September 11

I honestly cannot believe it has been 3
years since september 11, 2001. It seems
like it was just yesterday! My heart and
prayers still go out to the victims and
their families and I pray that one day the
terrorists will be brought to justice.
My questions for you are...
Where were you and what were you doing
when you heard the news? How did you
spend that day and the days that
followed?
And...What will you be doing tomorrow to
remember the attacks?
Oh...And if anyone has any personal
stories they want to share...Feel free!

Where were you and what were you doing
when you heard the news? I was in school,
and I remember I was the one telling
people about it.
How did you spend that day and the days
that followed? Just figuring how bush
will handle the attack.
And...What will you be doing tomorrow to
remember the attacks? Tomorrow is my
nephews birthday, so I am going to be
spending it with him.

I'll answer...
In 2001, I was in my first semester of
college at auburn. I think I had 8:00
classes every morning. For some reason,
my class that day had been cancelled so it
was going to be a rare day for me to sleep
in. My dad had gotten into the routine of
calling me every morning, and the night
before I had told him "dont call and wake
me up unless something major is
happening." well he called...I remember
looking at my clock (it was 8:46...I'll
never forget that!) and when I answered he
told me..."i know you wanted to sleep in,
but I thought you might wanna know that
planes have hit the wtc". I turned on the
tv to hear the news that the pentagon had
also been hit. I spent the rest of the
day in my pajamas in bed watching the news
coverage with my roomate and suitemates.
As for remembering the attacks tomorrow,
i'll probably just watch the news
coverage and pray for the families who are
still feeling such a terrible loss! Also,
I will be praying for president bush as he
continues to lead this country to defeat
terrorism.

I was lying in bed watching it all on tv,
I seen the 2nd plane hit. I had the phone
to ear talking to chris who was watching
it too. Then I phoned my mum at work and
told her.
The victims and their families are in my
heart and thoughts. People have to
re-build and move on!
I spent most of the day in shock and in
tears, you couldnt not feel terrible for
the poor people in the planes and
buildings!

I was in band at school (i play clarinet)
when our principle came over the pa system
and tried telling us what happened through
tears. The rest of the day we went to the
auditorium, and they put cnn on this tv
projector thing. The rest of the day (and
the next few weeks) we could either watch
cnn, or talk about it amongst ourselves.
Ever since then on the 11th of every month
we hold a moment of silence for everyone
who lost their lives.
At the time, I was extremely worried about
my dad because he was at a doctors
convention thing in new york city. That
same morning, my dad was in the wtc,
however he went for coffee with some other
doctors when the attacks occurred. Things
must really happen for reasons. My dad
stayed in ny for the next 2 weeks
assisting in hospitals and helping out the
injured.
I am a volunteer firefighter, and tomorrow
we are holding a remembrance ceremony for
our fallen firefighters. Being only 25-30
miles from the city, our firecompany
members had relatives who passed away
along with their firefighter friends.

I was in my hospital bed recovering from
scoliosis surgery when it happened....
For those that don't kno, scoliosis is
when ur spine is crooked and they correct
it with either a back brace or surgery.
All my nurses was crying and I had no idea
why!

Where were you and what were you doing
when you heard the news?
- I was asleep when the first
plane hit and my mom came and woke me up.
Then I watched the scond plane hit. And
when the first tower fell I screamed at my
mom saying that the tower feel and she was
like, no it didnt its just behind the
smoke. And I was like, no it fell and
then they said it on the news. So
yeah...
How did you spend that day and the days
that followed?
- I was very saddened and confused.
I didnt really understand at the time
what it meant but a few days later when
everything really started to set in it was
like, wow.
And...What will you be doing tomorrow to
remember the attacks?
- I dont really know..I will
probably spend my time in the morning
praying for those who lost their loved
ones that day and then watch the numerous
remembrance shows that will be on tv.

For some reason, whenever there was a
national tragedy, I happened to be at home
from school "sick". Well, same goes for
sept. 11th. My mom woke me up after the
first plane hit, then I watched live as
the second plane hit. When the first
plane hit, I asked my mom if the pilot was
drunk, when the second plane hit I just
freaked out. I was one of those people
that watched msnbc 24/7 for the next few
months. The whole incident just
reaffirmed my belief that the antichrist
was in office and we were all doomed.

Where were you and what were you doing
when you heard the news?
I was at college in florida. I was
battling depression, so I had skipped my
morning classes. My roomie turned on the
tv about 10am and we saw it on the news.
I didn't do anything all day long except
stay glued to the tv!
How did you spend that day and the days
that followed?
Walking around in a daze. I couldn't
believe the loss of life. It was more
than I had previously imagined.

I was in school in 4th period art and I
heard it over the p.A.
How did you spend that day and the days
that followed? I just watched the news
in class and moved on with my life.. I
felt bad but it had nothing to do with
me.. It takes a while for me to process
things like that and sometimes I just
never do.

Where were you and what were you doing
when you heard the news? I was in
school, the teachers were not allowed to
tell us anythihng. But me and 2 of my
friends were sent to the office to go get
somthing and al the teachers were ther
huddled and crying, some of them were
getting ready to leave. So we asked our
teacher and he shut the door and told us.
Next this we noticed, joe zisa was the
first one to leave school..
How did you spend that day and the days
that followed? Watching it on the news,
talking to family, and praying for joes
and...What will you be doing tomorrow to
remember the attacks?Probobly watching t.V
looking for remembrance shows.

Where were you and what were you doing
when you heard the news? I had just
started college when the librarian came up
& told some of us. I had never heard
of the twin towers so it didn't seem that
significant at the time&i also didn't
realise the extent of what happened
how did you spend that day and the days
that followed? When I realised the
seriousness of it I cried for the people.I
was in shock as I watched the news-we all
were.Even though we were thousands of
miles away we felt so badly for our
american allies.
And...What will you be doing tomorrow to
remember the attacks? There's a lot on
the news about it so I will be sure to
watch.I will be thinking of those who died
in particular the babies born since whose
fathers died in 9-11.
Oh...And if anyone has any personal
stories they want to share...Feel free!
On march 17th 2002 it was the st patricks
day parade in my home town-it was a very
emotional day.We had several firefighters
from the new york fire department who came
to march with some british firefighters in
the parade.The firefighters were all
american but had irish origins &
they'd been at the towers in the aftermath
of the attacks.Everyone cried when they
saw them & they were saluting at the
crowd.It was so so sad

Well, when the attacks happened, I was in
first period at school.
I am not doing anything to remeber th
attacks. I really don't know why anyone
would want to. My heart goes out to
everyone who was directly affected by the
attacks, but I wish people would stop
doing this every year.
It is my mom's birthday today, and every
year it is made to seem like the most
horrible day in the world. And, it is
kind of not fair. She was born in 1954,
years before sept 11, 2001. Now for the
rest of her life ,her birthday with be a
terrible day, because people will keep
making it that way.
And as I said before my heart goes out to
everyone who was directly affected by the
attacks, but it was 3 years ago. And it
was a sad day three years ago, but today
there were no attacks, so why keep doing
this?
