where was you on 9/11

[robbie506]

as the anniversary looms tomorrow (saturday) it seems that everybody knows what they was doing when the planes hit. i was at home recovering after having seven shades of crap beaton out of me by a local group of wannabes. (got my revenge though) .

i have watched alot of info about this and with all that i have seen this is the most emotional thing i have seen. this is heart breaking nothing bad but watch it. im not that emotional but this hit me.

it is true by the way.

Good posting this!

I was living in Ireland and working nights at a company & was just chilling at home after getting out of bed late. I turned the TV on and watched it all unfold LIVE on TV!

Felt like I was watching an action movie as I couldn't believe what was going on?

I remember this like it was yesterday, I woke up on my mates floor after a heavy night out on the lash, switched the telly on to see the whole thing unfold. I remember at the start thinking **** a plane as accidently crashed into one of the twin towers, then when the second hit it was like my stomach was ripped out, I could not believe what I had just seen. Me and the missus visited ground zero and I must say its the most strange experiance of my life, goose pimples the lot, close to tears we left.

I heard on the radio about the first plane at work, just thought it was a light aircraft. Popped home and was telling my mum, turned on the TV and 2 minutes later the 2nd plane hit.

What was actually happening suddenly became very apparent. Sickening is the only word i can think of to describe it

I was down at the golf club having a brew in the shop when my Dad phoned to get home and watch the tv! I just missed the second plane hitting when I got in but then proceeded to watch the next 18 hours of television straight through at a friends house smoking far too much weed!!! It was defiantly the day that changed the world! Needless to say my pot smoking days have finished! Adulthood catches us all in the end!

New poster! (less than 10 posts)

I was working at a ladies house when it happened. Her husband was from new york and was on business there right by the twin towers. I couldn't believe how calm she was about the whole thing. I think her exact words were " oh i guess i should try and contact him" unbelievable! Oh he was fine by the way!

I was on the college bus on my way in for a half day when people started talking about it out loud.

I spent the rest of the journey thinking "Oh great, as a result of this, from now on, every dumb motherf****r that goes to this god forsaken college is gonna think i'm an arab now, this is going to be a fun life"

i was trying my hand at bricklaying as a youth, the radio was on and it was mark and lard or something like that on radio 1, for a good 2-3 hrs we didnt know weather it was a hoax or real... theres still plenty of people out there that think the americans had a part in it..... and i really cant believe they even considered building a temple in the same region... no respect.

[wrightygtt]

I was at home on a week off watching Sky sports news/ something about Man****e when they cut the broadcast and went straight to sky news, thats when the second plane hit live on Tv, fcuking terrible. I also watched it for the next god know's how long, it was almost as if it wasn't real!

I was in the oman desert on a massive army excersice, Just finished a mage 18hr drive from the top of oman to muscat port, went for a bit of food in the scoffhouse eyes bleeding, and the news was being shown on a massive plasma, i think i was only 18/19 at the time, and didnt really know how much of a big deal was, i just sort of shrugged it off. However my short term memory is terrible, but i do remember it like it was yesterday

Me and the missus visited ground zero and I must say its the most strange experiance of my life, goose pimples the lot, close to tears we left.

I went there in January 2003 and as you say, it was such a strange, emotional experience. There was an eerie silence about the place, with a lone busker playing America the Beautiful - Immediate goose bumps! We walked around the area as well, and all of the drainage system in Lower Manhattan was still full of all the brick dust from the towers. An experience I'll never forget

As for where I was at the time, I was working nights (security in an MOD building) so I was asleep at the time. I remember waking up and turning the TV on, wondering why every channel was showing the news. Then it clicked what was happening, and as so many others, I was glued to the TV/newspapers for about a week after, probably more.....

I was in year 11 at school and I used to go home for lunch as it was only down the road.
Me and a mate were watching Kenan and Kel with our Pot Noodles and a news flash popped up.
The first plane had crashed into the World Trade Center.
We were so shocked and didn't really believe it. We carried on watching and saw the second plane crash.
We went back to school and no one believed what had happened antill we got our R.E teacher to put on the news.

Due to the lack of tv's we didnt really find out much till when we got home and all was apparent this was going to be a war.
