9/11 Remembrance Thread (#2)

[banjonator1]

When people say that only two planes were involved in 9/11 I cringe in pain.

But on a serious note, God bless the people who lost family and friends to terrorism, in the 9/11 attacks and worldwide.

I man this is just sad watching the towers fall. It looks like a blizzard hit when the smoke came

They showed footage of that in class yesterday. The towers collapsed and the smoke just erupted down onto the streets, and people were running like all hell broke loose. It was scary-lookin'.

My music teacher was in New York on 9/11. She told us about it. The temperature was perfect; the sky was bright blue; everything seemed right with the world until 8:46 in the morning.

Osama bin Laden, in SSBB? Seems legit.

Fun fact, "Bin" means son of in Arabic. Learned that in Dubai.

Yeah, some languages have names as "Person, son of Guy".

Seth MacFarlane, creator of Family Guy was due to be on one of those flights, but luckily he was partying the night before, and couldn't get up in time to catch the flight.

Talk about a close call, eh?

That's one scary story you got there.

This is the song I was talking about in the previous thread.

Well, it's that day again. My condolences to all the lives lost.

 

[New Super Mario]

Same. Sad day today.

The footage of the people jumping out the building just makes me feel so terrible.

 

[DragonFreak]

Wait, is September 11th? I feel unpatriotic right now..........

 

[NSY]

It is even sad for us Brits.

All lifes lost will never be forgotten.

Right now people who are alive and well have so many choices. The possibilities are endless. For those trapped above where the plane hit in the towers though, they were down to just five choices: die by fire, die by smoke inhalation, hope for someone to come up and rescue you, die when the building crumbles, or jump.

Just these choices. No "what will I do later today" or "would it hurt to cheat on my diet once". Just those five. They know it's over. There is absolutely no way they can survive. The tower won't stand very long, and time was ticking. Just five choices.

What's that supposed to mean.

well, my uncle chose "sprint down 42 flights of stairs" and he made it.

then again, if he was any higher up who knows what would have happened.

9/11 was on a Tuesday and this is the first 9/11 anniversary to fall on a Tuesday.

 

[Nabber]

well actually there was an anniversary in 2007 that fell on a Tuesday

and also today isn't a Tuesday

 

[Specific Neptune]

Aye, pretty sure it's Wednesday

 

[DragonFreak]

Time zones also affect dates.

[Ray Trace]

....I didn't even notice it was even 9/11 today

 

[Unknown Entity]

I'm a day late.

I wasn't affected by this at all as I had no sense in me.(i was a stupid kid)

Looking at it today, I see it as any other disaster that occurs like this. Horrible.

Nonetheless, R.I.P. to all who lost their lives that day.

 

[banjonator1]

It's weird to think we're coming up on the 15th anniversary of this. I was only like, 3 or 4, in 2001. I'd really be interested if some the fogey older users could share stories of what they were doing when it went down.

Anyway, love goes out to the families of the ~3,000 people who lost their life as a result and are still dealing with the aftermath and the ~1000 people who have been diagnosed with cancer from 9/11 related toxins.

 

[NathanBros]

I was at the school at the day and got perplexed, thinking of a some kind of missile attack.

 

[EctoBiologist]

Rest in peace.

This was 5 months before I was born and I am not American but I feel sad for every innocent person who died.
