September 11, 2001

I was asleep when the first plane hit. I woke up, my father was watching TV and said look at TV, and saw on TV that smoke was pouring out of one of the WTC buildings. Then a minute later, I saw the 2nd plane crash into the other WTC building. I was shocked at this news.
 
Hi...What I remember about WTC on September 11th, 2001 is that I was going through personal HELL because my ex-hubby of almost 10 years asked for a divorce 3 months prior to this and was still going through grieving and emotional HELL...Anyways, I arrived to work that morning at 9AM(MST time), I noticed several of my co-workers :gossip: and in tears. One of my Deaf co-workers told me that WTC just happened with 2nd plane attack... :o When she told me, I didn't give a HECK of what happened and walked to my desk. Few mins later (about 10 mins later), I realized that something was really serious and talked with the same Deaf co-worker and then I realized that "the world was crashing down" around me. During my shift, I walked back and forth to the TV and working and talking with friends on IM about WTF (actually a friend was telling me details by minutes after minutes while I worked).

After work (I worked part-time), I went home and was glued to the tv. I did cry on and off about our Country (and marriage). Was exhausted and wondered what was next.....sigh! (I have since re-married).
 
I have no idea about 9/11 because I just newie to St Louis and just hired as new employee.... just a month newie... I come in 2pm to start work...

I just find out abt deaf worker there work same dept with me and she asked me to walk out to the newspaper shop. She asked me about 9/11 I was like :confused: and not see or hear nothing! I saw the newspaper just come in quik! I was :confused: like hell.. I asked my mom and she told me everything what happens that morning... I was :shock: and lost my speech for while.

Next day, I and Betty talked about 9/11 because we not watch tv on that day... she did recorded of 9/11 on news... she watched all of it on late night.... I catched up all the news from newspaper and tv little.

Now, we are forward and get it done with Ground Zero.... like it did happens on Okla Bomb Memorial
 
My ex wife divorced me that day at the family court in Honolulu,Hawaii and I was in other court for assault 2nd degree that I hit my friend's cheek had bad scar 100 stitches and the judge send me to state prison and then I saw that TV news about WTC and my celly mate started crying because his father who work at WTC and he was so upset he could not contact his father since last time talk on the phone on Sept.10th He thinks his dad got killed at that incident from WTC and I felt sorry for him. I could not believe that day was so strange and bad luck for me too about my wife divorced me and that day I got into in state prison too.
 
the other sign language teacher wanted me to bring my deaf friend, josh, to her class. he was going to give them all sign names. he went around the class room and asked them their name, and their favorite hobby, or color, or animal. and he would make up a name with that information. afterwards we were all talking and another teacher came in and was like, a plane just smashed into one of the twin towers. and one just hit the pentagon. and to be honest i didn't really think it was that big of a deal. i just thought oh man tha really sucks. i interpretted to my friend what was going on and he was like...wow thats awful. josh had to leave after that. so i walked him to his car then i went and visited my aunt patty. and she was upset. she had to tv turned on and all her students were watching the tv in darkness and silence. (she had turned off the lights) i went over and comforted her she was just so shocked of what was going on. and thats when i learned that these were terrorist attacks, not accidents. and we saw the 2nd plane hit the other tower, and we saw them both fall. it was horrible. i haven't thought about this in a long time.

later i went home and i was watching tv. and these cameras were inside a building and u could her this THUD.....THUD CRASH......THUD and they were bodies falling on the roof of the building. seeing people jumping out of buildings and falling to their death. it's just too much.

it was crazy. and its something ill be able to tell my grand children because im never going to forget it.
 
I would NEVER NEVER NEVER forget that day. We flew home from Los Angeles on red eye flight on Sept 8th. We went to LAX from the wedding (first was phamarncy to get inhaler that my bf lost it) then drop off the rental then went to LAX. MY BF felt something funny..something is NOT right. He said I don't know what's wrong. So we got on the plane (that time my son was almost 7 months old) and flew to Pittsburgh to change the plane. We met his parent there since they lived there. So we had nice breakfast and spent few hours with Tyler, (my son). Then it was time for us to leave and flew home to Buffalo. Whew we got to Buffalo safe. We got our Blazer (which I called it as Lady bug :) ) We drove home and was so beat from all night on plane. He has to go work on next day but on 11th nope. He got sick. He slept in. I was downstairs with my son which he TURNED 7 months old on that day. I was breast fed him and cuddled him. I was talking to my best friend on Wyndtell pager ( :madfawk: at Wyndtell :giggle: ) She told me to go to the news. I said why? I was watching Emeril! She said GO watch the DAMN news! I said ok ok ok! I switched the channell and :jaw: at WTC! I saw 2nd plane hitted! I was frozen and held my son soo tight! It was SO sad! My BF was still asleep. I woke him up about WTC and he said HUH? Whatever and went back to sleep...he woke up and saw the news. He said OH that!

Before I left back home, I told my aunt (we are soo close) that Christine (my 2nd cousin) will have her son, Aaron on 11th not on 10th (which it was her due date)..GOOD ENOUGH he was born on 11th in the evening! My aunt said NOTHING! He will turns 4 tomorrow.

This day I will NEVER forget. Tomorrow I will hang up the flag to honor Sept 11th.
 
Barely I've remembered what happend, When I walked w/my three children and went to school about my time to drop my children off and spotted the Arabs women bowed down and tears... I puzzled.. She took her head clothe off and cried cried... heard the radio PA annocement.. espically I can't hear.. Arab woman was cresture sign for me.. Airpline *BOOM* long tower. I say, Toronto ???, Arab woman said no no... her hand wave far far far... I said USA ? She nodded ya ya, pointing two fingers.. and tall tower.. In my mind barely hard understand what two tower? She was cried and took her children *vanished quicker* Lot of people are angry and staring Arab people around among us.. I say, NO.. leave them alone.. They were mad at me, Arab people are FRIGG'N TERRIOIST.. I was kind stunned and broke my heart... what the????
I took my kids along with me.. change my plan.. not want send them stay school... which felt not safe..
So I returned home and *click t.v. on* whoa..... WTC.. oh that what Arab woman tries explain me two tower. *Goosebumps* Really hit me sad more and along w/my husband held me around arms... Next day, I refused send my children goes to school.. School called me asked me, please bring children.. I said NO... i don't feel safe for my children goes to school... due arabs people are there because too many residisnt (sp) around living closer to School. Few hours later, CAS (Children Aid Socitey) shoved into my home and took my children away. I was so mad and upset more... few days later, I went to the court.... finally i won the case.. CAS social worker pissed off at me, I don't give fuk! I have good reason... Thanked to my lawyer but which he is arab but he not part of them...

*Never forget that what happend* I felt bad Arab woman is not along w/me... because of that 9/11. I have no idea why cause her changed life and no longer friendship.... She is damn nice lady and always treat us equal and talk awful lot... I miss her.. I have not seen her since 4 years from now....
 
That day i was sick, i had lung infection, and a bad one too. I woke up in the morning as i was residence student, and got ready and go to school, but my chest was in sooooo painful, i couldnt walk. But i was try to ingore the pain and go to school, i hated to go to nurse, my counsellor said can hear me wheezing so she called the nurse andtold me to go see her, so i went and said i was fine, so they let me go, but on the walk to the school part, i couldn't walk far, i was only less than half way from there, and i decided forget this i cant go to school like this. So i turned back and went to the infirmy. I stayed there all day, and slept. So i had no idea of what happened.

In the afternoon, I went to doctor appt with nurse, for xray to see what wrong etc, i saw the news on tv but i didnt give a shit no cc, and i had no idea what was happening, so i just thought it was another accident that happened, cuz i had heard of plane accident before, so i just overhead about it and went for xray etc.

Finally I went back to infirmy and wait for my parent to come pick me up to go home, i went to school to pick up homework from the teachers, then one of the teacher asked me if i had heard about the wtc, i was like huh? he explained a bit to me but i still didnt care. So after i arrived home, it was later that night when i saw the news with cc and i was like oh shit, and felt bad for the people in there.

Have You Forgotten
Darryl Worley
Written by Darryl Worley and Wynn Varble

I hear people saying we don't need this war
I say there's some things worth fighting for
What about our freedom and this piece of ground?
We didn't get to keep 'em by backing down
They say we don't realize the mess we're getting in
Before you start preaching
Let me ask you this my friend

CHORUS 1
Have you forgotten how it felt that day
To see your homeland under fire
And her people blown away?
Have you forgotten when those towers fell?
We had neighbors still inside
Going through a living hell
And you say we shouldn't worry 'bout Bin Laden
Have you forgotten?

They took all the footage off my T.V.
Said it's too disturbing for you and me
It'll just breed anger that's what the experts say
If it was up to me I'd show it every day
Some say this country's just out looking for a fight
After 9/11 man I'd have to say that's right

CHORUS 1
Have you forgotten how it felt that day
To see your homeland under fire
And her people blown away?
Have you forgotten when those towers fell?
We had neighbors still inside
Going through a living hell
And we vowed to get the ones behind Bin Laden
Have you forgotten?

I've been there with the soldiers
Who've gone away to war
And you can bet that they remember
Just what they're fighting for

CHORUS 2
Have you forgotten all the people killed?
Yes, some went down like heroes in that Pennsylvania field
Have you forgotten about our Pentagon?
All the loved ones that we lost
And those left to carry on
Don't you tell me not to worry 'bout Bin Laden
Have you forgotten?

Have you forgotten?
Have you forgotten?

Amen!

We need to review the scenes at least once a year.

Thanks for the reminders.
 
Where Were You

Alan Jackson

Where were you when the world stopped turnin'
that September day?
Out in the yard with your wife and children;
Or working on some stage in L.A.?
Did you stand there in shock at the sight of that black smoke
Rising against that blue sky?
Did you shout out in anger in fear for your neighbor
Or did you just sit down and cry?

Did you weep for the children
that lost their dear loved ones?
Did you pray for the ones who don't know?
Did you rejoice for the people who walked from the rubble
and sob for the ones left below?
Did you burst out in pride for the red white and blue
And the heroes who died just doin' what they do?
Did you look up to heaven for some kind of answer?
And look at yourself for what really matters?

(Chorus)
I'm just a singer of simple songs;
I'm not a real political man
I watch CNN, but I'm not sure I can tell you the difference
in Iraq and Iran
But I know Jesus and I talk to God
And I remember this from when I was young
Faith, Hope and Love are some good things He gave us
And the greatest is Love.

Where were you when the world stopped turning
That September day?
Teaching a class full of innocent children;
Driving down some cold interstate?
Did you feel guilty 'cause you're a survivor
in a crowded room did you feel alone?
Did you call up your mother and tell her you love her?
Did you dust off that bible at home?

Did you open your eyes hope it never happened;
And close your eyes and not go to sleep?
Did you notice the sunset the first time in ages;
Or speak to some stranger on the street?
Did you lay down at night and think of tomorrow;
Go out and buy you a gun?
Did you turn off that violent old movie you're watchin'
And turn on "I Love Lucy" reruns?

Did you go to a church and hold hands with some strangers?
Stand in line and give your own blood?
Did you just stay home and cling tight to your family
Thank God you had somebody to love?

(Chorus)
I'm just a singer of simple songs;
I'm not a real political man
I watch CNN, but I'm not sure I can tell you the difference
in Iraq and Iran
But I know Jesus and I talk to God
And I remember this from when I was young
Faith, Hope and Love are some good things He gave us
And the greatest is Love.

I'm just a singer of simple songs;
I'm not a real political man
I watch CNN, but I'm not sure I can tell you the difference
in Iraq and Iran
But I know Jesus and I talk to God
And I remember this from when I was young
Faith, Hope and Love are some good things He gave us
And the greatest is Love.
And the greatest is Love.
And the greatest is Love.

Where were you when the world stopped turnin'
that September day?

Click to expand...

i got chills when i heard that song because thats all i did to escape 9/11 was watch the I Love Lucy reruns they were playing.
 
in order for me to escape awful memories of 9/11th, I go and play Metal Gear Solid 2 (most games were delayed due to remindance of 9/11th, expect for MGS2 is still on date to be shipped into stores, even though it involves terrorists and hidden wars and so on but was the only game that wasn't delayed...weird eh? I also watch "the simspons" and "friends" as "friends" is filmed in New York, it has turned to be much more popular after 9/11th proably to show spirtis of NY or whatever like that.
