Fireman31 Posted September 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 I was in my first semester of college, I had just parked my car and was listening to Howard Stern, Crazy Cabbie had called in and said that a plane had just flown into the WTC, I figured that it was a small Cessna or something, and went to class. I came out 1-1/2 hours later and one of the towers was already down........the college was closing early and sending everyone home. I called my dad at work in a panic and asked him what the hell was going on. His words to me were "We're under attack......just go home and stay there." I raced home, turned on the news and saw the carnage. It looked like hell on earth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SSThunder Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 I'll never forget the day. After the first plane hit, my work had the TV on watching the news report on live TV. A couple mins later we watched in disbelief as the 2nd plane hit. God bless our troops and this great nation and also all the men and women who lost their lives that day and those who tried to save them. We will never forget Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

00silverad0 Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 (edited) When we were in Fire Academy, one of our training chiefs was retired FDNY and another instructor was retired FDNY. They had MANY of stories and actually one of our training LT's was in NYC and went back to his station then went out with the truck. This guy was 60+ and beat to shit physically from the fire service after 30 years of doing his job that he loved. After 9/11 he started selling 9/11 memorial shirts out of his truck and gives back a percentage of his sales to FDNY memorial and FDNY supports. On another note, I've been watching the news all day today and it reminds me of one of the resons I joined the fire service. Something that really chapped my ass today was when they interviewed some stupid unpatriotic psychologist who says that America may be taking the whole 9/11 rememberance too far! If I was within distance of anyone who even MENTIONED the slightest thing about this being TOO MUCH, you can bet there would be some punches thrown. I'm so sick of these people who do nothing for our country but live here under a blanket of protection offered by our American soldiers, Firefighters, Police Officers and other members then have the balls to say something like this.

My best friend went to NYS Fire Academy with him, I only met Andy once but he was a great guy and one of the bravest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2006_superado Posted September 12, 2007 Report Share Posted September 12, 2007 i still can't help but cry when i see the movie about united flight 93. i remember waking up that morning in disbelief, and it still not hitting me until hours later... if any of you remember the superbowl in 2002 when they did the memorial with all the name's of the people who died that horrible day, watching the list of names scroll down really made me cry it seemed like the list would never end... my thoughts and prayer's go out to all those affected.
