I just wonders if anyone remember about happen on Sept 11, 2001?

Now, it's 7 years of after Sept 11, 2001 and all hopefully goes on people who are victim or killed by 9/11, such as collapse of WTC, partly collapse of Pentagon and other airplane crash.

Have you watch the film about WTC? I had watch it and made me so very sad. :(

Don't forgot about 1993 WTC bombing too, that's scary.

You can tell or share with stories about experience on what happen with 9/11 and WTC bombing if you want too.
 
No need to watch film. I've seen plenty enough back in 2001. Beside.... it's right in front of my home and I've been to the site when it was still burning and reeked of dead bodies. Lost a friend for WTC war. I know a friend who lost several colleagues and friends inside WTC. My dad was in city close to WTC during both incidents.

I think it's time for media/government to stop replaying WTC clips because it's been 7 years and we need to heal and move on. Replaying WTC clips/movies isn't conducive to anybody's healing and it just furthers fears and hates.
 
I don't mind if media show it once every 5 years, but not every year. I don't watch it, as I know what happened already. It's pretty scary and really sad.
 
i dont watch tv when that happened.

that years of my cousin was born his name is Bud he born Feb.23,2001 when he was 7 month old as baby but im not sure he would remind about that but he now 7 years old.

im sure mostly New Yorkers and any states who lost lovers for 7 years and lots of mores that not easy!
 
I was in my high school calculus class when someone came in and told us what happened to the WTC towers after they had already collapsed. It didn't sink in that the towers were no longer there until my English class went to the library to watch the news. :eek2:
 
I had gotten breaking news in my rim pager then rushed to watch tv in my work office. that's sad news.
 
My husband said he is gonna be very late for work today cuz Metro in DC has been shut down since 2 AM and there will be no parking at all around the Pentagon. The reason for this is cuz of the opening ceromonies for the 9/11 memorial at the Pentagon. My husband works there so it will be an interesting day for him.
 
The 9/11 had been a major disruption for the UPS, the "Air Silence" meaning no non-military flights are allowed in the airspace and lasted for 3 days. It has costs million dollars and the hardships that followed for airlines and other businesses. UPS, FedEx, Postal and others are impacted.

The sacrifice by the firefighters and policemen as well as Flight 93 are greatly indebted by not only New Yorkers, but Americans and around the world as well.

I was at home asleep when it happened and woke up to see the breaking news of the attack on america all over on TV. It's disbelieving to see this happen to us and seeing the plane hit the tower on video then towers crumble down to the ground that time.

We all keep vigilant everyday and keep watch for any suspicious activity for the terrorists and we wont let them win over us.
 
A here short story because I have to be made breakfast for my girls and ready to school at 8 30 a.m. anyway.


I was lived in California...... I waked up. I was turning on TV with news while I was breast fed my daughter at my bedroom. Report news and show first one building with smoke. :confused: I was so puzzle, keep watch > Live New.

I am witnessed with an airport hit 2nd building with my eye. I said what the fuck and Very shock! :shock:
 
I was in Rochester (NTID/RIT). I woke up and went to class at RIT (not LBJ). The class's front door said, 'class cancel'. I was like, woot! then walk back to LBJ for tutor and everybody talking about WTC. So, i went to lobby and watch tv. Oh sheesh!!

On that day, my parents, relatives, ex, friends paged me to ask me if i am all right. I told them its only couple of hours away from Rochester to NYC. I am fine, really and no injuries. They were so worrywarts but i am very greater apperciated how they care and love.

That day is really sad and in the honor of firefighters.
 
It was sad, indeed. :(

I was home recovering jet lag from our trip from CA just 48 hours. We got home Sunday (really we landed into Buffalo at 8 something AM) and we drove home from Bufflao. We were DAMN lucky we got home in time before WTC attack! My husband (during that time BF) was asleep, not feeling well. I was in the living room taking care of my son and watched some cable on Direct TV (I don't remember what show, probably TLC or something). He was only 7 months old...he TURNED 7 months old on 9/11/01. I had Wyndtell pager with me but it was out of sort for some reason. My best friend said go watch the news please. i said what for? You know me, I hates news! She said GO WATCH THE NEWS! I said okkkkk! I switched to local channel and all of sudden I saw plane hit WTC! :( I was shaking and could not believe it!!! I held my son pretty hard because it was scary! I already fed him earlier though. Later, I told my hubby about it and he nodded. I had to go out get something and he was awake and saw the news. He said ohhh that's what I was trying telling him!

And what's more I told my aunt that Christina will have her baby on the 11th instead on the 10th which it was her due date. GOOD ENOUGH that my 3rd cousin born on 9/11/01 in the evening on West coast time! She gulped! She asked me why 11th? I told her my son born on 11th of Feb and why not another 11th of any month! She laughed. Anyway now he is 7 today! Image I haven't met him?? We were supposed to meet but he was sick during that time I was in town. Wrong time darn it.

Anyway, they will be in my thought. RIP to everyone on 9/11/01.
 
I remember the day... I was getting ready to go to work, but I spent most of the morning staring at the news on TV, like most people. I arrived late to work, and told my boss how sad I felt about the attack, which led to a discussion about America and terrorism. I couldn't believe what I was hearing, when my boss eventually said, "I am sure the terrorist didn't mean to kill people!" as if it is no big deal. I guess you could say that I worked for a nutcase, but he wasn't a nutcase though.
 
I remember that morning I was having a yard sale that day,my husband was watching something on HBO and he change the channel to FOX news and then CNN. We were so glue to the TV that I cut my yard sale short.
 
9/11 was happened when I was at middle school, we are just discuss about something until teacher got heard from somewhere then turn on tv and watch CNN on all of school hour, that scare some of students off after watch about happen with airplane hijack, I was very extreme disappointed after saw that and WTC has great memory about everything. After school, I went left CNN on tv on all day until late night in my room and not feel so good to think about everything.

I was remember about 1993 WTC bombing, terrorist group's plan that both of towers are supposed go down in 1993 but failed and just made bad explosive in small site instead of take both of towers down then they are re-attempt in Sept 11, 2001 with different methods and it's passed, I'm really not understand about how they give an big crap to America.

Yup, all airport are closed in North America in after that for while, probably only limited to government related airplane.
 
I will never forget that tragic week. Everyone worked so valiantly on saving people. I was at Gallaudet. I was in a morning class doing ceramics when we heard about New York and then the Pentagon. We could see smoke from the Pentagon. The only thing I am proud about the tragedy is how well everyone worked together. It pissed me off to see people turning this tragedy into a divisive agenda afterwards.
 
I remember waking up that morning and was walking past Dad who was watching tv.. and then when I was done in the bathroom I walked back into the living room and saw the tv and saw the images of the WTC towers smoking and I thought.. huhh a big fire?? then the unthinkable..... the plane I saw went onto the other building.. I went uhhh damnn... funny enough a month before my 3rd sis in law's youngest sister was married and she and her hubby were on their honeymoon and had visited the WTC towers before... whoa I will never ever forget this for a long time... certainly something that wasnt supposed to happen ever, did indeed happen...
 
i won't forget i was working that day at the college bookstore in the back and my co worker had radio on i guess for music but i saw their faces it was like a shock looking faces and i ask them what wrong and they told me that 2 planes smashed into WTC and i go like OMG, and other one to Pentagon i go oh shit and later about noon or something my boss sent everyone home early and when i got home my dad was already home from his school. we did hug and we were very shocked my mom was not home she was with grandma my grandma was in hospital that time very Ill

i won't forget that day
 
I was in high school (10th grade), in a boring english class writing an essay. The teacher stepped out to go to the teachers lounge. Five minutes later she came back with an excited look on her face saying, "They blowing up da world trade center!". She started to explain what da news said. When school was dismissed, everyone rushed home and parked in front of the television.
I couldn't believe my eyes, it looked like something out of an action movie. The whole moment was like "WOW", this is impossible! Da news was replaying it over and over for two weeks, took me a week to believe it. It was sad though. All those people that died. Life isn't fair.
 
I was a freshman student of my ex OSD when it really happened...

I didn't know it happened cos I was asleep at 5 o'clock in morning while it happened at eight in morning in New York. I just got up like, probably, 5:45 am along with my family. None of us knew what happened to those towers... I got ready to go outside for my bus with my mom for hang out time. I just it was a bit of strange for me to say;

"...Two went to heaven, we will sing..."

Yeah, strange? I didn't remember why I said that but I think it was related to my pet or member of my family. I'm not sure... I also didn't remember what did my mom and I were talked about it.

Once my bus picked me up and my mom left to our home, so before I got off to my school, I just saw my driver was looked so serious yet looked so sad. I puzzled, all one thing on my mind, I thought it might his tough time in morning or something.

I walked all the way to get in high school and waited for my class to start by 7:45 in morning. I just arrived there by, like maybe, 7:30. None of students, except teachers and staffs, knew what happened to those towers. So until, it was now seven and forty-five o'clock and I entered in my class for the first period... and I saw my teacher gentleman was just so upset and very bitter. Five students and I were like, "Huh? What's wrong?" he just replied to us that was nothing wrong and told us to give him our homework, he also told us to stay in our class so he had to do something. So we did.

Boy, I never forget how much he might feel so hurt and extremely upset. I never had seen how much sour his face was...

We were like, "Okay." Of course, we asked a question to each other and wander what was up with him? Within 45 minutes, We just got bored and did something with worksheets and doing with stuff that were related to some period classes. Until my teacher finally returned here and told us to go the libraty room at the other school, Middle School, to watch a TV for news. So I got out of the class, I didn't expect that a whole of teachers, staffs, and students went there too.

I was so confused... yet I just now got scared and wander, "What's wrong? Something's going on?"

Once I went to the libraty room and the TV already turned on. On TV, I saw a huge smoke came out of the brother tower, one thing on my mind, I thought it was an accident but I was unsure about that. I already missed some parts of what happened so I asked one of teachers about it. A teacher explained to me, I was a bit worried and had never thought of that for one moment.

"Really? Wow..."

All of sudden, I was completely silent and didn't know what I would say something... I saw some students & adults were cried, some were too shocked, and some were couldn't stop talk as if they were babbled. Go on and go on, I just got scared...

On TV, the second plane hit the other twin tower so I realized it was not an accident but rather to under an attack... it did scare me more so I did not want to watch it any further more. I left the room to get my stuff for next period class, I saw my princrial (sp) woman looked so mad and very disappointed, and I wander if she was okay... some time later, I was now in class and asked my favorite teacher what was wrong with her, the prinicrial (sp) one. She told me the woman just upset that teachers and staffs were supposed to do their duty because they were too busy to watch the news TV, and some teachers & staffs, were in other class, discussed with students for what happened.

Geez, I felt bad for that fine lady...

Okay... Since I got nothing to do because it was kinda of messed up and a little drama flew around my school... until it was almost 10:30, a female staff called me to go to the Main Office because the staff told me that my mom was there. I didn't know why... when I got in the Main Office, my mom told me that my prinical woman allowed my mom to take me home for safety. I was like, "why? I will be fine at school." But my mom explained to me that she was fear of loss of her kids (inculding myself) and she was pretty upset. So I had no choice, I went with her...

So I left my school by around 10:45 in morning...

When I got home, I saw my sister and my baby brother were already there with babysitter (I don't remember who the person was). So we didn't have any thing to do and I sometime wished I would be at school... I remembered that my sister was pissed off because my mom took her from school as she concerned... well, I didn't blame them for that, neither I would.

About 30 minutes later, I remembered my mom cried on her phone while she talked with my grandma (my mom's) about 9/11 ...

There are so many nasty memories that I really am not remember at all. But that's all I remember...

Bless those families of 9/11, they will be in my thought...
