DawgTalkers.net Forums DawgTalk Tailgate Forum September 11, 2001: Where were you?

looks like you guys have moved on from the original question...but i'll say it anyways..

I was sitting in my AP gov class and my teacher walked in with tears in her eyes....we turned on the TV and were confused as to whta hell we were looking at....before our teacher could speak we saw the 2nd plane hit....it was so messed up....everyone in the classroom was shocked needless to say..whta terrible day....

Whats really whack is i flew back the week before from europe to the same airport the planes were hijacked from(it was one of my holds)...i came back on the 6th...

I was smoking a bong when the phone rang and my mother told me I prolly wouldn't have to go to work or class; I asked why and she told me to turn on the TV, I ask her what channel and she said any of them.

I tuned in after the fact.

i remember seeing a special on 9/11 on the national geographic channel, they timelined basically the year or two before the attacks, up through the day that they went through with them, it was an interesting watch

what really got me was the people that sold these maniacs the plane tickets

i mean, i know it wasn't their fault, but that if that were me, it would bother me the rest of my life.

I was in school and i remember a bunch of rumors going around. Some kids were getting pulled from classes. There was a feeling of we were getting attacked ( as in bombs and tanks stuff like that) they refused to tell us, i remember everyone kept asking and there were tons of rumors, but all they said was we were ok. day continued on and i will always remember what i heard the end of that school day. As i was getting on the bus one of the teachers who was standing there said something like this is crazy and the bus drivers response was " i know its like world war 3".... I still had no idea what was going on and when i found out when i got home i could not keep my eyes off the tv. I watched a 9/11 special today after it was done i had an unreal feeling in me, felt like it was that day all over again...

I've seen that too a few times. Just imagine what that one ticket counter guy must feel like. He thought Mohammed Atta (the pilot of on of the planes) was suspicious but didn't want to bother b/c he thought he was a businessman by the clothes he wore When he heard of what happened in NYC his first thought was of Atta. just imagine the guilt he must have felt
