Where were you 5 years ago today?

09-11-2006, 02:03 PM

9/11/01

I was sleeping on the couch and I work up to the news and a video of the second plane hitting the World Trade Center. I was called into work early because I worked at a newspaper at the time as a Photo Retoucher. That was a bad day for America and for me at work. Where were you?

I was outside near my garden talking on the phone with my fiance walking her through the steps of what to do during her traffic accident. Her truck was hit in a parking lot a few minutes earlier and she called me. Was having her take pictures, get the girls info, etc.

heard it in the car just before starting to work at a callcenter a few meters from the NATO headquarters in Brussels. They made us stay allthough everyone was scared as shit and neighbouring companies were being evacuated. Threatening with firing everyone that would not fullfill his/her shift. Sept 12th 2001 I was unemployed. (did not need even had to do my 3 month notice and they paid me for sitting at home for 3 months)

I was getting coffee..... CNN was on in the deli, and with one gasp.....

The whole place went dead fucking silent. I mean quiet. One lady jumped up and hurried out the door. I can only assume she had friends or family in NY. I sat there for 2 minutes watching until I could get myself to leave.

I went home, and watched the news for 24 hours straight.

My experience was much like the OP's. I woke up on my couch to Katie Couric right as they showed the first video of the 2nd plane hitting.

I literally though I woke up in a dream.

I proceeded into the office and got a call from my uncle who lives a mile from Shanksville, PA. He described to me what sounded like the demolition of a coal mine.

All in all it was odd day, and my inbox was flooded with emails from everyone I could have possibly ever known with trumped up Nostradamus qoutes and the MS Word WingDing font trick.

I was at home with my husband (ex-husband now) and my kids when we started getting the calls to turn on the tv. I also worked at a newspaper at that time, and 9-11 was part of the reason I quit. There were also a couple of very gruesome and high-profile murder cases going on locally at the time, and being in the newsroom and seeing all that horror day in and day out got to be too much for me. Between the seemingly endless photos of children thrown across their parents' coffins crying and the graphic details I was constantly exposed to in regard to 9-11 and also the murders, I just couldn't deal. I have worked in porn ever since.

Was driving to work (a dotcom), nice sunny morning, had the top down and was listening to some new trendy single on the radio, and they interrupted it to share that the world trade center had been hit with planes and collapsed.

I thought it was a pretty bad joke and was surprised the morning show would even say that because it wasn't funny at all... Parked and walked up to my office and everyone was really quiet, it took me almost 20 minutes to realize it was for real, mostly because every major news site on the net was down.

I was in college in Queens, waking up early for an activities fair with my fraternity. Since our campus was on a hill, from the top of my dorm you could see the NYC skyline. We heard about the first plane on the news and I ran upstairs to the roof. A group of 20 of us all saw the 2nd plane hit...

Activities fair was called off, classes were cancelled, but people were too paralyzed to even leave campus. We didn't know what to do or think. Our cell phones were dead, people were crying..panicked.

We stayed glued to the TV, watching, waiting for someone to tell us what the fuck was going on. A group of 20 of us sat in front of the TV for hours transfixed and silent.

Then the towers fell...My frat brother was on the emergency response unit in lower Manhattan. I hoped he would be ok. As a native Brooklynite I prayed for all my buddies in the neighborhood who worked downtown - NYPD, FDNY, Port Authority.

The list of the dead was overwhelming. Every day in the papers and on the news we heard the stories..families looking for their relatives, cops and firemen missing, the smell - the heartbreak we all felt.

If you were in NY and grew up in the city too, it was almost too much to take. I'll never forget that day and the feeling that consumed us all.

My father's doorstep in Brooklyn was covered with 2 solid inches of soot and debris. I saw the cars being towed to Staten Island covered in soot and crushed from pieces of the falling towers. There were constant reminders everywhere.

Since then, I think much of the country has forgotten what really occured that day. We were under an administration of dirty politics and policies, no accountability, no sense, no morals and no responsibility. The man who organized these attacks is still out there, roaming free. A big hole sits where those magnificent towers once stood - a testament to politics as usual.

What have we really learned?

We were lied into a war by a totally inept administration that played to people's fear and emotions, not based on reality or prudent political policy. We have lost thousands of soldiers in Iraq based on a lie and thousands more that have been injured - not to mention all the people that are developing respiratory problems from the the debris and soot.

One of the worst errors is all the young Americans dying in Iraq as a result of this President's treasonous policies. That there is no major groundswell for impeachment is tragic.

I always think about the friend I lost on 9/11. We will always remember. I can't believe its been five years since I've seen him. I miss you buddy.

I lived in upstate NY at the time, about 100 miles north of NYC. On that day, I was sleeping and my mom woke me up to tell me that a plane crashed into the WTC. At first it seemed like a horrible accident but then the second plane hit and all these new feelings came over me. Things I never thought I'd feel in my lifetime.

I spent the rest of the day online talking to people in disbelief and watching the endless news on TV about it. It feels like just yesterday...

I remember talking to Furious_Male online, who also lived in NY and fearing what would happen next. Our water supplies, bombs, etc The uncertain, insecure feelings were foreign to me.

I hope by the time another 5 years passes, there will be justice.
