Answer 1

9-11 I was at uni and studying journalism. We got called to go into class to watch events unfold. I ended up being up for 36 hours and completely bombarded with images etc. I remember the bombing where they blew up the bottom few levels.

Waco and Oklahoma were disturbing and this was the first real time I learnt how nasty people were. I was younger then and it hit me more I think.

I think the government does have a lot to answer for on all accords but they never listen to the little people. It was hard being alone wasn't it. I ended up going back to my parents house after the uni thing was over (those 36 hours) and just zonking and trying to forget it.

Answer 2

I remember that day so well, I was on vacation leave, my daughter called me to ask what i was doing, I was doing the dishes, she said turn on the T.V. America is under attack, I turned it on just as the world trade centre went down, it was horrific, I'll never forget that day for as long as I live. When J.F.K. was assassinated I was 18yrs old and was on a bus in Glasgow Scotland at 7.30 at night, I cried the whole way I felt so alone. I'm 55yrs old now, but he memory is as clear as if it happened yesterday..
