the videos of the news reports coming in throughout the day are pretty awful. there was a cbs report a few days/weeks later with uninterrupted videotape of someone who was down there that day and id like to watch that again one day if anyone knows of it. | ||

The first plane hit at ~8:45 AM Local time, which was 14:45 in Germany. My last class had ended at 14:30 and for a reason I don't remember I went to my room to sleep for an hour or two (must have been a long night or w/e) and when I woke up again I had an ICQ message flashing (only used ICQ at the time, no MSN, etc) from a friend of mine telling me about that 2 planes crashed into WTC. I didn't believe a word of it, but the news sites I checked told me it was true. I immediatly left for the TV room we had on our floor, where most of us were already gathered. Stayed there for basically the whole day. | ||

I got picked up at school around 11:30 AM and my dad was really quiet, his eyes were looking at the horizon, he seemed to be with his mind really far away. Then after we were already on the car on the way home he said to me "Son, some terrorists kidnapped a plane and bombed it against the WTC" i was like 12, so i asked, whats terrorists ?! and wtf is the WTC He spend the time until we got home talking about the american incursions on the middle east, and about the 6 day wars, and why those guys tough it was worth it to explode themselves to kill thousands of fellow human beings. I was scared, i was anxious, but nothing prepared me for seeing the second plane, and I remember exacly how i felt like. "there must be some kind of retaliation, this isnt fair, or right, its just crazy." | ||

By stating "Don't be ignorant," I simply meant lets not be insensitive to the nature of what happened. BTW, my statement was not targeted at you, OP. Oh yeah for sure, there are alot of documents and whatnot about how it was planned by the government of the U.S but people did lose lives. This also brings another thing up when I was talking about this with some friends, one guy said that millions of others died in the holocaust and in Africa from genocide, whats the difference between those and 9/11? Simply put, I think its because it happened in the U.S. | ||

If we were talking about Darfur, Southeast Asia, or the tens of thousands of innocent civilians who died in the middle east due to war, It would be a different conversation. By real people, I meant its not something the media conjured up. So don't think you're being righteous with your statement. I still don't understand what you mean by "REAL people". In this last post of yours you were talking about Darfur, and other tragedies in the world, then you comment about what the media have conjured up. Although it does sound like you mean that all other major conflicts in the world are just made up by the media, I doubt that's what you mean. If I just take the line, "By real people, I meant its not something the media conjured up", I don't know what you mean. What does the media have to do with explaining what you think "REAL" people are? And I wasn't trying to be righteous with my statement. I was just trying to point out that the fact that thousands of people died on 9/11 wasn't such a major loss compared to every other day, when it comes down to hardship. | ||

and that is not a fact, that's your opinion. How can you say 2000 deaths is not a major loss?? Your opiniated statement would be different if your mother was in that building. | ||

The second plane hit just after 9 and then everyone knew this wasn't some crazy accident. Quite a few students had parents who worked in the towers so people were starting to get frantic. They decided to close school at 11, or let anyone who could drive or get an earlier ride leave immediately. The first tower collapsed just before 10, and it was hard to tell looking from where we were exactly what was happening. It wasn't until they said on TV that the tower was collapsing that we knew what was going on. The clouds of smoke, dust and debris at this point were very thick and it was hard to make out what was what. The north tower dropped about 30 minutes later. It was the most surreal thing I've ever seen, and probably will be for a very long time. | ||

There's a quote button for a reason. I remember being in grade 10 Spanish class, when the principle came on the intercom and reported that the WTC had been hit by planes etc. No one thought much of it (none of us knew much about the WTC, let alone what it stood for) and went back to doing nothing in that class. It was only later, while me a few friends were walking around during lunch, that we realized what had happened when we saw a bunch of people in the school library watching CNN and the events earlier in the day. I came home that day and my mom was sitting on the couch watching CNN...I think I stayed there for at least 5 hours, before finally getting up to leave. | ||

I was coming in from school and I was still taking off my shoes when I saw my dad already in the house watching TV, and I knew something was up. (My dad usually works that day until like 7 so yeah) My mom asked my dad what was up and my dad said that a building was burning and that he had to walk from work (SoHo) back to our home in Queens. I looked at the TV and saw the buildings burning, but I didn't really feel any emotion. (I was in the 3rd grade)It was just like another terrorist attack that was on the news everyday, but it was years later when I finally knew what went on..  RIP | ||

It wasn't until my 5th period gym class that you saw how fucked the whole situation was. I'm in Jersey, about a stone's throw away from NYC (actually going there tonight for a friend's bday. He's Arabic and born on 9/11. Talk about shit luck) and we're outside and you can see the skyline just covered in thick, black smoke. People are crying, calling relatives to see that they're ok (I think my city had a total of 8 people die in it, very lucky, considering we have a very large population that works in the city) The worst was after school got out. I live near two ghettos that have a large Arabic population. My neighbor at work owns a Arabic nuts store and he got his window smashed, death threats, etc. There was rumors of arabs cheering in the streets there and there gang fights, white, black, spanish vs arabs. Chaos. Really never seen anything like that day, and hopefully, never will again. | ||

Anyway, I was in 8th grade at the time and I was listening to the radio while being driven to school and I heard them talking about it, I didn't really know what to think till I got to my first class and saw the news on TV. We spent the whole time talking/watching news about it, honestly, I felt the event was distant for me because I didn't know anyone affected by it. | ||

and since i m not american and didnt know anyone that could have possibly have been there, ya the whole event felt pretty distant to me too. besides, 2 buildings fell apart... that doesnt sound like a big deal to me. imo, having 2 fewer buildings and 3k few ppl on this planet happens every year. imo, rather than invading some middle east country, all those man power and money could have been better spent else where. besides, by virtue of getting into this war on terror, theres been more americans killed, and many more to die, after 9/11 than those died on 9/11. i think the american gov has inflicted more damage on america than bin laden did. | ||

i get home, and find out my dad was evacuated from his office, where he could literally see the smoke from the pentagon where he was, and they asked me if I heard what had happened. turns out the next day, my neighbor who was a friend of mine at the time, his mom died at the pentagon, and his parents were divorced, and he had no idea what happened because the school told him there were lightning storms, and he didn't turn on the t.v. didn't find out what happened to his mom until the next day. | ||

Before you jump bandwagon at me, read this. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Northwoods You have to understand that US is a nation that has to have war one way or another to survive. USA has long history of fabricating evidences and manufacturing misleading events in order to justify the war. Just look at how bush attacked Iraq with WMD and Hussein- Laden connection which later are proved fradulent. Lately bush administration got busted for falsely linking death of US soldiers to weapons supplied by Iranian government. Sadly it won't be long until Iran gets attacked by US. I think US is behind a lot of the events that are perceived as terrorist activities by rest of the world. It's very co-incidental how and when these events take place, for example when Germany openly opposed the idea of war against Iraq, there is hostage taking in German embassy in Iraq which sways the minds of the German public. There was a fair amount of conspiracy theories that the US was behind the event. When there was a massive anti-war demonstration that took place in France, soon after French oil tanker that was stationed in Port Yemen gets bombed supposedly by Al Queda. When there was a strong anti war sentiment among Australian public, BOOM! there goes Bali bombing where 50% of the death consists of Aussie clubbers. How fucking convenient? I won't go into the Bali bombing conspiracy at this point but do your research and draw individual conclusion about the event. and there's 9/11... which US comfortably concludes soon after that Bin Laden is behind the attack and launches attack on Afganistan for it. + Show Spoiler + Watch from part 1 ~9. Even BBC recently did a docu on the subject questioning the official statement released by the government surrounding 9/11. Japanaese Councilor questioned the 911 at the House of Councillors in the national paliament for good 30 minutes and attacks government support for war + Show Spoiler + It's also ironic that the terrorist activities are usually practiced by very organisations that the US government has been funding and supporting both directly and indirectly. All these bullshit terrorist propaganda and axis of evil campaign is comical to me. It's also very evident that the US is not capable of serving as a arbitratior of world conflicts as they're the one fuelling and encouraging the chaos for national benefit. I don't blame them though, had it been Russia or China as world dominant power, it wouldn't have been much different. Poll: 9/11. Act of terror or an inside job by US?

A better comparison would be how many people die in Darfur or how many battles happen on the Gaza Strip every day. Seriously fucking heart disease? 9/11 is just like Pearl Harbor, we were fucking attacked and it was really sad to see people jumping from 100 story windows do you understand why this was sad now? Do you understand why this means shit to people? Pearl harbor was over 60 years ago and we still mourn those that died that day, so if you dont care about it thats fine but making it seem like it was just another day in the life is really fucking insulting, go home you uncouth fuck face. | ||
