I remember a couple of years late, someone from the province told me those were the first breaking news, special edition papers since the world war 2, the war was over.

I still get goosebumps thinking about that day.

Going to class up @ UBC, math 184, watching it in class for the entire period.

I slept in for class that day woke up at 9 and thought it was some hoax till I turned on the tv and watched CNN. Stayed home for most of the day and just watched the news. Pretty frightening stuff especially when they kept showing the jumpers and the second plane flying into the tower

gdoh 09-13-2010 07:04 AM

wow very chilling stuff i still remember waking up in the morning and mom telling me to turn on the tv watching it just speechless

rip

Is there a link of the documentary aired on saturday?

Psykopathik 09-13-2010 08:37 AM

i cant even watch vids of this anymore. i'll start crying.

i was leaving for work in the morning, and as i walked out the door, my mom yells to me a plane crashed.

i thought nothing of it and replied "planes crash all the time".

when i got to work everyone was glued to the TV. i was wondering WTF?

wasn't till the end of the day when all air traffic was grounded and they finally figured out it was a terrorist attack.

for a month i stayed away from tall buildings. I was so fucking paranoid.

I remember on the following year my dad flew to New York to visit his relatives on September 11th (2002). His reasoning was that the flight was super cheap, there were literally maybe twenty people flying (he got to move up to first class because it was empty lol) and out of the entire year, that day would likely have the absolute most security in the airport and airplane. Man, he was brave... you couldn't have given me a million dollars to fly to New York on that day...

I remember as well on September 12, 2001 my turbo-back exhaust came in to my aunts place for my DSM from MachV just across the border in Lynden, and i really wanted it bad! So i went with my best friend and his girl friend. We waited to get through the border for 6-7 hours. It was interesting because we talked to people along the way in the line-up. When we got across we picked it up, and spent less than 10 minutes in Lynden and came back and installed it. Longest border wait ever.

bumping this up.
it's been 10 years ...
seemed like this happened just a year ago --
how time has passed ...
this just reminds of you how precious life is ...

Culverin 09-08-2011 09:41 PM

And how screwed up humanity is.

XplicitLuder 09-08-2011 11:16 PM

i was only in gr 4..so didn't comprehend this. But now even watching old tapes and all it's so chilly to take in

bengy 09-09-2011 09:21 AM

Can't say it changed my life very much, if at all. Sure, it was a tragedy, which if you consider the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, is still on going.

But New York is pretty far from here, I don't have any connections there really, and people die everyday of natural causes or at the hand of other people.

The only thing that I could say has affected me is travelling across the border is more of a bitch than it used to be, in terms of security screening.

JDął 09-09-2011 10:42 AM

My dad piloted a commercial airliner out of New York that morning only an hour or so before the first plane hit the World Trade Center. We didn't know where he was for a couple hours as we watched four planes go down (allegedly) and the news talk of more hijackings still in the air. So yeah, I remember that day pretty well.

minoru_tanaka 09-09-2011 11:29 AM

On that day there was actually a Jenga tournament @ Langara. A few of my friends came out with the sets. The school of course cancelled the contest and let the contestants take the sets home.

Graeme S 09-09-2011 11:37 AM

I got woken up by a call from a friend telling me to turn on the TV; 20 minutes later, I got a call from work (starbucks) saying not to come to work and that the whole company was shutting down in case someone decided to target the stores as a symbol of Western Corporate monopolies.

That were some scary shit going down.

Phil@rise 09-09-2011 01:39 PM

10 years later people are still scared and the US is even further in financial ruin as a product of this. Sad to say but terror is still winning.

Psykopathik 09-09-2011 01:44 PM

you can pretty well bet passengers aren't gonna take shit from anyone causing trouble on planes.

who remembers that one idiot that got killed trying to get into the cockpit? The other passengers bet him to death.

danned 09-10-2011 07:49 AM

times really flies,
10 years from now, seems that it happened yesterday

9:15am in the morning and no terrorist attacks yet,

I wonder when they'll strike

Death2Theft 09-10-2011 08:24 AM

I was so sick of hearing about the 9/11 bs. Those faggot Americans show up in our town for the olympics, and all we get are a bunch of 911 in an inside job stickers all over DT. Nothing pissed me off than americans thinking they are the center of the world.

Then I discovered globalists/eugenics/rothschilds/why real jobs are going overseas. Now I see that 9/11 was just a tiny part in the plan. The more I understand the more I'm scared.

Bouncing Bettys 09-10-2011 09:45 AM

I had considered starting a new thread for the 10 year just to remember that day, the victims, and post interesting videos and material while keeping conspiracy/official story crap out of it.

Here's Air Traffic Control audio from that day

Wanna bet now adays people dont do shit other then make videos and upload them to youtube and facebook.
If something like this were to happen again thats all we'd see done is passengers filming it and uploading it. People haven't gotten any tougher in ten years.
Knives for fucksakes! Knives brought down the WTC and killed thousands!
