3 Years ago all of our lives and the world we live in was changed forever. Its a day all of us will never forget, forever burned into our memorys. I still rember it like it was yesterday.
I remeber all of the things i saw on TV, i rember my thoughts feelings as i heard the words come over the loud speaker at school. It gives me chills thinking about it It was the first time i ever shed a tear because of something i saw on television.
Today is a day to remeber those we lost that day, remeber your thoughts and feelings, never forget.
God bless those on the flights that crashed into the WTC, Pentegon and the field in Pennylvaina. God bless the brave fire fighters and Policemen that lost there lives trying to do there job, god bless those who just went to work that morning and never came back, god bless the familys of all lost, God bless America.
I think it goes with out being said, if you have an unkind statment don't say it, show respect please.

As cow said, the memory of that day is forever etched into my brain. The thoughts and feelings that I had that day. The time that I heard about it. The disbelief about how something like this could happen. The pacing up and down the halls with a couple of friends discussing the horrible situation. The thought of how the towers weren't gonna come down, but then hearing just minutes later that the first tower had collapapsed. The reports on who the possible terrorists were, and then hearing the name Bin Laden being spread throughout the accusations. I remember taking the one history test right after lunch and the kids protesting the test and hoping we could take it at a later day. I can still remember that night. I remember going to Drivers Training and not paying attention for the most part because I was thinking of the situation. I remember going home and we had the news on and were watching them putting out the fires. I remember trying to get my mind off of the situation and trying to sleep, but then having no luck. I remember playing two songs throughout the time that I lay in bed. Those two songs are still in my memory. They are Shaggy - Angel, and Uncle Kracker - Follow Me. I remember those songs helping, but not putting me to sleep. I remember going downstairs when everybody else was asleep and starting to flip through channels. I remember stopping on Three's Company and watching it for a couple hours until I couldn't stay awake any longer.
GOD BLESS AMERICA

I remember being at work and a customer told me what happened. I laughed because I simply didn't believe it. Then I went home a few hours later and my family was all gathered round the TV and I just thought... fuck.

9/11/2001........
GodBlessAmerica
First Week Of Freshman Year at my highschool. We had a FireDrill during my art 3rd Period
Then soon after in period 4 spanish the announcement that i would never forget came over the PA system. It was the princible informing the school that this has happened
"Good Morning As some of you may already threw cell phones or pagers" (i had no idea) "there was a terror attack on the world trade center at aproxomitly 8:46 and 9:03" (I immediately thought a bomb then i went back to the other terror attack on thecenter that i new almost nothing about) "I would just like to inform you that des world trade pite rumor's school will go on for the rest of day Thank You"
The announcement stoped and people were talking about it in class no one new what happened and unfortunetly i had the kind of teacher that just wanted us to get back to work she didnt even seem to care about the terror attack.
Period ended and the halls were buzzing.
A few more periods past untill I got to english and Global History i have them right in a row so for both periods (80) minutes we talked about it thats when i learned about Bin Laden and all that.
Unfortunetly none of my teachers would let us watch the tv to see what was going on.
As i walked home from school the roads seems silent.
I got home to see my mom standing infront of the tv on the phone with my uncle.
I went upstairs and immeditly turned on CNN to see for the verry first time the towers burning.
My dad got home a few minutes later, he had been aloud to leave work early.
I remember walking out side trying to see if i could see the smoke from my long island house because i had heard that it had been blown east.
I must of watched them fall atleast 100 times that day because of all the new's stations.
I remember hearing how many people lost there lives over and over again
This was also the first time i shead a tear for something i saw on tv.......
RIP Everyone who died on that fate full day...

About a few days before 9/11, I was in Ohio to visit my Grandpa and go down to Florida, he died by cancer before we got there. On 9/11, I remember waking up on the couch and seeing my mom and relatives watching TV, saying "Oh my gosh" a lot... I got up and looked on the TV, and I saw the second plane hit one of the towers Live on TV. It scared the crap out of me, and it was very, very sad... We weren't able to go down to Florida for more than a week, since they shut down the airports for a while.

I remember my dad called me and woke me up. He told me that terrorists had flown planes into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. I asked him who did it, and he said it was Osama Bin Laden. (He knew as soon as he heard because he keeps up on current events) Being sleepy, I didn't think much of it, so I told him I'd watch the news (just wanting to get him off the phone so I could go back to sleep)... I said "Which channel?"... he said "ALL OF THEM!" Then I realized this was something serious and I woke up and turned on the TV. Of course once the TV was on and I was waking up I started to understand the seriousness of what was happening... the possibility that we could still be attacked.
I talked to friends online for a few hours before I had to go to work. One of the guys was a dentist and didn't have a TV to watch so he had to rely on us relaying the news to him. I had the TV turned up so I could hear it in my office and I'd run to look whenever the news changed.
When I got to work, no one was working. I did third tier technical support at that time and the department manager told us not to call anyone, so we pretty much just watched TV. Eventually he told us that we could go home if we wanted to and use a vacation day. (Later on, the company decided not to dock vacation time for not working that day because of a "national disaster")
I got home and I didn't want to be alone in the house, so I went to my dad's house and we all sat glued to the TV. It was the longest day of my life. It was strange for those couple of days to know that I wouldn't be able to find a plane in the sky. That part made it more real to me, instead of something I was seeing on TV.
My sister lives in upstate New York and at the time, she was an EMT. She and several of her co-workers drove down to the city to volunteer their help. She finally got to Ground Zero at about 10pm that night and helped search all night. She was sent home the next morning when it became apparent that there weren't going to be enough survivors to need many people with EMT credentials.
I'm the bawss.

Forgot to mention; I was glued to the TV all day, too. In fact, it was more than one day, I was glued for almost a week.
