness within and now just chillax and let my black box do the work."
