I was getting ready to watch the First Episode of Transformers Armada on the WB.

I got off work like 30 minutes before hand.

Then my friend told me about so hoax he was reading on-line about the WTC getting hit with planes.

So we changed the channel and saw the hoax on like CBS...And was like wow..this channel lost all sense of taste...Then went to NBC...CNN...And Fox News...Then realized it wasn't a hoax...Then kinda freaked out.

I was in 10th grade and it was my first hour french class when the media center director Mr. Lee busted into my classroom all out of breath and said really loudly that America was under attack and turned on our TV. It was so surreal that morning, almost like it wasn't real but it was at the same time. All of my classes that day were just watching the news and no one said anything. It was just so awful... Sky was in that class with me if I remember right.

I have talked to Al Qieda operatives. Their goal isn't to take over America at all. It is to destroy America. Much the same way Hitler had his citezens convinced that the Jews were responsible for the woes of their socioty Al Qieda and other extremist groups of the type are convinced that the U.S. and the U.K. are responsible for the troubles and problems in their lands.

This thread has gotten off topic, though. I don't like discussing politics because no matter how hard you try not to, you'll always manage to strike a chord with someone. Whatever you're view on the reasons or results, the facts remain the same. It was a devistating loss for the world as a whole. That being said I will end my posting on this thread right here.

I had an early morning Psychology class, at University of Houston. I remember the day pretty well. The class had been going on for about 10 minutes, and litterally about 20 cellphones went off at once in the class. keep in mind this was a class of about 150. No one bothered answering them, for obvious reasons until the Professors cell phone went off, and she read answered it, then dismissed the class with absolutly no explanation. It was freaky.

As I was walking back to my dorm my I was passing people talking on their cellphones talking about a plane hitting the World Trade Center in NYC. I picked up the pace, back to my dorm and heard quite a few more people talking about it on the way. I walked into my room and my roomate already had the news on. And about 30 seconds after I walked in I got the live shot of the second plane hitting the other tower.

Of course my mother had called like 8 times already wanting to know if I was okay.... I remember my responce being "they arent going to fly planes into the Moody Towers Mom, I think I'll live" (the moody toweres was the name of my dorms. 2 20 story dorm buildings, a north and a south one) Shortly there after it was announced that classes would be canceled for the rest of the day, and if I remember correctly the next 2 days were canceled as well. We, along with the majority of america spent the next 10 hourse glued to the TV.

I was sitting on the big lab table in my 7th grade Target Science class. The Spanish teacher across the hall came over to our classroom and quietly told our teacher to turn on the TV. She did, and we just sat and watched. I remember I was kind of confused about what was going on.

Later, the principal came on the announcements and just told the teachers they were not allowed to turn on their tvs or the radio....

9th grade english,
I was waearing an uncomfortable blue, polo shirt and a comfortable but old pair of jeans.
I saw the news and was filled with shock, awe, disillusionment, and rage.
It was one of the few days in my life that if i could have killed someone i thought was responsible i probably would have and thought about the consequences later.
I thought baout lying about my age and joining the army, but i realized i couldn't do that both because i didn't look 18 (i still don't

) and because i couldn't put my mom through that.
So i sat,
Fuming and muttering angrily under my breath to try and let the steam out of the pressure cooker slowly.
That, at least, worked.
I will *never* forget that day.
I will *never* forget what i felt.

Having dinner with some friends and found out when I got back from my dad, watched the news and called my bos cos her husband was the High Commisioner, Malaysian External Trade Development Corporation (MATRADE), which his office was at the WTC. He's lucky cos he was not at the office at the time as he was sending one of the children to school.

I'm a muslim but I condemned all the terrorists acts, they hide behind the religion, our religion don't teach us such cruelty, its very sad. I'm also pissed because of these my application to get visa to the States were denied 2 years ago.

I'm with you on this one Riva. It's hard to believe that there is a whole new breed of racism brewing b/c of this...

Actually... it's not hard to believe. That's what's so sad.

What really kills me is that these Terrorists actually THINK they are doing the right thing! And because of their actions, they are not only condemming themselves, but other Muslims like Skylah.

Taht's pretty crappy Skylah and I'm sorry that happened to you.
