Topic	where were you when you heard about the 9/11 attacks?
DiScOrD tHe LuNaTiC 05/19/19 9:44:14 AM #41:	Three stories: mine, and two friends. I had gotten home from work and just finished watching WWF Raw, and decided to play some Perfect Dark. However, my VCR (to which I had my N64 hooked up) didn't have an "Input" button on the remote, so I always had to turn to channel 2 and then go backwards to the A/V channel. So I turn it to channel 2 (which is the local CBS affiliate). And there's the World Trade Center burning. I remember thinking it was a rather odd fire patten, then I heard one of the anchors talking about how a plane had hit the building. I also remember them wondering just how a pilot could not notice that they were flying toward a building. And just about then....another plane flies into the second tower. I watched as the news reports flowed in; the Pentagon being attacked, a plane crashing in Pennsylvania (which I thought for a moment could have been Air Force One). And when the first tower came down...for those of us in my generation, you will understand the impact it had to hear DAN RATHER at a loss for words. He couldn't get anything out for about ten seconds. Friend one was in college, living off-campus with three roommates. He was the only one who didn't have any classes or work that day, and had volunteered to go pay the phone bill. He was walking down the road (no car) and noticed that there weren't many people on the road, but didn't think anything of it. He was fiddling with his radio Walkman as he crossed the street, and he said the first thing he heard when it came on was " -- have confirmed that it was not a nuclear attack" and he just stopped dead in the middle of the road for a minute. Friend two and his wife were getting ready to take their delayed honeymoon to England, and his sister, who was a flight attendent, was going to take them to the airport so they didn't have to pay parking fees. They were rushing around trying to finish getting ready when she knocks on the door, and my friend is like "Okay, we're good to go." And she says "You're not going anywhere. Two planes hit the World Trade Center, the FAA's grounded everything." --- "Shut your filthy whore mouth."- AB "But if I shut my filthy whore mouth, I can't use it to be a filthy whore. Does not compute." - TashaMK <cite>DiScOrD tHe LuNaTiC posted [p:922091132] in where were... [t:77725162]...</cite> <quote>Three stories: mine, and two friends.
