The September 11, 2001 Attacks on America

Today is, unbelieveably, the 6th anniversary of the Spetember 11, 2001 attacks in New York City and Washington D.C. As a New Yorker, this day is hard to deal with. Please, share stories about what happened to you on that day. I will share mine later on, but please, I want to hear what other people went through, or thought about on that day.

This is a serious topic only. If you are going to make immature comments, leave, and never answer on this board.

Conspiracy theorists are welcome as well, because I would love to pick you apart with scientific facts, while all you throw back is peices from Loose Change. You insult my president, my deceased loved ones, and my city because you are a follower that believes anything Alex Jones or Charlie Sheen says, then feel free to get ripped apart by every single person that has lost a loved one on that day, such as I.

Anyways, please share your stories. Thank you.

people parade this too much, it was a horrific day, why celebrate it as a holiday?

I hear it's called Patriot Day, all we did is die. I do not see how we're big patriots today...DisturbedChild7

Sept 11th! Time to remind everyone of that terrible thing that happened!

If we didn't remind people, we'd forget it, just like people don't remember Peral Harbor or D-Day if the TV didn't remind them in the morning.

Oh, he means the other Sept 11. Yeah, that sucked.

what, are you sure?stevendiep_100

Yes, because today is exactly 6 years later, even falls on the same day.

Remember: Today is also the anniversary of the overthrow of the democratically elected Chilean government by a US supported and funded Dictator.

I was in grade 5. Right before I walked out the door (8:30 GMT), one of the towers crumbled. Because obviously, a plane hitting the top of a tower can make it implode on itself.Greedo_What

Here come the twoofers.

haggard, I can totally understand what you are saying. Another thing is that it is being used in movies, TV shows, books, everything. Were United 93 and World Trade Center really made to honor the dead? Or was it just a way to make Paul Greengrass and Oliver Stone even more money? But, I do understand what you are saying. I created this topic, because I want to keep the memory of lost loved ones alive, so that we can remember that every single person that died on that day, no matter what they did in their life, died a hero in America.newyork_graffit

I was lucky enough to not lose anyone I knew personally, and I think those movies came out way too early.Unlike the WWII movies, they're mostly all dedications, but they came out long enough to where people with relatives who were killedwouldn't be as sad of it (if that makes sense)

You insult my president...

I'm pretty sure your president insulted all the victims of 9/11 when he used it as an excuse to invade Iraq. And we all know how well thats going...

A mocking term for the bufoons that believe Loose Change and other assorted garbage.

I was in eighth grade. I saw the first plane hit on the news when I was getting ready for school, and thought it was a freak accident. by the time I got to school the second plane had hit, and everyone was getting picked up by their scared parents. I knew we had been attacked at that point, but I was just excited about getting out of school early.

As far as I'm concerned, September 11th is my dad's birthday. not "patriot day."

Hey, I'm not a twoofer. I can honestly say that I have never watched Loose Change because I doubt common sense exists in their tin-foil covered heads.

Here is my story.

My brothers birthday is on September 13. I lived in Manhattan at the time with my mother, because I was just a child at the time. Well, my mother excluded me from school, so that we could go shopping for my brother's presents. We decided to walk around Lower Manhattan, looking for stores with items that my brother might find interesting. We were walking on Freedom Avenue, when we heard what sounded like a plane engine. We then heard a loud crash, and people screaming. We looked up at the Towers, and saw that the North Tower was on fire. One of my cousins was in the North Tower, he was an employee at one of the companies then, and my mother called him. We got no answer. She called again. Again, no answer. Again. Again. No answer. We didn't know what had happened. We asked around, no one had seen what had happened. We were clueless. Time went by, and we heard, again, what sounded like a plane engine. We were looking at the World Trade Center at this time, and saw U.A. Flight 175 fly into the South Tower. One of my other cousins, who worked in the South Tower at the time, was in there. My mother didn't try to call, I guess she already knew they were both dead. Shortly after, firefighters began to show up. My uncle was part of the FDNY, and we quickly found him, and begged him not to go in there. He said it was part of his job, that he had to do it. He went in. When the South Tower collapsed, my uncle was already out of the building, so we knew he was alive. My cousin was nowhere to be found. He would never be found. My uncle went into the North Tower, figuring there was still many, many people inside. He went to rescue them. When the North Tower fell, he was not with us. We eventually found his body, along with my cousins, side by side. He tried to carry him out. A piece of rubble from the fallen Tower, hit me on my arm, nearly tearing it off. Another hit my head, knocking me almost unconscience. That day, I lost 4 relatives, most of the feeling in my left arm, and my spirit was crushed beyond repair. That is my story.

I was in 6th grade, and I remember not caring. But from then on I watched the news, and now I love the game of politics. Thanks, 9/11.supercubedude64

just in case your wondering about those tapes that the government kept secret, there is a reason they did

those tapes were being used in a criminal investigation. it is illegal to release tapes to the public that are being used in an investigation.

Dude your president is an idiot.

Why are we in Iraq? There aren't any weapons of mass destruction. Iraq never harmed the U.S., until we went in there, and are now stuck. Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11 either

Nope, not how it works. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. It's up to you to prove it was the government.

The idiot who made Loose Change thought that Matt and Trey secretly agreed with him.

First of all, don't call me dude. Second of all, he is your president. You don't like him, big deal, leave America. He is everyone's president, shut your mouth. The reason we are in Iraq, is because he attacking the terrorists. Even liberal yuppies know that al-Qaeda influence is largest in Iraq. You can say it's for oil, you can say it's for his own pleasure, I don't care. He is your president, he is every American's president. You don't like it, big deal, get out of America.newyork_graffit
