"It's just like the movies", I thought.
The impossibility of it all, the extremely hi-tech aspects, and the very lame explanations given by our government, made me suspect EVERYTHING.
Skyscrapers don't collapse from fires like that, or fall at free-fall speeds if unassisted. And novice pilots don't fly jumbo jets w/ that sort of precision, unassisted, hitting a needle in the haystack, from 300 clicks out.
We really do live in a world controlled by some VERY fancy computers and other technology. And, somehow, our government is complicit, in the coverup, if not the genesis. That's what I concluded.
Better late than never. Anyone who hasn't really looked into the details should take opportunity to do so now.

9/11 taught me a big deal. While seeing and thinking about the events, then and now, i come to the conclusion that governments and authorities cannot be trusted at all. The way the Bush junta exploited this tragedy and used it against the American people is a despicable, deplorable act that knows no bounds. This betrayal leads me to believe that everything must be questioned; especially what some assume or self-proclaimed authority wants to tell us. The events show that we have to follow the money trail and those who really benefit from this event. During this process we will discover that only few things are the way they indeed seem to be. We will see that the world is taken for a ride of the worst kind.

I dont think it made me more fearful of a terrorist attacking me personally. I think it made me question how people can do the things they do without censure from others. I am shocked that we have not done more regarding the root cause of 9/11. I am appalled that Republicans used 9/11 as an opportunity to promote war profitering. I am more pessimistic about the future of our nation. I am more pessimistic about my rights and freedoms as a citizen. I have become more politically involved.

It made me sad because innocent people were dragged into a war that has been waged without thier knowing for many years. They were not prepared for the retaliation to our actions in the world. People still are in the dark about why that happened, can't even bring themselves to talk about it. Plus, the government, I knew would do this, seized upon the moment before the fires were even out and people were even safe, to carry out thier next chess move in this war they have been waging and that has brought war back into our everyday lives and that causes stress.
All of this was unnecessary and didn't have to happen. I am very upset about that. It makes me hate the people who perpetuate the idea that when you are angry violence is the answer. It makes me feel like the choice to be non-violent has been taken away from us, and the only resolution at this point is further violence. Who wants that? Bush and Osama alike... and I hate them both.
I will never forget 9-11 or the aftermath.

It reinforced my belief that God is the only super power and that Ecclesiastes 9-12 is VERY true:From the New International Version-"Moreover, no man knows when his hour will come: As fish are caught in a cruel net, or birds are taken in a snare, so men are trapped by evil times that fall unexpectedly upon them"

Initially I was shocked on how people could claim to do this on behalf of a religion followed by billions. Later I realized it was a one off incident which has been ridiculously blown out of proportion. I mean the death tolls were hardly monstrous when you consider that more die in Africa every hour then the attacks on 9/11

It made me realize that life really is fleeting, that you have to do the things you want to do today because you really aren't guaranteed a tomorrow.
We hear older people say this all the time but it finally hit home for me.
I changed jobs and relocated to another state to follow my bliss.

It made me realize that individuals are more the enemy than countries now. And how far one person or a couple are willing to kill thousands for what? Nothing! I guess it made me change my outlook that America needs to deal with world events and settle disturbances. We can't just fight for awhile and than retreat back to the safty of our contenint. We have to fight our enemies and win! I view life as precious now. Making the moment count.

For the first time ever, I felt vulnerable in my own home. I was afraid to go anywhere there would be large crowds that could be an easy target.
I always thought of the US as a super power. After September 11th and Hurricane Katrina, I don't feel that way anymore (sadly).

Confirmed that there are evil people who love death more than life and the masses remember 1/8 of what they hear and none of what they see.
