You live in New York, yet you see 9/11 as a Just Cause...
as much as I don't want to see this explode into a political discussion, i'm intrigued as to why you feel this way. |

I was a junior in college in Philly. I woke up exactly at 10 AM, walked to the living room to see the second tower collapse. I tried to call my family in NYC on my cell (NYC area code) but the lines were jammed the entire day. I had to use a LAN line just to reach my parents. Classes got cancelled that day.
When I got back to my room, one of my good HS friends IMed me since he was freaking out cuz his uncle worked for Cantor Fitzgerald on the 104th floor and has two young children. I start getting IM after IM from my old high school buddies finding out that one guy's sister is missing, another guy's father was a firefighter trying to save lives, my sophmore english teacher's son was also in the building, etc. Needless to say, it was a very long night trying to find out who was missing.
When I got the alumni magazine from our HS a month later, it listed that 10 alums from my HS died and 40-45 relatives of faculty, staff, students and alumni perished when the towers fell. :( |

Wow! Could you describe a couple of the things you saw? Its fine if you cant, i'd understand...But much of the truth gets sugarcoated when things like 9/11 happen. |

| I was in 11th grade. We had some of those class assembly's in the GYM early that morning. On our way back, its always a little bit of playing around and chilling with the friends on the way back to class. I happened to enter to one of my friends class to drop him off, while at it I walked in to say hi to my social studies teacher ( she was hot ).. so as the morning announcements were about to go on the TV ( the school has school news through TV ).. one of the students in the class turns on the TV, and starts switching channels tours the one.. while at it, there's like this building burning and saying CNN on bottom. The teacher gets mad and says "stop watching movies!! turn on the announcements.. ".. then he's like, this is CNN!!!.. so we realized that its the twin towers, when my teacher puts a serious Face, I rushed to MY class, Engineering, and everyone is just sitting down watching the news with a WTF face.. 5 mins and the whole school switches classes. Not everyone knows about it yet, so I rush to my Math class, no teacher is there, so I go ahead and turn on the TV .. all the students coming in surprised, including me, with what was going on. The math teacher goes in sees the TV, and goes mad, but when she realices its real news.. we watched for like 30 mins, and we see the tower go down.. everyone is speechelss. Short after, we have lunch, in the cafeteria, everyone is watching silently, there's this very wierd vibe going on. So as we are watching second tower is down. Now what happens next is just parents going paranoid outside of the school.. like a mile long of cars picking students up. It was a bad day. |

| I was sleeping and my mom came in my room and told me that planes were flying into New York. This was right after the second plane hit, so it was confusing as to what was happening or what else was going to happen. I went to school and all the tv's were on with coverage of the problem. Then in all my classes, the teachers went on with their lessons and turned of the tv's, so it I was discovering something new about it after every class. |

i was on my way to my 2nd period class. when i got there everyone was talking about what just happened, a few minutes later one of the teachers said that another plane crashed and it was a boeing not a small cesena or something, that's what everyone thought originally.
about 20 minutes later, i was on my way to my next class and i stepped out side where we saw smoke rise from lower manhattan. me and my friend went to his house, went to the roof of 30 floor building and watched what was goin on while listening to the radio. then outa nowhere we heard the announcer scream and shout something and we saw more smoke and ash start to rise up, i smelled ash everything, couldn't even breathe.
i didn't know what to think but i knew this would change us for a long time to come. |
