Weell I'm a lil messed up, btu someobody sent me this and man...this made me cry, brought a lot of memories and emotions back, just thtough maybe some others awant to see it:

I cry whenever I see video of the planes hitting the buildings, so I couldnt bear to see them again.I dont think anybody needs to see them anymore, it's just too emotional of a scene.I'll never forget how I felt, and I'm sure noone else will either.

i'll never forget that day man, it's just one of those things that our generation will always remember exactly where they were and what they were doing.my father had taken a picture a while back of the WTC before all this, and i had it enlarged and it's hanging on the wall of my house now.. i still get the chills every time i look at iti remember the view afterwards.. i was on long island at the time, and my friends and i went to the docks the next day and looked out towards the city.. its a sight i'll never be able to get out of my head.. just a big dark abyss where the towers used to be.. we just stood there for a few hours in silence staring out there.. ugh.. i don't even wanna think about it

i think being so close to had a lasting effect on me.. i know people who couldnt get to their homes afterwards, and people whos friends or loved ones were in the FDNY or NYPD that were on the scene. luckily, all of them came home.i still think about it everytime i go to the docks and look over the bridges.. it puts things in perspective for me

One of my moms friends who she used to work with in California moved to NYC in like 1999. She took the ferry to the WTC everymorning to get coffee but for some reason on 9/11 she overslept her alarm and she was on the ferry when the two planes struck the buildings. Crazy stuff

I've never actually been to the site - but I remember the day like it was yesterday.

without question the scariest thing i've ever seen in my life was those hours...it was just literally too much, and you couldn't turn away and not watch, or pretend it didn't happen.just way too much, it was way too emotional.

It was surreal. As I watched it - and the aftermath - I felt as though I was watching a movie.

it was the sickest thing i've ever seen, part of me actually still wonders if it was all a weird dream.

I wish it was a dream.

I never experienced the Kennedy assasination but I think I know how they felt. Oh boy I feel myself getting choked up as I post this. That was such a terrible day. I remember exactly where I was in a classroom when they announced in a trembling voice "the twin towers have been hit this morning, school will be ending early." I remember feeling confused and sad. I didn't understand the significance of it just yet. I got home and my dad had the tv on and we I watched as there was a smoking plane inside one of the twin towers. I was just shocked and almost broke down. I was one of the lucky ones not to know anybody who was killed in 9/11. That day will never be forgotten by any American in this country and never should be.

I was actually home sick from school that day, and I was flipping through the stations untill I saw that all of them were covering the same thing: The first plane had hit the WTC. After watching for a couple minutes I saw second plane hit live. Ill never forget that.I went to New York in 2004, and I went down to Ground Zero. I took an incredible picture of it where there is a huge gap between buildings and you can see the clouds part to see rays of sun peeking through. If I acn find it tomarrow I will post it here.It really puts things into perspective to see that. Next time someone is bitching about a 2 outter, I will direct them to this thread.

Ya know another thing that I remember from that day is seeing all the kids in Iraq dancing around and celebrating and all of had signs that said all kinds of hateful things about the U.S. and they were burning the flag. I don't know if anybody remembers this but when people say we need to protect the innocent children in Iraq I always tell them just remember what the kids did after 9/11. I remember going from being sad to wanting to kill whoever did this and their whole country. I don't remember being so sad and so angry all in the same day.

Okay but what do you expect us to do? If we just let it go then not only will they not stop attacking us but other countries will too and sooner or later, this country would be communist.

Im not saying that we made a mistake by doing what we didi just wish we didnt have to kill people over it...but, your right, i doubt there were to many ways to handle it that would have ended the war immediately like dropping the bomb did

I remember a friend and I walked into one of my professors' offices, he told us we were under attack, and my friend and I just looked at each other and laughed. We walked up to the Student Center together, saw a television, and found out that our professor wasn't lying. The first thing that went through my mind was my uncle was at the Pentagon that day. He was brought in as a consultant a few days prior, and was on site when it got hit. He came home safely but their neighbor across the street wasn't so lucky. All they found of her was a jaw bone and part of her hip. I will never forget that day as long as I live.

Oooooh yeah I thought you were saying it wasn't the right move. Yeah I wish it didnt have to come to that either.

I didn't know anyone personally that died, or that were even affected, but that day affected me more than I even want to admit. The wave of emotions, not only on that day but for months after, were too much to bare. It was such a senseless act of violence, againist people who were simply people going about their everyday lives. I used to take alot of things for granted, and sometimes I still do. But that day, has and always will put things in perspective. Their was alot of bravery that day, and families that lost loved ones are still bravely going on. Out of respect for them I'll never forget, and hopefully one day mankind can solve its problems without terror, hate, and senseless horrible crimes againist itself. this was the best tribute I found on the net, it was made Oct 2001 I believehttp://www.cantcryhardenough.com/

I remember going from being sad to wanting to kill whoever did this and their whole country.

The difficult thing about 9/11 was that there was no "whole country" to retaliate against. We weren't attacked by a country but rather by a web of terrorists who are spread throughout the world. This is what makes the war on terror so complicated. Though we would like to do something as simple as retaliate against a single country, there is no one country responsible.I think this is in part why it is so difficult to heal the pain of 9/11. There is no closure really. The people who committed the crime are all already dead. There is no real target (with the exception of Osama Bin Laden) that we can go after to "get even." We can kill or capture terrorists and we can destroy bases and training camps, but it's really not the same. The terrorism movement throughout the world is like a cancer that has deeply rooted itself within one's body. Unlike certain tumors that can be removed all at once, this cancer is elusive and almost never will be fully healed.
