so you start out by saying you probably don't care then pretend to care about firefighters in New York when you live in Utah. I actually know some of the guys that ran in there i dont even know why I'm angry I'm just mad you put most of you probably don't care.

Are you fucking kidding me? If 99% of NS doesn't care then I'm leaving this site

#1: I never said I didn't care. It actually means a hell of a lot to me, more than you understand.

#2: The average NS member was pre-3rd grade when these events happened. They have little to no memory of it, and because it didn't affect them personally, are somewhat unemotional about it.

I personally know a few of them that ran into the building you will never meet them. Don't go on this crusade pretending you're on a moral high horse overlooking us.

ARE you FUCKing KIDDING me? i may have been pre third grade when this happened. second grade, to be exact. But I remember exactly where I was, exactly what I was doing, and exactly HOW it made me feel.

Yes, I was a little bit confused at why the principle told us over the PA to turn our TVs onto the news and why I saw towers crumbling, exploding and people falling. But when it became more clear, I knew that it was in New York and people were dying. I was sad. It was a very solemn day after that and every year after we had a ceremony to salute all of those lost in the event.

So, fuck you.

Yeah I got that but apparently I was wrong from all my downvotes apparently nobody does give a shit about the firefighters.

I was in 7th grade not that old but remember it very well. Looking back what I think about the most is the racist hate it brought out against people that had nothing to do with it. The fear , and the freedoms we gave up.

I remember a teacher walking into my art class and telling us that the second tower had been hit and the terrorists had declared war on America. At the time it scared the shit out of me because I thought tanks and shit would be rolling because that's what happens in a war. Instead none of that, not even a little.


It's a bitter date thinking about the people that died that day, but also what we turned into as a country and everything that has spawned from it.


I'm hoping at some point we can stop doing the "it's 9/11 again where were you". If we're going to dwell on it for ever it would be sick if we could work back toward regaining the freedoms that we lost after that day, that the terrorists allegedly hated us for and motivated the attack.

On an unrelated note firefighting whether professional or volunteer is a badass profession. Props to them and RIP to the ones that died that and any other day.

I was 10 years old when it happened. I remember hearing the news, but what really disgusted me was watching how pathetic Americans behaved for the next decade.

I remember it like it was yesterday. One of the worst days of my life. I will never forget it.
I remember exactly where I was when I found out. It was my freshman year of college. I was sleeping in my dorm room, my dad called me, and told me that a plane just flew into the world trade center. Turned on the T.V and saw hell on earth.
Respect.

The 99% part was a reallly bad way to start this post but looking past that part, good call on this thread. here's a really interesting video from ground zero that day

same here. it was a tuesday. weather was beautiful. sophmore year of college. crashed out on my parents couch the night prior cause their house was closer to the bar i got wasted at than my place was. My mom woke me up soon after the first plane hit. Went outside and was sitting on the front steps of the house smoking a cigarette and she came out and said a second plane flew in to the second tower. That's when I knew. Didn't really do anything in any of my classes that day except watch tv in sheer disbelief. Craziest day of my life.

I think this is becoming the "where were you when..." thread.

I was a 13 year old. Only care in the world the night prior was my 14th birthday a month later. School had just started back up, and I was actually kinda excited for it other than the waking up so early.

But I was woken up way way more earlier than usual, and far more frantically. Mom, rushed in, freaking out like the house was on fire. I ran out to the TV and watched the whole thing go down while absolutely shocked. I could only imagine the newsrooms in the studios - probably looked like they do in the movies with people running everywhichway at once.

Got to class maybe 20 mins after the 2nd tower fell... Everyone was crying, nobody knew what to do, nobody knew whether we should even be congregated in the same place together, as if the sky was falling and we were all going down. The teachers couldn't focus, and the kids sure couldn't. We had all seen that happen.

San Francisco was on lockdown - they shut down all public transit and the bridges were closed. You couldn't get in or out of the city. America's 10 years of ridiculous peace had finally been broken, and the only planes in the sky were from the military.

Absolute madness.
