Hard to believe 10 years has passed since the September 11th attacks. The day that changed the world.

Where were you on 9/11?

[InOne]

I was at my grans house watching it live on tv

Hard to believe 10 years has passed since the September 11th attacks. The day that changed the world.

Where were you on 9/11?

In school playing with play dough. :sad:

[Vicky.]

At school. In RE. We got dragged out into the hall to watch the news and then sent home :o

[Josy]

At home watching it all happen on sky news.

[Locke.]

In the street playing football when I first heard about it

[Novo]

I was at home getting ready for School watching it on TV i must have been in year 7 at the time

[Roy Mars III]

I was at school, I still remember the assistant principal coming into each class and telling us.

[MTVN]

Think I got back from school and the news was on which was unusual, I knew that something big had happened but I didn't really fully comprehend it

[InOne]

I was 10 so didn't really understand properly I think

[Niamh.]

I was on my way back to work after my lunch break. I heard on the radio that a plane had crashed into one of the towers, then a few minutes later they called out that a second plane had crashed into the other tower, I thought it was some kind of joke, terrorism never even entered my head.

[Maia]

I was on a family holiday in France. I have vague memories of everyone there watching it on a public TV.

[Ryan.]

I was 5 and angry that there was nothing but "news" on and I was missing CiTV

[King Gizzard]

Was at school and only heard about it when I got in my mums car

Was it about 2pm our time if it was 9am ish over there?

[Glenn.]

I had just got back home from school and my nan phoned and said something was happening in New York and to put the news on.

When I put it on the second plane hadn't hit and the newsreaders were on about a small plane hitting the tower.

I had just gone back to school from my summer holidays and I had just started a new year at school so I was doing my Science homework:bored:

I remember looking up from my workbook, just as the second plane slammed into the side of the second tower and I knew this was really bad.

And then to watch the towers collapse, live along with the rest of the world was horrific. I felt sick. I didn't sleep well that night. I was 12.

[GypsyGoth]

I remember being out with a friend and my mom telling me to come in to watch it.

[Lee.]

I was getting ready to go on holiday the following day... I went into town to get some things. The first place I went was my work (dixons) to buy batteries and the dreadful gossipy woman I worked with was trying to chat to me and was telling me something about new York and airplanes and terrorists but I was just so bored talking to her that I was just like "yeah, I know... whatever :rolleyes:"

I went to superdrug, then as I was walking back down past ky work, there was a crowd outside watching the tellys and I joined in, just in time to see the first tower falling. I remember standing, not believing what I'd just seen and phoning my mum in confusion.

My flight to Greece the following day was surreal... I had a good holiday but found the whole 9/11 thing hard to get my head around when I came home.

[Kerry]

Sat at home watching it live on the news with my toddler laid fast asleep on the settee beside me

[Stu]

Got picked up from school by my mum and we drove to get new lightbulbs or something in an electrical store and just like the movies we stood outside with about a dozen other people watching it on a giant bank of TVs in the store window.

[Pyramid*]

I'm watching something on tv just now about the German Cell.......

hard to believe it's ten years on. I was off work, was faffing about the house, and when I went to the shops: everyone was standing listening to the radio........there was a real sense of "christ, where is going to be next" and we thougth London.

Came home, managed to call a few friends I'd met on holiday to ensure they were okay (they were NY coppers & their wives) - and sat for hours & hours in front of the tv with tears streaming down my face - mixture of shock, horror, sadness and complete disbelief that it was real life.

[King Gizzard]

My dad thought it was the russians kicking off WW3..

[Pyramid*]

My dad thought it was the russians kicking off WW3..

I have to confess: my parents were alive then and we all thought the same thing....that this was going to be 'it'.

It could so easily have started.

[Kerry]

I'm not even sure what I thought. It's one of those moments in life your mind just cannot work around. You ring people, you watch the news (check every channel just to see if one knows more than the next), you look outside expecting things to be different..... very surreal... sad..

[Firewire]

School, I don't remember it though.

Because I was on holiday during the aftermath, I missed the media coverage of the whole thing... I don't know if it would have helped to have sat and watched the 24 hour coverage after it happened, but I still feel a need to watch what happened that day as I can't really take it in (still)

I also wonder if anybody had the same strange feelings I had after it happened? I am really really laid back about everything, but after 9/11 I turned into a bit if a psycho... I couldn't bear to be apart from any of my family for any length of time... it got quite ridiculous: if my mum went to the supermarket and was quite a ling time, I used to get panicky and end up in tears... I basically couldn't bear for any of my loved ones being away from me.. it was horrible. :bawling:

[Glenn.]

It was a very strange feeling watching it knowing you can't do nothing but watch it unfold.
And almost as though it couldn't be happening. This blatant attack and disregard for life, it was like something out of a movie if you know what I mean?

[Scarlett.]

I'd just finished watching the Pokemon movie on VHS, then was greeted by the sight of the first tower in smoke.

3000 people died that day, no matter what the **** you think, they died, they jumped out of windows to escape the steel bending flames and the lung posioning smoke. So you just witter on about your pathetic conspiarcy, you can believe whatever the **** you want - BUT HAVE A LITTLE ****ING RESPECT FOR THE PEOPLE WHO DIED.

[Lee.]

Well said Chewy!

[Stu]

The tragic thing is that just like people who drive planes into buildings Grimnir genuinly believes in his heart of hearts that he is smarter than the average person and is on to something they are not. And nothing can convince him otherwise.

Can't believe it has been 10 years already. I'll have to make sure I catch a couple of the things that will be on TV about it tomorrow

[Ninastar]

In school waiting to go home sick. Like 50 people had been called to go home early over the intercom, so the teachers were starting to panic.

You Vile person. Thousands of innocent people died that day. The Whole of Manhattan was put into meltdown. The North and South Towers were not a controlled explosion. September 11th has left thousands of people suffering over the loss of Family ect because some terrorist group decided to crash into them.

Have some respect for the people who died that day, the people who tried to save Humans stuck inside. 9/11 was not fake. If you think it was fake you seriously have problems.

[Saph]

I was watching it on tv when i was like 6/7 and I remember asking my mum "why are they all crying, cant they build a new one?" ..how naive :blush2:

[Lee.]

I've just realised how un-naiive my daughter is for 7 years old. She wad just telling me they watched a video of 9/11 at school and some of her class were laughing and excited at the people "skydiving" off the building. She just said "i want laughing mum, cos I knew these people were dying" :shocked: :bawling:

awwww smart girl

[Kazanne]

I have been in the Twin Towers many times when I lived in New York,I cannot believe those majestic buildings are no longer there it's so hard to comprehend the carnage that took place there, and for all those poor people who lost their lives there and at the Pentagon and the plane that was brought down,may they never be forgotten .R.I.P.....thoughts with all their families.

[Patrick]

At school. In RE. We got dragged out into the hall to watch the news and then sent home :o

I think that's so stupid that schools do that, just send people home to watch the news.

[MeMyselfAndI]

I was 5/6 and in reception & i was sent home

[Wildcat!]

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz :sleep::sleep: with 911 already!
I am sorry, and I dont mean to be insensitive, but FFS! I mean I was there at the time, I seen the impact and everyone panicking. BUt jeezz. Its like its the biggest tragedy that ever happened in the world, more than the worlds wars combined! NO one deserved it, but please. 4000 people died or whatever. that many people die like every year, in Afghanistan or a lot more.

In
And what annoys me most, is they treat it like a celebration! With fireworks and planes, and whatnot. HOw about just one minute of silence, some flowers on ground zero, and thats it!!

I wonder how I would feel, if I was one of the victims families, having to relieve the horror, over and over again, on TV all the time, with the planes crashing.

Whatever! may they rest in peace. I am done with september frikking eleven!

I know what you're saying but I think it was just that it was one of the most bizarre, unexpected and unbelievable things to happen which keeps people talking about it

[Shasown]

I think that's so stupid that schools do that, just send people home to watch the news.

Schools have a duty of care to ensure that the pupils for whom they are responsible are looked after.

Not everyone at school will have a parent or a childminder who can drop everything and be at home should the pupils be sent home.

[Wildcat!]

I get that! I am just sick of it to be honest. I read somewhere, its like disaster porn! I was as affected as anyone, at the time, and some of my friends live in NYC. But it was not the worst thing in the world ever, like they make it seem. Too many tragedies have happened in the world, and people remember it with dignity! Its like back in WW2, an Peal Harbor. HOw dare they bring the war to the united states. Never mind that Europe is being dismantled to the core!

I just think its their tragedy, and I dont think they will be honoring the Tsunami victims every year, or the haiti earthquake victims, or the death in the Rwanda massacres. So really, in the grand scheme of things, 911 is waay too over publicized, all over the world!

[Vicky.]

I think that's so stupid that schools do that, just send people home to watch the news.

I dont think its schools as such, think it was just our school :laugh:

Then again, we used to get sent home at the first sign of snow 'incase' the pipes froze or whatever. Not that I was complaining at the time :wink:

[Patrick]

OMG Wildcat, an American that feels like that?

It's actually rather interesting.

I promise you, a lot of americans feel the same way! Its even worse when you are there, its like eveyone is forced to do something about 911, even though they really dont want to! I am cool to remember it on the day, but all day all week, all month!

I was listening to an american football talk show the other day, and there is a game Today, but sure enough, all they talked about was, how its gonna be 911 on sunday, and bla bla bla! :sleep: COmpletely forgot to talk about the game. Its just depressing, and mainly because of TV! Most people will watch it once on the day, but after that, they will switch the channel everytime!

Woah - it's actually so strange to hear that alot of Americans feel that way.

Because the talk on Facebook and stuff [here] is that it is being shoved down the world's throats by America and stuff, but then in reality - I guess it's actually happening to you guys by the media alot more than any other country.

[Jords]

Primary school, I remember a girl crying because her dad was in America at the time.

I was at school, painting.. :(

Its refreshing to hear an American say this :spin: I always presumed Americans just mourned the day of 9/11 like it was the end of the world or something. Im hoping that after this 10 year anniversary, it will all quiet down abit.

I kinda feel sorry for any normal muslims in America at the moment, it must be quite awkward for them..

['Conor]

I was like 6 so i vaguely remember it, but i remember everyone watching the telly in my nans and it being on the newspaper the next day!

[Jordan.]

I was only 7 and at school at the time it happened, I remember coming home and my mum was crying at the TV and I was just like :suspect:

8:46:30 (NY time) is the exact time the first plane hit. 12 minutes. :o

[Ninastar]

watching bbc news now. It's strange thinking how fast its gone and how much the world has changed

Why would it be akward for muslims? The whole issue of islamophobia is a lie by the press. There have been more anti-semetic attacks in America on jews since 9/11 than islamophobic attacks. And FAR more attacks on gays than muslims. Obviously any discrimination is wrong, but there is no big backlash against Muslims in America.

I suspect most muslims are feeling the same way all MATURE American's are feeling, that it's a horrible world changing tragedy and all those lost deserve to be remembered.

As far as some Americans being sick of hearing about 9/11 because they'd rather hear the FOOTBALL gossip, well that tells you all you need to know about that sort of person. Very immature.

[Tom]

It was my first day back at school after having a late summer holiday ... to America. Flew back on the 9th and was in New York on the 8th. But the weird thing is its only seeing the coverage now that I realise how serious it actually was. I kind of knew at the time but it never really registered, just thought two buildings had collapsed

[Doogle]

Was in reception, remember going to my mum's work and watching it on a big screen. Can't remember anything else.

[LaLaLand]

It was the first Friday of secondary school for me and I got off the school bus a stop early and walked down to my old primary school with a mate to pick up our Year 6 class photographs which had arrived late.

After having a chat with the teachers about how we were getting on after our first week of "high school" one teacher came running in "Another plane has flown into the other tower now! :O" but we thought it was just a freak accident.

Got home about 20 minutes later and my Mam shouted me to "come quickly", she had the TV on with the live footage from NYC and honestly I didn't take my eyes off it for about 3 hours!

It's crazy where time's gone!

[CharlieO]

I would have loved to seen it live. Everything fascinates me and I almost see something beautiful about how it happened. I hate how people had to die and obviously it was horrible but the spectacle I find stunning.

[Shaun]

like Jonnii and Tom it was in the first week of secondary school for me - and all I can remember is walking past classrooms full of people around TVs but I didn't even think to stop, I thought it must have been some sporting occasion or something. My mum picked me up and we heard it on the radio - so rushed home and watched the news.

Aside from receiving the news of deaths of family members, there has been nothing and will be nothing as immediately heart-wrenching as watching those towers fall.

Just 22seconds but that Plane with the Evil Saudi Terror Gang
going into the 2nd tower is a shocker.



And what was more shocking is Atta (from Egypt) the Leader of that mission
was in Florida a year before learning how to Fly a Plane
but not take off or land.
He paid his cash just to learn to fly steady.

The Man running the Florida Fly School told the FBI
but sadly as they sent a Lady FBI agent
it was not looked into far enough.

[Jayson]

I'd just turned 14, was at school, a teacher came into the classroom and talked to my teacher and she turned on the TV and we sat there until school was over watching it. Tbh I didn't think much of it at the time, was just pleased I got to watch TV instead of work. An A-level Economics class was supposed to be going to NY in the October half term but it got cancelled due to my HM being paranoid about it happening again.

[Marc]

Has anybody else mentally invisaged what it would have been like to have been in that building when it was first hit? I'd like to think I would have been calm and very helpful.

-random comment I know but it's a thought I've had and I'm hoping it's not only me who was sick enough to think it :-/

Whenever I watch one of those 9/11 programmes that come on each anniversary I think about it. It's a horrible thought really but I think I'd have been a mess and probably have jumped, simply because I'd rather die like that than burned or crushed to death.

[Saph]

I wonder if anyone from the actual WTC got it on video? or a security camera or something.

I hope nothing like this ever happens in the UK :( didnt the London Underground get bombed a few years ago? or am I getting mixed up..

[CharlieO]

I am so incredibly jealous of anyone who got to see it unfold as it happened.

[Jayson]

I hope nothing like this ever happens in the UK :( didnt the London Underground get bombed a few years ago? or am I getting mixed up..

Yeah but it wasn't the same scale as 9/11, still deaths though.

I can't really see anything like this happening again, security on aeroplanes is way too high for terrorists to be able to hijack planes and after 9/11 people are much more aware of suspicious behaviour. Then again it only takes a small group of people to slip under the radar for these things to happen...

[Patrick]

It'll never happen again.

The security in airports is so OTT now it's unreal, they ******ing treated me as if I was Osama Bin Laden because my iPod was metal.

[Patrick]

I was only 7 and at school at the time it happened, I remember coming home and my mum was crying at the TV and I was just like :suspect:

Sorry - but Mods, Admins, Members... whatever I may of said about American Media back in my early days of this forum, has lead to bans and insults always going my way.

But surely nothing I've ever said can compare to that?

But all in all;

I'm not the most Anti-American member anymore.

[MTVN]

I think the reason 9/11 is so significant is because it shattered the USA's sense of invulnerability and changed global relations for ever; 10 years ago it was basically the worlds lone super power, a place of infinite opportunity that was safe from foreign hostility - not the case anymore

Although 3,000 died in the Twin Tower attacks the actual subsequent death toll is in the hundreds of thousands after the disastrous wars in both Iraq and Afghanistan and also from the general "war on terror". Really I think the way America reacted played right into the hands of Al Qaeda and made then out to be a far larger and more dangerous organisation than they actually were.

[lostalex]

-random comment I know but it's a thought I've had and I'm hoping it's not only me who was sick enough to think it :-/

Sometimes I've thought about the people that jumped, an I thought about having to make the choice between burning to death, or falling 110 stories to the ground. I'm terrified of heights, so I don't know if I could jump, but at the same time burning to death must surely be the most painful way to die.

I still don't know what I'd do.

[Kazanne]

I think the reason 9/11 has had such an impact is because we literally SAW people dying before our eyes,I know there have been other terrible events,but we actually saw these people obliterated and could do nothing to help we know lots of other people die in wars etc,but we dont see it first hand we are just told,this was different. We saw over 3,000 people die that day.

It'll never happen again.

The security in airports is so OTT now it's unreal, they ******ing treated me as if I was Osama Bin Laden because my iPod was metal.

Weapons can be made of ceramics, wont be spotted on some airport detectors.

Not only knives but also guns.

Regardless of any security measures imposed at any airport with enough time, resources and planning aircraft can and will still be hijacked.

But the cockpits are sealed now, so they can hijack a plane, but they can't use it as a missile anymore. (unless the pilot IS the terrorist)

Not strictly true, cockpit doors are now reinforced and locked, but can still be opened during flights, for meals, crew relief etc.

Very True Shasown

It could happen again
if they take over the Cockpit 5 or 10mins before they want to hit a building.


Not every Plane has the Extra Security, as well.

Can you actually unlock the cockpit doors from the outside though?

[lostalex]

Can you actually unlock the cockpit doors from the outside though?

I don't think so, and also i think the pilots now have the ability to turn on an intercom to the rest of the plane, and listen to make sure there's nothing out of the ordinary going on before they unlock the door for the food to be delivered.

[Grimnir]

when it happened most of you all were little naive kiddies at school

so easy to be brainwashed and conditioned

you cannot accept the truth because it is too difficult to break through or the programming

hardcore fundamentalist religious people are brainwashed in much the same way

silly little babies

No


So they get the Plastic Weapon
and get a staff member to get in there
or so other way.

Actually i was 19, and had just moved to California 3 weeks before, first time away from home on my own.

I don't get the impression that many people on this forum are hardcore religious, i'm certainly not.

but your devotion to conspiracy theories does remind me of a cult or "hardcore religious" people, now that YOU mention it. Believing things with no evidence... yup there is a lot in common between conspiracy theorists an religious fanatics..

yes and watching a couple of poorly-edited YouTube videos based on circumstantial evidence coupled with an inferiority complex has really made you aware of everything, Grimnir. Pull the other one.

Were people actually on the planes that crashed?? You never really hear about them very much :/ I remember hearing that the guy who created Family Guy was suppose to be on one of the planes but decided not to go or something.

Yes, the planes had a lot of passengers on them. All on board every plane died.

We don't hear about them much? you must not have watched any of the dozens of documentaries they've been showing. there were dozens of phone calls recorded from them, and interviews with the family members who received those calls. also calls from the flight attendants to the airlines and control towers. There is ALOT of stuff about the people on the planes.

Yeah, routine flights were hijacked with passengers on board. Been a couple of movies made about them too.

this is how your little mind works

"hmm people say 9/11 is a conspiracy, maybe i should watch ONE of these conspiracy videos on youtube to see for myself if it is true....ooooh what is this, they are talking about imaginary planes, this is nonsense I don't believe this conspiracy........i am satisfied and no longer need to watch any more videos or do any further investigation or research of any kind, because i know for a fact the conspiracy is crazy........now i feel so much better about good ole US of A.....nighty night"

[Ninastar]

saying Shaun has a little mind is like saying the world doesn't revolve (around me)

[Callum]

:shocked: that must have been terrifying :(

On Flight 93, the last hijacked plane, the passengers were able to find out about the attacks on the twin towers and the Pentagon through the telephones on board and they all banded together to try and overcome the hijackers. Sadly they were never able to regain control of the plane but through their determined effort they managed to prevent the hijackers from reaching their planned destination, the Capitol building in Washington.

[InOne]

The whole thing is surreal, like a movie. Evil Genius who is thousands of miles away plots attacks from the mountains of Afghanistan. Just crazy

[Saph]

they managed to prevent the hijackers from reaching their planned destination, the Capitol building in Washington.

So they never actually planned to crash the second plane into the other tower? :shocked: Is that the white house?

I don't think you hear about this much, but I think its one of the most beautiful things to ever happen. Perhaps beautiful is the wrong word, but the people on board were absolute heroes. I can't imagine how their family feel.

There was 4 planes.

Two crashed into world trade center, one into pentagon and the other crashed in a field after the passengers tried to get control of the plane.

the more concerning thing I learned from a commercial pilot who worked with a Scheduled airline company ..... is that despite the changes the the cockpit doors/locks, timers etc, the one thing that was not looked at was the wall between the toilet up front - next to the cockpit.

Something i'd have thought was so obvious: but it took some time before it was established that that was a weak spot..... Shocking in reality that it wasn't considered at the same time as the cockpit door access.

Legends.

I bet that plane was heading straight for the white house aswell.

I often wonder what would of happened if everyone on the other 3 planes just took a stand and ran at the terrorist bastards.

Yes, I think it's less talked about than the twin towers attack. I agree, I think the people on board were so brave to attempt to overcome the hijackers, taking into account that passengers had already been stabbed and the pilot was lying dead, they are all heroes in my eyes. Even when things were looking extremely bad for them, they had knowledge of the previous three attacks so they had an idea of what was going on but they still didn't give up hope. Just remarkable people.

It was heading towards the Capitol building in Washington, where had it not been for the brave attemps of the passengers on board, a lot more people would have died.

Well I think it would have been a similar situation to that of the flight United 93, where it didn't reach it's intended target but crash landed somewhere, still killing all of the passengers on board.

They were true heroes. One of them was Mark Bingham, he was a gay rugby player from California, and his mom started the first ever gay rugby league World Cup in his honour.
So to any homophobe that thinks gay men are weak, Mark stood up to terrorists at 40 thousand feet in the air. SHowed once and for all that gay men are "real" men too!

[IheartBB]

At school. My brother was off ill that day so he filled me in on everything when I got home. I just remember every single TV channel had a sky news banner along the bottom. Crazy that it was ten years ago.
