September 11

Is the one you're talking about the one where it briefly shows a guy listening to a long-wave radio on a car bonnet? And then the camera pans underneath him to get the towers in the background just as the second plane flies over their heads and into the building?
Yep
 
Why bother reading it ?
On Twitter it’s hard to avoid. Also some Facebook posts. It’s there.
Naive little people looking for something that isn’t there, but that they believe is the 100% truth. You cannot win with people like that.
 
Came home from school around 3:30/4pm, I was 15 and walked into the living room. My dad was just stood there watching the TV. He turned to me and said “there has been a terror attack, and the world will never be the same. He wasn’t wrong.

I was glued to the news channels for weeks later, standing up each time a body was found and Ground zero fell silent.
 
Lucky you.
My point being, if you do see it, why bother reading it ? You and me both know it's just shit.


It was a very sad day for many many people, I knew (vaguely) somebody who worked in one of the towers (a blue) it was quite a while before we found out he was safe.

I was watching the news as the first aircraft hit the building, the first news was "light aircraft", and we were going to the supermarket, came home to find the full horror of what was going on, not mention the other parts of that day, my cousin is married to a senior officer (at the time) in the US army, and his office was in the Pentagon, luckily he wasn't in office, though I didn't know that at the time.

Good question. Rubber necking I suppose.
 
I finished work at 2pm that day and popped into Asda at Pilsworth, was in a queue and overheard a woman say that was a bit weird two planes flying into the same building, I didn't think nothing of it.
Got home and put the news on and there it was, the two planes. Absolute horror. I had friends who lived in Boston at the time and I was straight on the phone to my mate to check they was OK and they was but I remember thinking and really feeling vulnerable at that precise moment, just feeling completely defenseless, something I've never felt again since that day.
For weeks after it I couldn't sleep, that I do remember, I couldn't compute that these people turned up for work and not even half an hour later they was faced with the choice jump to their death or burn to death, that fucked me up something royal, couldn't shake that feeling.

I don't watch any of the documentaries or programs about it now, i feel immune to it as I've watched it so many times, I should feel raw and horrified but because it's been shown so many times it's lost that shock effect for me personally.

God bless all who died xx
