Just in. I am looking at a picture of the WTC with smoke pouring out of the western tower. Looks like a huge amount of damage. Debris raining down on people in the street.

Hello,

That morning is as clear to me today as it was on 9/11/01. And it always will be.

I told my co-worker next to me about what happened, and another co-worker said not to listen to anything I say.

Geez. Are you and that other ****wad still working in the same room?

A month from tomorrow, it'll be five years. Hard to believe. Seems like yesterday.

[Fiddlstix]

NEVER FORGET!
BTTT!

It is hard to believe. In a way it's seems like a million years ago and then again in other ways it seems like yesterday. What a day that was. Etched in my memory forever.

I was watching Jon Scott, Fox News, and they were being so careful to not mention terrorism when the first plan hit. Then the second plan hit and he blurted out this is terrorism folks. The next words were Osama Bin Laden.

America has never been united by blood or birth or soil. We are bound by ideals that move us beyond our backgrounds, lift us above our interests and teach us what it means to be citizens.

America will never run... And we will always be grateful that liberty has found such brave defenders.

by President George W. Bush

I will never forget. My daughter woke me out of a sound sleep with a phone call. She was sobbing and trying to tell me that they were all OK. The adrenaline started to pump and it has been like that ever since.

Keep this on top.

But I thought Sadaam had nothing to do with it. /src

Good get - Never forget!

Geez. Are you and that other ****wad still working in the same room?

Nope. I moved on to another company a year later. But I did have the rest of them checking out FR for the rest of the day following the events. Don't know how many registered because of it.

[Fiddlstix]

Yes. Keep Bumping This.
BTTT

Hit your ping lists folks.
Let's keep bumping this.
Thanks

I will never forget and will carry this ache in my heart forever. God bless GWB and our brave military.

But I did have the rest of them checking out FR for the rest of the day following the events.

Being on the west coast, this all happened before 6am - but I was almost done with my 30 mile commute when the radio cut in...got to the office and flicked on the TV - regretably, I never even thought of firing up the office computer so I didn't FReep until I got home later that day.

It was one of those days that happens once in a generation where we will always remember where we were and who we were with. I was working at DuPont, and we were all in the conference room watching our little TC in shock. By 11am the Governor's office called and ordered the site evacuated by noon (they wouldn't let us return until two days later).

[Windcatcher]

TC --> TV (bleh...I'm tired)

[AnnaZ]

Yes. Bump it.

I've been having anxiety attacks all day. And remembering.

I cried for two months. I've cussed like a sailor ever since.
