Gonna jump on the “I tend to not care and find it kind of despicable that today is such has become such a whored out ‘sensationalized media’ thing” bandwagon.
Unfortunately, voicing this opinion in most places makes you a terrorist that hates our troops, or something.
Ex-girlfriend called me to turn on the tv. By then the first tower had fallen and all I saw was smoke engulfing most of Manhattan. I thought a nuke had gone off.
Was in high school, and heard from my peers between classes that the Chinese bombed New York. I think I was in health class when I got to watch the recap of what had happen.
last year of high school. Heard about the news at school. Went to my friends house and arrived just as the 2nd tower went down. I asked if it was a replay, and she said no, and I felt a tremendous sadness then. Ironically, she got proposed to today.
I went to a predominantly asian school, and heard a lot of stories saying it was the chinese.
oh, and NBC skipped the moment of silence. Kept us well informed of the Kardashians…
Was in a college fair at HS as the news broke i ran into the computer lad and from there everything unraveled. Sad day and i wont never forget it.
:wtf:
Hell yeah, TTT2 came out today, ill never forget
I was in 5th grade when it happened. It was right before my school started and I was eating breakfast while watching it unfold on TV.
Allow me to say it for both of us: we are old.
I was in 5th grade. They didn’t tell us anything. “Something happened.” At the end of the day, as we got on our buses, we were told “go ask your parents what happened.” I was really fucking scared.

the REAL “never forget”
Fucking right it was :rock:
Mentioned that i am only 16 plenty of times.
If your talkin bout how i remember so much, when i get scared, the exact details of the situation never leave me. I even remember what food my mother made at the exact time on that day.
If you are contemplating on how old you are… yea you are old. Here I am just starting school and half yah niggas was finishin or done already:rofl:
“We are the World.” Blessings to those that were victims or part of it.
I was a freshman in high school when it happened, and it was hard to conceptualize the magnitude what was going on the whole day. It’s strange thinking that this was 11 years ago; and yes, things have definitely gone downhill…
Always Remember.
My sister called me telling me a plane crashed into the World Trade Center. At first, I thought it was a small prop plane or something like that that hit the WTC by accident. Then, when more information came in about a commercial passenger jet airplane having just hit a WTC tower, I immediately thought, “someone remote-controlled a commercial jet into it on purpose?”.
I was playing marvel vs capcom 2 new age of heroes:confused:
people need to get over 9/11.
never forget? i think its better to forget and just move on. think about every other country that experienced war, terrorist activities, etc. most of them tend to move on. if every country glorified the day they were victimized, the world would be a much grimmer place.
if it were to be remembered, it shouldn’t be the most talked about subject of the day. yes we got owned that day, but we already got our revenge and more. no need to beat on a dead horse.
Flying our flag at half mast is mad retarded, son. It’s a show of submission.
I can see the point of mourning in the wake of tragedy, but it’s PLAYED OUT.
Now, I’m no chest-pounding patriot, I just respect and admire the vision of U.S.A.'s forefathers.
If their flag was pink with purple polka dots, I would still respect that vision and our constitution
because it has ‘Bad Mutha Fucka’ written all over it, back and front.
But this fear mongering bullshit, we need to learn to live without. Fear is the antithesis to Love. There is no love in fear.
It’s just mind control. Don’t worry about it.
I felt nothing, to be honest. I felt for the families and those killed, but by that point in time I had already accepted America would have one day been hit on their home turf. I didn’t think it would happen so soon though. We lost Australians in those attacks as well, so it’s not entirely ignorant. We tend to blow up a media storm when a single person dies, let alone 3000.
I was 17 at the time though, and I’m not American. School played out as normal. Most people I talked to about it thought you all deserved it, but I come from a redneck town, so take that with a grain of salt.
It was of course, the only thing on every television channel, but after a couple of days the morning cartoons resumed and went back to watching DBZ Perfect Cell Saga.
