So I'm watching the attacks on the World Trade Centers! Anybody else? This is so tragic to even be watching nonpregant I'd be in tears. They were playing the 911 calls & omg my heart was just breaking. I couldn't even imagine thousands of people died that day. I was in maybe 6th grade when this happened so I never really paid attention due to the fact I was like 11. & 10 years later it's a big deal. Wish I would of been paying attention then. I've just been watching this channel since yesterday. Last night they were showing Bush's interview & when he was at Ground Zero a couple days after the attack was amazing just hearing everybody chant USA. & everybody come together. Ok well i'll be watching 9/11 all week. Lol

    ugh i could not watch it i was in high school when it happened and one of the guys sitting next to me just flipped out ...his mom worked in the twin towers on like one of the higher up floors. she ended up not making it, i can never get the image of a grown ( 17) man falling to the floor in tears screaming in the middle of class anytime something comes on i immeadiatly have to change it, and now it freaks me out more because my dad works near ground zero and even though its unlikely the fear of them striking ny again scares the day lights out of me anytime he has to fly out there

    @mandac10 I have Time Warner & it's on 98 lol @Junebuggbabie85 wow that's crazy. I've never met or even known of anybody that lost somebody due to the attacks. I can't even imagine what was going on in his mind. I've never really had any interest in it but for some reason it caught my heart lol & now I can't stop watching it.

    I remembr that day so clearly. I was in 7th grade. I went to school with a cpl ppl who had realitives in ny. It was so scary.. an so sad. I can't get the image out of my head of the people actually jumping from the windows. It gives me shivers.
  • HisMom20HisMom20
    @mandac10 yes NatGeo is a channel.it's a pretty informative channel actually. @TishJ330 us too we got caught up in it last night & it was past midnight, we were to into it lol @breewashington08 omg I know you hear people asking the operators do I jump? Smh! All the lives lost that day was tragic.
  • breewashington08breewashington08
    I wlda hated bein the 911 operators.. they prolly felt sooo helpless. It was tragic.. heartbreaking
  • HisMom20HisMom20
    @breewashington08 yeah they were interviewing them & they played calls. One guy was like the person asked me to call his family for him cause he knew he wasn't gonna make it. Alot of the phone companies said since there was a high call volume that day that some of the towers stopped working. They had over a million calls in a matter of minutes (i think) & that was the most recorded ever.

    @OregonMama I was so young then that I had my head in the clouds & was careless about everything & now I wish I would of been like how I am now. It saddens me I just changed it because it's the same episode from earlier so I have to wait for tomorrow!
  • bbylucasMommabbylucasMomma
    I was in 6th grade too in all our classes we did nothing but watch the news it was sad :/ it still scares me even though I didmt know anyone there one of my teachers sons worked there so she left school to be with her family to try to get a hold of him
  • breewashington08breewashington08
    I swear I couldn't imagine knowing I was geting ready to die.. an then b forced to choose my death to jump, burn up or stay in the building while it collapsed. I dnt knw wat id do if it was my husband callin me for the last time. My heart truely breaks for evry single 1 of the victims an theyr families
  • HisMom20HisMom20
    @bbylucasMomma I remember watching it but to me it was just like "oh ok can I go to lunch now" kinda thing but now idk it breaks my heart. Did she get ahold of him? @breewashington08 I don't know what I would do either. When the building collapses & you see everybody running & screaming I don't even want to picture the people who were inside when it fell. Me & my husband were just quiet watching it & the only thing we would say was "damn" or "omg" or give each other that look like I don't even know!
  • bbylucasMommabbylucasMomma
    Yea I think she said he had stayed home that day he was very fortunate

    I was in 5th grade during 9/11 and we were standing outside waiting to go in the school when a class mate jumped out of his parents car screaming that the towers had been hit... We were all rushed to our rooms and thats all we did all day, was watch different news channels covering everything that was happening....

    My 5th grade class, teacher Mrs. Green, decided the next morning we wanted to do something to help. We told out teacher who talked to the school board and allowed our class to raise money to send to the red cross, I was the #1 money raiser and got my picture in the news paper! And our class made a blanket and put our picture in the center to send with the money...

    That is a year Ill never forget.....

    My husband is a retired ny fireman. His firehouse want to fast from there. He was there that day and for two weeks there after. He lost a lot of friends.... a tragedy.
  • HisMom20HisMom20
    @MommyofAngels that's nice of you! :) if I could high five you I would lol @Bethybaby it was such a tragedy. I couldn't imagine actually being there. Watching it on tv was to much for me. I'm glad your husband was there to help & was ok! You have an angel with you.
  • MommyofAngelsMommyofAngels
    @HisMom20 Thank You! It was a selfless act that we knew needed to be done! :)
  • BethybabyBethybaby
    At @hismom20.... Thank you. It is a painful memory that we don't talk about often. It hurts to think of all the families who have suffered because if this.

    I was in 7th grade math class and my teacher got a note from anither class saying to turn on the news and we all watched as they fell. We got sent home but my parents were separated and I was living with my mom and she was a major in the air force. They went on lock Dow. So me and my brothers had to stay with friends for two days not hearing from my either. Thwy ended up putting her in charge of the psychological evaluations of the ppl working in the morgue where all the body parts and whatnot come through after that day. She said most of the families of the deseased were lucky if they found a whole arm to bury. She was in an off mood for the rest of they year and ages a clinical psychologist. I can't even imagine what she saw and went through in that morgue for weeks
