I remember coming home at lunchtime on that way as I worked part time in a school at the time and seeing the second plane disappear live into the building. I thought it was a special affects movie at first until I listened to what they were saying on the news. A terrible sight.

My partner at the time rang me to tell me to watch the news, I saw the south tower fall... it was a soul destroying moment.

Yes the Greatest Evil attack on Main Land America I was in working in America, in June that year, in California everything was moving forward. GW Bush was the New President. The Best TV Docu on 9/11 was the French team filming a docu on NYC Fire Dept who had started before , the First Plane went right over them. It was shown on Ch4. The Saudi Terrorists Won that Attack What the Feck did it have to do with Iraq , though? Last edited by arista; 11-09-2016 at 01:51 PM. |

Can I get a witness?

Still remember being shocked at the towers actually collapsing. It was the last thing that I thought was going to happen. I still remember the wave of emotions I felt when the first one did

This will probably be one of my last posts on the forum. I still browse every other day or so (bad habbit. I've used this site to check on the news stories for 8 years now) but I just cant with some of the idiocy on the forum.
However, this is my first year back in America since 9/11 happened. Its unreal. I'm actually watching fox news as I couldnt find anything else which was talking about this. (the channels here are confusing) but yes, I will never forget the day for as long as I live. I was in school in Maryland and we kept hearing peoples names in the intercom (theres one in every classroom). The principle would say 'can So and so come to the office for early dismissal'. I didnt feel well that day so after 20 kids got sent to the office, I asked the teacher if I could go to the nurse and she said yeah. My dad came to pick me up and then he got my sisters too. He told us something really bad had happened, but I didnt really understand it. I thought you'd be able to take people out of the rubble and that they were just lost in it all. I was 8, it just didnt make sense to me.

I remember being about 5 at the time and my Dad had picked me up from School.
I didn't really pay much attention to it at the time as you don't when you're at that age, but looking back on it that must've been not just a horrible moment for Americans, but a complete shock to the whole world that this terrorist group could just do that without no remorse whatsoever, and if they could do it to America then they could do it to your country. However it's less about Al Quaeda nowadays and more about ISIS.

I've been in the twin towers several times,they were huge,if you took a picture of them you had to literally bend over backwards to actually get the top in ,if you were in the right spot,I cannot imagine the horror of that day,for people to actually jump from such a height must have been horrific,I have watched some footage today,it's still one of the saddest things I have ever seen,the memorial is beautiful and not forgetting those who died at the Pentagon and the plane that was brought down by the passengers to stop it hitting it's target,so many brave people who lost their lives that day .

I have been looking at videos today arista and one said that due to the masses of paper in the towers from the offices etc,that also helped to keep the flames burning that melted the metal,paper of all things.
