Woke up to my step-mom telling me to turn on the TV because a plane had crashed into the towers. Turned it on and within minutes the 2nd plane hit, and it just all seemed so unreal. At school all we did all day was watch the news.

Mi Beardo es Loco

you guys, 20 years from now people are going to see it as a tragic event but probably on the same level as we see Pearl Harbor. In reality, this event changed the US for the worst! Look how many places closed down because of the fear. Look how our government shut down for a week after this. This is what the terrorist wanted to happen. Not only that but we're on the brink of disaster in this country because of overreaction by our "President" and invading, not liberating, a country that had nothing to do with this. Because of this tragic event the US dominos fell. The end might be in sight in the near future but it's up to us to remind our kids that this terrorist attack didn't only last a day, it lasted 10 years for the country and eternity for the people who lost loved ones.

i woke up, turned on ch 11 just to see what jillian barberie was wearing that morning but instead of her cleave, they were showing videio of the 1st tower after it had already been hit. i rubbed the sleep out of my eyes and as my vision was getting clearer, the 2nd plane hit on live tv. then news of the pentagon, and that other plane that crashed in an empty field.

i rushed to work only to find my coworkers huddled around the conference room's tv. but we only had antennas and the only channel with reception was the spanish channel. we watched people jumping off the building and hurtling to their deaths on live tv at work.

also, i worked on the 5th floor of my office bldg and i sat at the window with a view of the air force base runway in los alamitos. i watched jets and apache helicopters fly in and out of that base all day from my desk. it was pretty scary because they seemed to be flying really close to our bldg, esp the helicopters. one flew so close you could see the pilots' faces.

my prayers go out today for those that lost their lives as well as their families. we will never forget.

I woke up to go to work. Went down stairs (lived in a duplex, and my cousin and his fam lived downstairs. Him and I worked together) to get my cousin Harold to go to work. His wife, tells be something hit the building. We watched the news for a bit and while we were sitting there we seen the second plane his the second tower. We were like WTF!

Harold and I went to work and basically watched TV all day. We sold high end bedroom furniture. We had almost no customers. We did have a couple walk in later in the day after we knew what was going on and they bought a $10,000 bedroom set. They said "We aren't going to let these terrorists control our lives. We planned on buying a bedroom set today and we still are."

Woke up to my mom and dad calling me to turn on the TV. When i finally got it turned on i couldn't beleive what was happening.

Heart goes out to all the familys/friends/firefighters/and law enforcement.

A day we will never forget!

**May you never be forgotten**

I was driving to work, turned on the radio and heard something like "...Pentagon in flames. Now to the White House where the President is being moved..." and FREAKED OUT.

America has moved on, but some lives will never be the same. I support actions to prevent this from ever happening again!!!

flip3d

YouTube - Chaser's War - How Much Do Americans Know About 9/11?

30% of us don't recall when it happened or know/remember much about it.


Does jet fuel heat up to near thermite levels? No.

ALTRNTV

Is that another conspiracy video?

If it is, no, the government did not plan the attacks
and shit. Some people just have too much time on
their hands. Same with the "landing on the moon"
conspiracy.

flip3d

The video I posted was just some Australian guy asking random people around New York what they knew about 9/11.

I'm not saying anything. I'm just looking at it from an engineering perspective.

We seriously need to mythbust this shit or something. Build some towers and fly shit into them.

What about the moon? I believe we landed on it.

ALTRNTV

I don't think that episode of Mythbuster's will go well
with many people.

I mentioned the moon landing because just like the 9/11
attack, these different groups/people claim it to be a conspiracy
and come up with these videos to prove it was.

flip3d

^K, well check out the vid I posted. People were GUESSING that 9/11 was in October, August, and other completely wrong dates.

boro otaku

I've seen videos like this... staged, or they only show they people who answer wrong.

If anyone doesn't know what 9/11 is about (or thinks it was a conspiracy) they need their voter registration banned. Workers would notice when 1/2 their floor was full of explosive drums...

I was at work, in a tall building... yay me

WOW.

That is an amazing story.
I'm glad he got out of there.





I remember walking out to my living room before I left for school and seeing it on the news and just kind of freaking out in my head.
That was an unbelievable day.

I was in an Avionics class, 3 weeks into having gone back to school to get my A&P, which was a task ironically made less valuable by the events of that day.
The school I was in was instructed by old military guys, from all branches... We were released by 11am, I went home for a while, then to work early for some overtime I had scheduled...
We were sent home from work with full lost hours paid (even overtime hours).

i was in the library copying math homework, 7th grade. suddenly all the TVs in the place turned on to air the broadcasting.

then my mom came and picked me up because my dad was working there at the time.

we spent the next few hours glued to the TV, and calling constanly to find out if he was in the building when the plane hit, but cell phone signals were DEAD in NYC when that went down, you couldnt get through anywhere.

later found out he was ok, but he watched everything go down from his hotel window only a few blocks away.

very scary day.

SimpleSexy180

huh? weird..

i remember waking up seeing it on tv before i left school. Then i went to school and i dont remember anybody being quiet or sitting and watching it on tv at school. It was a normal day of school work and then the occasional "did you see/hear what happened?"

but i think an announcement was mad over the intercom, thats about it...
