While eating breakfast before going to school, I was flipping through the channels. When I saw the live report, I was just a little surprised of what happened, but then I didn't really care for it. The worst part was how everyone at school was talking about it. It was quite annoying at that time.
I remember, I was in bio class that day. We saw the smoke and wondered what the hell it was coming from. After I found out, I kinda went on with my life. I cared about what had happened and the people that were affected, but I just don't get phased that much when stuff like this happens.
For all you awesome people, it's just Phoenix. The numbers are just the amount of times people misspell it.
When I heard about it I was on my way to class, and it was so wierd because I was listening to one of those goofy morning shows and they suddenly got very serious and told people to turn to CNN, but they wouldn't say why... Once I got to class I soon found out, and I didn't stay long because it was canceled.
I wasn't all that shocked, but I remember being pissed off about how some selfish, worthless bastard could think that any cause could be worth that kind of sacrifice. There are a LOT of political and religious causes out there, and if we all start going around killing and destroying for the cause than pretty soon there's noone and nothing left TO kill or destroy any more. I remember hoping I could find out what their goals were, so that I could vehemently oppose them just on general priniciples.
This is a decent thread so far, and I just ask that anyone who wants to give some crazy conspiracy theory or anti-US rhetoric or whatever at least wait til tomorrow, k?
I remember being out on the practice field for high school band. We didn't have TV access, so all we heard was rumors for a few hours. The first time I heard it was at about 9:30 my time, and the guy relating the story thought that the White House had been hit too. We found out the full situation next period, and the enormity really set in.
Hahahahaha, you were in the school band.Originally posted by: Y

Who gave you that shit anyway? Laffotastic.
The 9/11 response following in the days after was a massive outpouring of support and donations from everyone around here. It's really rather pitiful that it takes massive disasters like 9/11 and the hurricane devastation that kills thousands to get people to start contributing to humanity, but at least they do respond.
i was at a friend and we were playing medal of honour AA. and his sis said that amerika was under attack or something. and i didn't really care at that moment. until i got home and saw the bignes of the attack.
and would do the same if i was the terrorist. if i was brainwashed, if i would believe that i get an eternity of happiness, and if i in this live don't even have the money to feed my children than i would do it.
and i also think many of you would do the same if you were in that situation.
I'm a pretty big cynic, but to blame the suicidal rage of the 9/11 hijackers on their situation is kind of odd, considering millions of other people live in the same kind of situation daily and don't orchestrate enormous attacks against the U.S. It takes a kind of malice that isn't born out of situational angst, but deep psychological problems too. 99% of people put in a situation of total abject poverty do not strike out at a government across the world in an attack to murder innocent citizens and destablize the world economy. It takes a special brand.
woofcat, you seem to be confused. the anti-american sentiment wasnt supposed to start until AFTER bush's retaliation. before that, america was no different than that frozen tundra you call a country, idiot.
