Plane crashes into World trade Center

This thread is a snapshot of history, it should really be saved as a "What were people thinking when this event happened" kind of thing.

I say to myself that this shit doesn't affect me anymore, that I won't be able to watch TV tonight because it's just gonna be more 9/11 bullshit.

Then I re-read this thread from start to finish and it feels like I'm right back there the morning it happened.

This thread should be archived.

I wanted to jump outta my goddamn body to find all those people lost. Especially one kids father. He worked for Cantor-Fitzgerald, on the 105th floor. He hadn't a chance in hell. His kid now sees me as a father figure. I'm 17 years old. I know I could never measure up to what his father was. However I will do whatever I can to make my "brother" feel like he's not alone.

In addition to what everyone seems to say about the TV tonight. I suggest you watch it. New points of view are always there. Just take time to listen. Please keep this thread.

This thread should be bumped every year ... <3

Amen to that. For lack of a better metaphor, it's a bit like picking a scab. I guess some things are better left bleeding.

My grandparents live 2 blocks from the trade center. I talked to them after the planes hit and they were fine.

my gawd ... i cant imagine what SD was goin thru ... having no idea if your gf was okay ...

damn

Fortunatly, no one in my family was hurt, but it's still said to see other people....sad

Been through a lot of emotions today as I listen to the stories about people lost and families left behind. I am going to sit down again tonight and tell my wife and daughter how much I care for and love them. I'm always throwing out "i luv yous" to them... but tonight I'm going to imagine that i only have 2 min. to talk to them before I never see them again.

This event was like our collective generations' Pearl Harbor. That's the only reference I have for it.

While I often disagree with many people here, thanks for being some of the folks I shared this time with. It's odd to have a handle on the reactions of so many people I hardly know, and am seperated from by such distances and the annonymity of the internet. The soldiers at Pearl must have had similar feelings, I guess, not knowing most of the people around them, yet sharing such an awful experience with them. Gives you a little heart despite what is going on.

Peace.

damn guys. :(

:heart: to all.

just wanted to pay my respects one last time... :cry:
