I was entering our livingroom and I saw my brother sitting on the sofa switching between the news channels CNN and BBC News on the TV. The first thing I saw on the screen was all the black smoke rising from the twin towers. I asked my brother: What's happening? Is there are fire or something?? Then we saw the second plane crash into the second tower. That was shocking to see, and my heart began to beat faster. I was afraid that this was the beginning of World War 3. I thought: We're all ed now!!
And just as we had seen the second plane crash... two F-16's flew in a low altitude right over our house. Then I really got afraid. "Maybe the Russians have attacked the USA.." was my first thought at that moment.
I spend the rest of the day watching the news.
A day that I'll never forget. A shocking experience :( |

I was in work at the time and heared what had happened on the radio so I went to the tv and saw the sights that I will never forget. On the way home I could see other people had heared the news by the expressions on thier face. However when I was walking past a certian school a large group of pakis were cheering and punching the air. This was greeted by tooting of car horns from other passing pakis. As I was on my own there was little I could do as I was out numbered. In the following days posters saying that the holy war had begun started to appear and leaflets were handed out supporting bin laden were giving out calling on all supporters of him to asemble down Slough high the following saturday. As word spread people who wanted to express thier views and thoughts to the Bin laden scum orginised our own march in which over 200 people took part and sucsefully manged to stop thier march untill they were backed up with riot police hoses and riot vans. That certian school refused to have the national 3 minute scilence to reflect it's multicutral policey.
Only last sunday these scum were allowen to hold an even bigger march in our capital city at tragfalger square on nelsons coloum. I went to oppose that one and the lead speaker siad that britian would be attacked , all muslims have somthing in common with the taliban among many other things that I car'nt be bothered to type right now. |

| Thank God that no one of us was there at that moment...and the pictures are always in our minds...but talking about the tragedy is the best thing you can do to yourself...it always helps...even if you think you cant. You cant run away from the pictures and sounds...evry yer..on the same day theyll come back-and theyll hurt you more with evry year that passes... |

i remember i was watching the late news around 11pm when the news reader stopped talking and then she said.... some ground breaking news and it cut to the footage of the first tower...
the news reader had no idea what had happened and when everyone realised what did happen.... the news reader was nearly in tears...
i remember calling up my bf at the time and telling him to turn the tv on.....
now that its nearly a yr i still don't think that it has actually sunk in that it happened, maybe because NY is so far away....
the image that really gets me is to see the people opt to jump out of the windows.... thats when i think wat other choice did they have.... :( |

NY may be far away...but it isnt...its on earth...its just a few 1000 miles away...and terrorism is even nearer... |

I remember hearing someone talking about it @ skool but at the time i didnt think much of it. I went home and about 10mins later the second tower fell. I knew someone who worked in the north tower (one of my dads old mates) and i rang him @ work. Cuz he worked in a bank he didnt know about it, we tryed for hours and hours that night to ring ny to find out if my dads mate was ok. We got through after about 6hr's
I still cant belive it happened :eyes: :nervous: |

i remember that i woke up and my mom had left a message on my phone, in a somber voice saying "if you dont know already, turn on the tv... a plane crashed into the WTC"
i didnt really realize the impact of that statement till i turned on the tv.. i thought a plane had accidentally somehow flown into the building.. not that it had been done intentionally.. twice.
and a comment to people who will do america bashing in this thread too
on another board i post on, someone resurrected the WTC thread from a year ago for thoughts and opinions. someone brought up that maybe americans should think about other places in the world instead, something to that nature. someone else responded, and i really liked how she put it, so im going to post it here:
| quote: | | the only thing im going to mourn on sept 11 2002 is the loss of so many innocent lives that were taken away for no reason. it has nothing to do with politics, nothing to do with other countries, or my country anyways...it has to do with millions of people having thier heart broken, while watching the 2 towers fall on global television. of course, its just as sad to see the war going on in the middle east, and children starving in africa. mourning has nothing to do with competition! if your mother died, and you mourned her 1 year anniversary, are you going to be thinking about mourning something else on that day? well i dunno about you, but i sure as hell wouldnt. sept 11 2001 changed our nation, and it is a day to look back on and remember, whether you like it or not. |
