Where Were You 9/11/2001 ?

SykkBoy · 09-11-2005

I had just gotten back from walking my kids down to the bus stop and was watching Good Morning America and saw the second tower collapse..it was so surreal...it looked like a movie special effet and didn't sink in for quite awhile what had happened

I had actually stopped watching the news for years. (Regrettable tendency to internalize everything and react with innapropriate emotion. It was actually my doctor who said "stop watching the news.")

Well, I eventually decided that I was completely out of contact with my fellow beings on this planet and this was a bad thing. So...I became an MSNBC junkie. Wanted to know what was happening everywhere.

I picked late August of 2001 to make this lifestyle change, so I was right there glued to all the coverage. I appreciate irony, though...even irony this big.

I found out later that my siblings had taken a vacation to New York City. They'd left September 10th. My brother was also on the exact same flight that crashed over Lockerbie, only he took the flight the day before. I haven't seen him in years, but I imagine he has quite the store of cocktail party conversation.

One of the things I remember most were all the flags that suddenly appeared on porches across the country. I remember thinking "I wonder how long *this* is going to last?"

I wonder how many people out there glanced at their calendar today and had nothing register? Just the 11th, like the 11th of August, or the 11th of July.

I don't think I'm going to think about that anymore.

in Paris. walked into the hotel room to see the first tower on fire... with no clue what was going on (news in french). it looked to me like a bomb went off in the building.... and then i saw the second plane hit live while i was standing there trying to understand what happened and i realized what had happened. it took me a while to even grasp and accept that what i saw was real.

I didn't wake up until about 2PM, kicked on the TV before I logged into the computers and found the same show on every channel.
