I expected some Chessna or something. So I didn't care much intil the 2nd plane hit.

Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity. The woman who is not pursued sets up the doctrine that pursuit is offensive to her sex, and wants to make it a felony.

When I heard a plane had hit the WTC, I knew it had to be deliberate. The day is burned into my memory! So sad! I remember thinking how did they get the names of the hijackers so quickly? Complete with pictures!!! They had them on tv the first day! deplorably republican |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 45954676  United Kingdom09/11/2013 08:22 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I was at school when the first plane hit. I believe it was geography class. When I got home I found my mum staring at the TV, a look of shock on her face. Took me a few moments to register what was happening and then it sunk in as the reporters kept repeating 'airliner flown into World Trade Center' then saw the second one crash and oh my fucking god! Scared the shit out of me. |

Bush can't seem to remember where he was when JFK was assassinated. How's that possible? Everyone who was not in a coma can remember the exact circumstances when something extraordinary happened. I know of no one who could not remember about 9/11. |

I was in my bed, trying to prolong my sleep, as my mother opened the door and said: "There has been a huge terrorist attack in New York! It is terible! Wake up and come see the TV!" I said "Oh comon, not again these Americans with their false flag attacks! So they want to start a war again! I don't wanna listen to their lies!

| Lady Jane Smith Forum Administrator User ID: 9017502 Germany09/11/2013 08:35 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | No. I heard the sound & thought a plane had crashed into our building. I dove under my desk. After the explosion, I climbed out & saw the Pentagon on fire across the highway from my office window. I did know about the first plane hitting the WTC at that time(thought it was a small plane), but did not know about the second. I was working hard on a fiscal deadline & did not have time to consider that more than a terrible accident had happened.
