REMEMBERING 9//11 terrorist attack. was you shocked when it happened. WHERE WAS YOU?

Question

REMEMBERING 9//11 terrorist attack. was you shocked when it happened. WHERE WAS YOU?

Answer 1

I did 9/11

Answer 2

It was shocking, but most of the world knew something of this nature was eventually coming. I think that's the part that might be hard for younger people to understand.



The fact is that the U.S. went to war in the Middle East in the early 1990s. There was no real reason for them to be there. It was fairly obvious that it was about oil.



Even giving the U.S. the benefit of the doubt, that they should have been there, the fact is that they killed many innocent people over the next few years. Babies were literally starving to death due to U.S. sanctions against that part of the world. It's already a hard part of the planet to live. There is so much desert there.



Basically a lot of people had their lives destroyed. They saw their family killed, their houses and businesses destroyed, and meanwhile the average American paid no attention.



There were several terrorist attempts leading up to 9/11, a couple on the WTC itself.



So, when I saw it happening live on CNN, while living in Japan, while most people were still in bed in the U.S.A., it was crazy. I was glued to the TV. On the other hand I knew something like that was coming.



The really shocking thing though is how the U.S. reacted. They did exactly what the terrorists wanted - a big reaction. And it was obviously totally misdirected. We know that the people that planned, carried out, and financed 9/11 were Saudi Arabians, yet Iraq was targeted.



This has only led to more people hating the U.S. in that area. So many innocent people have been killed and the ones left behind have lost so much. Again, meanwhile the typical American is just going about life as if it's not happening. I can only think that another attack is coming.

Answer 3

I hate to say this but i deep down honestly feel that this whole 9/11 was carried out by Bush and company i think that whole administration carried it out. Mainly because those planes would have been shot down immediately before arriving anywhere near the towers. Also i saw a documentary about 7 years ago where a survivor stated that he heard huge explosions when he headed out the building he was only in the 15th or 20th floor so he made it out in the time, This means dynamites were likely already planted and if you see the destruction of those towers it's very hard to imagine a few planes doing that amount of damage considering the planes crashed at the top part of the tower and not the bottom.



Living in NYC i am sure many on here do not i will say on the day of 9/11 i was actually in manhattan in high school i was in the 10th grade now it wasn't no where near the world trade center because that area is way downtown however, we could still see the smoke all the way from where i was at the time. At first we thought it was just some freak accident by some pilot or something then we turned on the news and found out and it was just really heartbreaking. I am honest person and i am not going to hide away from the way i feel because i say what i think and what i feel i do not lie. I truly do think 9/11 was an inside job as do many other people but of coarse i have no definite proof though i would bet highly on it. I like to think that it wasn't a inside job but i just truly don't believe that and i stand with what i think is right.



May all of those poor people rest in peace truly a tragic and sad day.

Answer 5

I was more shocked by all of the after-revelations 2001 to 2015.



One constant in life is that earth is a shocking place, which I first discovered in late November 1963.



Since then it has never stopped. I think one major reason is that there is a completely new crowd of deceivable people every 25 years and they have been so programmed in public education to expect otherwise and are relatively trusting and innocent and could not imagine themselves carrying on in like manner, so they do not expect at all how evil the ruling elites actually are.



More than half of history is completely left out in schools and mostly in colleges too.



People are wisening up.* I think it limited to the intelligent upper half, with heavier understanding as one moves upscale therein. But the bottom half is still in the dark about most everything. Without the internet we'd be in the same place as 1960, some awareness in 15%.



The reporting of 9/11 was largely prepared in advance, like everything else that day. So where I was is of little import -- I had access to TV and radio only and was not in NYC or the two other affected places.



With all that, and even though I picked up on two highly suspicious happenings, I was mostly deceived, I am ashamed to say.



I am lucky to be older which is likely how I was able slowly to correct my entire understanding of what happened, a distasteful process that was necessary several times before in my long life.



*http://www.yourdictionary.com/wisen



"The ignorant always wisen up" might be an overly optimistic view though.



You ought to see what Canadians who were at least 35 years old in 2001 now think. That means all Canadians now age 50 or more, a better intelligence selection for profiling.



They really got their cords pulled with all of the flight diversions and bent over backwards trying to help.



What do THEY think now...?

[looking over the other answers it appears most here are STILL in the dark]

Answer 6

I remember it like it was yesterday. Weather-wise, in pretty much all of England it was a lovely, warm day. The kind of day where it's hot but a pleasant kind of heat. I was still in Secondary School and had been on something called 'Off-Site' which was basically bus trips for groups of children with failing attendance rates and/or behavioral problems. The tutor would plan her return route so that, following the end of the lesson, all along the way she could drop us off close to where we lived. I went home to find shots of either the first or second tower on television. I still have vivid memories of seeing the tower with dark grey/black smoke bellowing out of it. My mother said that something had happened in America, that it had been on the news all day and that the news reporter (Kirsty Young) husband was trapped inside and she [Kirsty Young] was worried.



As I continued to watch the news from then on I learned that it was in fact a terrorist attack. Details were still coming through even then and the overall 'picture' was still a mass of confusion. Terrorists hijacked a plane, how did they do that? They flew it into the World Trade Center, what is the World Trade Center, why would anybody do something so insane? Then came the news that it was officially being treated as a terrorist attack and an act of war against the United States of America.



I remember having a real fear and sense that this was the beginning of the end of the world.



Back then, particularly in the UK, most people weren't really acquainted with even the idea of Terrorism and especially not the global brand of terrorism that is sadly now commonplace. America was seen as untouchable, nobody knew why, nobody questioned why, it just was. In history class, particularly in the UK, we were taught predominantly about the middle ages and medieval times, with a vague washing over of WW1 and WW2 and the 'official version of events' of the Kennedy Assassination. In my school at least, we were never taught about the Cold War, Gulf War, modern military history. And so this created and further bolstered the image of an untouchable, all-perfect USA. Which is quite a terrifying thought, when you consider that a key argument against Nazism was the fact that it brainwashed students from a young age.



9/11 was and remains a terrible day in US history for the real and truly innocent civilians caught up in it, whether they were killed or are the families of victims or simply helped to wade through the wreckage and gather evidence and clean up the site for the eventual memorial. Politically, however, the US Government had it coming for a very long time. But that's the side of history that you have to discover for yourself, they don't teach you anything about that in school.

Answer 7

I had just woke up in the UK. It was a lie-in as it was afternoon UK time. I flipped on the news casually with a foggy head to see footage of a smoking tower. By the time I realised what had happened the second one hit. I was also asleep when July 7 happened in London. Even as a Brit, September 11 hits home more so despite being over 10 years ago whereas July 7 happened less than 5miles from my home and more recently. I think whether it was rigged or not, it played into Bush's hands allowing them to invade the Middle East and the event has gotten more media exposure than both the terrorists and the Puppet Masters could have dreamed of.

Answer 8

I happened to be working at a place where live feeds came into the UK. At first there was a sense that a terrible accident had occurred. Then there was the realisation that this was no accident but a co-ordinated attack in the heart of the USA.



Some of us are hardened to terrorist acts in our midst thanks to the actions of USA funded Irish terrorists in the 1970s. We were aware that this was a new experience for the USA and that the impact would be felt deeply .... and that was BEFORE the unthinkable happened and the World Trade Centre collapsed. Its particular design gave the terrorists a bigger result than they could possibly have imagined and caused more pain, panic and loss of life than the terrorists could ever have intended .... not that they cared how many they killed.



Of course it wasn't just the WTC they attacked but also the Pentagon, another symbolic blow against the USA.



Islamists struck a new low in human corruption that day. It was obvious the world could never be the same again. When we eventually turned away from the screens, we were all changed people and, for some people, their attitude towards Islam was changed for ever.



It should remind us all that NO religion has the right to impose its views on others and that ALL religious extremist act against the welfare of humanity and the exercise of personal freedom within an orderly society.

Answer 9

I lived in northern Virginia at the time...close to the Pentagon. My dad had to go there for meetings sometimes with his job, but thankfully didn't on that particular day. But that day was definitely shocking and scary. I was nearly 10 at the time, which is kind of the age where you start to realize the world can be a bad place, but you're still so innocent. I had never heard of terrorists before that day. My parents pretty much had to be honest and explain what happened since I knew something was terribly wrong (they had kept us in suspense all day at school...we could tell the teachers were upset about something and a lot of kids got picked up early by their parents but we weren't told what was going on). I remember seeing everything on TV and just wondering why people would do something so horrible. Even from a very young age, I had always had this fear of being trapped in a burning building and having to jump, so I remember watching in horror and feeling so bad for those people.

Answer 10

I was 5 years old. I remember I was in Kindergarten and all the teachers were crying, and everyone's parents came to take their kids home early, and we were happy about that. But we had no idea what was going on.



The loudspeaker played patriotic songs, while we all goofed off, pretending to be over dramatic. When I got home, my mom was crying and talking on the house-phone with her friend, and my dad was stuck in traffic going home.



As I flipped through the news channels, I imagined two guys who looked like the Red Baron from the pizza box were doing an air show and accidentally crashed into to some random buildings, but parachuted out in time. I didn't know that thousands of people died that day.



I didn't learn about 9/11 until 6th grade in 2007, when my teacher brought in a VHS tape about the French brothers who were trapped in the buildings.



Ever since then, I've been obsessed with learning about 9/11 and the WTC. Kinda like how people are interested in the JFK assassination.

Answer 11

I was 7 when that happened, and as I was waking up I heard on TV that 2 planes crashed through the WTC. We were all shocked indeed cuz nearly 3,000 people died at that time of the attacks. Couldn't remember much after that. Oh and it was 5:46am Arizona time when 9/11 happened. I will never forget this horrific day even 15 years later today.

Answer 12

I was in my junior year of high school, in my government course. Go figure. Another teacher ran into the room, demanding that we turn on the TV in our room. The first plane had already hit, obviously. We turned on the classroom TV a minute or so before the second plane hit.



Before the second plane hit, everyone was joking around like, "How can someone be stupid enough to fly a plane into a building so high?!"



But, when the second plane hit, everyone knew. It didn't require a TV pundit to tell us what was going on. The room went completely quiet. There were no more jokes to be told.



I was 15 years old. I remember watching the footage from the bottom of the WTC, and hearing the bodies hit the roofing. I remember watching the tiny little birdlike people jumping from the building from the far-away views. I remember people screaming, and crying, and being taken outside into the principal's office.



This was the moment I realized I wasn't safe. This was the moment I realized the US was not immortal.



The years that followed proved to me that the US was not a beacon for human rights. We were the (quite vengeful) judge and jury. As long as you shared the same skin color as our attackers, we were coming for you, whether or not your country had anything to do with the attacks.



It was heartbreaking. It IS heartbreaking. So many innocent people died, on both sides.

Answer 13

I was born 5 days after 9/11

Answer 14

The 9/11 terrorist attack happened when I was in school. I don/'t remember to much about it as I was pretty young at that time and in 1st grade. Now that I am grown up, I am totally shocked that it happened.

Answer 15

Was at work driving around in Boston delivering packages. This was before smartphones existed and cell phones were expensive, so communicated through my radio with the dispatcher of my package delivery service.



He suddenly calls me at 11:00 and tells me to turn on the radio. I said what's up? I thought it was a client that had complained about me, so I turn it on, cant find anything right away, just some people talking seriously, so I call him again and say What's up? My radio doesnt get a signal (I lied).



He said Its something really shocking. I cant really tell you. Trust me, you will hear about it on the news. Just go home, you are done for the day.



So I closed off, and headed home, and true enough, it was everywhere on the news.



I was fired the next week (unrelated) and after the market for package delivery became REALLY slow, I coudnt find work, the economy slowed.



That was my last real job ever.



I have a middle eastern appearance so those were some difficult years for us.

Answer 16

I was 13 when this happened, I was sat with my grandma (in Manchester uk) when we turned on the telly and seen the horrible news that some terrorists had flown in to the twin towers I remember my grandma crying (she's a muslim) and praying for everyone who were still inside the twin towers! Fast forward a few years and I believe it was all planned! There's far too much evidence to suggest it was an inside job! Although I'm not from America my heart still aches for all the families who lost a loved one that day! 9/11 will ever remain etched in my life, that day will never be forgotten, because that day bush killed his own people, so many innocent people lost their life! I'll never forgot those desperate people jumping out of the twin tower.

Answer 17

I was living in Australia at the time of the attacks.I was getting ready for work and I usually dont turn TV on in the morning but for some reason I decided to watch the morning news. I was half watching while getting ready and saw footage of a plane flying into a building. I thought it was a movie they were talking about and thought that it was very realistic and a well made film. As I watched I the truth dawned. I went to work in shock - as everyone else was when I arrived. I remember feeling that first week surreal and even at that early date felt many parts of it didnt add up. Like how the buildings fell like they were detonated and why did building no. 7 fall too? Still have real doubts.

Answer 18

I was in China, listening to BBC World Service at bed time. I figured "well, we bomb everyone else; it's not too surprising someone would seek revenge and bomb us!" Then I shut off the radio and went to bed. Slept soundly, too.



I'd just returned from a visit to the US, and had been struck how lax the security was at JFK and at Ronald Reagan airports, certainly compared with Heathrow or Orly, let alone Tell Aviv. I guess over-confidence is it's own reward!



Were I a conspiracy-minded person, I'd look at the after effects (like a police state in the USA, more profits for the M-I Complex, etc.), I'd suspect Cheney had paid Bin Laden to do the attacks, to excuse imposing a police state. But I don't truly believe Cheney could plan that far ahead. And certainly not "W"!

Answer 19

i was 1

Answer 20

I will never forget it because I was in 7 grade and was called a terrorist because I was Muslim. I grew up with that shock value as a kid because I did not even know the meaning of that word at time. People are so cruel. People who did not have anything to do with it, suffered more. That's when I found out this was not a fantasy Disney world.

Answer 21

I was 20 years old when it happened. I was on the couch (probably taking a nap) when my mother turned on the television. I don't know if she got a call about what happened, but the moment she saw the screen on, she looked in shocked at what she saw. I turned my head to look at the screen and witnessed a burning building. I didn't realize at the time that one of the Twin Towers was hit by a terrorist-hijacked airplane, but I was sure that I was shocked at the mayhem as I was. We both stared in horror as the other plane hit the other tower. Some time later, the entire structure crumbled as if it was already made of dust. I can still recall in horror all the people that had to run to safety that was caught on video. What a horrible sight!

9/11 became a cautionary tale of how terrible men can do the worst things to others and how we became stronger as we rise above it. Kudos to you, America, kudos.

Answer 22

I was about eight years old when this fake terrorists **** happened. I lived in Brooklyn at that time, and remember I was watching tv. At the split of a second, the tv turned into multiple colors, like a rainbow. Many innocent people died that day, and for what? Just to invade the middle east or some **** like that. I can't believe people still think this atrocity happened because a make believe mad man hated Americans. ****!! And no, George shitty bush wasn't the master mind behind this evil operation, he's just a puppet, like his cousin osama...I mean obama.

Answer 23

Bush did 9/11

Answer 24

I wasn't born yet. I was born a year and 3 months after 9/11. My dad was working only a few blocks away from the WTC. My dad told my mom who was at home to turn on the TV and watch the news, and my mom was shocked and concerned with what was going on as the second plane hit. Everyone was confused, my parents thought there was a gas leak or something exploded, but nope. My dad said he saw bodies jumping from the WTC in an attempt to not burn to death, phones lines were disconnecting, etc. Everyone from work was sent home, there was a lot of traffic, it was a scary day for everyone.

Answer 25

I was 4

Answer 26

It was carried out by the Republican government not the terrorists. No terrorist groups are so powerful and intelligent to reach a country like US without detecting.

Additionally, there were many 9/11 signs before the attacks like in Terminator movie

Answer 27

I was in the public library near my home in the UK trying to use the internet for some course-work, but everything was down (A lot of servers fell over because of increased traffic but I didn't know that then.) There was a report on the radio of a plane flying into one of the twin towers, which the librarian told me about. At that time we thought it was some accident with a light aircraft. I went home since I couldn't use the internet and then saw the news of the second plane on the television. Then everyone knew it wasn't an accident and the coverage continued with the fires, and a lot of people trapped jumping from windows rather than burn, or maybe they were just totally panicked, and then the first tower collapsed and there was this awful sense that we were waiting for the other one.

Answer 28

So, when I saw it happening live on CNN, while living in Japan, while most people were still in bed in the U.S.A., it was crazy. I was glued to the TV. On the other hand I knew something like that was coming.



The really shocking thing though is how the U.S. reacted. They did exactly what the terrorists wanted - a big reaction. And it was obviously totally misdirected. We know that the people that planned, carried out, and financed 9/11 were Saudi Arabians, yet Iraq was targeted.

Answer 29

I was 14 when it happened, at home at the time, told my parents i didn't feel well so i could have the day off school. I was up in the attic room watching a video and when it finished i flicked on the TV and it was on every channel, i think it was about 5 minutes before the South tower was struck that i started watching.



It's hard to say what i think really happened. Certainly the way the towers fell is suspicious, that near perfect vertical drop, but at the same time they fell like no controlled demolition i've ever seen. Watch any video of a controlled demolition and they're all performed in the same way; explosives destroy the base and the building simply drops from bottom to top. That's not what happened to the Twin Towers; any video you watch you can see that the base of the buildings don't move, the top section gives way and seems to just obliterate the lower floors on its way down.



I know there are plenty of reports of explosions at the base of the tower but even if they were true, the buildings didn't collapse in a way that suggests a controlled explosion carried out at the base of the tower. If explosives were used then they must have been placed all the way up the tower then detonated one by one from top to bottom. There are some videos that support this, highlighting small puffs of escaping air about 15-20 stories below the top section of the tower, moving down as the tower collapses. Simply escaping air being pushed by the towers collapse? Or venting explosions aiding the fall of the top section?



What intrigues me most is the Pentagon security camera footage and complete lack of plane debris at the site. The security camera does NOT show a large jet liner, but more like a small missile.



It's all very strange, but i doubt the truth will ever really be known. Every year i watch videos of that day to remind myself of the lives lost and saved, i try to ignore what may be the horrific truth behind the instigation of those events and try to focus on people coming together and the amazing acts of heroism that were performed.

Answer 30

I went outside around 7 in the morning and mowed my yard. I did it for about an hour, (had a push lawn mower at the time) and went back inside to take a shower and went back to back since I didn't have to go to work that day. While I had my television on, that's when the news reporting the planes crashing into the buildings happen.



It might sound strange, but on ever anniversary since 9/11, including yesterday, I mow my lawn to commemorate what I was doing that day before I found out the attacks happened.

Answer 31

I was 5

Answer 32

I was driving to work. I heard on the radio about a plane that flew into the Twin Tower. I figured it was a small plane, and just an accident. And later, they were talking about a second plane.



I was working at an insurance company in downtown Minneapolis. I would sometimes listen to the radio with headphones while in my office. I turned on the radio, and I was monitoring what was happening.



I remember telling my co-worker that the whole building fell down, and he couldn't believe it. I had a hard time believing it too. We did not have a TV available.



I'll admit, I didn't get much work done that day. I was totally distracted.

Answer 33

REMEMBERING 9//11 terrorist attack. Were you shocked when it happened. WHERE were YOU? Many people were in school learning to write using correct grammar. How about you?

Answer 34

I was teaching 3rd grade in inner city Philadelphia. An aide came in and told me there was a terrorist attack and we were going home early. I thought she meant maybe a hostage situation across the street and even went to the window to check it out. I should have known better since I didn't hear the news helicopters overhead. I went to the floor office to make sure I understood what was going on and that's when I saw it on the TV. It still wasn't making any sense. I went back and told the kids who did look scared. I explained that they weren't coming here but we were going home to be with our families so we could watch what was happening on TV. I told them there might be a crowd when we leave because parents had to come and get them so I asked them if they would tell me that they were leaving if we were separated. The dismissal was quiet and orderly and they did come to tell me they were leaving. It was strange.



I tried calling my fiance all the way home, but I couldn't get through. I just wanted to hear his voice. When I pulled into the driveway, I put the car into park without putting my foot on the break--the second time ever. I knew then that I was pretty upset.

Answer 35

Working.

Answer 36

I came back from School in 9/11 2001, I thought straight away that it was an inside job, I have done ever since.



No way Muslim "Terrorists" did that, remember that Syria was in Bush's "Axis of evil", Assad has done nothing what the media have accused him of doing. Look at Iraq today and tell me it's a better place than it was under Saddam. I find it sickening this "Blame the Muslims for everything" shtick....it's a cowardly tactic.

Answer 37

I was watching crossroads on TV enjoying end of semester holidays from Uni and the programme got interrupted with a picture of a building with a massive hole in it. I thought nothing of it at first. Then more info started coming in a plane went in. Ok. It's an accident I thought. It happens. Another plane went into 2 tower. What! Ok. Some fooker(s) did it on purpose. At the time I was 20. I was not a sympathetic or empathetic person at that time. When I watch the planes going in the towers on utube now I see it differently and feel sad. What evil levels humans can go to and how that one event changed the world forever. The events that happened after with war in Araq, bombing Afghanistan and the instability in the Middle East and subsequent birth of ISIS all have derived from that event. Osama went down in history and got what he wanted. People hating, fighting, killing and chaos.

Answer 38

What is 9/11 terrorist attack?

Answer 39

It was my birthday (I'd turned 11), and we'd finished school for the day (Year 6). My mum took me to her friends house to pick up some presents. At this time everything was normal. When we got home, I got changed from my school uniform and then went downstairs to put the TV on. I was expecting CBBC programmes but they were showing the footage of the attack, which I thought was a movie.



I then decided to try ITV for their kids' programmes. Again, I saw the weird movie, which confused me, because it was on 2 channels at the same time. You're probably going to think I'm a jerk for this, but I decided to stick Cartoon Network on rather than watch the 9/11 attacks...





Simples...

Answer 40

I was on the phone talking to a colleague in New York City. When I called him I did not know about the attack. He was watching it occur from his office window and describing it to me. At first we thought it was a terrible accident. Then the second plane struck. At that time we had no idea of what was going on so we hung up and started watching the news on TV.



I think there was a general sense of shock and we couldn't understand why anyone would do that. We couldn't imagine the hatred that caused this. It was a time when nothing made sense.

Answer 41

I was in HS when the attacks emerged. I was 14 years old and that time the life that I had was scarred forever. Bodies, Destruction and madness was traumatic; just imagine at 14 years old watching something that you thought it's a movie but it REAL. 15 years later I have a successful career but at the same time everything that we saw and endure on 9/11/2001 will never go away nor break our spirit. United we stand divided we fall.

Answer 42

I was having a day off sick from school (I was 9, and living in the UK). My Mum had me tucked up on the sofa and we were watching Crossroads when it was interrupted by this broadcast. My Mum told me I would never forget this day, because at the time I didn't really understand - it was almost like a scene from a movie. The actual atrocity of it didn't hit me. My Mum explained what the Twin Towers were and how iconic they were. I moved to NYC in 2014. I also remember this event being the first time I ever heard about terrorism.

Answer 43

I was off work that day, and had just taken my girlfriend (now wife) to work. I was listening to Mancow in the morning on the radio, and just as I pulled into my parking spot, Mancow said something like "okay, if you can get to a TV, turn off the radio and put on the TV, because it seems like a plane has just crashed into the WTC. This is not a joke, folks, try to get to a TV..." etc. I remember thinking, wow, that's in bad taste, I wonder what THIS gag is going to be, went inside, and was glued to the TV for hours. My wife and I didn't have cable at the time, so all I could watch was local channels. That night, after she'd gotten home from work, some guy going door to door to try to sell people on Comcast came by, and I decided that was the day to get cable.

Answer 44

9/11 gave many people the wrong idea about Islam, in fact Islam is the religion of peace and in Islam who ever heart another human being does not considered Muslim... So how could that be? Some are trying to give people the wrong ideas about Islam, when in fact Islam is against all those terrorists attacks!

Answer 45

I was 6 years old and in the first grade. I remember we were watching a childrens show (pretty sure it was "Reading Rainbow") and eating pretzels and apple juice. I remember being shocked, but couldn't really process it like an older person could. It's amazing how much we can remember when things like that happen!

Answer 46

No I wasnt shocked, mainly because I was a newborn.

But its heartbreaking after a few years when I learnt about what happened on 9/11.

Answer 47

I was at school in the cafeteria when we heard the news. I was only in the 6th grade. We were in the middle of eating our lunch when our teacher arrived early to tell us that a "Plane crash" had happened in Manhattan and if your parents commuted to that location to go to the main office to make a phone call to family to ensure they were okay. We lived in Eastern Pennsylvania. Many parents in the area commuted up to Manhattan for work.



When she said plane crash though, we all thought it was a tragic accident. We had no idea that more than one plane was involved, or that the World Trade Centers were hit, or that was it was a terrorist attack. Turns out the teachers were trying to hide the information from us, being only 6th graders, so they told us very little information. Classes resumed as normal for the remainder of the day. It wasn't until I made it back home that I realized the severity of what happened.



I came home and sat on the chair to watch Spongebob. My sister came in afterward and said "What are you doing? Turn on the news! This is really important!" And then she told me what was going on. Such a sad and tragic day.

Answer 48

I was 16, my sophomore year of high school. It was Spirit Week aka Football week. So, I was wearing my high school sweat shirt, I still have it. I remember getting out of P.E. and The Social Science class some of them going home over what has happened. Then I went to my math class, I did like 10 or 15 minutes of homework. But the next hour, we watched the events unfolded, the cell phone networks and internet crashes for the first time. So many people were trying to check on their families and friends. Then I had lunch, some students went home early, by the time I went to science, it was biology, they were instructed not to show any more or panic students by showing it. I and 4 others, were having panic attacks over what has been going on. For like 3 days, I just watched it on the news. Till finally, my grandma whom lived with us. Made me stop watching and came with a couple emergency plans for us and my mom, so I and my sibling would stop worrying so much. We still adhere them.

Answer 49

Well I was like 8 so I was at school when it happened, and then I saw it on the news when I got home from school.





I live in Australia, so thankfully none of my friends or family was there. I remember that my parents and all the adults were shocked and angry and sad for everyone who had died and their families. I didn't really fully understand the magnitude of what had happened at that time

Answer 50

I remember getting of work that day and everybody was at the gas stations and grocery stores lined up in a hording panic. The days that followed seemed pretty overblown as to the size and scope of the attack. I remember thinking 3000 people does anyone remember London during the Nazi Bliz... 5000 a day and their people would not back down!



I also thought Bush would be assassinated before he finished his term. People were pretty scared

Answer 51

I was 17 and I was at school. The second period was approaching its ending, when suddenly, the assistant principal spoke via the P.A. and he asked all teachers to turn the TV's on...



By the way, that Tuesday morning started off just like many other mornings did; however, starting at about 8:50 AM, everything was different...



(No, there is no need for anyone to correct me by saying that the first plane crashed at 8:46 AM because I stated the time when I first heard of what was going on...)

Answer 52

I was 8 Years old, in primary school around 2:30pm. ( I live in Northern Ireland)

Remember by teacher Mrs Napeir being called out of the room for a moment to speak to the prinicpal Mr O'fee.

She came back in with a strange look on her face, she then had to break the news to us all. i didnt quite understand the severity of it until i got home and put the tv on to see it with my own eyes. i felt sick to the stomach, it was like hearing about those stories from my own country regarding the troubles only on a much bigger scale!



Now to this day, having visited New York myself i still cant get over the huge impact it had on the world.



when i visited in June this year with my now fiancee (got engaged on staten island ferry) who lived in new york before and after the attacks, i felt an overwhelming sense of familliarity with the place, and i miss it terribly now.

The ominous feeling being at the Ground Zero Memorial pools, hundreds of people there, but silent, looking at all of the names of those that perished, still has a strong affect on everyone as it did 15 years ago, it didnt matter what colour everyone was, it was just being together sharing that moment that was the important thing.

Answer 53

I was at work listening to the radio when the news broke about a "small" plane hitting one of the Twin Towers at the World Trade Center near the top floors. Minutes later they said a commercial airliner had struck the Twin Tower. Everyone was in shock, especially when minutes later, a second plane had struck the other tower. I knew then that our country would be changed forever by these terrorists.

Answer 54

I was 2 years old and I don't remember it but my family was in Japan on the Air Force base when it happened and my Dad was mowing the lawn while I was inside with one of his friends and then a news broadcast came on the TV with the first building was struck. But like I said I don't remember the event because I was 2 but it is a tragic event and pray for all the lives lost that day.

Answer 55

I was 3 months out of college, and working my first career job. I was in the kitchen of my bachelor apartment brewing coffee and eating a bowl of Cheerios while getting ready for work. I was watching Good Morning America and it was on commercial break. The last commercial on break was a McDonalds commercial. Immediately after that commercial ended they went into breaking news at WTC. At first I thought it was an accident, but then the second plane hit. I never made it into work that day, and they dismissed early anyway. Just pure shock and awe that day. It felt like a bad dream.

Answer 56

On September 10th I quit my job in the WTC. I slept in on the 11th because I as I didn't start my new job until the next week. I would find out later that everyone I was working with just a day ago all died as the offices of the company were in the upper part of the building. I was kind of a mental mess for a few weeks thinking that if I would have stayed one more day I would not be here right now.

Answer 57

Well i am not used to that but ...this is almost impossible.the autoatack version.

Because hitting the tower means to colaps the plane ..to die..to suicide..or only a joke or comedy about hitler if not real..a man threw himself over the window.



So i heard this was the type of kamikaze.



It s not possible to hit by plane a building snd survive with just one wing..definetly bush s afministration wpuld mean hitlerized..and i don t jump at conclusions ..except the pilot victime not knowing for what who is acting..if a conspiracy took place....the arabs are very underculturalized so undeveliped psihic./.vulnerable of harming themselves.you need to reestablish your state in this case..my country is damaged by usa..and anyway usa has endured a large transformation is no lo ger able to continue the Age of oligarhy..which is dating back in time since independant war..considering done by arabs i wasn t extremly shocked..but i admit it was a surprise because i had no idea ab policy

Answer 58

I was at college and the teacher let us leave early and then went to a friend's home. I remember listening to the news saying the White House was safe because it was to low to the ground and it would be like finding a needle in a haystack then a short time later they said the Pentagon got hit which made me think what the ****. I told my friend who was pissed off ready to go a recruiter we should wait for all the evidence before joining because it may have been an inside job to justify war with Iraq so Bush Jr could finish where his dad failed at taking Saddam out of power.

Answer 59

I remember hearing about it on my way to work (California time). Yes it was shocking and because I worked with Veterans of WW1, WW2, Korea and Vietnam, it was the only thing anyone spoke about all day long. The big screen TV s were hauled out to play and replay the video of the attack again and again. Most of my veterans knew it would mean that young people, both men and women would be going to war and most were dismayed because they knew the horror that war would bring.

I will never forget that day.

Answer 60

At the time, I was just sitting down to eat my breakfast before going to work....I always turn the TV on for 'noise' while I eat. As I ate, I saw a plane flying into a building and thought I select the wrong TV station and it was just a movie.....it wasn't - it was REAL. I thought, dang we're at war with someone because they just attacked us.

I called my boss and asked if we were still working or not....he said 'yes' and knew nothing of the attack.

After that day and every time I had to show apartments to foreigners.....I stayed at the door and let them go in by themselves to look around.

Answer 61

I was 13 and I lived in Brooklyn, New York City. I walked into class assuming it was another Tuesday morning. But when my teacher told us a plane had crashed into one of the Twin Towers I was in shock. Planes aren't allowed to fly over Manhattan because of the skyscrapers. I assumed it was some sort of accident at first but when we were told yet another had crashed into the second tower, my anxiety started kicking in. Some of my loved ones worked there. My uncle and my dad's best friend. Thank God they came out safe but it's such a terrible event in US history, And I will never forget.

Answer 62

Where WAS we? And YA picks this as a top question.

I was on Long Island, about 40 miles away. My husband was working in the city, right across from the Emprie State Building. No one knew if they'd hit that next. He couldn't get home for a while because they closed all the tunnels and bridges and the trains weren't running.

Answer 63

I was 3.

Answer 64

From the critically acclaimed author of Anything But Typical comes a touching look at the days leading up to the tragic events of September 11, 2001, and how that day impacted the lives of four middle schoolers.



Ask anyone: September 11, 2001, was serene and lovely, a perfect day—until a plane struck the World Trade Center.



But right now it is a few days earlier, and four kids in different parts of the country are going about their lives. Sergio, who lives in Brooklyn, is struggling to come to terms with the absentee father he hates and the grandmother he loves. Will’s father is gone, too, killed in a car accident that has left the family reeling. Naheed has never before felt uncomfortable about being Muslim, but at her new school she’s getting funny looks because of the head scarf she wears. Aimee is starting a new school in a new city and missing her mom, who has to fly to New York on business.



These four don’t know one another, but their lives are about to intersect in ways they never could have imagined. Award-winning author Nora Raleigh Baskin weaves together their stories into an unforgettable novel about that seemingly perfect September day—the day our world changed forever.

Answer 67

was at work driving around in boston delivering packages... this was before smartphones existed and cell phones were expensive, so communicated through my radio with the dispatcher of my package delivery service...



he suddenly calls me at 11:00 and tells me to turn on the radio... i said what's up? i thought it was a client that had complained about me, so i turn it on, cant find anything right away, just some people talking seriously, so i call him again and say what's up? my radio doesnt get a signal (i lied)...



he said its something really shocking... i cant really tell you... trust me, you shall hear about it on the news... just go home, you are done for the day...



so i closed off, and headed home, and true enough, it was everywhere on the news...



i was fired the next week (unrelated) and after the market for package delivery became really slow, i coudnt find work, the economy slowed...



that was my last real job ever...



i have a middle eastern appearance so those were some difficult years for us...

Answer 68

It's in the past. Move on. When you think about it people die at a higher rate around the world. You're just feeling it more because it's happening to people in YOUR country. At the age of 7 I found out that I'm not the center of the universe and obviously, the US isn't as well. Grow the hell up already unless you want to feed off the hate to create more hate. What's even worse is the target of hate is misdirected, talk about ironic.

Answer 69

I was 13 years old when it happened. I live in the Midwest. I was in reading class when I found out about terrorist attacks. I was confused at first what happened. I had volleyball practice after school. Instead of practicing we talked about it and I understood what happened.

Answer 70

I wasn't born yet. But I was shocked when I first learned about it. I did tons of research and it made me very sad and I started to question the world a lot, but that's a conversation for a later date. RIP to all those who suffered that horrible day.

Answer 74

I live in Ireland.

I had come home from Night Shift, everything was fine with the World and I was in a blissful sleep.

I rose later and turned on the TV, I could see the South Tower on fire.

As I was watching I could see the second plane approaching.

It then hit, and it was like so surreal.

My heart sank along with the Towers that evening.

I find it very hard to trust a Moslem.

Answer 75

The most shocking thing for me about 9/11 are all the idiotic conspiracy theories - including such as it was an inside job carried out by the US.gov or that it was a demolition job following an explosion inside the building.



Yet we can all see first one plane and then another flying headlong into the Twin Towers.

and remember - "You can fool some of the people some of the time, but you cannot fool all of the people all of the time."

Answer 76

I was in second grade. I was 8 at the time. I will never forget that day, I think everyone who is old enough to remember at all can tell you where they were. Teachers kept pulling my second grade teacher out of the room to talk to her. Several hours passed and many of my classmates began to leave. I thought it was odd that by noon well over half the class had left. Finally my mom came to get me around 12:30 and that's when I found out and saw it on the news. I will never forget that day.

Answer 77

Doing research in the Library of Congress. A librarin I knew whispered to news to me almost as soon as the second tower was hit, but her attitude was of its being an happening in a faraway northern city "of which" in Chamberlain s notorious quote bout Czechoslovakia, "we know little." But then the Pentagon was hit and it immediately became a real, local, problem, and the whole city went into panic mode. I took that last Metro back to my hotel, then took lunch at a restaurant in Arlington, just one stop from the Pentagon. The young pulchritudinous waitress found me a seat where I could watch the reruns of the attack on TV, with a comment whose perspicacity in one so young did amaze me: "Well, we ve been doing things like that to other folk so long that I suppose we had it coming," and we went on to discuss the US Navy s downing of the Iranian civil air liner. .

Answer 78

I was at the stable, looking after my horses. The owner of the stable said her adult daughter was upset and was coming to the stables-a plane had flown into a building in New York. I thought she meant a personal plane that accidentally hit a building.

It was some time later that I realized what it really was.

I did not know until today that the fighter jets sent up to bring Flight 93 down had no Sidewinders. The only way they could have brought it down was to fly their own planes into the tail section.

Answer 79

I was about 3 years old, and I was in Connecticut, only a few counties over from NYC. I remember that I was watching sesame street, and my mom says that me and my twin brother called her in, saying that the TV wasn't working (the antenna for the channel had been on the WTC, coincidentally). She then walked back into the family room, where she had been watching the news, and saw that a plane had crashed into the tower.

Answer 80

I was 17yrs old, just starting college.. Some guy in my class was like, "did you watch the news this morning"? Me: "Nope"... An airplane crashed into the world trade center in new york!! Me: *shocked/confused/face kinda going a bit numb* "what??? are you serious????"...



You could tell the guy was absolutely serious too.. They had put tv's in the hallways afterwards and several students were gathered watching the news on there..



The next day i was walking to school and at one intersection there were flashing yellow lights. My friend was like, 'thats wierd; flashing yellow lights. I wonder if that has anything to do with the plane crash" We live in Canada... Me: "laugh"

Answer 81

I was in first grade and it was a very sad day in school. I remember not Really knowing what was going on and our school was on lockdown and the teachers turned on the news and it was kind of just a silence because the teachers knew what was going in and it was just awkward. We couldn't leave classrooms and i remember all doors being locked. I live in Ohio and we have GE (general electric) and I remember our state declaring a shut down emergency because they thought we were going to get attacked next. Very sad day. :(

Answer 82

I wasn’t born yet...but it was a very depressing day. Some people were lucky while others were not.

B.A.M.B.I.(Back at my Base Instellation) I was still an Airmen in rank back then. If I had stripes or not, who knows? Many years ago. Many years since I retired. Not really. Just another day for me. Were glued to the TV, but life was still the same. People already were freaking out. Just not my thing.

Answer 84

I was nine years old getting ready for school. It was 6 something in the the morning. Im in California. I remember not really comprehending what was going on on the news. I just saw repeated videos of the twin towers falling down. My mom hugged me a lot because I had just flew home from Ohio by myself 3 days prior to that happening. When I got to school my teach explained to us what was going on...

Answer 85

I was in an auto repair shop, waiting for my car to be repaired.

The shop had a TV there so that their customers could watch it.

I was watching my car repair, not the TV when I heard someone scream.

When I looked up at the TV, the first plane had just hit the building and I saw

the second one do the same.

I almost immediately got sick to my stomach and almost cried, because I could

see the damage that was done and knew that many in those building had or would die!

Answer 86

I was beginning my senior year of high school. I was in 3rd period gym class and it was only our first day of class (we had a 5-day schedule) and we were sitting on the bleachers outside waiting for our teacher to come give us the schpiel on the locker room, etc., when he came out and told us something terrible had happened and we needed to go inside. We had to stay in our 3rd period classes until further notice and found out because the gym teachers were watching the news in their office. I live about 30 minutes from NYC and throughout the day all the kids with parents working in the WTC, FDNY, NYPD, etc. were called down to guidance and would come out hysterically crying and shaken up. It was 2001 so not everyone had a cell phone, those who did lent it to others to check on family members. What a terrible day.

Answer 87

I was 3 years old and it was my birthday. I am born on 9/11

Answer 88

of course I was shocked, I was home because I worked 2nd shift, just got up and put on the news and was glued to the tv........it wasn't til days later when I seen the video of bldg 7 go straight down ,just like a demolition did I know it was pre-planned, and of course the cover story just acted as if it actually fell due to fire.....people are in denial, because to think otherwise would be too much for them to handle, just like in the movie...."YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH" !!! and he sure was right about many of the American people. I wasn't there, never witnessed it first hand, but that was a FALSE FLAG attack, and if you believe otherwise, you are just in denial cuz you likely can't handle the truth....perhaps are too innocent.......and probably never read [ operation northwoods ] and just are in a different reality of fluff......

Answer 89

I was at home in a Los Angeles district when this false flag event occurred. It was clear--from the start--that something very screwy was going on. And, this was certainly corroborated by the Bush-Cheney-Rumsfeld PNAC based attacks on Afghanistan and Iraq. Essentially, EVIL INCARNATE!!! (Had nothing to do with young Islamists with a few hours of flight training, and box-cutters!!!)

Answer 90

I was then an employed public servant.

My immediate supervisor reported that

our National Capital had been attacked.

I continued with my assigned duties.

No additional instruction changed that.

I believe this was a correct response

and one that the public expected from

my time with their dime. I've retired,

thank you, and a National Flag outside

my residence can answer this as well.

Answer 91

At work in the UK sitting 3 desks from a colleague who was talking on the phone to a person on the top floor of the first tower hit at the World Trade Centre.

We had CNN and the New York Web cams up very quickly.

Answer 92

I was in sixth grade when the attacks happened. I remember being at school when we got the news and the school sent us all home early. When I came home my mom was watching TV and crying. She told me to come watch, I said no. She said it was going to be apart of out countries history, but I didn't really get it at the time. So I went upstairs and watched cartoons.

Answer 93

I remember that Arab and Muslim families pulled their children out of government public schools because of the threats they took from some right wing americans. Plus they feared that they would be bullied and called "terrorists". May god never allow this tragic event to happen again

Answer 94

I was 18, a freshman in college, from the east coast, but attending a west coast school. I was in my third week of being away from my family, who were all living on the east coast.



I was also on pacific time. This part of the world was still asleep while this happened. I was awoken by a very loud banging on my dorm door. It wasn't yet 6am. I was asleep on the top bunk and wondering why my roommate wasn't getting up to answer this crazy knocking. Someone - a voice of a new friend - was calling my name to wake up, NYC was being bombed. I honestly thought I heard wrong. I finally got up to open the door. I remember I was really annoyed about it. I thought she must be drunk. I also had my first calc exam later that day, which she knew I was worried about.



I opened the door and my annoyance immediately was replaced by concern. My friend quickly barged in. She was yelling, almost hysterical, acting like she'd already had a million cups of coffee. She was telling me to turn on the TV. This was when I realized why she'd knocked on MY door. On our floor my roommate was the only one that had brought a TV. I was also the only one from the east coast.



My friend explained her parents had called her just moments before and said we were being attacked and it was on TV. She said it was the WTC and I am embarrassed to say that I immediately relaxed upon her saying that. To east coasters, terrorism became a thing in the 90s. Bomb threats were a regular occurrence through middle school and high school. I also remembered the 1993 WTC bombing and had been to the WTC myself since that bombing. I remember thinking these terrorists must be idiots to attack the same target. I still really didn't grasp why my friend thought this was reason to wake me up before 6am on the day of a calc exam.



By this point, though, my roommate was also up and she was fully alert, turning on the TV. Her parents were in the military.



And then we began to watch the Today Show. They were talking about unconfirmed reports a plane hit the WTC. It looked insane. It just looked insane. I had been to these buildings. I knew what they meant to NYC. I knew how freaking massive they were. I had been inside one and remembered how I felt like I didn't belong there, with all these fancy clothed people rushing to elevator banks, looking important.



In my dorm, the three of us were standing up, watching it unfold before our eyes. At one point we argued about whether some pilot had a heart attack or a seizure and flew into the building... It was still dark outside for us, but by then 5 other people had funneled in to the room too because they'd heard all the knocking. It truthfully feels o me now like an hour had passed, but it hadn't even been 10 minutes.



Then, we all watched in my tiny dorm room as the second tower exploded in real time. I will never, ever, ever forget that moment. None of us were arguing anymore. We couldn't believe what we were seeing. There were some people that just screamed. There was crying. There were many "oh my gods" and "what is happening" and "why are they doing this". Fear. I remember fear.



I remember a friend and I just started hugging each other so tightly after this. We hugged like our lives depended on it and we'd known each other for less than a week. As we hugged each other, she whispered in my ear something I will also never forget, "They will blame us for this...they are going to blame us for this..." She sounded so, so terrified and looked as scared as all the people looked in New York. You see, her parents had escaped Iran during the revolution. She was a first generation muslim American. That is what she meant.



The phone lines were overwhelmed. No one could make any calls. I couldn't get through to my family. Cell phones were not a thing then. All the family I had were scattered between the cities of NYC and Philly and we really didn't know what else was in store for us at this point. My mind seriously kept flashing to scenes from Independence Day where the aliens destroyed even the smaller cities. Would these people attack cities like that too? My city? Philly? We simply didn't know. These first few hours of uncertainty were the worst. For a while, we simply didn't know if we even had a country or a government any more. Were we being invaded? Were there more attacks coming? Did they have nukes? Where was the president? All of these questions were very real for a few hours this day.



We had a curfew on campus that night. Class wasn't canceled though. Everyone failed the calc exam and that was the least shocking thing about 9/11.

Answer 95

I was in bed. I believe I first saw the first hit and the second come later.

I was about to set off on a geographical move from CA to CO. I saw the 9/11 events as a transparent attempt to stop me in my tracks. I made the move despite the national emergency. Of course I also heard about it on the radio.

Answer 96

Was only 1

Answer 97

I was only 2 years old so I don't remember much, but I remember being in my apartment and dad just left to work and suddenly my mom started panicking and crying and my dad came home right away, and I remember seeing the buildings on TV but that's it.

Answer 98

I was at work.

An odd silence came over the building. No one about.

I went down the hall and round the corner to another office and there was a TV on and I saw the plane hit the second tower.

I knew the towers would collapse.

I saw both towers collapse on live TV.



I knew that the USA that I grew up in and loved was mortally wounded.

Answer 99

I was in 3rd grade I believe when it happened. We came in to school and the teacher put that on TV (CNN I believe), we sat there not really understanding (we were kids, how could we?), then word came down that all schools in town were closing immediately and parents were to come pick their children up or make arrangements for pickup, I dont think we were at school more than an hour.....

Answer 100

I live in Slovenia and I had been at work in my office. I remember first news about something terrible going on in New York comming in at about 2 pm. At first there were reports of a smaller plane crashing into the tower of the WTC. As the situation developed further, more news started to come in and I remember we were all stunned watching the evening news as the Apocallipse unveiled itself before our eyes. I remember thinking, that could have happened to me in my office, I could have been like those poor people hoplessly vawing their shirts in the 82 nd floor as no one could come to their rescue. That was trully cruel and horrific event...

Answer 101

I was , (and still am) a New Yorker, living in a small, remote town in Italy. On Sept. 11, 2001.......I was putting my infant son down for his regular 2:30pm naptime.



Having a minute of peace........I made myself a cup of tea.....and flipped on CNN to see what was new with the rest of the world.



They were *JUST* breaking in with the news of the first tower.....which, needless to say, caught my full attention since I use to work in the complex, and my sister *still* worked there .



So, I was watching events unfold . *LIVE* as they were happening , from half a world away. I actually saw, LIVE, as it happened, the second plane swoop in, and smash into the tower. I couldn't believe my eyes.



The guy on tv was talking to the camera with his *back* to the Towers in the background, and *didn't* see it. He hears the explosion, and turns around, and then starts babbling about "secondary gas explosions"-



I was actually, literally shaking the tv yelling............NO you damn FOOL!!!! It was a HUGE airliner!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rewind the TAPE!!!!!!!!!!!! Play it again!!!!!!!!



He kept babbling for like 10, maybe 15 minutes.....until some wise chimp finally had the same idea, and replayed the tape..........and there is was........big as life...........the second plane.



I frantically tried calling my sister, but already all lines were jammed or dead. I couldn't get thru..........so I called my Brother in New Hampshire to ask if he had heard from her.



He didn't have the tv on, and wasn't even aware of what was happening.



I screamed "TURN O N THE DAMN TV!!!!!!!!!!!"



and I remember he asked........"what channel?"



ALL O F THEM you damn fool.!!!!!! Any one of them!!!!!!!!!!!



and together, we watched events unfold......over the phone.



When the first tower fell...........Oh. My. God.



he just dropped the phone........and the line went dead.



Somewhere in all that, was our sister.



Luckily.....although she went thru sheer hell that day........she was one of the lucky ones who survived.



My friend, Fire Lt. Glenn Perry.....was not so lucky, and perished.



American tv made a decision to stop showing all the Jumper footage after the first day. The news stations in Italy, and Europe had no qualms, and played that footage for MONTHS. To this day, I don't think Americans are even aware of just how many people actually jumped, or fell trying to save themselves.



To those who don't live in New York, or never visited the Towers.....I don't think they can truly grasp the scope and size of the disaster. The total square acreage of the area totally obliterated in the heart of New York City. Those two huge Mammoth buildings.....just GONE, in a matter of seconds.



Maybe it means nothing to other people in the rest of the country or the world.............but New Yorkers..........will NEVER forget. NEVER .

I was flipping through the cable channels and saw that there was a new channel and started watching what I thought was a movie.

I started to cry and called my sister who was at work in down town Pittsburgh. She worked on the 23ed floor. She told her coworkers and asked to keep her up to date on what was happening. When the plane went down in Shankville, she called to let me know they were evacuating town and she was going home.

Answer 107

I ended up sitting in bed watching the news for hours when I was awake enough and able to understand that something really awful was happening.

for many remembering 9/11 we be from how they see us (those who remember) remembering it. There will be many that were too young, or not ever born yet, so their only memory will be in how they see us remembering it.

Answer 145

I was home with a massive migraine that day, no TV, no radio, no nothing but lying in bed with the room dark and really quiet music on a CD to help me relax, so I didn't find out about it until my husband came home from work. He started telling me about it and when he said that both of the Twin Towers had collapsed, I got angry and told him it was a sh***y joke. He just looked at me and said it wasn't a joke.



My mom lives with us, and she'd gone to Arizona on the 10th, so her bedroom was empty. I got into her bed and watched coverage pretty much non-stop for the first 24 hours after I found out about it. I was both sad and furious because I am Arab American and I had no doubt right from the start that it had been done by Muslim terrorists. It's awful when you love two different cultures, and a small, rotten element in one attacks the other one. For that matter, it's awful when that same, small, rotten element attacks others of their own, as Daesh is doing right now to their fellow Arabs and Muslims.



I was shocked, yes, and I'll tell you what the most horrible thing was for me in all of it. It was bad enough that I had to watch the film over and over again of the planes crashing. It was awful watching the bodies of jumpers coming down. Watching the buildings collapse still makes me cry. But for me, the absolute worst part of those first few days was watching the film from all the hospitals in New York City. Everyone had called all their off-duty staff in so they'd be ready for the injured, and they kept showing these shots of hospitals, with all the extra staff people milling around outside the ERs waiting for the injured to roll up in ambulances, and they never did. If every hospital in New York City had been overwhelmed with injured people, and it had been a mess, it would have been easier for me to watch than all of those nurses and doctors standing around looking at each other with fear and worry on their faces. When you have so many casualties that hospitals are madhouses, it at least means that someone has survived. Watching and waiting and finally realizing there weren't massive numbers of injured people being taken to hospitals made me feel physically ill, because it only means one thing--the majority of people died at the scene.



Later, a lot of people said to me, "You were right--we were vulnerable to attack." I had known for years, and especially because I'd lived in foreign countries, including Egypt, that our widespread freedoms in the US made us especially vulnerable to terrorist attacks. You learn that when you've been in countries where there are men standing around with AK-47s cradled in their arms when you're just going about your day. They are really a frightening sight for Westerners who are not accustomed to the heavily armed being visible in large numbers in case something bad should suddenly happen, but there's also a weird kind of comfort in it. After the WTC was attacked in 1993, I told people it would happen again, but that I didn't know where or when, just that it would. People told me I was a scaremonger with a negative attitude and no faith in humanity or anything else. Later, people wanted to know how I'd known it could happen in the US, and apologized for having doubted me.



Watching my country lose its innocence was the bitterest pill I've ever had to swallow, and that kind of thing is absolutely the worst kind of prediction to see come true--there's nothing in it but heaviness and a leaden feeling in your heart and endless waves of sadness for everyone.

Answer 276

Hanging my laundry when my youngest son called me to tell me about it. He enlisted in the Army, my other son was already in the Air Force. My youngest did 3 year tours in Iraq, he was wounded. He survived 4 IED explosions & he now suffers from Traumatic Brain Injuries & PTSD. Most of the times he can`t sleep. My other son`s wife did a 1 year tour & was injured while giving medical assistance to an enemy soldier there. Their marriage broke up, she is struggling but she`s much better now. I thank God for bringing them back & healing them. The daughter of 2 of our friends, who happened to be 1 of my students, was coming home on leave after being in Fallujah 6 months, the helicopter she was in was shot down by the enemy. One of her friends, another former student of mine was assigned "clean up" duty of that helicopter. At the time she did not know that she was picking up what was left of her friend`s body among the remains of other soldiers there.

God heals & time moves on, but I will never, ever forget what the Arab Moslems have done to those in the Twin Towers & to our soldiers in Afghanistan & Iraq. I will also never, ever forget the politicians whose actions & or lack of action brought this calamity & loss of so many, especially our soldiers, so young & full of life & laughter. What they have done for us & our nation cannot ever be compensated or paid for.

Yet at what these filthy politicians are doing to them still, the senseless imposition of "Rules Of Engagement" which have cost the lives of many of our young soldiers, but they will answer when they stand in front of God`s Throne on Judgment day. I pray that God will make their evil actions known to Americans & the world.

I have seen & heard of staff members of the Veteran`s Hospitals renounce their posts because they can`t see how our government is treating our Veterans there, the ruthlessness & lack of morals of Administration officials & staff who bargain for position & money through corruption.

A press member should be at Veterans hospitals investigating the most disgusting means of corruption employed by many who work in these hospitals, the lucrative contract sell-outs, bribes & favors in exchange of money; a den of low class thieves who should not be there at all.
