Can anyone remember what it is that we will never forget? Is it just ancient history, or is it just the one moment in time that changed my life?

 

I can recall everything I did that day!

My wife was 7 1/2 mon prego with my daughter I had been asleep for 2 1/2 hrs from my night shift working on F-14 Tomcats with the Navy ( still there) I remember thinking IT'S GONNA BE A LONG DAY!!! went right back into work and loaded all or our Jets with Pheniox missiles I kept asking myself what sorta world am I bringing this kid into.......another kid later and a tour in Iraq......like my Email name says
proud2bamerican@***.net .........guess that is why I'm STILL in the service!!

 

Those who have forgotten don't deserve to live in the US.

 

My oldest girl shared a dorm in college with a gal that died in the first tower hit. As near as we can tell, it must have almost hit her desk. It was her first day on the job. Our family won't forget. But I'm among those that think there was a lot more to the incident than just airplanes hitting the towers. If yer an engineer, you know there were explosives in the building or for the first time in known history of mankind, simple physics took a holiday. The pyroclastic flow from the buildings was like waving a flag saying "there's a lot of explosives that just went off", but nobody cares to listen to science. Here's a short vid of what I mean:

Add that the buildings had 3 crumple zones in the verticals to shed the debris should there be a failure and yet all 3 failed- in both buildings! Add the debris fall was indicative of explosives and would not have fallen as it did. The debris field was far, far too wide. Add there was a satellite report of temps near 3500F in the fallen debris. That's not normal and jet fuel would have burned off by then but doesn't burn but at 1800F anyway. Add the telltale signs thermite cuts on the beamage as shown on almost every TV in the nation. No, it was not the airplanes that brought the towers down. But that's not what this thread is about.

 

Just like the elderly people I've always heard say, They remember what they were doing when they heard the news about Pearl Harbor. Somethings, you just don't forget.

 

Oh dear. Did the goverment put those explosives in the builiding too? Stuff happens all the time that shouldnt happen, but does. What about the titanic. Was that terrorists too? It was the unsinkable ship that had all the water barriers. And it sank like a rock.

 

yeah, went to school, found out then in first hour and class was locked down for 30 mins until the school decided idaho was safe. lol

 

I'll always remember it. I was still in the RAF at the time sat on the Runway at RAF Marham doing and end change for the arrester gears. It came over the radio "Some idiots just flown a small microlight plane thing into the trade towers in NY!" Thought not much of it and carried on. How wrong those first trickles of information were!!! Not 5 mins later a all stations call came out and we all headed back to our sections.We were sat in the canteen watching the footage on tv when the 2nd plane hit, thats when all hell let loose. We were all scrambled, All jets up!!! Thank god id finished the runway end change!! I think we stayed up in the the air for the next 2-3 days before we dropped down a security level. A few months later i was out playing in the kitty litter!!

 

It hit me a lot harder than it did many other young Midwesterners.

I was standing at the base of those towers 2 weeks before the attach.

 

I was sitting in my 7th grade english class when the first plane hit. We thought it was just a private plane until another plane hit the other one... Then it just seemed like horror the rest of the day.

For all the lunatics saying the country deserved it and say the terrorist were doing a noble thing, **** them straight to hell.

 

Remember it very well, working just across the river from the towers. I was involved in the cleanup later

 

7th grade as well.... spelling test was while watching coverage.... no lock downs though, we were in the ghetto, we were safe

 

I was in 8th grade, when we switched class one class had the tv on and everyone was surrounding it. I only saw a few seconds of it then the principal came in and shut off the tv. My mom picked me up from school and brought me home to watch the news.

 

Senior year of high school just started. I walked out of my first period Networking class and an aquaintance told me a plane hit one of the towers. Didn't think much of it at all while I walked to my next class. Thought about it a bit more the next two classes and then I went home for lunch and flicked the tv on. Pretty hard to take in. They were already talking about Bin Laden at that point.

 

I was in 5th grade. I'll never forget it. Not much info at school was given out. I remember going home and watching the little tv on the kitchen counter and remeber a reporter trying to ask a cop a question but the cop kept running and just held up his hand. Amazing the little things you remember.
