In the gym..
it was 6AM where I was..
I watched on the bank of TVs..
the early morning show on ABC..
I was close enough to read the closed caption..
I remember the LIVE film of the building flashed on the screen suddenly and I thought right away a bomb..
Then there was mention of a plane and I thought little plane ...Cessna, etc..
and I thought “that’s a big hole for such a small plane..
then I watched LIVE as the other plane flew towards the building and behind it and hit the other building..
I was in shock and had an argument with a liberal who maintained I was wrong to say that Islamic terrorists had hijacked the planes..they wouldn’t do that and I was an awful person to say such a thing..
I hardly remember driving home from the gym..
That was an amazing day for FreeRepublic.
I wasn’t very cyber literate then and so was rather
limited in my abilty to reply to people.
Looking back, the ability of freepers to gather, process
and distribute information was so far ahead of the
main stream news that I knew we had entered a different
age. Will also never forget the time when NO PLANES FLEW,
we are so used to seeing them in the skies that it was
so very disturbing to see nothing but birds flying.
Islam declared war on us that day in no uncertain terms
and it’s about time we got up to speed.
