it just makes us realise we never know what the future holds. to think something like that could happen in teh biggest city in the world and claim so many lives. it's scary how out of the blue it was.

Scary to think I was 11 when this happened! It happened on one of my first days at my new high school.

I remember it so clearly, my Mum fetched me from School and was telling me about it in the car and I didn't understand it and then I got home and saw it on the news and was so shocked at just how bad it was. It was a horrible day. RIP :sad:

7 years? I still remember it all clearly, and I was so young at the time. I remember coming home from school and my mum in tears telling me about what had happened.

Me and my bro where watching Pokemon (the movie) then when it finished, we saw it and called our mum to the TV

I wish I was older when this happend, I didn't know what it was clearly. I was only 7 so it was kind of hard to take in so many people had died all in one go, in such an awful way x RIP x

Did anyone watch that thing on C4? I'm catching it now on +1. I always watch these 911 documentaries.

Callum

I've just been watching loads of videos about 9/11 on Youtube, it was hard to hold back the tears, it's just so awful.

Yeah I have been watching a few videos, it takes something to make me upset and angry, and that does it.
I am still shocked that this has happened, the people behind all the terrorism really do need torturing and left to die

I was in year 5 i think...
mummy told me in the car on Thirsk grove....

I randomly watch/read/look at 9/11 things every few weeks...it is one of them events that just bewilder me.

I

I know. I watched one video and a man was in was one of the buildings just before it collapsed, and he was shouting for help and then you just hear the person on the end of line shouting 'OH GOD. OH MY GOD.' it must have been so terrifying.

I always listen to the slow version of "Heaven" by DJ Sammy with the little girl talking about how her dad died in 9/11 when this time of year comes along. I cry my eyes out. :bawling:

Bells

10-09-2008, 10:20 PM

I remember it clearly too.

It still shocks me to think that something of that magnitude actually happened - and I can count a few things that make me feel that way. It blurs the boundaries a bit between what's real and what isn't (e..g what's portrayed in films). It's so awful - RIP. It shocks me to think of some of the atrocities that go on the world, and even though I was 10 (pretty innocent age to be) when this happened - it made me wake up to that fact.

something like that :sad:

I pray no sick freaks try anything tomorrow on the anniversary', I've been dreading that very year since it happened. I have a feeling it might on the 10th anniversary. I pray not. :sad:

Still remember it like it was yesterday. One of the rare occasions where I was just lost for words (when watching the towers collapse live on Sky News).

Scarlett.

I know it like JFK

Everyone who was alive, will remember what they where doing the moment the plane hit

I am still shocked thinking back to that day

Same, I cannot believe it happened. I am still as shocked as I was 7 years ago to the day
I cannot believe its been 7 years though, doesn't seem so long ago to me :shrug:

11-09-2008, 12:11 AM

I know, I bet that it will always feel like that though, its one of those things that is forever at the front of your mind

Scarlett.

11-09-2008, 08:31 PM

It didnt seem to be a the forefront of the news today
Perhaps this is the point where most people move on from it

Callum

11-09-2008, 08:43 PM

There's a progamme on tonight called 'The 9/11 Faker' I'm going to give it a watch, the documentary on 9/11 and the 14 survivors last night was really good, some of the storys were shocking.

Scarlett.

11-09-2008, 08:45 PM

What channel is it on? :spin2:

Callum

11-09-2008, 08:46 PM

Channel 4, 9pm.

Spike

11-09-2008, 08:48 PM

I will be watching, the documentary last night was brilliant too.

Scarlett.

I'm wondering if More4 has one? Last year they showed the one with footage of the Firefighters inside the building as it collapsed and stuff. So sad. :sad:

Hugo

11-09-2008, 09:12 PM

R.I.P Praying for all the families and victims on this anniversary. :flowers:

11-09-2008, 09:48 PM

rest in peace all

i watched a programme about 9/11 the other day and a father of a young fireman was talking about his speech at the funeral and he said " i didn't make a speech for today so i'll say what's in my heart" and all he said was " son i know you're in the angels arms but i'd rather have you in mine":sad:

brought a tear to my eye! he looked so sad and emotional and his voice cracked at the end too! bless him!!
:sad:

I cant belive someone would do such a thing, its disrespectfull to victims

Callum

That Tanya woman scared me.

11-09-2008, 10:01 PM

I loved Amy Ting on the 9/11 Hotel last night. She was nice.

Spike

11-09-2008, 10:04 PM

That Tanya seriously had mental problems, I can't understand how someone can lie like that for that amount of time.

Thats a well nice looking building. They're having a musuem aswell I think.

I missed it.
What did this Tanya person do?

Scarlett.

11-09-2008, 10:08 PM

Said she was there at 9/11, and became the most recognised person from 9/11

Erm, I'll get a full description.

Here:

Tania Head has claimed that she was on the 78th floor of the South Tower when the first plane hit . However, none of her statements have been verified. She claimed that a man named "Dave" was her fiancée/husband (however he was probably a guy who was the object of her unreturned affections - Read: STALKER!). The guy's family has never heard of her. She also claimed that she worked for Merrill Lynch & Company (formerly located at the World Trade Center), but the company has no idea who she is, either.

Other parts of her story are that she saved by a guy in a red bandana(who's conveniently dead), and that some poor soul had given her his wedding ring, which was inscribed with his and his wife's names (which, of course in her heroic valor, she later returned to his devastated widow).

Taken from Yahoo.

11-09-2008, 10:12 PM

I liked Amy Ting aswell, she seemed lovely:)

Shame about the Tanya woman - even though what she did do was terrible, she did secure a tour of Ground Zero for survivors, which in some ways was good. Its a shame that people are saying she commited suicide though.

Sam!

11-09-2008, 10:13 PM

Can we have an Amy Ting fanclub? Or is that disrespectful or sumat, even though shes still alive.

Well her exact location right now is unknown. God knows what she's done.

She didn't even get any money or nothing so I dunno why she did it. As some people did fake it to get money.

Yeah, and she did a lot of good for the survivors. I don't agree with what she did, but a lot of the good work she did for them has been disputed.
