Sept., 11th, 2001.........where were you?

[floridaguy64]

When the two American Airlines' jets crashed into the twin towers of the World Trade Center............ The other AA jetliner slammed into the Pentagon,............ and the 4th AA jetliner vertically plowed into a field in Pennsylvania (the White House, for it not for the couragious passengers that decided that they would not be part of the downfall of American society as we know it).........

Where were you?

Did you happen to hear the events as they unfolded on the radio?........ Did you see them on T.V.?

What were your feelings?.......... When you heard............ viewed....... 1st learned of the events???????????


On This coming Monday............. we will have come upon the six month anniversary of the most aggregious and horrendous attack upon the freedom that America was founded upon. I suggest that we as freedom loving citizens of Earth.............. stand up and shout........... We will not stand idely by,...... we will not vannish with the winds........ We will fight to the death......... And by God........... we will prevail!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


I am a 3rd generation United States Marine...................
I have been the first to go, and the last to know............ I have seen war firsthand,......... both in person and from afar..............I have both taken life, and seen life snuffed out before my eyes.......

My brothers and sisters have been murdered in NYC............ I will take vengeance, and I will show the world that conduct such as this will not go unpunished................ how do you feel?

I am more than able to take arms for the freedom that we enjoy and are priviledged to enjoy by the nature of those that have forfieted their lives, so that we can.......................... would you???

Your opinion?????????

I was in Midtown on my way to work. It was an experience that I can't reflect on right now…

I was still asleep. I had a night class the night before so it was my morning to sleep till at least 10am... The phone rang then I heard my roommate scream and jumped out of bed. I was standing in awe as I watched the television. My mom called and asked if I had heard from my brother and sister in law who were supposed to be flying that morning.
To everyone's relief that I had taken a midnight flight the night before

 

[OldAllisWD45]

I was at work. I got into the truck as the reports of the first plane came in. I thought it was just some sort of terrible accident. Then on my way to my next property I heard about the second plane and knew then it wasnt an accident. I knew at that moment that it was some kind of sinister plot.

My crew and I worked sporadicly the rest of the day. Each of us took turns listening to the radio as things unfolded.

I remember the eerie quiet that came as people stopped thier normal activities. Traffic became non existant. The skies were filled with the noise of returning aircraft looking for places to land. When I finally got home late that afternoon and "saw" the images for the first time the disbelief became shock........ some of that shock still lingers.



I heard about this a day or two ago. In one of the army outposts in Afganastan is a sign that reads "It is God's responsibility to forgive Osama Bin Laden. It is our responsibility to arrange the meeting."

God Bless Our Leaders

And God Bless Our Defenders in Uniform

I was at work, didn't know a thing until my mom called me and told me what was going on, after I turned off the music and turned on the tuner, we took turns listening at the best speaker (right next to the canned goods of course) and I remember knowing that I just wanted to go home and be with my family. I didn't know anyone that was there, but I did live there at one time and it saddened me greatly.

I personally fell to my knees........... in utter shock and horror that this could occur upon American soil.

"It is God's responsibility to forgive Osama Bin Laden. It is our responsibility to arrange the meeting."

Please God....................... Please........... Let me be the one to deliver the invitation!

It was mid-afternoon in France and I was driving to a meeting in Alencon of the governing body of an alcoholics' hostel.
The French were absolutely with you. You've had our real support and you have done a great job so far. My fear is that you'll fuck it all up by going for Iraq. My desire is that your military threats will turn to dialogue.

 

[Cheyenne]

That's easy. I was here, just like I am most mornings during breakfast. If you want to read what we were thinking, as it happened, get yourself a box of kleenex for the tears. Here it is:

Iraq is okay in my book.............. Hell, we even funded them against Iran for two decades..................

Saddam Hussien, on the other hand........... the genocidal bastard!............ I'd kill that bastard myself................ give me the chance O' Lord............ just grant me the chance!!!

My tears........... my soul............. my heart is with you!

I served,........ as a 3rd generation US Marine................

When I heard of the 1st tower attack............ my heart lept from my chest............. to this day, I challenge anyone to tell me that those acts were anything but sheer evil, Terroristic acts committed upon the citizenry of the peace loving inhabitants of Earth.

Nothing more............ Nothing less.

 

[freakygirl]

Shit

I'm reading the thread that Cheyenne linked.. I have goosebumps and the hair on my arms is standing up. It's like reliving it again

 

[Cheyenne]

I was in tears before I got to the bottom of the first page. There hasn't been enough time yet to be able to read that thread without emotion. I don't think there ever will be.

 

[truegentleman]

I just turned the tv on as the second plane hit.

I spent the next hour trying to get in touch with a friend to make sure she was safe. Luckily she didn't go into the city that day.

 

[bored1]

I was home,I turned the TV on in time to see that the first building had been hit........Then the 2nd plane hit.......I was numb,Just writing this gives me chills.........I thought about my kids...if they were alright..................I was angry at an unseen enemy.....My anger has turned to hate towards the perpetrators....I dont think it will ever subside

The difficult time was actually leaving NYC. I felt that I was adbandoning it and the events struck a chord within me and the city. On one hand it was a disaster and enveloped so much anger, pain, confusion and emptiness. On the other hand, it woke America up and put a check on how we are so vulnerable. Such is life and the loss of lives and jobs, but it also did an unkind favor by shifting the economy. NYC was getting to expensive and corporate and now things are stabalizing in a sense. Rents are lower and NYC is a bit more friendlier.

That day was like a milestone in my life. To walk out of the office and see the smoke blanketing the skies. To know that the energy was pierced with sadness and confussion. Each second passing by and wondering what was happening

Here, right here...

on Lit, with the TV on and two phones ringing as people in London contacted me constantly wanting up-to-date personal information from the States....

Literotica was the best place for that.

It was a long day...

IMO the best site was and is http://www.salon.com and the boards there. They have *excellent* writers and posters. Sometimes when you don't always have sex on the brain, you can see the light much better, ha!

 

[Phoenyx]

Was Eating Breakfast after the first one hit.
Saw the second one hit. Even now I get shivers when I think of it.
the rest of the day at work we were crowded TV at work or trying to find info on the net.

I heard about this a day or two ago. In one of the army outposts in Afganastan is a sign that reads "It is God's responsibility to forgive Osama Bin Laden. It is our responsibility to arrange the meeting."

Thats been my sig line for the past few weeks.

 

[Phoenyx]

the only thing that get me is how on all the news reports i read or hear they allways say

3000 Americans lost their lives in the Trade Centre Colapse.

But almost half of those peole were foreiners working there, I allway wonder why they dont just say 3000 people lost their lives.

 

[IA951]

where was I?

I had just got home from work, I worked third shift at the time, and had turned on the television to the "today" show and was eating breakfast. I saw the first plane hit as well as the second. live,in real time.
I was not sure what exactly the hell was going on.
Only that nothing would ever be the same again.

 

[AusTess]

I always planned on this being my dirty little secret.

But no shit,I was sitting with he Who Thinks He's Boss,watching Rove,I think.
An Aussie show,You yanks wouldn't get the humour.
Anyway the news was next on,and all of a sudden there was Anne Fullwood,another thing you yanks wont get,an Aussie newsreader.
She said what was going on,i kinda glanced at the tele,then went to bed.
Thought nothing of it til i woke up the next morning and it hit me like a tonne of shit.




I'll always feel like a cunt for going to bed that night.

Always.

If you want to stand up and shout for freedom, then you'd best shout against the U.S. Gov't. The destruction of civil liberties for "safety" and to get us used to having a military presence in our lives.

And another thing... How can people say that the terrorists haven't "won"? They destroyed the towers, and destroyed the 4th amendment, and it's being worked so that the 1st and second will join them. Incredible successful.

Americans.

"3000 Americans lost their lives in the Trade Centre Colapse.

But almost half of those peole were foreiners working there, I allway wonder why they dont just say 3000 people lost their lives."

I think because, we as a nation accept as our own those who work and live with us in this nation. Yes, they were from "other countries" but on that day, at that place, we all embraced every one as "American"!
