Everyone remembers where they were and what they were doing on 9/11. I was at home. My mom woke me up to tell me a plane had hit the WTC. I turned the TV on and watched for a few minutes then went to take a shower. When I had gotten out of the shower the second tower had been hit. Then we got in the car to drive to school and we turned the radio on to listen to what was happening. On the way there the first tower collapsed. I think at this point my mom started crying because she is pretty emotional. At school everybody was talking about it of course and I watched the news coverage in little bits throughout the day. Some teachers had it on, others didn't. The last thing I remember about the day is my football coach giving a little speech at the end of practice. I don't remember exactly what he said except something about going after Afghanistan.

Standing at the service counter of Jiffy Lube in La Quinta, CA. I was selling an air filter to an older guy in an 1988 Caddy El Dorado. It was a clean car with 30K on it at the time, I remarked how clean the car was, then heard the report on the AM radio in the car. Stopped what I was doing. Clocked out, and went home to my family. Proceded to watch TV for probably the next 20 hours straight in utter dismay. -
I was in high school Law/Gov't class. My teacher basically said to us, "I told you so...the US was asking for this fucking shit to happen."
I'll bet 80% of Americans have forgotten about this tragedy and just think it's another Tuesday, those 20% being the people who actually lost family. Other than that, nobody gives a fuck because deep down, we know we deserved it.
Compared to many other developing countries, 9/11 isn't a big fucking deal. When people are roaming the streets freely with assault rifles, it really puts shit into perspective. US citizens are whiny bitches.

I was on a field trip to the statue of liberty, with my eighth grade class. there were 32 of us. 4 teachers. we were probably halfway up when all chaos broke loose. i was reading a poster about how the statue of liberty came into americas possesion.
We all ran outside and there was chaos everywhere. people screaming, pointing, crying, staring. I just stood there, not able to comprehend what happened. Kids started crying. those few lucky kids with cell phones called parents. the teachers hurried us to the hotel. we stayed there watching the news til the next morning. my mom called to make sure i was ok.
I was close. it was scary. I thanks god that no one i knew was in those buildings.Comment

Just finished a pre-flight and flight plan. Looked at the "national radar" after the news and saw only 10 planes flying before our radar was shut down.
A friend of mine got grounded in Pensacola. He went to the store, bought beir, took it back to his hotel room, filled the tub with ice and got drunk. We were grounded for 3 days before they allowed our company to fly again.Last edited by FL318is; 09-11-2007, 10:49 AM.Comment

Are you fucking kidding me? "We deserved it"? We deserved it, because as a society, we seek to be progressive and insure an amazing quality of life and standard of living even for our "poor". Where someone making 23k/yr with 2 TVs, an apartment and a car is considered in poverty. We deserved it because we have a society of laws and protections that allow us to voice our opinions, no matter how backwards and retarded they may be. We deserved it because we're a first world nation that creates and exports culture and values. They hate us for our prosperity.Originally posted by BrandC View Post
Fuck that. It's not our fault that they follow some bullshit raghead religion that states you live in the mud and caves like the rest of the world did a thousand years ago. That you batter your women, that you dismember a man for a small transgression. It's not our fault they follow this false dogma that states their only way to salvation is to commit suicide and murder the innocents in the ultimate act of cowardice. Islam is a plague apon the western world. Left unchecked it will be a cancer that kills us.
I don't want to hear this bullshit about "moderate" islam - it doesn't exist. I don't see mass condemnation for Bin Laden, Al Qaeda and the other various islamofascist groups. I don't see an outrage for a group that allegedly "hijacked" islam. Why don't you see it? Because it isn't there. Bin Laden and such didn't hijack anything, Islam is what they are.

I was in high school biology - 2nd period. We all went to the dance room to watch it on TV. I think everyone went home that day."We praise or find fault, depending on which of the two provides more opportunity for our powers of judgement to shine."Comment

I was getting ready for school, my parents were watching tv and saw it, so I went into my living room to watch it too. I just remember the confusion, no one really knowing what was happening at first. Then going to school and everyone was talking about it, still confused... It was weird..
PS: Im not the 80% that just forgot and Im not 20% that lost a family member. Thats total bs.
