Well its just almost its 2 year anniversary on that terrible day, September 11, 2001. Where were you on that day? what memories do you have too?
I was at home sitting in front of the TV, i saw them collapse, and didn't know what to think. My mom, who was watching with me at the time, thought the towers were still up, but I knew they collapsed. I'll always remember that day, and even though it seems quite a long time ago already to me, I'll never forget it.
Rest in Peace to all those who lost their lives on that terrible day.
I remember it well. It was one of those days when my alarm clock wouldn't go off. So, i was late for school. I was in a bit of a hurry, I had my shower and then while I was eating my morning cereal, I turned on the TV and there it was. By the time I got to school, everyone was talking about it.
I was driving the car pool that day. I got up late and did not turn on the tv or radio. When I got to my friend's house to pick him up, he told me. Just like when the Challenger shuttle exploded, I didn't believe it when I was first told. I thought he was making everything up and it wasn't a very funny joke.
By the time we had picked up the other member of our car pool, it was starting to sink in.
Even though we went to our regular classes that day, many of us spent our free time huddled around the tv's through the campus. Once I got home, I was glued to the tv news, flipping back and forth to different channels to see if they had updates.
I still feel sick when I think about how easy it was for the terrorists to end so many lives.

I remember all so well. I woke up late and was getting ready for school. I heard the TV on downstairs, I checked what was happening, and then I saw it. I was shocked and terrified of what I jsut saw on the screen. Thoughts were pouring into my mind as I was going to school and when I got there, all the TVs in the bulidng were on, and we spent the whole day watching. Very very sad.
I woke up to my mom asking me what happened to global (a local news channel here) casue it had switched to cnn.... I sauntered downstairs and to by abide say planes crashing into a building, in complete awe i stood there, eyes fixed upon the screen as the few words escaped my lips. It was a school day and as i listlessly got dressed the thoughts hit me one by one. I was too overwhelmed to speak...
If your wondering, its just a part from my la report i had to do in grade 6.
It was pretty weird and all, going to school that day was hard as the entire class spent the day watching the news!
I had the day off from work that morning, so I slept in until 5:30. I got up, and after going through the Three Esses, turned on the tv to watch the news. They switched to footage of the first tower, and saw the second jet hit, and the rest of the events of the day unfolded.
It's old, and been said a million times, but I'll never forget that day as long as I live. There are certain events, the imagery of which will be etched into my mind, as clearly as any television screen could produce, and the happenings of Sept 11, 2001 will be one of those things, along with the Challenger explosion (which I was watching live at lunch-time).
Just in the interest of humanizing that day a bit more, September 11 has been a day of sadness in the recent human experience since 1973, when Agosto Pinochet took pwer through a coup in Chile. By the end of the initial day, 3000 Chileans were dead, and over the next week, an estimated 17,000 more would join them, their bodies piled in the football stadium. A 17 year-long wave of murder, torture, detention and political repression followed for the people of Chile, subjecting them to terrorism on a daily basis.
For the sake of all victims of terrorism that are connected with the day of September 11, let's do them the service of not forgetting them.
i remember.People(including my parents were talking about the end of the world and all that.)When i saw the planes hit the towers i thought it was just a new movie display and at school everyone (including teachers ) started crying.i never ever want to experience something like thAT. : osama, i hope those americans find you and give you a sex transplant since he hates woman so much <>&:
God Bless Canada
and
God Bless America

It was significantly a terrid thing to watch and im not sure how someone could do such a thing. Lets hope that never occurs again, iw ouldnt ever want to get up to that news again. I can remenmber here from channels 1-60 all of tehm were on news stations. EVEn the cartoon ones had switched over. For at least 10 days that happened! It has been a horrible tragedy and one that will forever be etched in teh minds of those who witnessed it.
At the time I was living in Peace River (northern Alberta). I was enroute to a jobsite in my truck when I heard the live coverage on a BBC radio broadcast (courtesy of CKUA). I called back to the office and had them tune to the same radio station. Everyone was working and had no idea what was going on.
When I arrived to the town of my destination I zipped into a hotel and watched the events unfold on the tv that was on in the lobby. I was galvanized on the spot and couldn't believe what was happening on the tv screen. Anyone that walked by to head into the coffee shop I told them to see what was on the tv. I was floored.
Outside in the parking lot I talked with a fellow from Wisconsin who was changing a waterpump in his pickup. He was on his way to Alaska and we talked about the events for a few minutes.. I knew he was troubled with his broken down truck but I could also sense his helplessness of the situation that was taking place in NY.
I have alot of good American friends and what took place that day is something I will never forget. I felt sorry for my American friends and at the same time felt that much closer to them.
Where were you on .........????
