9/11 Ten Years After

This Sunday will be the 10th year Aniversity of 9/11 a tragic day of America when the Two Twin Towers were destroyed in New York City.Where was you when it happen?.And what do you plan on doing this year?.

I was at school

I'm probably going to sit here and do some school work.

I was in school as well.

No one was sure what happened, but we all knew it was pretty serious because our principal chained up all exits and said if any who tried to get out would be suspended. We were told that it was believed to be a bomb. I just remember thinking: I hope my family is okay.

When I got home, I found out my sister would have been in that area (not in the building, though possibly just on the first floor) if she wasn't so late); so, she stayed. That's when I also found out what actually happened.

Several weeks later, some kids from a high school which was across the street, or down the block - were moved to different schools, including my own. The teachers tried explaining that some were in counseling because of the horrific things they saw and heard (people jumping to their death).

I remember like it was yesterday... just imagine what it must've been like for those who were there and survived... or the family and friends of the victims. RIP! Scary, sad stuff.

I'm looking forward to seeing the memorial site, and how the new towers are coming along. They aren't nearly as tall (tallest one is 88 floors)

i was at school watching a fucking awesome movie and my mom came and picked me up early cause she was freaked out. i was pissed she made me come home.

I was in school, think it was US history and it came over the intercom. Next class they sent us home early for fear that the next attack coulda been anywhere.

But I'll be watching the Ravens game on sunday

i work on sunday and i wont give 9/11 a second thought really. The world wont stop turning and I still have a life to live.

I think I had just got home from school. I remember watching it on TV but not understanding what was going on. And I doubt I'll do much for it, probably just watch the rugby and F1. Although I might do something as my brother nearly ended up a terror victim. The 7/7 bombings in London a few years back my brother had walked down that street about half an hour previously on his way to work.

I didn't go to school that day, I was at home in my mom's bed half sleep and I remember hearing her watching it, then I started dreaming about it. After I woke up I realized what the hell had happened.

Wow. Um. Okay. This is probably the most personal thing I'll ever post on the forum because I think some of you need to hear it.

I'm keeping the picture of my family member off here for privacy's sake but if we're friends on Facebook or wherever else, I don't mind sharing.

This is a post from my blog.

I don’t bring this up often…if ever at all. I’ve been thinking about it a lot lately amidst the hype surrounding the ten year anniversary of the 9/11 tragedy in New York City, a world away from my eight year old mind at the time of the attacks.

I’m not making this post to tell you my story because I don’t have one. While thousands were losing their lives, I was safe behind the walls of my elementary school many miles down the Hudson. I’m writing this because I want you to know that this man existed. He was real, as real as you and I will ever be. He was my father’s cousin. He worked on the 97th floor of the south tower. I never had the opportunity to meet him. A part of my family perished along with him. But a part of him, no matter how small this part may be, exists in me.

That's terrible. Sorry for your family's loss, Vee.

One thing that has always freaked me out out that day is the realization of how close, yet, so far away (and safe) I was from the WTC buildings (approx 2 miles)

Regardless of what you're all doing today, stay safe!

my condolences Vee

I'm very sorry for your loss Vee. No one will ever forget 9/11 and all the innocent lives that were lost. I feel for the families and can't imagine how they or the survivors feel. 9/11 is still there for us all to take time out of our lives to care about them and to remember them
