what was your reaction to 9/11
Suga Foot:
I saw the 2nd plane hit. It was early in the morning so I was just staring at the tv with a blank look on my face.
Sikotic™:
I remembering waking up at 6am and seeing that there was a fire in the World Trade Center, or at least that's what the news reported. But you could see a huge gaping hole in the building so you knew it wasn't just a fire. When the second plane hit, I couldn't believe it, my heart sank. Then the Pentagon jot jacked up and then stuff was happening in Pennsylvania. I wasn't even gonna go to school because no one knew what was gonna get hit next. People were scared that downtown LA was gonna get hit.
That whole day.....nah, the whole week was surreal.
pappy:
they didnt tell us in school, they got on the loud speaker an said something went down at the twin towers an they would keep us informed. Seniors are not allowed out for lunch today an no1 is allowed to leave the school untill 2:30 unless your parents come an pick you up. After that they siad nothing. I found out as soon as the class ended b/c a teacher was in the hallway ballin sayin 2 jumbo jets were hijacked an flew into the twin towers kamikazee style. i stuck around for 2 more periods an than snuck out a window on the first floor an went home an my face was glued to the tv all day. It was the craziest shit i had ever seen. See one thing people dont understand is it hit new yorkers extra hard. Even new yorkers that are anti US it hit them hard b/c we grew up with the towers. Thats something most of you could never understand. Millions of new yorkers were able just to look out there window an watch it live. Too new yorkers this wasnt about terroism an crooked US policies, it was about i dunno i cant put it into words lol. Its funny in a way tho, b4 9/11 every1 would bitch about how ugly the towers were lol.
Trauma-san:
I woke up @ like 9:30 that day, or something, like that, and took a shower, got ready, went out, and got in my car. I started driving to work, and turned the radio on, and as I was driving over the bridge by my house, the woman on the radio was like "Apparently the jets were filled with fuel, there was a huge explosion, and basically, that's why both of the twin towers are lying in downtown manhattan this morning"
and I thought "SHIT" It was just all out of nowhere. I figured the towers fell over or something, lol. I couldn't figure out what they were talking about, and then by the time I got to work, I had heard more about it. They were talking about how the firefighters had just ran up into the tower and everything, and how the towers had collapsed with many of the firefighters inside, and I felt really strongly proud of them for that.
Then when I got to work, we just sat around and watched it on T.V. all day. My boss's sister is a cop in NY, and she was getting off her shift about the time it happened. Nobody had heard from her, and he kept calling home all day, finally, that night, they figured out she had been down helping @ ground zero all day, and was fine. I wasn't afraid or anything, I knew it was an isolated incident, but when they were talking about the other 2 planes, it was like watching a movie or something. Watching the President's travel, and later seeing the video of Air Force One complete with a fighter jet escort flying back to washington so the president could speak from the Oval Office that night was incredible, too. Just lots and lots of vivid imagery from that day.
Woodrow:
I was out drinking the night before, and so I was sleeping in. I had my phone on silent, but it kept hearing that vibrating sound go off so I was really pissed. I figured I'd better see what the deal was and why people were calling me so early, and it was my mom. She told me to turn on the TV and I did. :-\ I watched it for like 4 hours then I decided to go back to bed and hope it went away...
