Any 9/11 memories?

[Anonymous]

So Today is September 11th, so the 9/11 happened 22 years ago, does y’all have any memories, did u recall where u were that day and what u doing, how old were u (if u were already born ofc lol), were u there and or know peoples that were there?

I turned on the TV after the first tower got hit. Then I saw the second tower get hit. I thought "HOLY SHIT!"
When I saw both towers collapse I was horrified. Then the third tower collapsed.
After I watched reruns and thought about it, I realized that those were controlled demolitions. Impacts and fires couldn't make towers like that collapse in their own footprints at free fall speed. Those demolitions had been pre-planned.

After years of reading, I'm positive that 911 wasn't a surprise attack by some Islamic terrorists.

I just watched a pod cast and documentary about the boat lift that rescued thousands of people from Manhattan Island on 911. I had never heard that story before. Without government assistance, private boats rescued 500,000 desperate survivors, way more than were rescued at Dunkirk. The biggest boat lift in history was completed within a few hours of the collapse of the towers.
Why that isn't that taught and celebrated as part of our national history?
FEMA prevented people from helping survivors after Hurricane Katrina and the Lahaina fire. Hmmm

I mean for sure it’s was planned the way they attacked the towels proof that they had this already set up and how old were u back then, we’re u in on place in NY?

[Lliam]

I guess I was 47 years old. My wife and I had moved to the Sacramento region a year earlier and were renting an apartment while searching for a house to buy.

Oh Nice ok

[strateguy632]

i commemorated this year but not think about me. now that you ask, wow... long ago... i was still a rabbi then and we were praying to god that people should escape the buildings on fire. i heard, a couple days later that year, 2001, most managed to escape before the buildings fell.

i also saw a conspiracy clip that the direct flight, had an emergency landing, in Cleveland, where everyone got out before it continued empty... to hit the second tower.

I was briefly dating this guy at the time. He had left my apartment, but then called me about a half hour later which I found odd. When I saw his number, I said "Hello" and he only said the words, "Turn on your TV."

[Asker]

Damn ok must been scary for u to watch it live on TV

[ArrowheadSW]

@Ozanne Wow reading this gave me chills. I was on west coast time and found out right after I got up and logged on the internet while drinking morning coffee. It was horrifying.

[petitedollbabee]

I was only born 3 weeks before it happened, so I have no memories of it. I’m not American so it wasn’t even something that was brought up or talked about during my childhood.

[Asker]

Nice, did u know anyone who had experiences it?

[BigRed1987]

Then…why answer haha

[Asker]

I live in UK, I was in the office, we had just moved offices so we were unpacking when news of the first crash came through. Think we saw the second one hit as we had tv on. People were just standing around in shock as it all unfolded.
There were some concerns that the area we were in maybe a potential target should there be any hijack in UK. No one knew when it would stop and how wide the plan went.

[Asker]

Damn ok must have been scary asf to experience this sorry for u.. is it still traumatic for u 22 years later?

[Drumlin2001]

Nope

[Drumlin2001]

We've had numerous terrorist events in London since, some closer than others.

[Asker]

Cool glad then!

I was walking back to the barracks from the retention officer’s office. Camp LeJeune, one of numerous Marine Corps bases. The retention officer had just got done talking to me about re-enlisting. I was 23 at the time. I got back to the barracks the “boots” called me by rank, said, “check this shit out.” W in a couple hours everyone had their gear packed. Many of us were mad, but excited too because there was a possibility we were going to deploy for a war.

[ArrowheadSW]

Wow that is outrageous. Yeah I bet you did have all your combat gear packed immediately. Who knew where it was going to go from there. How long did you stay in the military after this?

[Opinion Owner]

@ArrowheadSW I stayed in almost 10 years. Last deployment ended in 2006.

[JackCarter]

I was 6 year old and I remember watching it on TV

[Asker]

[JackCarter]

[Asker]

[JackCarter]

[Asker]

Happy for u bro!

[JackCarter]

[DryGermanGuy]

I was at the university and experienced it all live on radio/TV as it happened. It was shocking, surreal and soon clearly recognizable as the prelude to darker times.

[Asker]

Damn yup it must have been enough horrible to experiences it live on radio/TV, can’t imagine the people’s who had to go through that in real life..

[MementoMori777]

I saw a post today that they just identified two more people from this incident 2 decades later

[Asker]

Ikr saw this it too on Twitter it’s crazy that they identified them on Sept 11th exactly 22 years later!

[MementoMori777]

That is indeed odd

[Asker]

Ikr dawg!

[exitseven]

[OddBeMe]
