Born Hunter 17,763 Posted September 11, 2013 Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 f**k me, I had honestly forgotten. Well remembered. I dare say 12 years ago today was a defining moment in world history, an event from which the effects will probably be seen for many decades yet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lab 10,979 Posted September 11, 2013 Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 Time certainly flies. Still the most amazing thing i have ever watched on the tv. At the time my jaw dropped watching it and it wasnt till later on did i start to think about the thousands of people who lost there lives that day. Since then i have watched hours upon hours of 9/11 stuff and it always surprises me with the stuff they show. I still cant get my head around the people who were sitting in the towers level with the plane hitting.......i just cant imagine the feeling they had sitting by the window and watching the plane get closer and closer....the feeling of helplessness when it was imminent that death was seconds away. RIP 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Astral 253 Posted September 11, 2013 Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 Wow 12 years ago, I remember I was home sick from school and watching TV on my own waiting for mum to get back from shopping. Then all the channels started broadcasting the live images and I thought it was the start of world war three. RIP all those souls lost, and all those brave souls lost trying to rescue them.

moonlighter 1,163 Posted September 11, 2013 Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 That's a great pic, but if I knew it was gonna be on here I would have done that trick where it looks like your pinching in between your thumb and finger! (Like people do with the sun etc). Hopefully his camera didn't get too dusty in the following few hours. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RIP out of those that died, the ones you describe were probably the luckiest, if you could use that word, at least the ones in the first building were anyway. Those planes shift at a few hundred miles per hour and I'd suggest most of them wouldn't have seen it coming. Its the ones above where the planes hit that probably suffered the most. That feeling of being trapped there unable to get down.. I worked in a factory making plane seats at the time, I lost my job a month after 9/11 as an indirect result of airlines cancelling new orders for planes in the immediate aftermath when demand for air travel plummeted. Weren't ideal because me and the other half were expecting our first child. Suppose I'm lucky compared to some folk, they lost a lot more than me.. RIP. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Remember watching a documentary that showed footage of the people jumping from the buildings Showed just how desperate they must have been, I would take my chances with the flames I think. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
