I was moving from my first lecture of the morning to my first lab, second year of med school. A bunch of professors were in the hall, looking at the text message on their pagers. Then the second plane hit during the lab, it was clear that it was an attack, and I skipped the rest of the day, went home, and joined my (now ex-)fiancee on the couch watching CNN, and didn't turn off the TV until 5AM the next day.

I was in my dorm I was up at about 730 off to my 8am class, when someone told me that the first tower had been hit. I told him he was shitting me, so we went up and took our breakfast upstairs back to the dorm room. Got there in time to see the second tower hit. Spent the rest of the day with most of my floor watching the tv and following the news on campus. Everything was shut down that day.

Silly. Don't feed trolls. Today I saw some people on the street cheering and waving an American flag to celebrate 9/11. They were all smiles and joy over this national tragedy. However, because of how 9/11 has been twisted so much for political goals, it's no wonder common people are confused. During one president's term the media calls him infallible and accuses his critics of being traitors simply because he is the president. Then during the next term that same media drags this once esteemed office through the mud despite disappointingly similar policies between the two administrations. It's no wonder people like DD and HC are confused and don't know when to be happy and when to be sad anymore. |

I was at work and tracked it through the Interwebs -- mostly cnn.com, where I saw most of it on a live feed -- the second tower getting hit, the collapse of the first tower, etc. After a couple hours, we dragged in a TV. Certainly, no work was getting done that day.
It was a pretty memorable day. Right up there with the moon landing, Nixon resignation and JFK assassination. |

Nice one, HC.
![]() I'm curious what one's opinion of the Naudet brother's film could be. Extremely moving. You can see the segments here: http://www.youtube.com/results?searc...+brothers&aq=f |

Where were you and what were you doing? That day in the cafeteria, I was still finding a way to put my life back together when a professor turned the televisions on to news stations. And I saw the first burning tower - the second had not been hit yet. |
