What i dont get is that the first plane hit towards the higher bit of the building, wouldnt the people in the middle of the tower and the lower end have felt it and tried escaping, or didnt they feel it?

The 2nd plane hit the South Tower around 2/3 up so in risk of killing more people as there were more people above the point where the plane crashed.

What really upsets me are the people that didnt know what was going on (maybe towards the lower end) and realised what was happening just as the tower was coplased so it was too late to escape.

Also on the Phone Call documentary there was a story of a man who went into work for 5 MINUTES to pack up his desk as he was leaving his job there and moving somewhere else and he died there, how horrible is that!! He just went in there to pack up his things and get another job!

US Coastguard has opened fire on a boat in the Pontac river in Washington DC.

The river is closed off today because of the anniversary of 9/11......

I hope this isn't a terrorist attack....:shocked::shocked::shocked::shocked:

That was a training excersise.

I'm sorry but this just shows why the world percieves Americans as being dumb.

Who in their right minds decides to have a training excercise moments before President Obama drives past a bridge........


Oh and the fact it's 9/11, somebody needs to be fired.....

Saw it on the news in the morning
i was like wtf
went to school
teacher told us what happened and we were sent home

I was 10 and I was in school. The headteacher came into the class and said that two planes crashed into the world trade centre in America. Despite not knowing what the world trade centre was I renember being so shocked and upset. I got home and saw what happened on the news. Later on I got a phonecall from my cousin saying that her dad and brothers were safe.. they were in New York, they were going to go up the tower that morning at about half 8ish, but went the night before instead.. they saw the whole attacks from their hotel room.

I can't believe it's been 8 years though. My thoughts and prayers go out to the families who lost their loved ones on that day.

the goverment soo had an involment in the attacks they know everything which goes on soo no one can tell me tey had no links or info regarding the attacks it was a profit making scheme the owner of the world trade centers brought them for 15 million then got insurance for anything which could go wrong in the summer 3 months before it happend then the attack happend he got 7 billion a nice return if u ask me and he can rebulid his nice lil buliding to make more money, oh and world trade centre number 7 had soo much info regarding frad of major bussness and that collapsed too when it didnt get hit. hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

oh i was in yr 6 when it happend

I'd come back from school and was trying to show my mum that I had got a merit award and she was ignoring me watching the TV.

I remember I was at my friends after school, and it was on the news.

I took no notice at all :sad:

I was 11.

Why were you sent home :shocked:

After school, mum had it on the news when I came in.
We had a two minute silence in school, I can't remember when, it might've been the day it happened but if it was I didn't understand that was what it was for. I was only 7

I was only 6 so I don't remember much. I remember reading the paper

I was 12. I remember coming home from school and my mum had it on the news. Can't believe it was that long ago.

I was like 6, I came home from school and mum and dad was watching it on T.V. I didn't get why everyone was so serious.

Woah! :shocked:
So they planned to go up at 8:30am (around 20 mins before the first plane hit) but decided last minute to go the night before... ! Its things like that which really creep me out, its so lucky, I bet they were thinking how lucky they were when they saw it on TV that they werent in the building.

The poor people that were in that building, have no idea how they were feeling. The calls from the tower doc made me realise how some people were just so calm about it. One of the quotes that really upset me was when someone said calmly "I cant get down, the stairs are blocked, but Im convinced that I will be safe, I assure you Mum i am safe" (then the situation gets worse)...,..." but If im not, say to my kids how much I love them and I love you too Mum, dont ever forget that, I will see you soon"

It was horible to watch, I was crying!

I was 5 at the time and i didnt really know what was happening, so i didnt really care too much but then i saw the 2nd plane hit the south tower and i was shocked..

I was only 5 so I just Thought it was a movie but now its really upseting when you watch the stuff on tv about it:sad:

I was 15 and I was at school and my cousins aunty uncle and gran had gone to florida that day and they had to be diverted to canada but i thought they would be ok and when i got home it was on sky news all day and all i remember is not being able to concentrate in school

It was my brother's birthday and I remember coming home from school and my dad just saying we weren't going out for dinner cos people would think we were celebrating. I remember being shocked when I saw it on the news.

The show on more4 atm is so sad :sad:
