Where were you on 9/11?

[Safety]

The tenth anniversary of 9/11 has finally arrived. You've probably been asked this a million times already, but where were you on this fated day ten years ago? I was in my third grade art class when my art teacher made the announcement to us. I was mostly confused, as I did not exactly understand what was going on or how I should interpret it. What about you?

I remember, it was on a Tuesday.

I was sleeping in late that morning when a friend of mine (my therapist) called me and told me about what he was watching on the NEWS.

I didn't have a TV at the time, so I turned on my radio to listen to NEWS broadcasts and booted up my computer to get on the Internet to look for the latest information.

I was horrified by what I was hearing on the radio and seeing on the Internet.

About a few days later, I saw some videos on the Internet, including videos of people jumping from the towers that they didn't show on TV.

I downloaded and saved those videos and I still have them on my second hard drive, including the ones of people jumping from the towers.

Even after getting a new computer, I took the second hard drive from my old computer and put it in my new computer.

So, I still have those videos.

I also have a video of Daniel Pearl getting beheaded by some Muslim terrorists. That really sucked!

And I also have a video of Sadam Huesien getting hanged.

That fucker got what he deserved!

I was asleep when the towers fell. I was in college, and my first class wasn't until 11:30AM. I woke at 10AM and remember remarking on what a beautiful day it was. The morning was so nice that I even brought a portable mirror onto my balcony and a cup full of hot water so that I could shave on my balcony while I took in the morning sun.

I got to school around 11:25, and the main hallway of a building I had to pass through was jammed with people. I cursed under my breath and descended to the floor below in order to pass under them, so that I wouldn't have to walk through them. When I got to the building where my class was taking place, I found out about the attacks. Still, I ignored the news for the next 3 hours, because I had classes to attend. Even after that, I went to a tutorial and flirted with girls, as though nothing strange were going on.

At around 4pm, I ended up in a student lounge where engineers usually hung out. It was jammed with about 150 students. I sat there just staring transfixed at the monitor for the next 3 hours. Reality had finally set in, although it still seemed like a dream. I didn't know what to make of it. Was it just another attack on a building, like the Timothy McVey incident? Were we now at war? What was going on!

I don't remember it that well, I was only 6 years old at the time. But I remember going to the bank that day with my mother, and I'm pretty sure that was before we heard about the attacks (although I'm not sure whether or not it was actually before the attacks happened). Then I remember watching the news coverage, but like I said, I don't remember that too well.

I don't remember.
