Libertine Posted 8 September 2009 Posted 8 September 2009 Don't forget the others too. A lot of people seem to only remember the WTC tragedies. Must have been crazy. It's not just the things that happened, there were constant reports of other planes being hijacked, bombs etc even over in the UK.
lou Posted 8 September 2009 Posted 8 September 2009 i think it's pretty safe to say Al Quaeda are reponsible!?! Well youd have thought so but a lot of people have other ideas.... my point was we should be remembering the people who died nothing else.
jonthefox Posted 8 September 2009 Posted 8 September 2009 Although i`ve seen the footage several times, the shots of people falling from the windows still gives me a shiver to this day. I don`t think any of us can conprehend making such a decision. R I P.
Father Ted Posted 8 September 2009 Posted 8 September 2009 It happened 10 days after my youngest brother was born so my grandma had picked me up from school and still to this day I remember when she told me what had happened.
Bryn Posted 8 September 2009 Posted 8 September 2009 Remember the day vividly. Was the day before I started secondary school. Me and my best mate and our mums had walked up to the school so that they knew we would know the way and so we could pick up our ties. We walked back down the avenue near his house and got pizza then went back to his and played on our game boys. We had the news on in the background but we didn't really understand it, I'm ashamed to say we found the sense of event exciting until the scale of what had happened really hit home.
StanSP Posted 8 September 2009 Posted 8 September 2009 Also remember the day vividly. Got dropped off at school. Walking down the hill with couple of mates and as soon as we got into our classroom our teacher put the news on. Hadn't sunk in immediately. I was only 10 at the time, and I didn't even know what/where the WTC was. But as soon as I got home and watched the news with mum it kinda started to hit. Seeing the pictures/videos of planes crashing into the towers was unreal.
dogadug Posted 8 September 2009 Posted 8 September 2009 RIP I remember it well. I was 7 years old, and when I came home from school, it was on the TV. I didn't really know what the Twin Towers were, but I still remember feeling very sad That documentary last night was hard to watch.
Libertine Posted 8 September 2009 Posted 8 September 2009 Might have to watch this online. Really wanted to watch it but was at work. Only caught the end of the phonecall one too. Find them hard to watch but I have to really.
MC Prussian Posted 8 September 2009 Posted 8 September 2009 I shall refrain from debating the conspiracy aspect of the whole event, and will therefore join in with the mourning over the loss of thousands of innocent people. There's been a couple of really interesting TV docs on in the past few days. I hope one day the true masterminds behind this attack will have to face retribution.
MikeyT Posted 8 September 2009 Posted 8 September 2009 I was 21 when this happened. I remember being at a friends house that morning as i was in a band at the time and we'd been practicing. I'd got home and when i walked in the phone was ringing and my mate who i'd just been with told me that terrorists had attacked America, and at first i thought he was joking but then turned the TV on to see what was happening. Truely horrific and terrifying. Stuck glued to the tv for the rest of the day to see what was happening. My best friend was in America on holiday when it happened and wasn't able to get a flight home till a week after.
Joe. Posted 8 September 2009 Posted 8 September 2009 Anybody who didn't watch that documentary on C4 last night, go watch it soon. Really gave a vivid account of pretty much everything that happened on the day, hard-hitting to say the least.
MikeyT Posted 8 September 2009 Posted 8 September 2009 Anybody who didn't watch that documentary on C4 last night, go watch it soon. Really gave a vivid account of pretty much everything that happened on the day, hard-hitting to say the least. Just watched it on 4od. There's another one floating about that Robert De Niro inroduces and thats just as, if not more horrifying.
Heart-Shaped Fox Posted 8 September 2009 Posted 8 September 2009 Seems ages ago to me now. I was in year 5 and remember seeing it on the TV when I got home. Didnt really understand what was happening then. Remember watching a programme about it two years ago about reconstrrructions of people trying to get out. Very upsetting and makes you think about how bad the world is.
Phube Posted 8 September 2009 Posted 8 September 2009 The documentary on last night with all the real-time footage was really good and kinda showed it how it was from the perspective of New Yorkers... Some bits were scarily reminiscent of Cloverfield!
DB11 Posted 8 September 2009 Posted 8 September 2009 I was in year 4 at the time. Came home from school and I asked my dad why he was watching James Bond on the telly
stez Posted 8 September 2009 Posted 8 September 2009 Nah mate, it was Al Qaeda. mistakes can happen. i hope i'm never in the position where i have to make the decision to jump, like some of those poor sods had to. i like to keep in mind all the innocent victims, of the big people's little wars, as often as i can. maybe why i'm so miserable.
lildave3 Posted 8 September 2009 Posted 8 September 2009 I was at school, was only like my second week of secondary school. Didn't even know anything had happened until I got home, then I walked in and my mum was in the middle of getting a haircut and Sky News was on. From then on, I just seem to remember asking my mum if I could turn it off and go on the Playstation. I basically had no idea what was going on, like a few others have said I hadn't even heard of the World Trade Center. Every year I always watch the documentaries though, I find them fascinating. I think it's because I didn't really get it at the time.

More so than the others for some reason.

I watched for a little bit but soon after went upstairs to the computer. So annoyed I didn't pay more attention (at the time) to one of the defining events of my life.
Hugo Sanchez Posted 8 September 2009 Posted 8 September 2009 Remember it well, just came back from school and was watching nickelodeon and at the bottom of the screen it said PLEASE TURN TO A NEWS CHANNEL. I didn't know what the World Trade Centre was, was probally the most unbeleiveble thing i had ever seen watching Planes going into buildings and then crumbling to the floor. Never forget it.
DB11 Posted 8 September 2009 Posted 8 September 2009 Imagine sitting in an office, looking out of the window, and seeing a plane coming towards you
StanSP Posted 8 September 2009 Posted 8 September 2009 Imagine sitting in an office, looking out of the window, and seeing a plane coming towards you It's unimaginable I think. Like you could never be able to imagine the feelings those people were going through. Seconds away from dying in that context.
Fox92 Posted 8 September 2009 Posted 8 September 2009 I don't usually swear but those people that can blow up innocent lives, whether it be what happened that day or not, are fcuking batsards. 9/11 was horrific in many different ways. RIP to everyone who died that day and to those emergency services that tried to save the lives that were lost. On a different note, with 999 actually being tomorow, I was expecting something to happen at an English Internation airport and with the Police finding more evidence and terrirists that they were going to walk into Heathrow Airport, get on a plane and then blow 7 off them up whilst they are in the air is sickening and it really does put me off, ecspecially when I want to work at Heathrow. Again, RIP to everyone who died on that tragic 11th September 2001. I'll be having a minutes or two silence at home. I really wish that we could find more terrorists that plan to do this, put them in a field and then people who lost friends and family at major inncidents like September 11th (New York) and July 7th (London) chuck knives and things at them and then they should be tortued and then hung untill they are dead. I know that is cruel but that's how we all feel. RIP. _________ Just read that their making an advert (and there is a website) where you should have a kit incase anything likes this happens. http://www.utalkmarketing.com/pages/Articl...wareness_advert Adverts at the bottom of the page.
Asha Posted 8 September 2009 Posted 8 September 2009 Just watched the documentary, and as usual it moved me a lot and made me a bit emotional. As others have said, we can't even begin to imagine the thoughts and feelings those in and around the trade centre that day would have had. We can't even begin to imagine what it would have been like high up in those buildings, having to decide whether to attempt to escape, but probably suffer a slow painful death through burning, or to jump and make it quick. We can't even begin to imagine what it would have been like observing those events for real, watching people jumping to their deaths, watching the towers collapse and realising the scale of the events and the number of people who had perished. Rest In Peace, to all those who died in the events of 9/11. And thoughts are always with those who were affected in any way. Such a horrific event that will no doubt be remembered for a very, very long time.
dandannieldanok Posted 8 September 2009 Posted 8 September 2009 Unlike everyone else I have no recollection of the day and what I was doing whatsoever.
