ITT: People who can't read.

For those affected in any way by 9/11, my heart goes out to you.

I still remember that day and it still hurts like hell even though I didn't know anyone involved. It hurts to see such utter hatred against fellow man. I'll never forget, no matter how much I wish I could.

I was young when this happened. I had no idea what was going on either, other than people were having their children taken out of school.

I can't believe it's been six years since this. It feels like yesterday.

I remember that one of the most haunting feelings were when airplanes didn't fly for days, &I was used to hearing them frequently.

I still remember the day this happened. Everyone was watching the TV and confused and scared.

My aunt was not a mile away when it happened. I was pretty relieved to hear she came out unscathed.

And yeah Levi... It does just feel like it was yesterday.

The simplicity of people is shocking.

There, just one thing that disproves the bullshit. There was no conspiracy. Get over it. There was no conspiracy.There was no conspiracy.There was no conspiracy.There was no conspiracy.There was no conspiracy.There was no conspiracy.There was no conspiracy.There was no conspiracy.There was no conspiracy.There was no conspiracy.There was no conspiracy.There was no conspiracy.There was no conspiracy.There was no conspiracy.There was no conspiracy.There was no conspiracy.There was no conspiracy.There was no conspiracy.There was no conspiracy.There was no conspiracy.There was no conspiracy.There was no conspiracy.There was no conspiracy.There was no conspiracy.There was no conspiracy.

Conspiracy theory is what all the cool kids are doing nowadays.

Actually the closest thing to a conspiracy is a bunch of politicians using it as propaganda to further their own careers. It's rather annoying, it was a big tragedy and all, but things didn't suddenly become more dangerous because it happened, if anything it's safer because our guard is up now.

That said, I'll probably never forget hearing that PA announcment during math class that day telling us to carry on our classes as normal and to not turn on the TV to check it out.

I actually remember playing PSO of all things during that time. It was like 6:00 or so in the morning here, and my friend in game is like "OMG TURN ON THE NEWS". It was pretty freakin unreal to see it all unfold like that.

I was in my sophomore year of high school, taking Indiana standardized testing in the U.S. History classroom, when the World History teacher rushed in and said "Turn on the TV, New York just got attacked!" Those words take a while to fully sink in. We turn on the TV to my right, and the first thing I see is smoke billowing out of both towers. We saw both of them collapse live. Me and my friends debated just what happened during lunch, and the rest of the day we pretty much watched the news. When I got home, my parents were out (my mom was undergoing physical therapy) so I watched the news alone, and all I could think was "...so, this is World War III." I'm very thankful I'm not as right as I thought I'd be at the time.

Yeah, never gonna forget that.

Very similar situation with me...was in Junior year in my programming class when a classmate ran in and told us to turn the TV on. I definitely thought a world war was on the way, too.

I slept in that day and someone online told me to check the news. I almost thought it had to be a hoax as I read CNN.com. Turned on the TV and saw the first tower fall. Horrific. My PSO friend who lived in New York was very very shaken by it. I also feel like it was just yesterday. It also seems like my view of the world and life changed that day. Sort of an 'innocence lost' type of thing...

Gosh. I think I was still in New Orleans and still in college (first time). I don't think I realized how serious it was until later in the day, and then there was so much paranoia and uncertainty. It was a really scary time.
