the muslims here are 'us' fool. :disgust:


I am aware of that, dumbass. During WWII, the Japanese-Americans were sent off to internment camp. And they're considered 'us' too, dipshit.

I was in school all day... watched the news channels during my prep periods..
Got home, "They showing anything new yet?" "Nope" "Okay, I'm going hunting."
It was eerily quiet in the woods... I never noticed the sound of jets passing overhead until that sound was gone. Likewise, the sound of cars miles away on highways was missing as well as apparently, everyone watched the same 30 seconds of footage over and over and over and over again.

I went to class...which was odd. The professors made no mention of the attacks, nothing at all. I know I was in an Economics class @ the time. Just seemed odd to me that he was being completley oblivious (purposely I'm sure).

I was thinking the same thing. I have a friend that is from palastine(i think) and his sisters had to be taken home by police escort because idiots were threatening to kill them.

Noone knew who flew the planes until that evening when bush said it was alqeda.
I knew exactly who was responsible and I'm not even psychic

When I got to Home Depot, I turned on a display TV,{it had a vcr tape for a washing machine If I recall correctly}
and tuned in a local channel; just in time to see the 2nd plane hit.

Later, I saw the first Tower fall, on the same TV at Home Depot. :(


I called my G/F at her work, from a pay phone;
sad day.

Do you remember when President Kennedy died? I do.

When Kennedy died, I was waiting to pay for a hot dog and some chips. I was in the second grade...

Air Force One woke me up when it lifted off (I was living in a dorm room accross the street from the Sarasota Airpor)t. I called my professor and asked him if I could delay our thesis appointment, he said "lets do it next week, a plane hit the world trade center." Tried to get it on nytimes.com, but it wouldn't load. Walked across our hurricane ravaged campus (new college is on sarasota bay) to the student center and watched the news. It was really weird walking around with all these recently planted trees blown over by the hurricane and the news of the day. Pretty much just hung out with friends going 'WTF?'

That's pretty fvcked up (the prof). I'm pretty sure most professors at my college in florida cancelled classes.

I was at Marine Corps Recruit Depot, San Diego, getting shots when I was told about it. Just as they were gonna give me the needle in the ass, the corpsman said "you know, we got attacked by terrorists yesterday". They didnt officially tell us what happened for another week though.
