We have two more days till the anniversary.


Anybody else to post?

Ill post up....

I was in Nursing School and on the Telemetry Unit. I was getting ready to help out my patient for the day take a shower. I walked in early and he said that a plane had struck tower 1. I had told him that was odd...and then went on to tell him how the Empire State Building had been hit by a bomber in the 30's. We kinda watched the TV for a bit. I went to go tell my teacher what had happened but coudlnt find him.

I walked back into my patients room just in time for the second plane to hit. I remember we both said...this was no accident. I went back to tell my teacher what was going on and he was freaked. He had alot of family in NYC. We got the rest of the day off. I proceeded to get ahold of my best friend who has alot of family in NYC. His family was safe. A defining moment in my generation.

I want to thank all who took the time to post here about their experience! I greatly appreciate it. I found each story affected me in some way!
Consider it ignorance on my part, but until this thread I didn't realize the impact this day had on the rest of the world also!

Thank you

Mark, my last comment, the one thing that stands out in my mind the most is the silence here. No airplanes, aerially quiet.

I was hopeing something would be brought up at work about today, was very sad that most didn't know what today was...

How soon we forget the horrors of the past...

I was in front of the TV. Was watching CNN breaking news when 2nd one flew into the tower.

Since It is September 11th once again I thought I would bump this thread and get some more responses!

Remember, no conspiracy theories. Only where you were, what you were doing, and what you thought and felt!

I was in Physics class in High School. We heard about it from another teacher, and then turned on the TV to see the towers fall. All i can remember is i was in disbelief and thought it was a bad dream. Kind of like the giving a speech naked kind of dream, but 100 times worse. I did not know anyone personally in the accident but I know alot of people who are linked to those that died, and it really does suck.

I was shopping with my then-boyfriend, and as I brought my selections to the register, one of the clerks rolled a television out from the break room. We stood there for a few minutes, watching people jump, and then went home and spent the rest of the day watching the news. It was surreal and horrifying. It was hard to believe it was happening... I didn't know how to feel about it.
