World Trade Center-Plane Crash

Amazing thread to re-surrect on the anniversary of the HORRIBLE EVENT....i didn't even have a pc when 9/11 happened.... Its has been strangley nice to read though this, to read peoples reactions to the events as they unfolded so to speak...
 
Its reassuring to know the REAL poeple of the world, the working classes, apperently 115 different countries had people die in the World Trade Centre......and mostly all Countries condem this kind of Terrorism..surley there is hope for us all...and good will win in the end

By the way I know there are a lot of U.S citizens on this site...please except a handshake and a hug from a Englishman on your sad day
 
I didn't belong to lit

on 9-11-01. I wasn't even aware there was a literotica but after reading this thread thru I wish I had, it would have been a great comfort.

I recall that morning with horrible clarity. I had just seen my oldest off to school and I had come home and started playing with my then almost 2 yr old before we got her into daycare for the day. We were sitting in my living room watching Blues Clues and when the show went to a commercial break I switched over to NBC to see what the weather was looking like for the rest of the day, that was when I saw it. They were re-playing the first plane flying into the tower. I sat there stunned for a second, not really sure of what I was seeing. I was sick to my stomach but I couldn't turn it off. I was transfixed. About 10 minutes went by and the ring of my phone brought me out of my stunned silence. My mother had called me hysterical, " Oh my god, they're attacking NY."
That whole morning was a nightmare. We couldn't reach any of our family in NY or my cousin who works at the Pentagon. I watched in stupified horror as the towers fell in on themselves and the Manhattan skyline went black with smoke and ash. The whole country went crazy that day. I remember calling my daughters school frantic to find out what I needed to do about her. I picked her up and then got my husband from work. We tired to keep the kids amused all day but we were glued to what was happening as if at any moment the credits would roll on this horror film and we could go back to our lives as if our entire world hadn't suddenly an forever changed.
6 years later I still can't make it thru the day without weeeping and silently wishing the same thing I wished that awful autumn day, "any minute now I will wake up and thie credits will roll and this awful horror movie will be over."
 
Does anyone remember the name of the thread that had a link for a beautiful montage of pictures from that day? The song "Only Time" by Enya played in the background.

It was a very emotional experience to see those images along with that haunting song. I don't recall who started the thread either but I wanted to see it again and don't know how to search for it with so little information.

Anyone?

I just saw it in this thread and watched it. Extremely moving.

I'll never forget how I felt that day and it hasn't lessened any over time. My heart, gratitude and support goes out to all those in our armed forces that have responded to the call of duty. May God be with you and yours. :rose: :rose:
 
Well, it's a damn good thing I bought one of those "never forget" posters they had for sale. Otherwise, that day would've slipped my mind and y'all know how detrimental that would be.

OMG!

It's 912...
 
Wow reading this thread from the beginning..

I'd almost forgotten the uncertainity back then. The not knowing what was going on.
 
I was directed to LIT about a month after the 9/11 attacks in 2001 to read some porn to get my mind off the overwhelming grief I experienced that day.

Wound up in LIT chat, and, amazingly, met the 'Man I was to fall in love with in the process. :cool:

I lived less than a mile away from the World Trade Center. The evening before, two friends and I went "downtown" for late night bowling. When we were ready to head home, we stood and looked at the beautiful view of both towers that were looming ahead of us on such a crisp, clear evening. :rose:

I woke up the next morning hearing my phone endlessly ringing. By the time I put on the tv, both planes had struck. I then looked out on 8th Avenue, and saw firetrucks and emergency vehicles heading in the "wrong" direction, and realized that they were heading toward the towers.

In all this chaos, I remember phoning my Mom in Arizona (waking her up) thinking that the Times Square area might be another target for attack.

I still relive the horror, not only of that day, but of the weeks to follow, as my neighborhood tried to come alive again with theatre and people. The silence after the event was deafening, and I still remember the smell and the ash that eventually covered everything in the area. :rose:

Our fire department, two blocks away, lost half their staff. The Port Authority (again, two blocks away in the other direction) lost so many as well.

I will never quite get over this. A piece of me died that day.

I found it helpful to read though these pages as I realize that people all over the country were affected.

We must never forget. :rose:
 
Lest we forget, and the sacrifice be made small.

Institute September 11 as an annual Day of Remembrance. Honor the victims, both on on the ground and in the air, acknowledge their sacrifice, and swear vengeance upon their memories.

If we don't remember, we lose part of what makes us who we are...:(
