9-11 What do you remember the most?

Question

I remember how weird it was with no planes flying. How quickly we all panicked. How we all came together, and forgot about our differences. Most of all I remember everyday how quickly we forget. God Bless our Military.

Answer 1

amen

Answer 2

I was standing in front of the World Trade Center when the first plane went in & remember all of the people running down Broadway. I also remember all of the paperplates, & photographs floating through the air and littering the East River following the collapse of the towers. Those plates & photos were from closets and desktops of the former World Trade Center offices. I also remember 6 lanes filled with business people running through black clouds of dust as they were running down the FDR (a highway that goes up the East side of Manhattan). I recall all the young men running from the NY Stock Exchange heading for the East River to escape a possible other attack. I remember many things. . .I also remember the stench of the smoke from those Towers which burned until late November! On the brighter side. . .I recall just how orderly the evacuation was and just how incredibly respectful New Yorkers were to each other.

Answer 3

I remember, turning on the t.v. that morning right after the first plane had hit. I went into the kitchen to make coffee, not realizing what i had just seen. When i went back and started watching again i still didn't know what i was watching, and then the second plane hit! I remember thinking this can't be real! I don't think i'll ever forget that day.

Answer 4

I remember hearing on the radio that the World Trade Centers were gone and actually thinking it was a 'War of the Worlds' type spoof.

I remember my father calling to say he was driving home to Colorado from Detroit with a new car. He said he had tears in his eyes because in every small mid-west town he drove through almost every house and building was flying the Stars and Stripes.

I remember my four year old drawing a far too accurate picture of a burning plane impaled in one of two towers, and deciding it was time to turn off the TV.

Bless our military, indeed.

Answer 5

i remember hearing it on the radio on the way to work... almost turned around (am in Aust so we got it late)...

and remembering if we had the radio on in the car on the way home from the movies we would have heard it then (was just after it happened)

i also remember we didn't do much work all day and had the TV on... i remember standing there watching as the towers fell... that is something i will NEVER forget... i didn't actually saw the planes go into the towers until a few days later

still makes me feel sick remembering it...

and it is weird to think that when my bubs is old enough to go to school they will study it in world history!

Answer 6

I was watching the Towers, and though I wasn't the closest
I saw them crumble to the Earth like they was full of explosives
And they thought nobody noticed the news report that they did
About the bombs planted on the George Washington bridge
Four Non-Arabs arrested during the emergency
And then it disappeared from the news permanently
They dubbed a tape of Osama, and they said it was proof
"Jealous of our freedom," I can't believe you bought that excuse
Rockin a ************* flag don't make you a hero
Word to Ground Zero
The Devil crept into Heaven, God overslept on the 7th
The New World Order was born on September 11

Answer 7

All the things you listed but I also remember how angry I felt. I remember thinking about how much good the US has done around the world with out thought of repayment. I also think that it is sad that people are so quick to put down our military when they are quite possibly doing the hardest job in the world.

Answer 8

I remember waking up and turning on tv - seeing the horrifying scenes of the planes crashing into the towers...All week on the public stations it was just continuous CNN (im in australia).


We even ditched classes because the teachers wanted to know what was happening...it was so scary!

Answer 9

I remember driving to Los Angeles from San Francisco as I was stuck there on a business trip thinking, Wow, I am merely inconvenienced but there are some Americans that have had their life changed forever".

Answer 10

I was watching the 3 Stooges as I do each and every morning when I decided to flip the channel over to Matt Lauer and Katie Couric. They had looks on their faces that I had never seen before. Then they went to a shot of the WTC with a smokey gaping hole in it.

Answer 11

I remember going to work and seing the towers crumble. It was horrifying. My family in Europe was watching TV and crying. Such barbarism is abhoring.
I also remember that all terrorists were LEGAL and no illegal is a terrorist.
It seems that Middle Easterners easily get visa and citizenship, while we, Eastern Europeans have to hope for amnesty...
