I can't believe it's already been 2 years. I was on my way to work listening to the radio. That's when they announced what happened. I drove the rest of the way to work, tearing up. May God bless everyone who lost a loved one.
i had dropped my kids off at grandma's house. the TV was on and the first plane had hit the tower. i drove to work thinking it was some freak accident until i found everyone upstairs huddled listening to the news (the second plane hit as i drove to work). we watched on a fuzzy TV as both towers fell one after the other.
then and now, it seems unreal. it's hard to believe someone would want to kill innoscent people.
God Bless those affected by it.

I was on my way to work, listeing to a CD, so i didnt know anything about it, until l got to work. The first plane had just hit, and everyone, including myself thought it was an accident. When the second plane hit, we knew all to well that it was no accident.
I must be honest, and say i never thought the towers would fall. When they did, my heart sank.

Yeah well I had to go through a whole day of school not knowing really what was going on for about half the day. The teachers wouldn't tell us and it seemed more like rumors from people who saw it before they went to school.
Then when I got home I was like, "holy poop"
What's weird is I wasn't real emotional or anything when everything went down but now i'm to the point where I can't see images of it anymore.

I was getting the mail ready when we heard over the radio of the first plane hitting. Then we turned the TV on and saw the rest. What was also screwed up was that being a government employee we still had to go out and deliver mail.
I woke up at about 2pm that day(I'm lazy).My house was empty I walked past the living room and glanced at the TV and saw the reckage of the Summerset crash(about an hour from me).I didn't think much of it I just thought a plain had crashed.Went upstairs to take care of the morning duties and came back down and started watching still not knowing anything that had happened.Then I saw it.The video of the second plane crashing into the building!!! I couldn't beleive it.I just sat their watching not knowing what to think.

I was working from home when the phone rang.
My wife told me to turn the TV on and watch CNN (sattelite system)
I saw the first plane strike the tower, when I saw the second plane strike I thought "my God, the world's gone mad"
As a former U.S. resident, the U.S. is like home to me, in my opinion the greatest country on the planet.
They may have collapsed the towers, but the murdering madmen did not break America's Spirit.
I started a similar Thread here today. This Thread reflects my true feelings on the matter.
I've said it much more than once and I'll say it again, God Bless America.

Click here. It's a real tear jerker and a 7mb file but well worth it.

Oh, and for the record, I didn't realize that it was Sept 11th until this afternoon when I picked up my daughter from school.

El Pirata,
Though I've seen that video before, it is a good video. I've actually got many many videos, images, mp3's and I think even pdf files on a total of 3 CD's.

My brother was there. He worked at Spear Leeds & Kellogg ... 200 yds diagonally east from the south tower. He saw it all from his office. He was supposed to be in the North tower to renew id credentials for work but decided to have a cigarette first ... he saw it all. I saw it from the roof of our house (after the first plane hit, saw the second). My next door neighbor saw it from where he worked, Canter Fitzgerald. He never made it out, but his remains were identifies (Edward Martinez, he is missed). A friend of mine was in the south tower, Arnold Lim, he never made it out .. no remains identified, only his ID card.
I'm glad my younger brother made it out, but I still feel bad for those I know, and don't know, who are never going to see their loved ones alive again.
My heart still aches when I see the towers coming down on that infamous morning. And my heart still rages knowing that the ones responsible still share the air we breathe. Their day will come.

The last FDNY brother was buried this past monday family had no remains identified as of yet and they choose to keep it that way they buried a vial of his blood that he had taken when he wanted to become a bone marrow donor. The family had decided that if he is ID'ed they would rather not know. They will now try to move on to another chapter..not to forget but just try to get on w/life as much as they can.
