Thanks for reminding the incident that was happened 6 years before, the worst day ever! its a remarkable day!

its a remarkable day!

Yes, i was young, only 7 years old so i can't remember that much of it. I've seen a documentary on tv yesterday and i was chocked again

i was upset....... when i heard the news on september 9/11 on TV,
On Tuesday morning, September 11, 2001, the U.S. is attacked by terrorists in New York City and Washington, and the world changes forever.

I remember it vividly. Living on the West Coast, I'm 3 hours later than New York time. So the attack had happened already by the time I woke up. The woman I was living with then checked her email and found a message from work telling people to go ahead and come in, that there was no local emergency, but it didn't say anything about why there might be one!

So I told her to go to Google news and that's when we discovered the attack. Then we turned on the TV, called relatives and friends, and were just in shock for a while.

I remember thinking I now understood how people must have felt after the Pearl Harbor attack, because I went really bellicose. 9/11 turned me briefly into a warmonger, and (even more briefly) into a Bush supporter. I wanted to kick some ass. It was amazing, too, how all the conflicts within the U.S. and between the U.S. and other countries got temporarily suspended and everyone pulled together. Of course, that good will was all to be squandered down the road.

It was one of those "never forget" kind of experiences.

So is mine. Those jerkoffs did their thing the day before my birthday.

Might be a family trend; my father's birthday was December 7.

I remeber when I saw it on the news.
I was shock and diden't belive what i just saw and tought it can't be for real. But sadly enough it was real...

yeah it was my senior year of college, when i woke up to get ready for class i turned the tv on, and they were talking about an accident where a plane hit the WTC. Then about 20 seconds later, I saw the 2nd plane hit live on TV.

It was really strange. A lot of people don't remember now, but it was really crazy for about 2 weeks afterwards too. With all of the Anthrax letters that were found in the mail, they canceled classes at my college for weeks because of some of the professors received letters that had a strange powder in them.

People were throwing away their mail for months, everyone got really paranoid. It wasn't pretty.

We hold a silent minute, the will of the class, becouse one of the class mates lost one that day. Sad days...

my history teacher lost an old military buddy at the pentagon.

i didnt witness any of the planes hitting live on tv, but i saw both buildings collapse live. true shocker. hard to talk about, even harder to forget.
