[Bruce Monkhouse]

I just read your original post again+ and it reads excactly like Muskrat described it.

I guess then you agree with his interpretation,

I already informed everyone here what I meant by my original post. I don't need to address it again. If you or anyone else wishes to continue to create an argument where there isn't one, then please private message me and we can discuss this ourselves without turning this forum into a 50 post argument, out of respect to other people on this site.

Nomercy - Please practice what you preach. Read my posts. I asked for clarification regarding what you meant about the US revisiting the Gulf. Pertaining to that, I did not accuse you of anything.

...to me, implies that the US is still paralyzed at something that happened over three years ago, yes it was horrifically tragic and my heart goes out to all who died, however, I feel that people just need to move on and not be horrified day to day by color coded terror alerts.

Don't you say there that people are horrified? Would you say that, when you visited the US, people were horrified and paralyzed?

Alright Gents this thread originally started out as a "where were you when...?" sort of thing and I can already predict it's course into oblivion.
Doesn't matter who started it by saying what about what, we've had enough mud slingings on this board for the week.
So please...for everyones sake, both sides of this debate take it to Pm's and nip this in the ass before it starts.

Good call, Che,
I was at work that day when I heard on the radio that a plane had hit the WTC. I went into the common room and turned on the TV. By the time the second plane hit there was myself,my partner and about 30 inmates in the room. Now any of you who have visited a jail know that its a noisy place but,just like time stood still, you could here a pin drop that day. I remember later slumping into my chair and telling my partner that we had just witnessed the start of WW111.

I was at school. The teachers knew but they were told not to tell the students. I found out at 4 EST when I got home and turned the TV onto CBC.

The clock radio had just woken my wife and I up and the announcer came on to say that a plane had flown into the WTC.  I mentioned to my wife, "I bet that Osama bastard had something to do with it", we spent the rest of the day watching events unfold.

A very good motionless video, but perhaps showing other countries suffering not just the United States would of been a bit less selfish, providing USA has killed more innocent people in an hour then the entire Sept 11 attacks.. Not trying to be a party pooper just stating the obviously, no need to flame me either for this providing I wont ever be back here. You and I both know it's true

i came home from school, at lunch time.. my mom was sitting there all teary eyes, i thought she was watching a movie, so i walked over and said, good movie huh..and seen the first building on fire, and then the second one hit, i thought it was some frigged up movie still, i was like whats the name of this? my mom said, Joe, this isn't a movie, this is for real, thousands of people are getting killed as we speak, thats when it hit, i just felt all weird inside, like oh man, wtf is going on, so i ended up going back to school, and we just talked about that for the afternoon, i then ran home and kept it on ctv newsnet like all day, and some CNN. it was a sad sad day, that changed the world forever.

and BTW I'm not sure, but i watched this documentary of this firefighter on his first day, and they followed him with a camera, and im pretty sure that they heard this loud roar and turned the camera up to see what it was, and then it showed the first plane hit, don't quote me on it though, it might have been a dream because, as I'm sure, it etched many bad memories in alot of people.

I was getting ready for work.  My wife called from the living room and said a plane had hit the WTC.  Like many others, I thought it was an accident.  Alas, we soon found out otherwise.  My granddaughter and I were in the living room watching TV when the second plane appeared and smashed into the other tower. 

My granddaughter's birthday is Sept 11.  She had a bad time with that.

McKibbon -- you are correct.  There is a single video, only a few frames long, showing the first plane hitting.  I don't recall the context and I've only seen it once or twice.

 

[jswift872]

phew, so i wasn't dreaming? good, but, i feel bad for your granddaughter, what a b-day present.  :'( :-

Sounds right.  There was footage of the first plane hitting, it just wasn't broadcast live (obviously).
