I don't understand why they were pinning everything, on Muslims, even in Australia just going to school, and nothing else...they coped a lot for that...only cause of a few photo's of grown middle eastern men,

Do you realize people only reply to you for entertainment purposes? Nobody takes half the things you say(and that's being generous) seriously. @Anonymouslyyours86

We had Computer TV at work I watched it in my office then I could not believe what happened... Went home my wife was with one of her artist friends I remember they just kept repeating the plain crashing into the towers and the towers crashing down people running faces covered with soot...
It kinda brought people in the country together for a short time people flying American Flags from there cars and trucks.. Now the country is more divided then ever...

Yes. I was in VA on a business trip. They wouldn't allow us to use any electronics because they were afraid we would detonate something. I ended up having to stay over 4 extra days and even then I didn't fly. My work partner and I got a rental car and drove home. The next trip I took via plane after that I had to pop the hard drive out of my laptop and FedEx it to get it home because they changed the threat level and the airline wouldn't let me fly back with it.

Yes. I was at work and someone who wasn't coming into work that day called me up and told me what had happened. All of us at work were stunned and very quiet and spent the rest of the day listening to coverage of the event while trying to work.

It was kind of fascinating watching it unfold on the television actually.
Although it was happening before my eyes it had an unreal quality at the same time.
I've never experienced a similar feeling before or since. You knew this was a point at which the world was about to change.

I'm too young to spot the difference, would you say it was a dramatic change? @Quizzical
Quizzical · 46-50, M
@GlitterBug It was the springboard for a deeper level of fear, mistrust, and media manipulation.
We'd just about recovered from the cold war effects and things were looking optimistic, and then this plunged us right back in again.

@Quizzical One of my clients had been a cordboard operator in downtown SF during WWII and told me she hadn’t felt such fear since Pearl Harbor.

Yeah I was 8 years old at the time. I think after that event, my fear of flight started.

@SW-User fight or flight.. understandable
Allelse · 36-40, M
@SW-User I dont like flying and that certainly didn't help, I mean not only am I high up in the air, but some nutcase might take over the plane and fly into the ground.
TallMtnMedic · M
Yes, I remember exactly where I was and everything about that day. So surreal.
Zaphod42 · 51-55, M
Yep, was a weird day. My GF woke me up when the first plane hit saying "We're under attack!" I rolled over and fell back asleep thinking, yeah, with how many countries we're fighting in when are we not under attack.
A little bit later she woke me again saying "The second world trade center tower was just hit!" Again I started to go back to sleep thinking yeah yeah, that's nice. Wait....what?!?
I got out of bed and watched on live TV as first the one and the the other towers collapsed. So surreal.

only seeing the plane hitting the t.v but I didn't really understand what was going on. I was only 5 and didn't know how to read

It was pretty freaky. There were rumors about bomb threats on any mass transit systems and we were super vigilant taking the train home.
And then the 2 weeks without air traffic.
Not a fun time.

Yeah. I watched it in initial utter disbelief from University on my laptop. Going home after class was exciting and in some ways unnerving...
I'll never forget about the poetry I'd written four days earlier, either.

Oh incase you forgot
Thats what ultra tolerance and political correctness gets you - not to mention how the airlines let this happen. They really are the true problems.

@MarmeeMarch she didn;t forgot she wasn't old enough to remember. I was five when it happened I saw it on t.v bc I went to private kindergarten, and only remember bc of me seeing on the t.v but I didn't understand what was going on at the time. Like it hitting the building is the only thing I remember from that day.
GlitterBug · 22-25, F
I was two I think, my mom still remembers. My father was in the Pentagon when it happened. She says I was watching Barney. @MarmeeMarch
Anonymouslyyours86 · 36-40, F
its like a nightmare that became real, I was at in Merriwa, in my friends house watching on news from her plasma tv
Anonymouslyyours86 · 36-40, F
@Anonymouslyyours86 they knew about it, because they were warned and still ignored it, I remember my eldest sister mentioning years before it happened about some plane crashes falling from the sky??
Anonymouslyyours86 · 36-40, F
why do you think from get go my mum / and many decided to say lies about me, and lies about my mentality,and all these incidents, started to happen... even before/and more after my dad Einollah's mother after her death visited me, and my mother evidenced that...
Yes I do. It was just like any other tragedy except this one ended up having the biggest effect on my life thanks to security theatre at the airports

I was a senior in HS in a trade school. Had no idea until i came back from wiring a home with electric. I remember it like it was earlier today

Were you worried for someone specific? @curiosi
curiosi · 61-69, F
@GlitterBug No, fortunately I didn't know anyone. It was just so sad. I remember my patient screaming so I ran down the hall to check on him and he was pointing at the TV, I watched the second tower go down. Then my patient said "We're going to war".

SW-User
no I was 3 😐

@Anonymouslyyours86 I feel attacked even though it's not towards me @GlitterBug
GlitterBug · 22-25, F
Because it was a big event that had a big impact on many people's lives. There were a lot of deaths. Many people here remember it. I'm asking about their experience. Mostly aimed at Americans. It's not an uncommon topic. @Anonymouslyyours86

bijouxbroussard · F
I definitely remember. I was home from work but still woke up early and was watching the news live when the second plane hit. My cousin worked for Cantor Fitzgerald and it was purely chance that he was home, too. A co-worker had begged him to trade vacation days with him.
Allelse · 36-40, M
Woke up, Mum said someone bombed America, went back to bed, got woken up again by my Mum who was like "Come on, its time for school". Now, I thought I had dreamt that the Americans got bombed, but nope, I turned on the TV and there was the replay of a plain flying into one of the builders. I staggered out half asleep into the lounge room to ask Mum what the fuck, and she said that some crazies had hijacked some planes. One hit the pentagon, twin towers copped them and one had been smashed into the ground or something. Then I went to school and in each class we watched the news. 1

Yes clearly. I felt depressed and suck inside for weeks, as did many others. It was a terrible day and always makes me angry and sad.
