9/11 Remembrance and Thoughts

[PyroChamber]

I was at home, I worked a long shift at the store the night before and I woke up at around 10am when I turned on the TV and there it was.

I'd just come home from San Francisco, attending a friend's wedding, the night before. I had the day off, so I slept in and started surfing the web while eating breakfast. I hit one of the message boards I frequented at the time and everyone was talking about it. I thought it was a joke at first until I went to CNN's website and then turned on the news just in time to see the second plane hit. I was stunned and in shock all day as I have friends in NYC and DC and was worried about them. Thankfully they all came through the ordeal alive.

I was in my Leadership Skills class Freshman year of high school when a teacher next door came in and told Coach Gray to turn on the tv and he did and we saw the WTC towers on fire, we watched it all period and we saw when the first tower fell. I couldnt believe what i was seeing and there was screaming in the halls as apparently a girl from another class had family in NYC. I went to lunch and then to my math class where my teacher refused to turn on the tv believeing some stupid algebra lesson was more important than this. It wasnt til I got home around 3 PM that I found out the second tower was gone too.

I was in my 5th grade classroom and everyone wished me a happy birthday. Then we got the news to turn the tv on. What a birthday.

I was at work.. heard a plane hit one of the towers... thought the plane grazed the building.... then I saw what happened on TV...

saw the second plane hit the second tower.... felt the smoke of the fallen towers as my friends and I went outside... we all headed home around mid afternoon. On the station in front of my house I always had a clear view of the towers every morning.. that day all there was was smoke.... smoke for the next week.

It's something I don't ever wanna see again... which is why I won't even consider watching these 9/11 movies.

it WAS your fault afterall

I was in Spanish class in middle school when we got the news. We were making bets later on how many attacks would be after it.

We were young, crazy and a bunch of a-holes

A lot of people have said that.

Damn that sucks.

I was at home, watching Shaft (the Sam Jackson/Christian Bale one). And when I shut it off, I turned it to NBC and saw the news. Woke up my parents. And basically felt horrible for the rest of the day.

 

[JLBats]

School. Our lovely principal and teachers didn't even inform us of what was going on, so I didn't find out until the bus ride home, and I mostly got lies and gossip. Some kid told me that they had blown the Statue of Liberty's head off.

 

[roach]

USS Constellation...we had just gotten off a six month deployment and was doing a Tiger Cruise from Hawaii to San Diego(Tiger Cruise is when friends and family take the one week trip from Hawaii to SD). I had woken up and was passing by the tv and my first thought was"what movie was this". After that we did best speed to SD......the events of that cruise were cleaned up and Disneyfied into made for TV movie on the Disney Channel called Tiger Cruise

 

[hippy fascist]

In my living room having a cup of tea. It is the only time I have ever done the spit your drink out after seeing something shocking thing. Freaked me out something rotten. Hads some freinds over in new york on a year out at the time. Scared the **** out of to be quite honest

 

[bunk]

It was like the third day of class of my first year at the Joe Kubert school. A kid from the next room down was freaking out because he was a reservist in Jersey and was positive he'd be sent to fight somewhere very soon. This was before the second plane hit and there was still speculation as to whether it was an accident. We all just went home and two of my roommates where getting pissed at one another in the car cus one was joking about it. We got back in time to see the second plane. It was very surreal watching all this happen on tv surrounded by 10 other guys I'd practically just met.

 

[Avangarde]

At home playing PS2, then my bro burst through the door saying "turn the TV over to the news, America is under attack" it was around 11:00 pm in Australia at the time, and I stayed up all night to watch it all happen live.

If there is only one movie you should watch--it's United 93.

Nothing else.

I've pretty much made up my mind not to watch any movies recounting that day.

It's something I can't explain but I don't need to be reminded of it not when I remember it everytime I head to work.

Faranheit 9-11 sucked major balls. I don't like bush but I like having both sides of a story told. Moore is just as much of a fascist, he just wants everybody to take his opinion as fact and F9-11 Proved that beyond a doubt

Read his book stupid white men, the first few pages I swear he actually says no black man ever did anything wrong ever. Whether your white, black, asian, etc. some people within your ethnic group will be bad, simple numbers game. Guy's a fat moron.

Um, he said United 93, not Farenheit

for a guy with Bill Hicks avatar you seem to have missed the point of farenheit.

You don't want to see how the minds of a terrorist work? They're scared, unconcerned, and just like us. Only rage fills them. They're lost, just like us.

What would you do if you in a situation like that? Would you have done differently? This film mentally prepares you for the next terrorist attacks.

 

[HellOnEarth]

Or you can live the rest of your days in denial.

Moving on back to topic....

I first heard the plane crashed somewhere in Pensylvania in the restroom. My nextdoor neighbor was yelling in the phone, apparently excited, and I could hear it through the window. Then I went to class, and found out what happened, in the correct sequence. I saw the 2nd plane hit on live tv.

I'm sure it's a good movie... but I just don't wanna see it right now.... maybe sometime in the future... and not 2 days before the 5 year anniversary.

I was in school watching the attack saying "oh god here we go"
