9/11

its hard for us and we were watching it on the TV. Think of the people who were there and saw it happening just metres away from them, scars them for the rest of their life. Truely sickening and just how much their lives have been affected by this.

We've always lived in a sick world. The sick people now have weapons at their disposal so they can spread their sick behaviour.

so true Rach.
i've got a mate of a mate,if you know what i mean,who's also a taxi driver.
his legs are basically fukd.
drives an automatic,got to get his wife to fill it up for him before he goes out to work,got to get someone to put a bookies line for him.
if he wants a chippy or Chinese whatever,while he's working,he has the phone nos.,pre arranged they'll bring it out to his car.
he always gives them an extra couple of quid mind you.
i can get in and out of my motor,do what i like,not him.
i'm the lucky bastard.
people dont value life.
 
Was fitting some tracking equipment to the vehicles of council workers in Preston.
My wife rang, said a plane had crashed I said "someones goin to be in deep shit for the radar being all f*cked up". Just then she screamed as the second plane crashed into the other tower on live TV.

I saw it for myself about 6pm on TV. My chin hit the floor - all of it, the crashes, the collapse, the people running for their lives, people jumping out of buildings and just imagining what it was like for those in the buildings and on the planes.

My son was only six months at the time. He didn't have a clue obviously but I couldn't help but think should we have brought him into this f*cked up world?

I was giving a lecture to midwives and health visitors on neonatal syncope.

I was pissed off at the time that it was interrupted because stuff was happening in America. But the group was too distracted to continue.

The bigger tragedy of 9/11 was the so called 'war on terror' that followed -instigated by George Bush, who to my mind is on a par with Hitler for the extent of worldwide death and suffering he has caused.

WOW!you have a really important job that must nead exams n all that.
It's a shame the thung in America dIstracted you so much,you should have turned the TV's off.
PS.seeing as your job seems to be at the very peak of childcare it would be interesting if you could enlighten us on the effect on infant mortality rates in Iraq since the troops entered.
I couldn't believe what i was seeing & couldn't believe that the Towers with so many Muslims inside was actually a terroist attack,but they became marytrys apparently so it was ok.
 
I was working for Cash Gen in Stockport, there was around 50 people coming in off the street not to buy anything but just watching it on the TVs for sale: Strange time......... No spoke for about 10 mins after the towers fell.

Just stood there watching....

This is what happens when you post on bluemoon drunk.

I've done it myself.

It aint pretty.
 
I think I was 9, and my mum came to meet me to walk home from school with me. I remember her telling me, and me not having a clue what the Twin Towers or the Pentagon was, and then sitting there for hours watching the whole thing on TV. I didn't really understand it at the time, but looking back, and having been to Ground Zero myself, I can't comprehend what happened that day.
 
World changed on 9/11. For anbody who can be bothered actually looking the initial US response was surprisingly measured and sensible. The stuff since 2003 is clearly bonkers though, and a lot more innocent Afghan/Iraqi civillians have died than all those in the Twin Towers.

Was working on an oil tanker at the time. Was going by Detroit at the time. Coast Guard pretty much just told us to get going away from the city. Cue Coast Guard escorts for the rest of the year. Crazy and sad times.
 
I'm absolutely amazed at the responses on here.

Didn't ANYONE actually go to see City play that day?

I was on my way to Notts County that night for a League Cup tie, stopped off in a pub in Matlock and watched it unfold.

Absolutely shocking, but it didn't stop me heading to Meadow Lane that night!

Like I say, did no one go to Nottingham that night?
 
I finished work at 2pm and went to the pub. The news cut in and the 8 of us who were there just sat in silence for a few hours watching it. One young lad tried to put the jukebox on and was nearly killed.

Went home after and rang my mates in New York but couldn't get through. One of them work in the right hand tower but was on holiday that week. Later found out from his tearful wife that he had planned to pop into work that morning but because his daughter was ill he didn't go.
