remember where you were?

Yes.. It was right about this time too.... I was getting ready to go to work.

It will always be one of the most tragic and surreal days of my life. As I am sure it will be for most.

KC Airport...not leaving for a while

My son and I were watching the "Conspiracy Theories" last night and was amazed at how far out there people go with thinking it was our government was in on it. I just can't wrap my head around that one.

I was at my old job watching it with my co-workers. Immediately started worrying about a draft because I'm a narcissist.

I was in a math class in college that got out right around that time and then was walking back to my dorm trying to figure out why everyone was acting so f-ing strange on the street and once I got back to my room, finally figured it out.

And I had that program on last night while I was doing some work at home and just kept thinking, "hmmmm, who do I believe, a professional engineer, or some 28 year old in a black t-shirt?"

was sleeping after night shift phone call woke me up/'ARE YOU WATCHING THIS..turned on the tv and was shocked to see the second plane live..popped in a vcr tape and recorded the rest of the day..including the interview with a person in shanksville pa who saw 'rails of light' before the crash..you never saw that after..then a sonic boom the day after ..rockford
f-16 was after a mistaken plane..then taking my boys outside and said listen..no jets..we lived in palatine right in the flight path of ohare..

I was driving in to work and as I pulled in the national news on the radio at the top of the hour (6:00am PST) said that it appeared a small plane hit a tower of the World Trade Center - bummer, I thought. I did my morning rounds unlocking buildings at a to-be-unnamed west coast university and by the time I got into the office and turned on the TV all h*ll was breaking loose. I was glued to the TV and an hour or so later folks started coming in to the office. We talked about it a bit, realized it was a big deal but then, people just went back to doing their job. It was like it was just another news flash and then we all went back to preparing for games that week. Nobody cried, nobody went home, nobody was really bothered by what happened, everyone was focused on their jobs and the day went on. In hindsight, it was an amazing surreal day - it made me realize that the west coast and east coast (and the middle of the US) really could all be their own countries... either that or I worked with a bunch of really focused, self-centered, workaholics... actually, that's probably what it was :zz:

Cannot believe next year is 10 years already. Moving ceremony this morning.

First plane, 2 blocks away. Second Plane about 25 yards away

i can't believe it's been that long and nothing has been rebuilt. i think they should build the tallest tower in the world, with four smaller towers-two on either side of it. that way, it looks like we're giving everyone the bird....to rebuild would have been the ultimate reply to that attack-it would show that we can't be stopped, won't change, give in; knock us down and we come back even stronger. that would have made a bigger statement than anything else that could be done- or in this case, not done.

I never saw this tribute commercial until someone put it on facebook today. Beautiful.

Goosebumps and tears.

That was really good.

this might be your best post evah!:)

good lord, i hope not...

i know there is a plan, supposedly construction has begun. and they aren't planning on using my suggestion!

They are going to have a giant replica of goatse on the roof of the tower. It will serve as a target for the next terrorist attack and also as an overall stance of the current administration to the war on terror.

what is the current admin's stance anyway? it mostly seems a continuation of our former stance.

It is. Waste billions destroying the country they're attacking and then rebuild said country.

It's a winning strategy.
