I remember the sinking feeling I had watching the TV and seeing those planes go through the world trade. We were getting ready for senior lunch until we saw the news and I lost my appetite. I seriously thought the world was going to end right then and there.

I remember me and my friends bumping Bubba Sparkks in my boy's car on the way back to school when we heard the news on the radio. We were shook. We had a meeting in the gym of our school.

I remember the next day and how eerie it was. Walking through the mall that me and my friends would hang out at and seeing it dead empty. That's a feeling that will never leave me for as long as I live. I was in tears afterwards. I had family members living in Jersey at the time and me and my family called them to make sure they were okay. My cousin lost co-workers and friends that day. She actually worked on the 81st floor of tower one. Sad day.

I don't know what's sadder...that day or how much we've fallen as a country fighting these wars and trying to chase ghosts afterwards.

My thoughts and opinions on everything changed from that day...

my grandma woke up that morning at like 6 for 8th grade and I hit her with the classic "I'm sick" so she just told me to go back to bed. I'm like :ahh: and quickly go back to sleep. My moms wakes me up a few hours later I believe and is about to make me go to the doctor even though I'm not really sick :sadcam: but I can't admit it. I go in the kitchen and see the Hudson River with a huge smoke cloud coming from it. My grandma is just sitting there watching so I go in the other room to see what's up. I don't know wtf a wtc is or a terrorist but all the images on tv are fukking crazy! They are showing footage on the major news networks of people saying fukk shyt and all kinds of stuff.

Start riding to the doctor and the dude on the local hip hop station is like saddam has taken credit for the attack or some shyt. :kobe: we get to the doctor and this lady is yelling about how a bomb just went off in front of the White House then another is saying how she knows someone who works in the wtc. It just felt real weird like not being with other kids at school and instead hearing all these adults talk about it unedited. Sat in the car while moms got my prescription and CBS news had take over the hip hop station. From there they started bringing up Bin Laden and saying he did it. Got home and it was on every channel some channels were just screensavers with 911 related messages. Got on AOL and it was all over the welcome screen and had pop ups coming up also.

Then a few years later I saw the doc Loose Change :wow: then a few after that I actually visited ground zero.

Several months into my 1st job. Sporadic chatter and the Internet crashing got me thinking something was up. Workplace sent everyone packing early...:yeshrug:

was playing the gamecube with 2 friends, we flipped some channels in between and saw it on the moment that people jumped from a tower :dwillhuh:

my friends didnt even care and we went back to the game, i was kind of shocked and interested though.
cant really remember anything else that day but the teachers on school the next couple of days held some sad speeches

I was in my first year of college. Got out of my first class and went to the student center to get breakfast.

There was nobody behind the counter.

After about 10 minutes, chick comes from the back and says "Sorry - I was listening to the radio, there was an attack on New York..."

I left from school to cop The Blueprint, so I listened to that on the way home. Didn't really register until I saw it on TV.
