Where Were You?

I woke up that morning not feeling well, and I told my mom so. She told me to stay home, but I decided to go to school anyway (I was 13). So I went, and Algebra Class (Second period) began. Mid-lesson, someone knocked at the door. A teacher that I had never seen before. She whispered something to my math teacher, who immediately ran to the TV. We asked her what happened, and she said "The World Trade Center has been attacked."
I don't think I even knew what the World Trade Center and the Pentagon were. We watched the news, as horrified 8th graders, for 10 minutes until an announcement came on saying to turn the TV off. The rest of my day I can't remember, until Woodshop. The teachers weren't allowed to have the TV in the room on, so my teacher moved the TV to his office (which had a see-through glass part) and plugged it in there so we could watch it. Watch the horror and chaos. I left school early because I threw up in the bathroom.
My dad got home late because of all of the chaos in Philadelphia, and I just remember watching it on TV for hours at home. And over the next days to come.

and it was a normal day when we heard about the world Trade centers being attacked. We actually saw on tv when the second plan hit.
the whole school stopped in Awe of what happened.
They said a small prayer over the intercom and every one went back to there normal classes

Students were getting sent home from school left and right that day.. because the parents thought that their children were unsafe and thought we were going to get attacked.. because at the time my state was high up on the alert scale for terrorist attacks.
I was wanting to go home that day.. because I was all paranoid. I ended up staying in school anyways.
I remember hearing about the attacks for the longest time in the media. I can't believe it's been that long . .

Our teachers brother was in a building just down the road, and saw the first plane fly over. He called our teacher right away, we spent the rest of the lesson watching TV for news, cus our teacher went home.

My friend called me and woke me up (I was working nights) and told me about it. I thought she was lying. Went and turned on the TV and just sat there... staring in shock.
I was supposed to go to a meeting for work that evening, but it was cancelled because the supervisor of my department lived on the Air Force Base as her hubby was in the Air Force. No one was allowed out, only people with ID were allowed in.
I remember while all flights in the US were grounded... it was eerily quiet in Midwest City. I was so used to the planes from Tinker AFB flying over. After they started flying again, they just caused nightmares. I'd hear them in my sleep and have nightmares of planes crashing into places where my family were. Sucked >.<

Sooo you turned on your TV and saw that a couple thousand people died and you laughed your ass off??? nice you mooseing moron....why not keep 2 cent comments, that are way unappropriate to yourself...ever think that perhaps some plp that post here lost some loved ones in that. Its just very inconsiderate and rude. If you dont like the thread dont post on it, contiune surfing and post and read a thread that you like instead of being a mooseing moron.

Saddest part of that day aside from all the lives lost was the reaction from the redneck community. These backwoods country frucks were trying to beat anyone up that even looked like they mighta had a red dot on thier forhead. Was only after the 7-11's, Dairy Queens, and gas stations around the country started closing down that they realized how much we depended on em.

The reason i pressed the "post" button was because i dont take internet and what i post here too seriously (perhaps i should, but i dont). Allso since it really didnt have the same shock value to me as it mustve have on some people that live there. Its just a thing that i saw on tv.
Again, im sorry it was clearly a mistake to post something like that.

Uhm, there wasn't a terrorist attack on the INTERNET, jackhole. (You act/respond as if it took place there.) It happened IRL. Where many people lost their lives and where people were scared for their lives and loved ones. Yeah, it didn't happen in your country or to you personally .. but, it could've. It could've been your family and friends that lost their lives. I bet if this were to happen to your country you'd think differently, huh? I'll remember that if it ever happens. Mike brought this up for rememberance and discussion of the attacks that happened IN REAL LIFE and were very SERIOUS .. you inconsiderate fool.Im sorry.

Best advice is what the others gave you. Don't post if you're going to be ignorant.
