World Trade Center-Plane Crash

Lurker feeling very helpless right now...

I've been coming to Lit for about a year and a half now & have posted before but kind of "got out of the loop"...

Getting married in November...

Fiancee' just got the call this morning to head out from the southeast straight into D.C., 500 miles away. He isn't military, fucking news coverage from our major city(nationwide). I understand the importance of having coverage during a crisis like this but DAMMIT...they have more than enough local/area people running around there without adding any more! Our roommate (local ABC affiliate) just got the notice a few hours ago to go as well, so I am sitting here in a dark house scared shitless for both of them for God only knows how long...

If they were military I could justify it in my mind but this is senseless bullshit! Emergency evacuation of D.C. and they head right into the middle of it. Bossman told one of them he "could get as much OT as he wanted while there..."

Whoopeefuckindoo!

In the grand scheme of all that has transpired, my sorrow might seem somewhat trivial, so thanks for letting me get a little of this off my chest...

Much love and prayers to all...


A Heavy Heart
 
Now people are afraid of a gas shortage around here. Lines backed up into the streets when I was coming home tonight. A gas station in Columbus is charging $4.99 a gallon!!!

The only reason there may be a shortage is because everyone is stocking up at the same time!
 
To all my fellow Citizens

GOD BLESS AMERICA!

I may not of been born here but this is my new home. I aslo im sick, hurt, anrgy etc. How could a thing like this happen to our country?

I pray for all of us as fellow Americans weather we were born here or adopted this as our new country. Let us remember those all those senseless waste of life. I really feel for all those who lostr loves one today. This is bring tears to my eyes writing this out.

Let me say this those who did this to our countrty shall pay the penalty in due time and will full fury!

Peter :(
Whose not happy but very sad :(
 
We've been glued to the set all day. I can't believe the close up footage of the people jumping that they keep showing. The whole thing is so horrible and surreal.

Peace.

We have to destroy them. If we don't, we will be perceived as weak.

And we will destroy them. Just as Bush1 paid for the gulf war that democrats opposed, Bush2 who will do the right thing. A far cry from LBJ.
 
Here you go Demian, though it seemed to disintegrate into more political mud slinging.
 
Thanks Killer...

I wuz just now beginning to dig through user cp...I'm still in shock az I keep seeing pictures of planes flying innocent people into Monuments of a Nation trying to better the World...
 
I am still in shock. I do not know when I will absorb the reality of yesterday's events. The coordination and expertise of these individuals is incomprehensible. The acts themselves, unconscionable.
 
I am bumping this up. I think it is a very good accounting of what everyone felt, and thought while it was happening. If you havn't read it, please, take the time to do so.
 
My other two cents worth........

For once in my life, I am truly speechless.

What can I possibly say that could make a difference? Nothing.

Sorrow, grief, anger and thankful are all adjectives or words used to describe how I feel.

I am in sorrow and grief for those who have given their lives in any way, shape or form in this tragedy.

I am angered at those who committed this haneous act. (My thread "Redneck Rampage about the NYC WTC" said a little bit about that)

And I am thankful for all the Americans, US of A'ers who are doing their part. Whether it is prayers, calls, blood donations, volunteering, etc....

I only wish there was more I could do. I have scheduled to go in tomorrow and give blood (moved my appointment up by 2 weeks). I will go and help in any way to NYC, DC or PA.

For those of you whom have lost relatives, friends or someone close to you I offer you my condolence and sympathy. For all Americans I offer this United we stand and divided we fall. Let us be United and say to the world "We will not tolerate this action under any circumstances, those of you who wish to take part can be either part of the solution or part of the problem, the choice is yours"

Maybe my statements are too condemning or too filled with piss and vinegar. But that is just the way I feel about it and until Justice is served........nevermind.

I reread it. It brings back the nightmare feelings of being here for the original postings. But it is accurate, and does really reflect well how things happened.
 
I searched for this thread to be able to reply to a thread by floridaguy64 regarding the 6 month anniversary of September 11th. As I started to reread it though, it struck me that this thread also is a fitting reply to several other threads on the board right now about cliques, communities, etc. Look at the variety of posters in this thread, all united by a disaster. When push came to shove, we were all very much alike. Who made which list on September 10th didn't matter a bit, once September 11th got here.

I hope we don't need things like September 11th in our lives periodically to remind us that we're all in this together.
 
I wasnt on the Lit board in Sept..........But after reading the posts it brought it all back:( Good Idea to bring it up......The emotion in the Posts, wow:(
 
Thanks Cheyenne for bringing this very relative thread back up to the GB.

I just saw the movie "We Were Soldiers" and after seeing it, you beat me to the punch.

The 6 month Anniversary is coming up soon for the events of September 11th and I will continue my prayer vigil for those involved, those who committed such haneous crimes against ALL humanity and for those who have lost loved ones in this terrible chapter of Humankind.

To those who have family members who are doing their duty for ManKind in the routing out of Terrorist world wide, I give my thanks. To those who have family members who are serving in the US Military worldwide, I say thank you.

To those who helped or are helping or committed these crimes, I say "We are coming for your asses."

Good day and now back to your regularly scheduled program.

shivers ran down my back.. goosebumps on my arms.. the hair standing up on them also.. tears in my eyes..

Cheyenne.. thank you for bumping this..
 
Here, here, Cheyenne.

Those who died, and those worked to try and save those trapped, are national heros. We also have to remember to honor and remember those who are currently fighting for our freedom, as we sit here comfortably at our computers. Safely.
 
I joined lit

After I got back from my recovery efforts in NYC. This is the first time I read this thread today. I am so saddenned remembering my mother crying on the phone from NYC telling me my brother is under the rubble of Tower 1. That is the first time I remember crying since I was a kid. It turned to anger very fast and I sped up to NYC as fast as I can to work. After 10 days at "Ground Zero" I headed back home after finding out how many people and relatives I know where dead. Now on May 27th, Memorial day, I am happy with my decision to get back in the military. This thread reinforced my beliefs about my decisions. God Bless America and all of my friends at lit. We will defeat these assholes and I am proud to help do it.
 
I also joined after 9-11 so reading this brings back a flood of memories. It is so strange. as i read thru this you could almost hear the panic and fear in the posters. It is quite chilling. But as we remember those fallen on that day it is strange to try to remember a world where there were no daily terrorist warnings, some seem almost out of a B spy film. No war. Hell most of us didn't know anything about the Taliban or Al Quaida. It is almost eerie how vigilant everyone has become. Part of me misses the old times(wow that sounded weird) where you could say hello to oyur neighbor and not wonder if he was a terrorist.

We cannot let

The memories of our heroes and our allies who have died to defend our rights. <hugs>
