Default September 11th - 8 Years On..

Weird to think that this was 8 years ago, thought I'd make a thread to discuss it.

Anyone remember what they were doing when they found out about the attacks????

I remember I was ill that day, so I stayed at home and watched it on the news.

Was a sad day.

I hate when a relative or friend is somewhere when something terrible happens....

My brother has photos of him on top of the Twin Towers 2 months to the date before it happened, really weird to look at knowing all them people died...

My main memory of that day is the relief at the fact that the Statue of Liberty wasn't damaged, not sure why, I guess I was young at the time and the towers didn't mean much then.

I have since realise the tragedy of the occasion.

I remember that day like it was yesterday.

Honestly I'm shocked that its 8 years already.

I remember seeing ground zero, it was pitch black.

Sad day.

Also its crazy that Osama Bin Laden is still out there free somewhere.

My sister's ex boyfriend was on a plane from New York when it happened. He didn't find out anything until he got home like 12 hours later, his mum was going apeshit at home.

and this guy in my history class, was immigrating from Russia to England when it happened and it was announced on the plane as they landed.

I was at school, I remember us being told but I didn't think that much of it at first [I never was one for world news as a child, regardless of how tragic] and then being really confused when I got home and one of my favourite shows wasn't on TV that night and my parents had to explain to me why.

i got a news alert on my computer.

i spent the rest of the day watching sky news,

as time goes on, i find it harder to watch or read anything about it.

i could not watch voices from the towers, a programme about peoples last phone calls.

if you want to take your own life...fine

but leave other people alone.

My cousin was in NY city at that moment because she went to see Michael Jackson live. She still can't describe what she felt when the towers fell. To her it was another world, she ran ran and ran in the streets and she managed to hide from the smoke.

7 World Trade Center has been completely rebuilt (the smaller one that noone really cares about) and the site of the main towers looked like this in July, so no they aren't really that far
