    Was at work on East 63rd street in NYC getting a cup of coffee from the Greek diner across the street. 1st plane hit was like wtf, 2nd one hit and had no clue what would happen next. Within an hour all you saw was fire engines and emergency vehicles heading downtown, and people in suits and dressed for work walking up town. Lost 2 HS classmates that day, one a firefighter the other worked for Cantor Fitzgerald. Getting home that day was an adventure to say the least.

    Just in case for those who haven't checked in or for the new members.
    Bump seems appropriate as we haven't forgotten.

    I was in New York-Penn station, just arrived on a train.

    I was walking past the Mansfield Hotel when I heard someone say a plane hit the WTC.

    Was on my week off. (7 on, 7 off) Mother in law calls and says the trade centers are under attack. I said, again?

    Was glued to the TV for the rest of the day. What really pissed me off was when the fukking middle east was cheering
    and burning our flags.

    Got back to work and I guess one of the guys was busting on a middle eastern that works there. Instead of being calm,
    this middle eastern c ock sucker makes a fukking paper airplane and throws it into the wall in front of the guy.
    It took 10 guys to hold him back. Needless to say, the middle eastern didn't work there much longer. A US flag has been
    at the employee entrance ever since.

    With our continued involvement with the middle east, it seems like yesterday the trade centers were hit.

    Printing. Used to be 5 days a week until we had to work about every week end. People weren't getting time off,
    is when they went 12 hours. Some would work 5-2, 4-3 or 7-7. I was 7-7. That 6th and 7th day were killer.
    They let me go in '09. Slow sales and internet put a hurting on printing.

    Sleeping. Second week of my freshman year, had barely turned 18.

    Got a call from a coworker of my dad that my dad was alright which woke me up.

    He was set to take a plane out of JFK that morning.

    Surreal to say the least. Made we want to join the army and shoot a bunch of hadji's - and I am about as unpatriotic as it gets.

    Working online... I saw a vague reference to it but didn't think a whole lot about it and continued working. By the time I finally turned on the TV the second plane had just hit. A day I think everyone will remember forever.

    This is why racism is still alive and very well. These heathens of society I want to strangle with my bare hands.

    anybody realize that when lots of white people die its a national tragedy.. 9/11, columbine, sandy hook.. but when blacks die, somehow the whites have to first figure out if we deserved it! like wtf? chicago been a kiiling zone since the 60's and nobody gives a penetrate, Trayvon dies and b4 justice can be served we first have to figure out if he's a thug or not, New orleans goes under water and the people have to sit on roof tops for 2 weeks while the whites decide on our lives.. at some point we gonna have to treat their tragedies like they treat ours! rant over..
    Damn thats epic and im stealing it because its so true, if only more black folks came to this realization[/QUOTE]

    It was the middle of the afternoon for us in the UK and was at work counting down the hours till I could go get a beer and someone came in and put the news on the big screen saying that a plane had hit the WTC. At this point the UK news were still saying it was thought to be a light aircraft but you could see from the smoke that it must have been a larger plane - then as we were watching you saw the 2nd plane hit and everyone went silent.

    The thing I remember most about that day is that the UK News were pretty slow in reporting the updates of everything else that happened that day, and there was a thread on a different gambling forum (that I used to frequent back in the day) and I was just constantly hitting refresh to see find out what else was happening and found the info on there was a good couple of minutes faster than the UK news - when I saw on there about the one hitting the pentagon and told my workmates they still didn't fully believe me until the news showed it a few mins later.

    Getting ready to go to school....senior year in hs. It was late start. Dad woke me up, I asked him what's going on and he said something bad has happened. Never will forget his response because he's not a person to put gloom in a situation but when he said that, I knew it was serious
