May they all rest in peace.

I remember exactly where I was and what I was doing. Dreadful is indeed the word to describe those events. May the innocent departed rest in peace. And may the perpetrators find anything but.

As a born and bred New Yorker (Staten Island) with ties to the city even in my Jersey exile. With friends whos wives I hugged at funerals. Or whos fathers have buried children. I give my utmost respect and rememberance to the 246 people on board the planes, 2606 that died in the WTC and surrounding areas, due to falling debris, and people jumping from windows, and the 125 from the Pentagon.

Props to all the emergency responders who sacrificed their personal lives to help out in the aftermath. (Only to have Congress, not approve a bill to help these people with medical care from all the dust they inhaled, and Yes I mean R's, but wish not to start a partisan pissing contest.)

Our politicians will pay in time, but for now it is about remembering the dead, and the true American unity that the aftermath represented. For at least a few months, Fellow Americans didn't want to kill one another.

Yes. It was a clear September day all along the Atlantic coast that day. I was at a construction site and someone told us. I went home and watched in disbelief as the two buildings fell. Hope I never see anything like that again.

I was in my first job out of grad school teaching elemenatry school here in southeastern Pennsylvania. When I heard that the first tower was hit by a plane, I admit that I didn't think much of it; thinking it some guy in a Cessna that was either confused or intoxicated. All that changed when I was between classes and came to the faculty room just in time to see the second plane hit the South Tower on the TV. At that point, I knew that our world had changed irrevocably; a defining watershed moment in history that I had never personally witnessed up until that moment. I don't think that I could quite adequately describe my feelings.

Cooking eggs in my apartment and getting ready for my Tuesday morning english class. I still vividly remember frantically trying to get through the phone lines to reach my parents who were supposed to eat at Windows on the World that day.

This is our generations Kennedy assasination.

We were all touched that day.

I remember looking over my then girlfriends shoulder as she read a website.

I saw some banner about the WTC hit by a plane, and honestly thought it was some kinda NBC tv movie, (NBC website)

I made a smart-assed remark,until I was told it was real.

I turned on the TV and 10 minutes later the second plane hit. The reporters didn't know how to report it, they only suggested this had the look of something intentional. (people thought the first plane was an accident, i.e when the plane crashed into the Empire state building.)

Of course I remember, it is the exact momement America lost its balls, and let fear govern us. It is when we turned over our freedoms to the government. And gave rise to child fondling, grandma fiddling TSA agents, and a nice overfunded bloated Department of homeland Security. (fat, just like the officers)

I feel secure. I had my testicles cupped by a man last time through the line. If he wasn't a fat mouthbreather with a badge, surrounded by other fat mouthbreathers with fake cop badges, I would have removed his teeth from his mouth.

He seemed happy though.

(Edit: No I do not hate fat people. I am 160 pounds soaking wet, you don't see me trying to be an offensive lineman in the NFL, so if you're 300 pounds, and get tired walking up stairs, you do not belong in law enforcement.)

The day after my 31st birthday. I woke up and the first tower was already hit. I turned on my normal AM radio program when I heard frantic voices of the beloved hosts, the wife was choking back tears as her husband said that a plane hit the WTC. I thought I was stilled buzzed and turned on the the TV, the tower was in flames and the dark smoke was pouring from the buildings. I was stunned, hoping to God it was an accident, after I finished that thought I saw on live tv the second attack. My throat went dry and I felt like puking. I was working on a tactical unit and an hour later I got called into work. It was my day off. We worked 6 straight weeks of twelve hour days at different places that were high valued targets.

I had just returned from school and I turned on TV to check what had happened in the world. I was really surprised when there was unscheduled news broadcast with at least North Tower in fire. Then there was plane hitting second tower although I'm not sure whether it was direct broadcast in that point or were they replaying event for new watchers.

Its interesting that I remember those moments despite losing most of childhood memories in 2008 migraine seizure.

Jimbuna · 09-12-12, 08:21 AM

IIRC I was at home and saw a news flash on tv, changed channels and saw the second aircraft impact.

The world has never been the same since that terrible day
