-- It's the class of 9/11 6 Year Reunion!
Pages (3): « 1 2 [3]

i prefer the eliminator, but as you wish

I used to have this urge to watch Larry Czonka do that little handbike portion of the eliminator, but then 9/11 happened, and yeah.

Originally posted by Ted Promo I hope Jason, the all-star quarterback, isn't going to be at the 10 year reunion. He totally ruined the 5 year one last year with his no-rules kinda attitude and conflicting deltoids. The women were practically slipping in his sex puddles. Class of '01 was such a rough year. The World Trade Center didn't even have a fucking chess club :/

the upside to these reunions is that we can always count on those free blowjobs you so earnestly provide year after year!


p.s. you are a retard. Put your helmet on and to the back of the special bus off you go!

Originally posted by Frenchie You never really get over things like this. Isn't weird that you don't forget where you were and what you were doing at the time you heard what happened?

No, it's not weird one bit. It's normal for people to remember a particular day quite vividly when something significant happens, especially on the scale of 9/11.

edit: I just realized that this years 9/11 is also on a Tuesday.

I don't really understand the need to outline the anniversary of events like this. How is today different than yesterday, other than the fact that everyone is going to be on edge and panic for no logical reason? Besides it's not like anyone really needs to be reminded of what happened - it's still pretty fresh in the memories of anyone who was affected by it. Note the anniversary after 50 years, that makes more sense.

it's not completely irrational to worry more today. Chances are, nothing will happen. In fact, it's incredibly likely that nothing will happen, but do you really think it's less likely for something to happen today than it was, say, a week ago?

I agree to an extent. The reason why it's still so fresh is because you can't get away from it, especially for people who read a lot of books on current affairs, etc etc.

No, but it's not more likely either.

This day should be renamed to 'national panic day'

I was on the way to work, listening to Howard Stern when all of the sudden he started talking about a plane hitting WTC in NY. I was sitting there thinking Howard was f*cking with the listeners as always, but then I realized it was like internetz - serious business! So, then I thought some goofball got drunk and flew one of those little cesna planes into WTC. I clearly recall thinking "Little Plane: 0, WTC: 1"... but then I got to work and ppl rolled out a TV from conf room and tried to get it to work without antenna. I had to scramble and make a make-shift antena out of network cable. It was just in time to see the second plane hit. sheer realization of the horror and of the tragedy, watching WTC collapse, thinking how many people's lives were lost!

The horror of watching the buildings go down resonated down my spine. I was on top of the WTC only few weeks before the collapse. I went on a dinner cruise boat ride around Manhattan on Friday before the attack and never realized that those pictures I took of WTC reflecting sunset would be the last time I'd see WTC twin towers.

I also remember the first time my mom, dad and I went on top of the WTC observation deck. I was 14 and to me - these buildings were the biggest things I've ever seen and in gloom and dirt of NYC in early 90's they were the only attractive sight in the city.

Another bizzare fact/co-incidence (no sh!t): I had a huge IKEA poster, framed behind glass of the picture of brooklyn bridge and WTC twins. Few days before Sep 11, the picture fell off from the wall and broken glass scraped the poster across the twin towers. After Sep 11, it was very eerie - like a scene in the movie "Omen", where priest sees his picture with what looks like a line across his body and later gets killed by a rod that goes through his body like the line in the picture. It was very spooky.

My heart and thoughts go out to families, friends, and loved ones of the victims of 9/11.

same for me.

i remember he had Pamela Anderson on the phone and the two of them were flirting like crazy until Baba Booey or one of the other guys interrupted and told him what had happened. at first they all just though it was a small plane that had accidentally gone off course or something, so i didn't think it was a big deal. five minutes later i was sitting in my office and i get a phone call from my boyfriend at the time (who was at his office in midtown Manhattan) telling me to turn on the radio.

Stern's coverage of the situation that day was really amazing. he stayed on the radio much longer than he usually does (i think normally his show ended at 10am but he was there until much later in the afternoon) and kept everyone updated on the situation. i've been tempted to go back and listen to the recording of it but i'm not sure that i want to. i already have enough vivid memories of that day.

It's more likely today than it is on almost any other day. It's still highly unlikely, though. 1% is still a lot higher than .5%.

I remember waking up and heading straight to the shower. I overheard my mom crying while she was on the phone. I figured something was wrong but thought nothing of it. Finished getting ready and walked to the kitchen for breakfast. My mom was watching TV. She told me that there are thousands dead in an attack against the United States. That�s how my 9/11 started.

It�s one of those days that one will never forget.

LOL

I wasnt even sure what the World Trade Center even was back then. Me being a little dumbass freshmen in high school, I always referred to the twin towers as the twin towers. I thought the WTC was that building with the stock numbers scrolling on the side like they show on the Today Show all the time right before commercial breaks. I was like 'How did a plane get down there?'

But fuck when I heard about it, I was just scared. I was scared that someone I knew would be there, or that something similar would happen in the Chicago loop, where I KNEW people were. My bro was at work that day and he literally told me that downtown Chitown was chaos, AS IF 9/11 happend there. People were running around screaming thinking planes were gonna hit the Sears Tower. I believe the entire Loop was closed for the whole day, and the Sears Tower observation deck didnt reopen until March of 2002. Funny how the Empire State Building observation deck opened literally days after the attacks, and yet a skyscraper in an entirely different city decided to delay things quite a bit.

Fuckin scary shit. All after school sports were cancelled and everyone was told to go home. It was THEN that i knew this shit was huge, even though we were hundreds of miles away, this whole event was sending shockwaves across the entire country. I hated that day.

Flight made it safely today. There were more people at the airport today than I've seen the last few times I've flown, and it was evident nobody was worried about a thing. Security still sucks, though.

or the irony that is 9/11 and you got fucked by poeple flying.

anyhow a sad day indeed for the united states.

ps. i remember the day bush declared war on afghanistan.. or well "terror" however you want to see it. i was @ home after a day of classes in highschool, no parents home... i have had maybe 7 or 8 beers (at that time enough to get me preatty drunk) and i remember saying "what a fucking idiot" and then i passed out. i fucking hate war

I remember it perfectly.

The TV in my classroom came on by itself, and I saw the towers fall. My teacher was from NY, so she was super reactive

That morning, after swim team practice a girl told me that a plane had hit the towers and I thought she was kidding or something. Then I got to school and found out it was real.

I had just gotten to school when my teacher turned on the TV and we saw the second plane crash, I'll never forget that day.



R.I.P to all of those that died.
