Here Today... Gone To Hell!

A couple of minutes after 9:00am(1400UT), I was sitting outside an Office building in Louisville Ky off Newburg Rd. when I heard the news.  RIP

I was just getting to school and heard people in the halls talking about it. thought it was just a joke or something till I got to class and so it on the new.

RIP to all those souls lost in that tragic senseless attack.

In my apartment about 45 blocks away from it... I was 11...

i was at school getting lunch when i first heard it

I was in school.

I was just getting ready for school and was channel surfing in my living room...
when I saw what had happened.... I ended up sending sms all over the place. ended up skipping school that day, playing pool and watching the news in the bar.

 ? I remember standing off the runway at JFK taking some measurments and seeing a flame and smoke from the trade center area and then seeing the blast from the second plane. ?As we were just watching, we were then notified by the PA and FAA that the airport was closed and to leave. ?My phone rang and I was called to the city and told what had happened. ?I was in disbelief. ?I remember being very calm but also very angry, knowing that we were attacked and so many people were killed. ?I would later find out that I lost over 50 people that were friends or co-workers.

I will never forget and remember everyday. ?God Bless all thoughs lost that day and since as a result.

I was getting my hair cut when I heard....

I was at home sleeping.  I had taken a sick day from school about 2 hours before.

8th grade, on the way to school, smoked 3 joints at the park n' went into Art class. And was laughing 'cause the teacher was crying and I was high. Didn't care then, don't really care now.

I was at my first year of university when I was able to see the first TV images.

We were all shocked at the class, but I remember there were a lot of different versions about what had happened.

We spent all the class talking about this. We all were aware about the Twin Towers, but none of us knew about the Pentagon.

That was a really sad day for humanity. We, in Argentina, have had two very big terrorist atacks, both against jewish institutions. But we were until that moment unable to think about a terrorist attack with that insane number of deaths, because in these two terrorist attacks together in Argentina the number of deaths was around 120...not 3000!

God bless the souls of all the people who died in that terrorist attack. I do not agree with a lot of things that USA and its executive branch does all over the world, specially in middle east, but 9/11 was one of the most terrible moments in the history of humanity and I hope these kind of things never occur again. Never.

What the hell?

Dude - FUCK YOU.

relax - if ever someone was trying to be ''generation x'', then thats it

dont rise to the bait, he's obviously desperate for validation

He's being an ignorant cunt.

That's about it.

Alright. :) Let's see, it didn't affect me period, I'm sick of hearin' about it. To those who lost someone, sorry for your losses. As for me, I didn't lose anyone, know anyone who was there, and I don't feel that I should care all that much about something that didn't affect me at all. I'm just bein' honest. Sure, it was a tragedy but at the same time it was a wake up call to America that we're not untouchable like most think/thought.

I didn't personally know anyone that was lost either, but it doesn't stop me from praying for those that were lost or from being affected by it.

It's called showing compassion - maybe you've heard of it.

Put the fucking drugs down - that might be a start.

I'm off drugs, have been for about 4 months or so now. The only reason I was laughing at the teacher was 'cause I was high, I didn't know 'bout the attacks 'till I got home.

BH, its a little different for us that weren't even 13, let alone 10 at the time. We honestly weren't old enough to care, and even now it seems as irrelevant to every day life as the war in vietnam. Its all perspective dude, sure it was an important historical event, but it just doesn't affect us, especially after spending all my teenage years hearing about it.

I was 12 years old, at home from school eating cookies and playing guitar.

The repercussion effect you and everybody in American, even if you don't realize it.

On vacation in San Diego, caught one of the first flights allowed out.

The longest flight I ever took...everyone on board clapped when we landed.

Tough times.

Just got home from singin lesson. Turned on the tv and mins. after the news came.

Just finished screwing my neighbor and my mom left a voice mail to turn on the TV.....

ex girlfriend called my phone and woke me up - told me that a plane had crashed into the WTC.  Saw the 2nd one hit on live TV.

Just out of school working my first job.  What a terrible day.  Thank God we decided to attack and occupy a nation that had nothing to do with the attack!  Yay!  Hey, we had to do something, right?   :-[

We probable would have been better off though just sitting around watching porn and betting are meat .While drinking large amounts of whiskey.

So i was in class 5 grade i think it was and when the it all happend My teacher ran out of the room cus her sister or something like that was working next to the WTC and need to know if she was ok ( she was). sooo  like 5 min with no teacher a nother one comes in and put us in a cercle and tells us what happend. ever thow i was really young it was still scarry and shit. I allso rember it being a REALLY nice day out not a cloud in the sky!

as u can see i still wright like a 5 grader sorry  ;)


God Bless!


Peace

I was watching the 10.30 news here in Australia when the network went into Breaking News mode.

About 10 mins before the first plane hit, I was having a conversation with my mother over the phone about WW2. She was telling me the story of when the war broke out in Poland. My grandfather was in the middle of shaving his face when he could hear Stukkers so he ran outside to have a look - standing there with half his face shaven. She finished up saying that it is amazing how life changed forever on that day...........

Next thing you know, I'm ringing back saying......you better turn on the news........

grade 10 math class. they announced it over the PA

How can I argue with that logic?   :rofl:   

God bless those on that day.

I was at work, got a phone call after the 1st plane hit. Turned on the t.v. in the conference room and sat there the next 5 hours.

i remember that my Grandma got me up for school, i was only in 6th grade, and i remember it being on Good Morning America that a plane flew into the WTC and i didn't think anything else of it i thought it was some drunk ass pilot. But then when i got to school my teacher said that the first building fell then 20-30 minutes later the second one fell. Then the rest of the day went on like normal only the TV was on and thats it i think :headscratch:


Let us never forget


:peace:

I was in my freshman year of college and was heading to the ROTC building after an orthodontist appointment.  I remember my mom calling me on the way telling me the towers had been hit.  When she called back a little later to tell me the Pentagon had been hit, I was in total awe and shock.  I just remember being glued to the TV wondering if WW3 was about to happen.  I was able to goto NYC and DC a few months later to pay my respects. 

Howard Stern has an excellent show and reminder of the events that transpired that day on Howard On Demand.  I viewed that last night and it brought me to tears to relive all of it.  I can only imagine what those who saw it first hand and lost someone have been through.  May they all rest in peace.

I was working at the prison on base and one of my workers called me over to their dorm to show me the first plane hitting on the TV.  About a minute after watching, the second plane collided.  After that it was pretty much balls to the wall that day.  We had to close base (it was an open base at the time where anyone could drive on) and we had to man the gates and supervise the artillery kiddies as they searched every car entering base.  The wait for military personnel to get on was 3-4 hours.  I didn't even get off base to get back home until the next day. 

Yes Walter, I too listened in to Howard as I commuted from one job site to another around noon.  Howard didn't leave, he was amazing.  He stayed on through the hell and gave one hell of a show that day.  Nice reminder. Thanks.  :peace: 

I was 13, in the 8th grade, and I had just waken up to get ready to go to school.

It was about 7:00 in the morning when I turned on the TV. 

I woke up to see one tower burning, and wondering what had happened to the other tower.  I couldn't believe what I was seeing.  And then they switched over to cover the Pentagon.  I then knew it was an attack on the country.

I saw the second tower collapse just as I was about to leave for school.

Everyone was just numb that day.  Teacher, students, etc...

Came home and watched TV until it was time to go to sleep.  It was one of the worst days of my life. 

I still think about all the people who were affected and I pray for them.

I was in grade 4 at the time..just turned 9.. I remember walkin around outside in the play ground talkin about it with my friends but i didnt really understand it.my english teacher showed us a video about it today and it was sad man  :-\ :(

I was in school, and none of us actually believed the teachers until we all got pulled out by our parents and saw the news. When  my dad told me I actually thought it fell under it's own weight, I remember my exact words. At least I got to visit the towers before they fell.

1,200th post.

they didn't fall under their own weight, those were planted explosions!!!  DUUUUHH

 ::)

I live in NYC and never went to the top or to the restaurant there.  huge regret. 

I was 11 years old and in 4th grade. beautiful warm sunny day nothing unusual. When I got to school there were people talking about some plane crash in NY. Didn't really think anythink anything of it. Later during math class, my teacher brough in a tv and turned to CNN to watch the news, and you can see the planes hit the towers. During lunch time, alot of parents came to take their kids home (I stayed) and we weren't allowed out for recess. I came home from school, very confused about what happened. My mom sat me down and explained everything.

Let us never forget

Yes, someone else was telling me about the planted explosives in the building. It would have taken some time to set those explosives up.

You really are a retard.

You're one to talk.

How's all the Ron Paul research treating you?  Find an issue yet that you agree on other than the war (and Ron Paul doesn't agree with you) or are you still strugglin?  Maybe you should look into the person F'N Crazy has been touting.

What are you talking about?

Edit: If you are keeping score on my life, then you should note I laid tile from 4ish-8:30 or so.

Now I'm watching a movie about credit card debt Maxed Out (http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-4526802145951634879&q=maxed+out&total=6923&start=0&num=10&so=0&type=search&plindex=0), and the banking system in Amerika. I also just made myself some coffee. Soon the Missus will finish cooking us a late dinner (Cuban pork, mojo, black beans, it's really the best, you should try it) and I'll pause this movie to eat until I'm nice n full. Then we'll get our daily dose of liberal propaganda via Jon Stewart, and if everything goes right, I may get some action (sorry these pictures are for gold members only.)

If you would like you can join my online journal "www.IdonthavealifesoIfantasizewhatmyhomosexualcrushisdoingrightnow.com" There you will meet individuals just like you who are now able to see what I'm doing in real time, with whom and where. The first 3 months free, and only 59 dollars a year after that, charged discreetly to your credit card. As stated earlier Gold Members get pics of my wife and I in action, plus, if you act now I'll throw in this Bud Fox, Tin Foil Hat Linux, 100 percent breathable cotton tee for absolutely free!

Hurry!

This may have nothing to do with the terrorist attack itself, but I remember that I had really understood the real dimensions of the catastrophe when I came back from university and started zapping the TV.

When I saw ESPN (and cartoon channels also) covering the news and showing the images of the planes crushing the Twin Towers I really understood how big and how disastrous the thing was.

We, in southamerica, needed some time to understand all this thing. Not everyone here knew the Twin Towers, the World Trade Center and none of us had idea about Al Qaeda, Bin Laden and all that shit. And I think that that was the first time I saw real images of the pentagon.

Hey, that's not a real website!  :'(

was living in Australia at the time - and knew nothing about it until I was going to work the next day and saw a newspaper pic over someone's shoulder on the bus but I didnt catch the headline.  Still had no idea until I got into work (top floor of a fairly tall building) and everyone was talking about it.  It didnt really hit me until I got home that night and watched the news and actually saw what happened and the footage. I felt so sad and sick I had to leave the house/news/television/radio and go for a long walk by myself.

it was good to be able to pay some respects at the site when I was in NYC last month.

I don't know ??? I think I was at home or school, but I read about it on a forum where I used to chat back then. Didn't really realise it until my dad got home from work and put on the news.

I was at home off sick from work when I heard the news on the radio about the first plane hitting the tower. ?I switched on Sky News and spent most of the day watching the day's events unfold with my initial disbelief turning to shock and horror at the scale of the atrocity. ?I had a good friend living in New York at the time and was extremely relieved when I found out that he was okay.

As someone who'd spent most of my working life throughout the '80s and '90s commuting into London on a daily basis and had experienced the effects of the IRA's mainland bombing campaign, it brought back strongly the feelings of how vulnerable ordinary workers like myself were against people determined to carry out acts of violence like this. ?Every time my tube train would be held up somewhere in the tunnel deep under the London streets, it would be hard not to let your mind start thinking about what if there was a bomb further along the track or even just another security alert at the next station that'd mean I would be stuck in the tunnel for ages whilst it was investigated. ?It made me realise, yet again, how much I depended on those in authority to protect me as I went about my normal routine of just going to work.

In the days following the attack, I visited the US Embassy in London, signed the Book of Rememberance and laid a small bunch of red roses alongside the many other tributes left in the square outside. ?It was incredibly emotional reading all the messages of support and very touching to know that so many other people felt the same bond with our cousins on the other side of the water as I did. ?Although not particularly religious, I later attended the Service of Rememberance held in Westminster Abbey; a most poignant occasion which included Mica Paris singing and Jerry Hall giving a reading.

Regardless of the events that have followed, (warfighting and the other terrorist attacks, including the 7 July London bombings), I think that 11 Sept was a date that changed the world and that anyone who thinks that their life wasn't and won't continue to be affected, albeit indirectly, is sadly mistaken. ?And if you still don't believe me, just try taking an international flight and compare the security arrangements now to what they used to be.

It's hard to believe that anything positive could come out of such devastation but I watched a programme two days ago showing the work of the people who spent months searching the site and voids for bodies and body parts and those who worked tirelessly to match these with the missing people in order to give some kind of closure to the relatives and friends of the dead, and I have to say that the courage and dedication displayed by those working tirelessly to achieve this was tremendous and, to my mind, a ringing endorsement of all that is still good about the US and its people - despite the current media trend here in the UK to knock all things American.

(Sorry for rambling on but it's a topic that's close to my heart.)

I think he might be refering to my write in campain for Angela Davis; the only "peoples candidate":hihi:
