it was my 2nd day of 6th grade...i remember walking to school...how nice it was outside. then i remember my comign and getting me and us running to get my sister...we went home and i could see the towers from my roof...went up there nothing but dust...did u ever see the video of people running away from a huge dust cloud? my father was one of them, came home caked in soot. i have a firehouse on my block, 4 of them died another station a few blocks away had literally every member die...the neighborhood had a vigil for them. I cried alot that day because thats my home...i had been to the top of those 2wice, and loved those buildings, all the times id ride over the manhattan bridge and see them lit up. Everyone that says they didnt care: 3000 people died that day. AMERICANS. people just going to work. Fire fighters saving lives. My friend went to stuyvesant HS which is literally across the street from the buildings...he saw bodies hit the ground. he saw limbs in the street. That day changed history FOREVER. I will never forget.

If ur not from NY, DC or their surrounding area I dont think u can truly understand the impact. My godmother (my moms best friend) worked down the block from the WTC. She did a lot of her banking in their and had they hit it a couple of hours later she would've actually been in their herself. I just went home cut on my stereo and played PS2 all day. I dont think I even cut on a TV the whole day. Thankfully no one really close to me personally died that day but I know some ppl that had family members and friends that died. I never went inside the twin towers though.

Not being from the region is no excuse for ignorance and indifference don't give them that.

Nah not saying that @ all. Basically just saying that in relation to ppl who are from those places that were directly effected they cant fathom what it was like. Being in that actual place in time physically is different from watching on TV.

I was in college, 3rd week of freshman year. Was at the gym playing ball with my best friend, then we went to go use some free weights and we see people standing around the tv's all worried.
So we walk over to see whats happening, and the 1st tower got hit. So we're watching a little bit, then head back to the dorm. When we get back people tell us the 2nd plane hit and shit just got all chaotic after that.

I fell asleep the night before listening to Blueprint 1,woke up and they were showing footage of the first plane hit(It looked like a movie preview).As soon as they finished that footage plane #2 hit,I woke the folks up,folks called New York(we have fam in Brooklyn). Played PS1 while listening to Blueprint the rest of the day.

I was actually walking to Best Buy to get 'The Blueprint'. When I went to the electrions department, everyone was watching the TV and I stayed there watching for about 20 minutes til the first Tower fell.

I didnt know what the WTC was either.

I lived in Leeds (UK) at the time and I was still on holiday before going back to uni. I was at home playing final fantasy 8 and listening to the radio when the show was interupted for the first plane. I then watched it on CNN because I couldn't believe anyone could do that accidently. I stopped watching and went back to play on the PS2 and the second report came on. I then spent the rest of the afternoon and evening watching it. It was the most shocking day I can ever remember and I was over 3000miles away
