Please remember 9/11

AkivaSmith,its allright to share things concerning 9/11 on this thread,thanks for sharing.Everyone i thank you for your posts and sharing every word with the rest of us.

I was getting up to go to work... (Late shift) and my TV came on.... I thougt "What movie is this, I havn't seen it before".... Then the news anchor came on over the screen and anounced the second plane in rout... I couldn't breathe....


Side note... The only good thing (for lack of better words) for me that resulted from our attack was how kind everyone was to eachother afterwards. People let you over in traffic, strangers opened doors for you, I've never felt that before. Strangers smiling and waveing...

I was at home with my son, and was due to have my daughter within two weeks. My husband called to tell me. (if the tv is on it's usually tuned to cartoons) I just remember watching in total shock and horror. My father is a firefighter in MD, and I was terrified for him. My thoughts and prayers go out to all those families who lost loved ones, and for all the military personnel and their families. I cry when I think of all the children born, who will never know a parent because of this terrible act.

I don't even know where to start. I was working that day I went to the cafeteria to get some soda and saw the coverage. At first I thought why are they playing the movie Armageddon but then I noticed it was real , I saw the second airplane hit then we knew the truth. RIP to the victims of this horrific tragedy , these savages will get whats coming to them. God bless our proud men and women in uniform on the hunt for all terrorists. You have our complete support.

My dad is a fireman and I wanted to make sure that he was ok and his firehouse had been deployed from our town to help. It had not as we lived to far away.
This will be remembered as the most devastating day in the history of the United States. Please remember that not only the twin towers but the people who fought the terrorists and ultimately crashed the plane and perished. Remember all the brave rescue members, the troops that have already perished and the ones that are still fighting for our freedoms. God Bless America :salute:

RIP and God bless those lost and affected. May infernal death befall those who wish to strip us of our western civilization.

I was working for a novelty distributing comapny out of Oswego, Illinois... we were listening to the radio and heard the coverage, our boss went into the backroom and pulled out an old black n white tv for us to see the coverage, once we saw just how aweful it really was, we closed the office and went home. After I got home, I was even more scared because even though we lived just a few blocks from the school, they were on lock down and would not even let me come pick up my kids to bring them home... had to sit all day alone at home crying and feeling horrible while watching the news coverage on CNN (by the way, today CNN is broadcasting the news coverage from the very day this happened, in its entirety till midnight tonight)... I cried for the horror those who passed away must have felt, I cried for thier loved ones who were to find out they lost one of theirs.. it was a very very sad day for me, I will never forget it.... and I will never forget those who lost thier lives that day. To this day, it is a very sad moment in my life even though it did not directly effect me by taking one of my loved ones... I still cry about it when I think about it....

I remember that day. My whole family is from New York, and we had been living in AZ at the time.

My mom came into the room and woke me up with the phrase "We are under attack". I was a little confused, but she had turned on my TV and was sitting at the foot of my bed. I looked on as a tower on TV was burning and the images of the plane striking played over and over.

Throughout the day we heard more and more about it. My family all called in saying they were fine.

Interesting side note. My uncle was one of the people that worked in investigating the attack. He works for the FBI in a terrorist faction. I don't know a whole lot, because I'm not really allowed to, to be honest. I just know that he left over seas a few days after it happened and he couldn't tell anyone why or where he left to.

Crazy, no?
