Did you really have to ask??

I didn't find out the details of the day's events until after 11am. I was at college in my first class, and the teacher came in and said "I'm sure you've all heard about the planes by now. Let's just wait and see what unfolds, and concentrate on class." I had no idea what was going on. My second class of the day was the same, but I ended up asking what was going on. It didn't really hit me until I went to the library after that class and sat on msnbc.com until I couldn't take it any more.

I had to spend the rest of the day at school, until after 9pm (night class). I went home and just, well, lost it. That was the worst day ever.

Right now, I simply want to grab my girlfriend and go home and lay in bed next to her, and hold her all day long.

Exactly why hasn't Ethugg been banned?

One year or 50 years, this is one of those things that I will never forget and I don't think America will ether.

This was a sad day for me as it was for alot of people, luckly no one I knew died but for some people they weren't as lucky and even though I don't know them I feel for them to have died in such a senseless act of violence

I remember that day vividly. I was in my creative writing class when we found out the Pentagon was attacked (I'm in the DC area by the way) and a few of my classmates asked to call their parents to see if they were ok. We had no idea the World Trade Center towers were attacked, and we were all nutty just from this info. That day, we all just talked amongst ourselves. Everyone broke into a political discussion, and we all wrote about our thoughts, then shared them. In my next class, we turned on the radio and heard that the World Trade Center had been attacked as well. All of us were silent. We all heard that two planes had hit the towers... None of us could even speak. We all just stood there with blank faces. I remember seeing my girlfriend the next day and asking her if everything was alright, since her stepdad worked in DC, just like my mother did. Turns out that everything was fine for her, and me, but one of our friends wasn't so lucky. He lost three friends in the attacks. We all just kinda walked around for a bit talked about our feelings on the attacks. We did this for what seemed like an eternity, it turned out to have only been 20 mins.

We've all been wondering that at one time or another. But let's not worry about some attention-needing person today, there are much better things to think about.
