I was in my junior year chemistry class with my teacher Mr. McCullough (who I HATED). I sat right up front by the window in the first right in front of my best friend. At this point, we had already heard about a plane crashing into the WTC’s, but everyone thought it was one little plane. What’s really weird is the first kid I heard it from actually died about a year later. It wasnt til we got to this class that we actually learned how bad it was. At 10:23, our prinicpal came on our tvs to tell us that the towers were indeed hit by two planes and one had just fallen. The looks on peoples faces... it’s like impossible to explain. Watching grown men and women crying in the halls. Our teacher, who was a huge prick, even looked as if he was about to break down. It felt like someone had stuck a dagger in my heart. The worst part was the next period, which was gym. In my chem class, you could barely see the smoke. But outside, all you saw was huge clouds of smoke billowing up, covering all of NYC, just 12 miles away. People were just sitting down crying to themselves...hugging people they barely talk to. As sad as it was, it was quite moving. I think the thing that pissed me off the most was that after that, the school released no further info... they wanted to ‘shelter’ us. This probably added to the chaos. In lunch, the tv came on again and everyone got quiet, but no info. They just wanted a moment of silence. During it, a group of palestinian kids started yelling and a whole brawl ensued, chairs flying. Shit like this carried on for weeks after. Jerkoff kids pulling scarves off muslim girls heads, palestinian kids wearing their flags over their clothes in response to kids wearing american flags who they say were ‘taunting them’. IT was honestly probably the craziest/saddest/most moving time in my life to date. blah end rant/venting | ||

I was in my first year of college in Rochester, NY I slept in that morning until my nextdoor neighbor busted in with O.O eyes and shook me awake then told me to come. Being half-awake I followed him into his room and I looked at what he was pointing at- the TV. I had seen the smoke coming out of the tower and such. I was like "wow nice effects What movie is this?" .. until shortly later I had realized itsreal. Twas pretty hard to accept it right away. | ||

For most of us, particularly those living in the US or North America, the Sept/11/01 attacks are probably the most significant historic event of our time. It affected thousands of lives in an instant and continues to change the lives of countless others. Sure, 'people die', but rarely do their deaths have such far reaching implications on our own lives. Of course I'm old enough to remember the fall of the soviet union, so lucky me. | ||

Try to be mature and keep certain comments to yourself. Is that so much to ask? Go flame somewhere else. You wouldn't want someone claiming your death was insignificant or mocking it in some way, would you? Respect is something that some people really need to learn. Please observe it for just a few more hours. You wouldn't be saying those things if it was your mother, father, brother or sister in those towers. | ||

Wordings like that make my blood boil. My request is that next time you feel the need to comment on a sensative topic which directly impacted some fellow TL.net members, do it via PM and keep the conversations private. I'm sure TheOvermind77 and fanatacist would've preferred it that way as well, and it would have been a nice courtesy to the people of TL.net who had a connection with this event. Thank you. | ||
