Every 9/11 around this time I watch the replays of that day...Nothing makes me love, hate and wanna fight at the same time, more than when I watch this. Unreal.
Sorry...didn't care to post this in general and we have down time in this thread.
I think it's important to feel this way again about that day. Can't forget.

probably was the most surreal day of my life. i think we can all remember the exact moment when we found out what was happening. where we were, who we were with, etc. doesn't matter where you lived in the country. can't believe it's been this long, either.

I was still here in the PNW and I had no idea what was going on. Woke up groggy eyed as ever just 10 minutes before my first period in HS. My homie picked me up before school..."You hear about the World Trade Center's?" Me:"Huh?".

i was back in MA in high school. stats class just started. dean comes in and whispers something in the teacher's ear. teacher runs to his desk, packs up, and takes off (his wife happened to be in NYC at the time). dean goes to walk out and we're like, "what's up, man?". he looks at us and is like, "NYC is under attack..." and walks out of the classroom. so we all basically head to the library where there are TVs mounted up on the wall and basically watch coverage for an hour before school was dismissed. was a weird day..just that feeling. will never forget it.

Just crazy.
Was on my way to work. MJ announced day before he was comin back for the Wiz.
6:00 Sports show comes on radio, all MJ talk during the intro, then host comes on, first thing he says is about MJ, then, who cares tho, the World Trade Center is on fire, hit by a plane!!!!!!
I thought, wow, back luck, bad pilot, etc, thinkin it was just a little Cessna, then I jumped over to Stern, what's he sayin.......boom, second plane.
I'm like, what the.......foggy or somethin? Pilots can't see? Stern says clear blue skies, so I'm really confused, then I hear him......what.....? Then he announces, the Pentagon has been hit.
At that point, I almost pulled over. I got it right then, so did Howard, America was under attack. I was straight stunned. Shock.
Stern announced everything from there, Philly, airport closures, towers collapse, NY evac......unbelievable.
Stern is a joking person, he was dead serious that day. And as weird as that might sound, it actually scared me even more. Of all people to be uber serious, you'd never expect it from him.
I remember seeing the people in the middle East cheering, I was so fried.......I wanted those areas to be parking lots by 9/12. But of course, not everyone over there was guilty. It was just so raw to see them cheering our devastation.

I was actually listening to Jim Rome (I was in 8th grade) and ran downstairs and told me parents to put the tv on.

I was in sixth grade, I woke up around 6:30 I think and my brother told me that we were attacked. I watched the morning news and went to school where our teacher spent the day talking to us about any questions we had about what was happening.

8th grade social studies class. We didn't have TVs so we all just stayed in class after we were told. Day wasn't very productive. A kid also had a pellet gun on a bus that day so things were quite tense.

6th grade math class. Everything felt weird because the teachers all left their classes for a while, and seemed shady when they came back. Ton of kids started getting picked up from school, which made absolutely no sense to me. Teacher came back and flipped on the tv and we just sat there watching news coverage.

Damn, a lot of you guys that I thought we're my age or older young as hell .. but yeah I was in 10th grade man, we could look out the window in my English class and see the black clouds of smoke coming from the towers, it was unreal. As soon as they dismissed us from school about an hour later, we stood on my roof and watched it all unfold. You could smell the smoke at this point, I'll never forget that day

You could smell the smoke at this point, I'll never forget that day I lost a handful of family members that day
That was what, sophomore year? Our HS was 9 stories, from the 7th floor and up on the west side of the building you could see the skyline clearly. We watched the buildings collapse.
It was a crazy scene at the school. We were a specialized HS in the city, so people started freaking out that we'd be targeted for some reason which was dumb to me as I look back on it but at the moment (very few cellphones and ****) no one knew what was going on. The radio station we had on (1010 I believe) was one of those that reported multiple planes in the air that the FAA lost communication with.
They didn't want to let us out around 1 - 2pm and a few kids who had family members in the buildings tried swinging at the security guards. Once that happened, they just started letting groups go out. Had to walk home which was only about 6 miles but the trains were not working/running really slow so a lot of folks were hoofing it.
My Mom worked down by Water Street (which is a few blocks away) and would walk from the WTC train station to work. So my sisters and I spent the time at home ******* freaking out. She ended up getting home around 8 or 9pm.
I pass by there everyday now. I usually take the day off and go to the memorial service.

Man I commend you alchys. I can't drink anymore. Body won't let me do it in excess. Last time I killed 1.5 bottles of wine my body went through detox, had me vomitting/dry heaving for an entire day. Was miserable. Just not worth it for me.
