9/11/2001 Never Forget

[Showtime_III]

damn i cant believe so many years have passed.

what were yall doing when the planes hit?

i was in class in ny, and they dragged everyone into the student center to watch the news when the first plane hit. a lot of people were crying because they had family working in or near the towers.

crazy thing is that i flew into nyc 2 days before the planes hit. shit is crazy

[H.P.]

I was in the guidance counselors office for calling my teacher a prick. saw it on the TV in there. Went back to class and told my teacher. She goes, "Oh well, now sit down and be quiet" :ugh:

[jsnSnoBords]

in class 7th grade i think...

i still thing 9/11 was a conspiracy

[Andeee]

[eBnk]

i was in class 7th grade, Brooklyn, NY, saw them fall from the roof of my school

[H.P.]

knock knock

[empanada]

I had woken up and the first plane had already hit. Went to school and we basically spent the whole day watching the news. I'll never forget.

[Andeee]

but anywayyy. i was in first period, which was study hall for me. freshman year of high school.

i was like omg ww3

[edxmon]

I was in class, watched them fall live

Ditto, they never showed people falling again, edited that shit out. Wait you mean the towers or people, I saw people jump and also the towers crumble. Viva Mexico.

[GFlem]

I was in English class my senior year... i was the one who turned on the TV.

It was after the plane had hit the Pentagon, tho, if I remember correctly. We couldn't tell what was going on because the announcing was so horrible... what I do remember is hearing someone say, "hey, a plane hit the world trade center" and I figured it was some Cessna or something, some drunk-ass flying too close.

had no idea. :wtc:

Watching them fall made my face numb. I didn't really remember most of the rest of the day - just listening on the Radio because Flight 93 was coming back towards Cleveland for a while, and that's where you're like, "OK shit, where is this plane going to hit now, what the fuck is going on here."

[H.P.]

I just realized how young some of you bros are because of this thread

[Fittsjr]

was sleeping on the couch, my Mom called and said To "turn the Fucking TV on"

I tuned into see the second tower get hit. As I was putting on my Uniform to go to work AF1 with F-16 escort arrived at Offutt Afb. and i made a fucking hell of a drive to work having to show all kinds of ID to get buy 50 State troopers so i get to Base and do my job.....

I was glued to the news for atleast 5 days straight

[CaseLogic]

Ditto, they never showed people falling again, edited that shit out. Wait you mean the towers or people, I saw people jump and also the towers crumble. Viva Mexico.

[Epitofme]

I was a freshman in highschool about 45 minutes northeast of Philadelphia. The teachers were not allowed to tell us what was going on right after it happened and we weren't allowed to turn on any tvs or radios until they made a school-wide anouncement. After they made the anouncement around 10:30am the counselor's office was flooded. I remember that for like a week we weren't allowed to go outside for gym or inbetween classes [we had two buildings connected by a walkway and a skyway on the second floor]. It was scary and the smoke/dark clouds filled the air that afternoon. It was so surreal. Turns out a girl in my class lost her father. He was one of the pilots of Flight 175 that went into the south tower. It was a sad time, but what really upset me is that she went to school the next day to avoid the media at her house.

It was weird because I had just gone to NYC a week before to visit the sites with some of my family from Baltimore. It was sad seeing the same ferrys taking people to hospitals in NJ that we had been on earlier exploring Ellis Island, the Statue of Liberty and Manhattan.

I also watched the movie Flight 93 a few days ago and remembered that one of the young women on there was my dad's coworker's daughter. They still have her phone activated so they can listen to her voicemail :wtc:


I will never ever forget.

murrddaaaaaa!

[Dog]

I was in Home room in HS. The teacher next door came into our class and said to switch from "channel one" to the news cause a plane hit the WTC. we watched in Home room. Homeroom ended, and I went to math class. Watched the TV in math class as well and saw the second plane hit. stayed in school for about an hour after that just watching the news. I had early lunch and I cut at like 11 something and cut class with my nieghbor/friend. I remember that we were walking towards the center of town to get lunch, and i remember seeing the NY skyline once we got on top of the hill. Remember all of the smoke coming from the city and not being able to see the towers anymore.... My buddy and me just chilled at my house afterwards.

Late that night my nieghbor came by and I will never forget that. Guy worked in the towers and told a pretty serious story that I am not gonna repeat here.

something I will never forget in my life.

[Showtime_III]

have you guys seen the siege starring denzel? movie was so close to 9/11

YouTube - The Siege Theatrical Trailer

[killafornia]

Thanks to being on the west coast I was still asleep when the first plane hit. My Dad roared into my room and told me to get my ass out of bed and come to the TV. I told him to go away, or something of that nature, so he proceeded to walk over to my bed and flip over my mattress. I reluctantly gathered myself and moped into the living room, and what I saw on that screen I'll never forget for a second of my life.

I went to school about thirty minutes later. Watched the news in homeroom. Got to see the towers collapse in Spanish 4. Someone came over the intercom and told us that school was going to be optional for the rest of the day, and that the staff would stay and counselors would be provided if anyone needed to talk.

One thing that amazed me was that even in a room full of rowdy high school students, at that second when we had the option to get up and walk out of class -- nobody did. We all stayed and watched, mostly in silence, together.

A guy on my football team lost his father in Tower two. He worked for an investment firm and was traveling to New York to accept a major promotion. It was the first time he'd ever been there. I'll never forget a moment of that day for the rest of my life.

Proper grammar for a proper situation.

[Speakeasy]

I was actually in NY at the Marriott on Times Square on Sept 10. I was going to stay one more day but I had to work...flew out that day. I was sleeping and a friend of mine called because he thought I stayed another day. When I turned the TV, I saw the second plane hit. Fucking freaked me out. My other friends stayed and were stranded for like 2 weeks.

[animepark13]

oh its already that time? i was in middle school and all we did all day was watch tv in class the whole day... fucking terrorists ruining a perfectly good day of school :mad:

[Fittsjr]

oh its already that time? i was in middle school and all we did all day was watch tv in class the whole day... fucking terrorists ruining a perfectly good day of school :mad:
Middle School... seriously. Fuck I'm Old.... I had already been in the Military for over 4 years when 9/11 hit.

edited for the math of when I joined the AF

[Kirby]

I was in 7th grade, homeroom when it was announced, saw both towers collapse on TV.

[Kirby]

My parents saw the towers being hit while working on a restaurant along with the Owner.

The restaurant shut down after the recession that year and we were in such bad shape we almost ended up back to where we came from. :hs:

[Maxtor]

in class 7th grade i think...

i still thing 9/11 was a conspiracy

i kinda still do too

[Ele7eN]

i was at home getting ready to go to work. i just sat on my couch with my roommate watching in disbelief for hours. my ex-girlfriend had moved NYC two weeks before to start a new job as a nurse. it took me two days to get in touch with her because she was so busy at work.

[:werd:]

jesus christ you guys are making me feel old

anyway I was asleep because I was on a swing shift, woke up to go to work and I had voicemails from people saying "omg how can you sleep we're being blown the fuck up" like I was right next door or something.

Anyway I went to work for like a half hour and just had an odd feeling all day so I left. Called my mom who works for the state and told her to go home. I remember feeling literally like the country was going to break into chaos and really wanted to buy a gun.

[tedistkrieg]

am I the only one that doesnt remember where I was? :hs:


I seriously dont, Im guessing I was at school

[Showtime_III]

[lubriderm]

i was in class. and then later that day i bought my first car.

[STUCKHEAD]

i was waking up for class, sitting on the edge of my bed...

too shocked to go to school.

[Hellcouldbworse]

I was in 8th grade. I had just gotten to school and one of my friends ran up to me and was like "Dude a plane just flew into the twin towers!" I didn't believe it at first, then I walked into my science class and the teacher had the news on the TV. She was crying. They made an announcement over the intercom stating what had happened. I think we watched the news most of the day that day. What a shitty day.

My grandfather used to work at the towers. His office was in the basement of the North Tower when it was bombed back in 1993. He wasn't there at the time. He was some sort of safety inspector, and would've been in charge of getting people out of the buildings on 9/11. The 9/11 thing hit him really hard. He'd spent a lot of time in those buildings.

[Dog]

West coast or just really young?

I dont see how you couldnt remember that already.

People remember where they were when Kennedy got shot and that was 45 years ago. I will never forget what happened on 9/11.


I remember listening to the radio reports on 9/11 at night and the rumors and everything that was going on was nuts

[up north trip]

i didn't know my sister was alive until 10:30 that night

7th grade History class... our school didn't let us watch much of it. nobody really knew what was going on. I was supposed to go surfing after school and my mom picked me up from school and said "you're not going to the beach today, go home and watch TV. something terrible happened"

[netkilla]

i just had woken up.. turned on the TV saw the replays of the first tower fall.. kept watching it trying to figure out what was going on.. i kept seeing images of NY with snow like shit going down.. everyone scampering.. im like hmm weird.. I went to the living room as my whole family was watching in awe... i sat there really not feeling any emotion.. I saw the second tower fall, im like dang that sucks.. still didnt feel anything.. i guess cuz it wasnt close to home.. felt like i was just watching a movie or an event that took place far far away from us :dunno: kinda like that killer tsunami

[tuesdays_gone]

I was with my family in a motel in Ahaheim right behind Disneyland. I was being a lazy bitch and was still asleep. My mom and sister came in and woke me up and turned on the T.V. as they were showing replays of the first plane hitting and just before the second plane. I just sat there in bed, in awe at what was happening. I couldn't believe that they closed down all the parks for the day for security reasons. So I sat in the motel room all day flipping through channels and ate pizza.

[sqaure]

As i'm in Australia all this went down around 11pm. I had just got back from :420: at my buddy's house and was sleeping to the radio when they started talking about how the towers were on fire and shit. Went and turned on the TV and watched people jumping out of the buildings. Went and woke up my mother and watched the news all night.

I thought it was the beginning of the end of the world :420:

[FLY180]

I thought it was the beginning of the end of the world :420:

[DVS SHO 93]

My mom had called me at home and woke me up to turn on the tv. Was shortly after the first plane crashed. I had to get ready to go to school, drove all the way out there to find class was cancelled and the teacher was off translating somewhere.

[Di3Soft]

be it an inside job or not dont care, but :wtc: for all the families that lost a dear one

[Mung]

My brother, a friend, and I had tripped acid the night before so we had finally fallen asleep around the time the first tower was hit. My friend's mom came over and told us the towers and pentagon had been hit but we shrugged it off due to the acid wearing off. About an hour later another friend comes busting through the door like the kool-aid man, I'll never forget what he yelled, "The towers are fucking gone!" Well that woke us up.

It wasn't until around 5 that afternoon when I actually saw the news footage, but I remember the listening to Guilliani speakiing after the towers fell on the radio.

[Tel Lie Vision]

This day was horrible. I was a freshman in my 4th period Earth Science class. They were not specific when they were describing the event, so as far as I knew some idiot flew a small plane into one of the twin towers. Then they started to include more details and we saw it on TV. It hadn't occurred to me until later that day when I realized my family went to the airport (it was JFK or Newark I believe) to pick up my relatives who were flying in from Italy. I was so worried that they were on that plane, but thankfully they were not. Sadly though they were re-routed to Greenland and sent back to Italy. We didn't see them for months after the devastation.

[Jredrum]

I was asleep during senior history class and got woken up to watch the 2nd plane hitting the tower.

[F-86]

I was asleep during senior history class and got woken up to watch the 2nd building hitting the tower.

lolwtf

[jackiinabox]

freshman year 2nd period gym class.
I didn't find out til after gym walking thru the front hall they had all the tv's on.

[ZrOuT]

I was walking to one of my programming classes in college , seems like 20 years ago :-/

[Jen]

i was walking into environmental science class and my teacher had the tv on right. everyone didnt really really care because they didnt know what was going on, then at my next class my world history teacher had it on live and we watched the 2nd plane fly into the trade center, everyone was dead silent(no pun intended) and then people started crying...it was intense :wtc:

[Rotten]

In 2001, I lived in Chicago. On the morning of 9/11 I was on my way to a meeting in Chicago when I heard about what happened. The meeting got cancelled, I went to my coworkers house and we watched the news for a couple of hours. Then I headed back downtown to my apartment. I was the ONLY person on the red line train going downtown.

[JUSTIN]

i was in home room in 8th grade

[kneenurs]

i was in physics in high school and our principal made an announcement saying "i'm sure all of you already know about the terrorist attacks...."

we were like "WTF?!" we were all in class, we didn't know shit until 2 min later when we went in the hall and saw everything on the monitors.

my dad was supposed to fly into NYC that morning but he got reassigned.

i went to ground zero 3 weeks after the attacks and i'll never forgot riding the subway into the city. i got off at the station and it smelled soooooo bad. i was on the phone with my dad and he was like "you know what that is right?" i was like "ummmm garbage?" he then told me it was rotting bodies and a police officer that was near me confirmed it.

shit was sad as fuck. there was soot everywhere, posters of missing people, jagged metal everywhere.... i need to have my mom send me the pics i took. they got published in 3 different newspapers. not bad for a disposable camera.

[Yahweh]

i was in 7th grade spanish class and i had no idea what the wtc was

[Jredrum]

Why's that? :ugh:

[Arc8x]

i was sitting in 7th period bio class. Never Forget!

[sin(x)]

shit, I was still in elementary school :ugh:

damn it's been a while :(

[camrytt]

I was in the 11th grade. The first plane hit right around when classes were changing, and when I'd see people running into their classes. When I walked in everyone was glued to the tv. I had to ask a few times to find out what happened, and when I was told, I didn't believe it. Then I saw the 2nd plane hit. Shit still feels almost unbelievable.

:wtcwerd:

[User Name]

I was in Rochester, NY (approx 5 hours drive away from NYC), I was college student. When my 8am class was dismissed, so I went out of classroom and there was TV all over in hallway.

I couldn't believe what I saw, took me a while to realize what actually happened. :eek4:

And all of the sudden my mom, 1000 miles away from me paged me. She was so scared, that she really want me to hop on airplane and get back home. Even thought it was only 2nd week of my first year in college. I was already getting some fresh pussies and shit, so fuck that.

[FRIZL]

I was on the phone with somebody in NY when this went down. I didn't believe what they were telling me when they started talking about what was happening. Watching it all play by play on TV was some traumatizing shit.

[nameless]

happy 9-11 everyone

[I JIZZED IN MY PANTS]

I was between classes at school.

Every year I forget about 9-11 unless someone mentions it to me.

[DocPenguin]

I was in my junior year of HS. I had cut that day and my sister woke me up at around 11am and said "Wake up, the World Trade Center is gone" I thought she was on crack until I turned on the T.V.

[Bill Gates]

I was a Sophmore in High school on 9/11. I also Live in NY So new's spread faster than butter. I remember kids running through the hallway yelling the twin towers just had a Jet fly into them. All i could think was a Jet?!?! Are they serious? ...I reported to the nurse's office that morning and I could heard the Radio Announcer yelling into the microphone that the world trade centers were collapsing.

[ALTIERI11]

junior in high school, happend while i was in gym class, i had history next so naturally we watched it for the whole class. after that every class was just watching TV all day

[Epinephrine]

I live in NY, and was in history class. When my teacher found out, she ran out of the room, screaming down the hallway. We later found out that her husband worked in the towers. He wasn't injured or anything though.

I remember everyone being really confused as to what happened. They weren't sure if it was a terrorist attack or what (although after the second one hit it was pretty much guaranteed). My dad who works in the city didn't come home until midnight.

I was off work for a week and was layed out in bed from surgery. Still lived at home and my mom woke me up and told me about it. :sad2:

[RotorBalls]

jesus you fuckers are young :o

[yaksha]

I was in college getting ready to go to class for the day. I didn't go to class. Drove to Philly, hoped in the heavy rescue fire truck and drove it up to Ground Zero.

[killafornia]

Why's that? :ugh:

because its ignorant

i learned everything i need to know about christianity from pastors touching kids

i learned everything i need to know about texas from the branch davidians

i learned everything i need to know about america from listening to osama bin laden

fucken shyt sounds so casual

[yaksha]

fucken shyt sounds so casual

I didn't mean to sound casual. Believe me it was not a "casual" experience.

[Red Dirt BS]

Did any of you go through the "gas craze" later that day?


I remember after lunch, we had teachers watching 2-3 classes at once so they could go fill their cars up with gas.

We had gas stations that went up to 8-10 $ a gallon. I remember hearing about other ones in the city that went up to $13 a gallon.


Lots of people around my area thought WWIII was starting. :(


edit: I remember, I filled my car up the day before. Gas back then was what, $1.50 a gal?

[Hellcouldbworse]

Those pictures bring a lot of emotion. Being in middle school I didn't really understand the intensity of the situation. A few years later, it's much more meaningful to me.

[Red Dirt BS]

I never thought the bond that creates between student/teacher in a crisis situation.

I bet those guys remember all the students they had in that room that day.

[Red Dirt BS]

Those pictures bring a lot of emotion.

No doubt. Who would have ever thought :(

[Roniii]

I was house sitting at my grandmothers house. And i was woken up by my clock radio with news of the attack.

When I heard and saw what had happened i made the quick decision to take advantage of the situation, skip school, and smoke weed all day. Go me.

I have the same picture from that trip.

By the way you were a freshman when the towers fell, so you have your timeline straight.

The camera date must be off.

[illectronic]

I was in class in NYC when someone walked in to tell the teacher in the ear. When we evacuated there were FBI guys running around and I remember getting ashes in my eye even though I was like 6 miles away.

[n2_space]

Turned off the CD player getting off the highway on the way to work to hear about it on the radio. Came into work and saw a few people running into our main conference room and the big screen tv to watch it. Was surreal and no one did much of anything all day as we tried to get info off the web with most sites going down.

Was in my 10Th grade recreation class, I remember seeing the second plane come flying in live, then they fell.

Just another reason ill never be religious

[Tar Heeled]

i was in 8th grade, p.e. class when it happened. they pulled us in from outside to watch on tv and being young kids from small town north carolina, we didn't really know what exactly it was that we were watching. one big building in NY on fire? for the rest of the day we watched in all our classes and it soon became apparent the gravity of what was going on.

such a tragedy with so many innocent lives lost.


also - FUCK my college's newspaper.
we got a new editor this year to the Daily Tar Heel and the bitch has changed it to be the biggest pile of left wing garbage i've ever read on a daily basis. for example - on the front page today is their little tribute to 9/11 that consits of some American flag pictures with student quotes over top.

quotes like - "I think people's emotions allowed for things that shouldn't have happened to occur." - Patrick Toomey, Soph, sociology and poli sci

"Would we even be in Iraq if Sept. 11 hadn't happened?" - Nicole Burke Soph., Chem major.

"I think we tried to do a lot of things under the banner of Sept. 11." - David Mulcahy, soph, chem.

fuck all of those fucking imcompassionate students who have politicized 9/11 into another anti-Bush day, instead of remembering the lives that were lost and the innocent blood that was spilled. Never Forget is for the fireman, office workers, police officers, government officials at the pentagon, and the heroes in Penn; not about the guy in the White House and what happened afterwards. talk about that the other 364 days, but today is about the victims.

i concur with all those quotes. you're blind :cool:

[Kotchy]

im sorry but even on a day like today this fucking disgusts me
more women and children have died in iraq then on 9/11

i think the tally is around 900,000 now, not counting our troops


so get off the internet and read a bible or something

[Kirby]

i concur with all those quotes. you're blind :cool:

People like you are worse than the fundamentalists you feel so superior to.

Wanna bitch about the war, make a different fucking thread to jerk off by yourself to your superiority. This thread is to remember where we were and honor the lives that were lost.

Keep your fucking conspiracies and liberal bullshit in Digg.

[Tyler Durden]

I was a freshman and I was in Spanish class when it happened

[Nemmy]

I was driving to Class that day and supposedly ran a red light so some d-bag followed me to school and started yelling at my while i was munchin on my Egg Mcmuffin. I got into school (I started later in the day than most everyone else) and everywas just milling about crying and wandering the halls. I was like WTF is wrong with these whiney bitches. I finally made it in to class to see everyone watching the TV, I was like sweet a move today, only to find out it was the news. Seeing immediatly it was the news I said fuuuuuck this and started reading, I cant stand the news...too morbid. So a few hours later at lunch I ask a bunch of friends they start all telling me the stories.

To finish it up, I just went home since nothing was going to get accomplished in school that day and smoked a few bowls with a friend and watched Half Baked.

9/11 has not been a big event for me or anyone in my family probably because we didnt lose anyone and are on the West Coast. It's just another day to me, just like labor day, veteran's day, memorial day, president's day, easter, christmas etc.

[Carl Barat]

I was in 7th grade at nas sigonella in italy. I got to go home early and had the rest of the week off while the base was on lockdown. There was almost nobody leaving their house for a few days.

I know, I'm really kind of an asshole. I'm not here to derail this thread though. I understand that this is an emotional day for many people, I was posting what I was doing on that day.

I can't imagine how hard this day is for those who lost loved ones in the towers or the War. It's a tough day for many people.

I just realized how young some of you bros are because of this thread

.

I was out for a beer with my wife. We sat down for a bit and someone turned the TV up.

We watched the second plane hit live (I think?).

Here in Australia, about 5 people were watching (my wife and I were pretty upset and sad). The entire rest of the place just kept sitting there playing slot machines, not giving a fuck. Talk about apathy. :hs:

[MJYRXG]

what happened?

[Diesel]

I was in first grade, I'd just came in from morning recess when I'd seen the teachers crying. As soon as it'd happened we were all dismissed, of course at the time, I didn't realize the situation except that it was a day off of school. Now that I know what it really was, It makes me sad that such a fine American structure and Many American lives were destroyed on 9/11

Never Forget.

[American Ninja]

Why do people say 9/11 Never Forget? Like we're ever going to fucking forget that day.

[Diesel]

[YoKramer]

I lived 15 mins north of DC. I was 17 and in Algebra 2 when they came over the pa about it. I was confused, scared, angry. They locked down the school, no one in or out. A good friend was scared shitless cause his mom was supposed to be at the Pentagon that day and they wouldnt let him leave. We watched on tv as the second plane hit the tower in confusion, concern and disgust. I was extremely scared for my Dad, who flew those flights a few times a year. He was in England at the time and the Embassy told him to drop anything saying he was an American at the embassy and stay in his hotel. I only had a chance to speak to him for a minute before he had to go. Id never felt so lost and lonely in my life. Lots of tears and worry for my father stuck thousands of miles away.

That night I stayed awake talking to friends and strangers online just to help make sense of the day. Then the anger started for me. I finally got over the shock that someone actually had the balls to do that to the strongest nation on earth. I was pissed that they took the cowardly way out to do it. I was frightened that it could happen again at any time. I was mournful for those lives that we lost to the senselessness of the day.

Its hard to believe its been 7 years. I havent thought about it much lately other than when a political figure brings it up trying to get votes. Writing this has brought it all back and a few tears with it. May those that lost their lives that day rest in peace. And those cowards that brought down the planes rot in hell. May our troops over seas come home safe and sound and finish the job they started. To all those that serve Thank You, you are what keeps America safe, Good Job and Good Luck.
