Your 9/11 Story

Basically 9/11 for me did actually detoriate my views of America... When I saw the ways a lot of people reacted I felt confused. The way people were like "Let's nuke the entire middle east" or "I think Osama should be tortured for the rest of his life" I felt sick. In history we watched this video on Osama, about his views and how the U.S. empowered him, and I honestly felt sympathy for him. I mean, I think he had just reasons to declare his war on America.

Why shouldn't he? We did him a lot of wrong from what I understand.

As for attacking civilians and not playing "fair", isn't that how America won the revolution (by not playing fair). As for killing civilians..... Native American massacres come to mind, and then of course there is slavery.

So when people started going around throwing their American flags up I felt kind of disgusted with the country, and peoples attitudes.

That's still lingered....Hopefully I don't get questioned by the NSC or something now...LOL But that's my 9/11 story.

I think americans were justified in there anger and while some take it to the extreme the majority were calm and collected on there anger of terrorist.

I was out of work and had an interview scheduled at CNN that day at 2P. I was woken up by a tearful call from my mom telling me what had happened. Understandably, a bit later I got a call from CNN asking to reschedule my interview. That evening, I went to my local watering hole and watched the news with a bunch of the regulars there.xaos

Wow a local watering hole, do you live in friggan middle earth?

There are no rules in war... If you start losing you don't let yourself get conquered by the next Hitler do you?

You kicked our buts by playing the rules so good...Here's the keys to our nukes...."

but your original post is still full of phail. I still affirm that resolution

I was 11 and in 6th grade. I was in my first or second period class when an announcement was made saying that a plane had just crashed into the second WTC. I wasn't paying attention much, and i had no clue what the WTC was, so i didnt really care. I didnt get out of school early though. I lived in Carlisle, PA btw.

I do remember a large amount of student leaving though. The teachers didnt talk about it at all though, i guess they were told not too. Maybe they didnt know much either. Anyway, the base near us became much harder to get in. They increased security a lot.

I remember my mom was saying this was a big deal, and i didnt think it was. She had a shocked look on. My friend and i then went outside to play basketball.

I was 8 years old in 3rd grade. Everything was normal in school until I saw my teacher looking out the window with tears in her eyes. I wondered what she was crying about but figured it was something personal so I just said "Meh.". So, the day went on and it was time for recess. Yay! But the monitors, who I really friggin' hated, said that we couldn't go outside. All the kids were yelling and screaming and having a fit asking "Why?!". And the monitors said the grass was wet, which we all knew wasn't true because it was beautiful outside. When we got to our classroom for indoor recess, we asked our teacher why we couldn't go outside. And she told that something terrible happened in New York City but she didn't know what, which was obviously a lie. So, day continued as normal. Usually I went to an after school program because my parents weren't home but we were told that all after school programs were cancelled. So, I went home on the bus and of course, everyone on the bus was wondering what had happened. I remember one kid saying something along the lines that "a lot of cars were crashing in New York City"...:|. When I got home, my dad was there because he came home from work early and he told me what had happened. It didn't really phase me because of how young I was. I look back at it now and I wonder why the hell we were not sent home early, especially since I live 30 minutes from New York City.

I also remembered that we were getting new windows put in our living room that day. And one of the men who was putting them in was also a firefighter in New York City. And he had to watch as the second building collapse with some of his friends still inside.

i was in 7th or 8th grade i heard the intercome say have a moment of silence for a plane crashed into world trade center, everyone was like what what? everyone talked about that, my parents got home earlier we watched the news.

in high school every year we woudd watch a movie on twin towers. about the fire men who was in training and o their first day the twin towers got crashed.

I had just started my second year at college. I live in NY and was on my way to school in Brooklyn. I was taking the bus and could see the black smoke across the sky coming from Manhattan. I didn't realize what was going on until a passenger on the bus asked where the smoke in the sky was from and some lady said it was from a plane that crashed into the WTC. When I got to school (which was near the Brooklyn Bridge) I could smell the smoke coming from across the river. I went to the library still not fully aware how bad the situation was.

A few minutes later, I saw that the smoke had changed from black to white and I went downstairs where there were some tv's and saw a crowd of students, many of whom were crying and looked at the moniters and saw what was left of the WTC. I ran up to the last floor so I could peer out one of the windows across the river and saw many students had the same idea and crowded them up. I went outside to go home (all classes were cancelled) and could smell the white smoke that was wafting all around. I hung around for a bit because many of the buses were too crowded to get on. Being that the bridge was so close I saw the people that had walked across. I saw many of them covered in dust from head to toe, some had blood on them and all pretty much had a look of shock on their faces. I managed to hop on a bus a couple hours later (the driver let everyone ride for free) and got home. Turned on the tv and stayed up late watching the news broadcasts.

This may sound like like I am being a jerk, but my 911 story isn't so emotional as most. I had been doing research on the genocide in Burma the week before and was so shocked at it and how long it had been going on for that when I saw the news of 9/11 I of course felt bad for the many people who had died on American soil, but I didn't feel as sad as most would think I should have been. Looking back on it I see it in a very different way from most. I had been almost numb to tragedy since knowking about the Burma Conflict and all the other terrible things going on in the world that I couldn't bring myself to feel as much for the 9/11 tragedy.

Even though I was young I already knew soo much about how terrible some parts of the world are that 9/11 did not really affect me. America had never really had an incident as horrible and Tragic as many places in the world that they were overcome with grief, which i totally understand seeing how you are not used to it. But when so many other tragedies happen around the world almost daily I find it hard to see 9/11 as the worst tragedy ever as I have heard others call it. I am not trying to make it seem less important or sad, I just want you guys to understand my veiw on the matter:)

Nobody cares about your story unless you lost someone that day (or something similar that effected you in a deep way). Other wise stop complaining. Oh no, you woke up and heard America was under attack and your life changed forever. Get over yourself.yabbicoke

I'm going to go ahead and use this logic on you. No one cares about you or what you think.

I was in the 8th grade. When it happened I was in the 1st hour, which was gym. All gym class I was thinking abut this chat that I was going to have later that day. I had gained a spot in a private chat with Matt Hoffman, because I was really into BMX at that time. I wish someday I could meet him and ask him about that and be "I was one of the kids who was going to chat with you that day". It ended up being cancelled because of the events, though. I still have the piece of paper that I wrote on a week earlier saying "Sept 11th. 4 P.M." and then the password for the chat.

I hadn't found out about the events until my 2nd hour, which was art. At first everyone thought a plane flew into the white house, until we started watching the news on TV. I ended up watching the news a lot during that day in school. The most ironic thing happened, too. My 7th hour class was some kind of social studies. That class offers every year a trip to Washington D.C. for the eigth graders in the summer. They weren't sure if the event was going to be cancelled at all, so ON Sept 11th I was given a packet of information for a trip to Washington D.C.

The Geneva Convention is the rule book, the doctrine of warfare. But usually our enemies don't respect nor acknowledge the Geneva convention because usually they are rebels or terrorists from rogue nations or their government has no control over them. What would be the point of presenting a legal document or any laws to a faction of outlaws. They don't care. That's why they are outlaws, they don't respect rules.

The Geneva Convention causes us more problems than our enemies. But I guess if you'er stupid enough to get caught beating captured soldiers for information you are on your own. As they say... "If you're gonna break the rules... don't get caught. And if you do get caught you're on your own."

I am a Danish dude so nobody got the news until night. I woke up and it was like everybody didnt know it. I didnt know it too, but a week later I found out.

I do.

Sad but I just moved on with my day as normal. Though I laughed when the gas station across the street was forced closed for spiking there gas prices. 11.00 dollars a gallon and they didn't think they'd get caught :lol:.

And for the love of God cut your quotes down.

I was in an American History class in 11th grade. We were just about to go to our next class when someone came in and told us we had to turn on the news. Apparently the WTC was under attack.

I really didn't care the day it happened. Everyone was so upset but I didn't react at all. Everyone around me was so pissed at the "dirty muslims" and they just wanted revenge. I didn't care...I felt that we deserved it and we had it coming.

I remember thinking that there were so many conlficting accounts that nobody really knew exactly what happened. I wanted to know how terrorists blew the towers up because I knew there was no way they fell from the Jet impacts. They came down in a perfect "building implosion" fashion so I knew there were explosives planted in the building. Especially with everyone in the street saying that they heard explosions. Even the lobby of one of the towers looked like it exploded. Then they interviewed someone on Fox News who was in the street that day and some random dude walking down the street explained the whole pancake collapse theory. I was amazed to find that the government said that's what really happened when they released the 9/11 commission (which has been admitted to be a fraud).

I still wonder what was covered up and why because it's physically impossible for what they said happened to have actually happened.

It seems like Cheney has benefitted from 9/11 more than anyone else...yay for war profiteers.

I remember, oh man, like it was yesterday.

I was in high school, and I showed up early because I was on the football team and we were reviewing films of the game before. I walk in but I see that the TV is on and I saw the towers burning. So I was essentially stunned, then just kinda watched in amazement. I dont know what else to call it.

So the rest of the day my teachers had the news turned on in all the rooms, we didnt do any work that day. I think I was in my chemistry class when the towers actually fell and I remember seeing one or two people run out because they knew people that worked either in the towers or in the area.

It was weird though...I never felt angry or sad. I just kind of accepted it.
