driving to work, heard it on the radio. a lady in NYC called the station i was listening to after the first plane hit...she described the second plane as it was happening.

i was dumbfounded.

when i got to work, i was shocked. i work on a military base. it was an erie place to be while the events unfolded.

especially when the Pentagon report came in. one of the Navy women that works in my building has a husband that works in the Pentagon...i can't even describe the look on her face.

CNN Late Breaking News!

It has been reported that Osama bin Laden was captured this morning at 4:22 AM Pacific Standard Time by US Special Forces.

The prime suspect of the recent terrorist attack on the World Trade Center in New York City, bin Laden was captured at gunpoint as he fled an underground passage in a remote mountainside of southern Afghanistan.

Northern Alliance troops, who witnessed the events unfold, explained that moments earlier United States war planes had sprayed liquid Viagra across the southern Afghanistan countryside, and the little prick just popped up!

I had just woken up around 7 ( Pacific), and walked down the hallway to my Grandma's room, saw what was on the news, and i wasn't quite sure what to make of it, as it was right before the 2nd one hit, and the 1st tower fell. Ran straight to my moms room, had her turn on the tv and watched together as the towers fell, on live news:( Hard to describe it, just a total sense of how unreal this was, and how out-of-the-blue this had happened. one morning you wake up its a normal day so far, then you turn on the tv and your life just kinda changed.:(

Was really hard to get myself to go school, and stop watching the news. When i got to my class, teacher told us we were going to class next door, and that we could stay there watching the news. so i spent all of the school day watching cnn, and by then i was extremely angry, and shocked. went home and watched more news.

doesn't seem like it has been 2 years, feels like it was only a few weaks ago.

I was at home in bed and recived a call froma friends wife. I sat up turned on the news and seen the horrific images.

Reality set in and I thought about one of my good friends that had gotten a job as a ny fire fighter. Prayed for the situation and made some calls. Sure enough, my buddy Eugene was one of the first teams in. Never heard from again:(

I worked for a comapny that was contracted to haul for NYC DEP when this all happened....I was in and out of the city EVERY day and I should have been right there on Canal St. at 9 am but at 11pm the nite before my boss called and changed my run for that day. We had a National Guard escort into the city the day after and spend many hours stuck in FBI and police roadblocks/checkpoints and just seeing the smouldering, dust, rubble and truckload after truckload of debris coming thru the MidTown tunnel going to the landfill in Staten Island is just something that will live in my mind until my last day. I had developed a good working relationship with many NYC DEP employees and many of them had friends/family and neighbors who were lost in the towers.

Unless you spent a LOT of time in New York and new the city as well as I do......nobody can come close to realizing what happened....the television doesn't even come close to what it was really like

That day I was on the chitter and my ol'lady started freaking out from the other room,she said"up to 50,000 possible ppl could have been killed due to terrorizm"..I said "terrorizm?"..it took a sec to realize the meaning of it,then I heard about the Pentagon..not even realizing my aunt has worked there for 25 yrs,my mom called all freaked out b/c nobody could get thru to her,her office was 3 windows away from the the main impact area on the 3rd floor,20mins b4 the plane hit she was called to a meeting on the oppisite side of the building...THANK GOD,it took 4-5 hrs for my mother to find out she was ok,to hear the desperation in my mothers voice is something I will never forget,my aunt lost her office and 4 of her close friends/co workers that day... :(

B4 that I never really payed much attention to the Pentagon or the World Trade Center,words dont describe what/how I felt that day,Dont Tread On Me w/ anger/fear and sadness:( :mad: :( :mad:

Seeing as I'm Canadian...it didn't effect me quite as much...but I think it was like....grade 9, 1st period, Tech Ed class, and my teacher Mr. Holman didn't teach us anything that class cuz he was on CNN's website and he was tellin us about it, and 1 of my friends were flipping out cuz she was goin on a plane in a few weeks and she was scared that was gonna happen to her when she went on the plane

I was at work listening to my Howard Stern when he about flipped out and said the towers had been hit....here i am thinking that he was joking (cause he tends to do that). But when i looked up on the internet (thank goodness for internet at work)....i saw that it was true. I of course started to panic cause a couple of friends of ours live in DC and work near the pentagon so i was really worried about them. The owner was kind enough to put the TV on all day, all the employee's were just sitting glued to the TV. It was like the day had stopped.......it was a tragic day and i hope to never re-live another one liek that.

We need to hunt down and do what is nessarry the people responsible for this tragic day in history!!

God Bless the USA and those that are living in pain and has died due to the tragic day.

i had just gotten home from PT that morning, picked up my 8 month old daughter, sat down on the couch, turned on the tv. I was shocked like everyone else. I held my daughter tighter, kissed her forehead then went back to work instantly. I knew my days were about to become long and hard.

2 years later... I still get chills watching the videos, seeing the pictures, hearing the stories.

I was actually sittin on the couch that morning,
with cnn on (very stange for me to be doing that)

So I saw the whole thing from the first cut to the footage.

I called my mom & some friends to tell em to check it out.

Of course I thought it was just a pilot error just like everyone else.
Then the second plane hit & I knew then that it was about to hit the fan.

I'll never forget the guys that went into the buildings to save people knowing they would probably never make it out.

I just hope they rebuild something even bigger and more intmidating in the spot.
Even an exact replica of the towers about 200 ft taller would be awsome in my opinion.

I know lots of people want a monument there or a park, & I think there should be a huge monument or park or whatever somewhere closeby.
But I think we need to let these cowardly camel jockeys know that they will never put a scratch in our capatlist democratic way of life & rebuild offices and commerce space as tall and awe inspiring as possible.

To me that would be the best show that we will bounce back better & stonger than they could ever imagine.

I feel bad about it but I sometimes wish these idiots would piss us off bad enough to run a good old scortched earth policy on their pos countrys, take all of afganistan and iraq, use their oil money & make it our own resort paradise w/golf courses & huge ATV dune parks.

We could make all those stinking *******s be our caddys and gas tank fillers.

I dont know 4 shure but there are probably more than a few hott babes hidden under those sheets the women wear. They would be great for serving us some coronas & bloody marys after roosting up and down the beach.

I was up in Joisey around Atlantic city working. I awoke with a bad hangover and to the guy i was with beatin on the door screaming at the top of his lungs that we were under attack...:eek: I jumped up in a drunkin stuper and turned the TV on just in time to see the 2nd plane hit. I thought i was still drunk or half asleep so after about 10 minutes i jumped int he shower to wake myself up. Me and my buddy then walked to the main waiting rooom of the huge hotel we were at to see men and women standing around a big screen TV cryin their eye's out. I had no idea how or when i would get home at this point. I was to leave that day Tues. Sept. 11th at noon but finally got a rental car 4 days later and drove home...:ermm:

i was 10 miles from the pentagon when the planes hit in new york. another distributor got me on the radio and was tellin me about it....

after a lil bit one of my best friends hit me on the nextel and said the pentagon blew up. i went back to work and recalled all my drivers for the day. it was flat nutz around here ....they damn near emptied washington dc. traffic was bumper to bumper and people were panicking.

it was a crazy day for sure.

new york gets more attention then the plane in DC and the one in PA. there are some heart wrenching stories about these incidents.

09-11-2003, 06:39 AM
I didn't realize how close i was too all this stuff since i'm a southern boy but when the fighter jets roared over head I knew the chit was about to hit the fan... :(

I woke up late for work and was getting ready. I was still living with my parents and my dad called me upstairs with a strange tone. I ran upstairs and he said "sit down and watch the TV, something strange is going on".... just as he said this, the 2nd plane hit the building... we both looked at each other and said "oh chit, this was no accident...." :( My dad kept saying "the world is gonna change after this...." :(


I then went to work, on my way I heard about the crash in DC.... then I heard about the crash near me, in PA. Thats when I packed up and went home early.

I was in Myrtle Beach with my wife kids and some friends when the attack happened. I turned on the TV about 5 or 10 minutes after the first plane hit. I couldn't believe it... I woke up and the world had changed.

I hope we destroy those responsible for 9/11. Go USA!!!:macho

I was in School, My Teacher had the tv on. As soon as he saw what was going on, that's all we did was watch it. He served the country when he got out of high school. He was really into it, and he made sure everyone else was too. The whole day we watched it.
It really doesn't seem like it's been two years. I can still see it happening in my head. I didn't realize how bad it was till the first tower fell, then it really hit me.

I was in school when I heard on the anouncements, "We would like to have your attention please. A plane has crashed into the World Trade Center. But we think it was an accident." :rolleyes: . Certain students in my class bursted out crying because there parents were working in the World Trade Center. I only live an hour from the city so a few local residents were killed in our town.

Every cop in my town was in the city. My mom was talking to one of the cops a week later after 9-11. He just couldn't talk about it. It was very disturbing to all people around here. :(

11-23 Then I went with my dad to his work (Dispatching for a truckin company). One of the drivers were going into NYC to drop off supplies for the workers at a military training base, so we tagged along and went with him. I was able to see a pile of dibris with small smoke clouds comming from it. The city just seemed so empty without the 2 building up.

I was in downtown Philly at a trade show. Skeert da chit outa me ta be honest. Nothing like seeing all city streets closed with armored vehicles blocking the road & every corner with armed guards with fully automatic guns. They had to drive my car to me from the hotel cause the immediate blocks where I was at were closed. Luckily I had a rental car so I drove it back home to Ohio, not a fun drive by yourself in those circumstances. Can't complain too much at least I made it home safe, too many didn't:(

i was in my 2nd period calss, when the princepal came on the PA and told us that an accident had happened at the world trade center and anyone who had a loved one in the building could go to guidance to make phone calls. one of the hardest things to see is a kid u have known all your life as a "tough guy" start to cry and walk out.our math teacher then told us that a bi-plane had hit the world trade center. when the bell rang i heard someone in the hallway say that another jet hit. this is when i knew it was no accident. then in social studies a teacher kept coming in and updating us on what happened. as soon as she said a tower fell, i got a feeling beyond any sickness. then we kept being updated untill it was over. i cut my 4th period class to go watch the tv in the commons, the horrific images and sounds angered me. that day changed everything.

GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!!!

Chemistry class doing a lab. I was living in Delaware at the time. Couple hours south of NYC. Watched towers collapse live in Geometry class. School was evacuated and we were put on some kinda state of emergency and schools were evacuated. Delaware ahs the 4th biggest base in the nation, so there was fear that something might happen to us. Saw the helicopters flying over several times a day bringing in the bodies to our base. It's weird being that close to it all.

I was sitting in pre - algebra and i heard the teachers running back and forth saying stuff about a plane crashing into a building. They clicked on the tv and i saw a plane near a building and i was thinkin SWEET ZOMBIE JEASUS ON A POGO STICK THAT PLANE IS CLOSE TO THAT BUILDING it was just then i noticed the other building was all ****ed up with smoke pouring out of it then WHHAAAMMMM the second plane took a tight bank and smashed into the second tower...... i was speechless. everyone had the same look of blank confusion and terror on their faces.. we were all mortified stairing at the tv screen you could hear a pin drop in that classroom. At first i thought it was the japs that did it and i had absolutly NO idea what was going on. Mabe 20 minutes later the PA came on and they started dissmissing CRAP loads of kids to go home. i would say 200 kids from all sorts of grades went home. I wasnt one of them. and tommy the plane you are talking about flew right over J-Tizzle (Johnstown) which is where i live and crashed in shanks ville. I dont belive anyone got the pentigon being hit on camera. my friend johnny claims to have been in the woods near the crash site in shanksville and him and his dad heard it go down but who knows..:scary:

We had the distinct honor of being one of the first squadrons to engage targets in Afghanistan. We (not I, unfortunately, but members of my shop and unit) were in Turkey for Northern Watch when we were tasked to fly combat missions. At the moment it all happened, I was waiting to start this job with the 944th; I was repacking a hydraulic ram on a Case backhoe. I was living in a small town, it got pretty quiet.

Just alittle quote that i thought you all might enjoy....

In an interview, General Norman Schwartzkof was asked if he thought there was room for forgiveness toward the people who have harbored and abetted the terrorists who perpetrated the 9/11 attacks on America. His answer was classic Schwartzkof... He said, "I believe that forgiving them is God's function. Our job is simply to arrange the meeting."


That is a classic.....

I was in ESD training at work in a conference room and someone from the shop floor said they heard something like a plane down in new york. The room had two TV's we turned them both on and watch the other plane hit the second tower. At that moment I was more than ready to see Rod Steirling start talking about the mysteries and uncontrolable evils in the world. But this time the evil was real. :ermm: :(
SUPORT OUR TOOPS!!!!!!!!!!!!

In an interview, General Norman Schwartzkof was asked if he thought there was room for forgiveness toward the people who have harbored and abetted the terrorists who perpetrated the 9/11 attacks on America. His answer was classic Schwartzkof... He said, "I believe that forgiving them is God's function. Our job is simply to arrange the meeting."


That is a classic..... Yes it is!! I love that guy:blah: :D

Of the many many sad stories I heard,1 that sticks out in my mind was..the father that emailed his son and told him that a plane hit the building and there was no way out..and said he loved him and would see him in heaven....

still makes my eyes well up:(

I was at work, at the time I worked for Boeing building airplanes. It is hard to express the felling you get when the planes you build to keep people in touch with there loved ones, is turned into a deadly missle.

I was in my 4th hour spanish class when it happend. She didnt want to turn on the tv because she didnt realize what was happening really. in all my other classes after that we watched cnn all day long. It was just a gloom feeling as they kept showing the planes hitting both towers repeatedly. it just brewed alot of anger. And it did make the US more patriotic, theres flags everywhere, and it has also made everyone just a big closer.

listen to this crap.

i stayed home from school that day and i was out in the yard digging for the new water line and my mom yelled out at me about what was going on, and get this, the plane that crashed in pennsylvania went right over us. we thought it was because it was really low, and then when they showed the flight path later we were right. i had a plane that crashed go right over top of me.:ermm:

the whole thing was so scary as it unfolded. you didn't know what was going to happen next. my husband was out here in california and he kept calling cuz he was scared... i felt so terrible for the family of everyone that lost a loved one. especially all those babies that were born without fathers.

Mt.St.Helens and 9-11 are the 2 biggest things that have happened in my life-time,both were bigger than big,but the loss of human lives dont compare,I'd have to say the L.A. earthquakes rank about 3rd ,next to a few of the big tornados back east,that kinda stuff can really make you feel small in the world

i remember it wayyyyy to clear, i walked outa my 8th grade math room and as i walked out this kid PJ said terrorists just blew up the WTC buildings ( kinda giggled at it ) i didnt even know what the WTC buidlings were, so i was like uhh what areu talking about, all my friends were going into the social studies room and we watched the buildings crumble. I dont think anyone relised how serious it really was until we saw what was going on...

I read in a few Posts about people jumping outa the building. Thats what gets me the most. And the pictures really.... just ... its sad knowing people were jumping outa windows..

I was on my way back from overseas when it happened. I was sitting in Heathrow waiting for a flight to Chicago O'Hare. I watched sky news shortly after the 1st plane hit they were treating it like an accident at the time. I saw the second plane and everyone in the terminal was silent and stunned. Needless to say I was stranded in england as all flight were grounded. That day was a nightmare trying to get ahold of friends in nyc.

I was stuck in england for 4 days and the british people were so kind once they found out I was an american it really was amazing. They would come up to you saying they were so sorry and offering condolences for the attack. You couldn't buy a drink and my hotel didn't charge me for my stay. The greatest thing I saw was at the changing of the guard. Instead of the usual god save the queen they played our star spangeled banner. Their wasn't a dry eye there. It was truly a great gesture of sympathy by the brits.

I ended up in Holland for another week to stay with friends untill things sorted out. Finally making it back home to the greatest country now or ever!

Sept. 11 was the begining of the conflict that will end with the elimination of the murderous thugs that support and harbour terrorists and extremists. As long as all of us don't forget what happened that day was no accident!

RIP, PO 1st class Neil Roberts USN SEAL friend, comrade, father and husband. You are not forgotten! hoo yah!
