Finished getting dressed then went into work. Watched TV at work and tried in vain to access news sites. After the towers collapsed the Governor's office decided the agency I worked for could somehow be a priority target (very, very unlikely) and sent all non essential workers home. Went over to a friend's house and watched a lot of TV after that.

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.

people kinda suspected it came from the middle east/arab regions because of the 1st world trade center bombing.

I awoke to my mother calling my apartment and informing me that THE NATION WAS UNDER ATTACK, in those exact words. Her phrasing made my first thought about where I could find a gun to help fight off some sort of large-scale invasion (I honestly thought it was Canada). This was actually probably the best way I could have received the news, because when you think you're going to be spending the day shooting at people from a makeshift bunker in your complex's laundry room, well... planes having already run into buildings seems somewhat less scary by comparison. Ended up going down the street to my friend's house and playing The September 11th Drinking Game after we found out we were not expected to come in to work.

I got laid off, by my bosses from Afghanistan. :(

Think I'm kidding?
They denied anything was going on with the company, strung us along, while our paychecks got smaller and smaller, then today..BOOM, all of the inventory was gone, and we received our final paychecks...no severance pay, or anything. Fvckers! :|

I was surprised the backlash against Muslims wasn't worse. After all, lots of arab muslims sure hate us.

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.

And it was WRONG!
