    I was driving to work this morning remembering driving to work 9yrs ago...tears just swelled up in my eyes. Then they played John Lennon's "Imagine" and I just lost it listening to those words...how much sense they make...timeless!

    Sad day. I was in 5th grade and I remember a lot of kids were being picked up by their parents early. I didn't know what was going on. I go home when school was out at the regular time, turn on the TV, and see the burning towers.

    All my prayers are with the families.

    Thoughts are with all the families today. I work at Fedex(at the airport), so I was at work that morning. It was scary when the FAA grounded all flights and to see the sky full of planes circling waiting to land.

    That evening, the usually busy skies were dead-quiet overhead when they grounded every flight. But I could barely see one plane flying in the dark skies. The AWACS (Airborne early Warning And Control System).

    I was sad and scared all at the same time. In Canada there was a still in the air, people were different...shocked. Incoming US bound planes were being diverted 20 minutes away from where I live.

    I know... even out here on the west coast everything was different.
    I remember that day when my brother and I went to pick up our friends to go to school (still about 7 our time) and they said "a plane hit the WTC" ...I don't think we understood how bad it was until we got to school and saw the news. Nobody did anything in class that day... Our generation now knew how it felt to witness something so atrocious and heartbreaking.

    I saw your post in the other thread, I still can't fathom knowing more than 90 people who died like that.
    I'm so sorry...

    like many of you i'll never forget that day nor where i was when i heard the news
    i remember driving to work and hearing the Bear Man and Keith talking about a plane flying into the WTC in NYC (only about 50 miles from us) and if any of you know of that morning show, you will understand when I say that I thought it was a joke, they tell a lot of jokes like that. But a few minutes later while parking at work, they came over the air again saying that a 2nd plane had flown into another tower...and now they were obviousy upset by the sounds of their voices.
    It was jarring, and when I got inside the school where I worked and noticed the black out blinds going down around the library, as the walls were glass, and tvs were inside, and the hush in the halls, it occurred to me that many of these children's parents probably worked in or near the WTC (this was a wealthy district with a lot of wall st and other nyc business types).
    Turns out that was absolutely the case..and it was so sad.
    Not to mention the absolute confusion and fear that pervaded the offices. I remember telling my friends how much I loved them, wondering if this was just the start and we'd all be going through a similar situation before the day was over.
    I was scared to death for those not only at the WTC but those of us in "soft targets" as they later came to be known, such as schools, venues that hold a lot of ppl, etc.
    My heart goes out to the families of those lost on that tragic day, not only at the WTC but in the fields of Pennsylvania and at the Pentagon. Moreso to those whose loved one's remains were never found so that a burial could occur and some ever so small sense of closure be put to such an awful experience.

    My sincerelst wish for the entire world is that something like this could never happen again. I know that's naive, but that's what i wish for .

    And once again I'd like to say that I love you all....and we should make it known to those we love and care about while we still have the time, cuz no one ever knows what the next day, or even the next minute may bring. Make sure that you live each day to the fullest and always treat everyone with respect and love your family and freinds with all you've got to give.

    Thoughts going out to all the families and friends of those who died. I can't even begin to imagine how hard it must have been for those involved.

    I was on holiday in Florida the day it happened and turned on the tv just minutes before the second plane hit, 9 years later it still feels almost too horrendous to fully take in :cry:

    there was something so uncanny about talking with my 8th grade art students about 9/11 yesterday... i was in the 8th grade myself when it happened...

    the kids of today have no idea just how much the world changed that day... its sad that the post 9/11 world is all they know... and its sad to hear how slanted some of their views are of the muslim world from what they overhear on cable news... it is a day for patriotism and remembrance and anyone that uses it as an opportunity to spread islamophobia is a real asshole

    i still tear up just thinking about how terrible people can be to one another

    i am still DAMN proud of how quickly many americans responded when the chips were down

    It's sad that it takes a tragedy of epic proportions to create that type of reaction and invoke that type of patriotism. I was in the Navy stationed in Jacksonville, FL on 9/11 and remember how all the flags were waved proudly by citizens and displayed proudly on their vehicles. I clearly remember one man who stood on an overpass from sunrise to sunset waving an American flag to passing motorists while they honked at him in support. Myself and other people who lived nearby brought him food and drinks because he NEVER relieved his post on the bridge until the sun had set. I have not seen that type of unity amongst strangers since weeks after the attacks.
    He who forgets will be destined to remember.

    I don't think anybody will forget where they were when they heard about it...I am a teacher and I had to tell my kids at school about it because we knew they would find out sooner or later. I live in TN so it is somewhat close proximity. My students were fourth graders and we watched some of the news coverage on tv the rest of the day. I had a few students who were picked up by there parents and some that visibly upset. It is still hard to think of all of the victims who lost their lives that day in the WTC.
