Some will never care until their own house is destroyed. And maybe not even then. Stupid idiots!!
I was getting ready for work when the news showed the first tower on fire and they weren't saying what happened with any certainty.....then I saw the second plane hit tower two. No doubt this was an outright attack on our country....
It's pretty stunning how long it takes for your brain to wrap around something as this because you want to believe something else rather than what's clear otherwise.... You know it's an attack but your brain doesn't want to believe it......you know people died instantly when it hit....you wonder how the firefighters are going to get up that high ....questions surface that you can't answer....and most of all you wonder if your loved ones or people you might know are safe even though you know they aren't there.
You notice the time and know your work day is ahead...do you go...call off...go in because that's what you do everyday?
..... Yet there's a clear and precise sense....... everything has just changed.
Thanks, Spirit of Liberty, for telling us about the remembrances. Hope the news will report on them.
There are some people born without souls.
Most of us probably remember it like it was yesterday. I do.
Night owl that I am, I usually go to be between 5 and 6 a.m. but that morning I couldn’t go to sleep right away. I was restless and couldn’t think of any reason to be.
I finally dropped off and Hubby woke me up less than an hour later, saying something about war. The cats had been acting up when I went to bed and in my stupor I thought he was telling me there was a big brawl. I stormed out to the family room yelling and the cats were all just sitting around. That’s when Hubby told me to look at the TV and I saw the buildings encased in smoke.
We watched in horror for a little while and after the plane went down in PA, we got on the move, not knowing if more planes were out there or where they might be. He gassed up the vehicles and I went to stock up on food and other supplies.
I didn’t go to sleep until the wee hours of Thursday morning, I was so wound up. I couldn’t stop thinking about all the lives lost.
I was also furious at the scumbags who pulled off the attacks and am to this day. No forgiveness.
Found it!!
I hope this one doesnt have to be signed in to. I forgot to post it after I set up the post. LOL!
I was looking for it and ran across one I hadn't seen before and it's very good so far. Heartbreaking, but good.
I saw that one listed, but didn’t have time to watch it. I’ll have to be in just the right mood to do so.
It's so odd the details of where we were and doing that day...and it's pretty vivid details as well.
I could see at work people were basically in mild shock it seemed. They popped in and out the lunch room as I never saw before as the TV was constantly on. And everyone was anxious to finish the work day so they could get home and learn more.
In all likelihood most Americans didn't sleep well that entire week. Riveted to our TV'S and waiting to hear how the US was going to react. But there was certainly the knowing 'everything' had certainly changed....in what way we would learn along the way.
You’ll want to add it to your list. It’s added to mine. It’s very good.
Yes, you are another night owl. LOL I see you on various threads throughout the night.
Others were out shopping like I was that day and ‘in mild shock’ is a pretty good description of what I saw - - and felt. And fearful because no one knew if more attacks were planned.
I don’t think anyone slept well for quite a while afterwards, the families who lost loved ones most of all.
9/11 NEVER FORGET!!!!!!
I’m going to do just that! That way I won’t forget.
And now...I HAVE to go get some sleep. My 6am wake-up this morning caught up with me hours ago, and I have fought it as long as I can. See ya sometime tomorrow night. Maybe play a few tunes if it’s quiet here.
Howdy, E.G.C. ((HUGZ))
A day we’ll never forget!
I hope you had some dry time to get out and about with Gizmo yesterday.
I’m shocked you managed to stay awake this late. LOL
Sleep well and have a grand time with the girls tomorrow.
h !!luvie.....#50!!
Just as good. ((HUGS)) Thanks for sharing all the tunes.
