Subscriber Elaine1202 Posted September 9, 2009 Subscriber Share Posted September 9, 2009 My friend and I had just returned from taking our babies (then aged 6 months) swimming. We sat speechless & shocked and just hugged our sons as we watchedthe footage on the news. It was very emotional and, as new parents, put the fragility of life into perspective.

Subscriber petermullen Posted September 9, 2009 Subscriber Share Posted September 9, 2009 I had just gotten home from dropping my daughter off at her 1st day of kindergarten in upstate NY. I remember how beautiful the weather was that day. Crystalclear blue....you could pierce the moon with that sky. Usually my wife and I didn't put the TV on in the morning, but for some reason we did that morning.We had on Regis Philbin. Then a special report came on about a plane hitting the tower. They thought at 1st it was a small plane, an accident...because at 1stglance , as big as those mothers were, it didn't look like a jumbo jet hit it. But then they started getting close-ups, and the smoke and flames reallystarted pouring out...and it was becoming evident, with eyewitness accounts coming in, that this had been a commercial jet liner. That's when the chillsstarting setting in. Then the second plane hit a while later. We couldn't stop watching, of course. And then...the fuc*king unthinkable happened. One of the towers came down ina huge heap. It was absolutely surreal. I watched those things go up over several years...and to think that one of them could collapse like that was justunimaginable. The 1st thing I thought...Jesus, there had to be a shitload of firemen in that building at that point. It was just Fuc*king TERRIBLE. 15 minuteslater the second one came down. Numbness. My mom called right after that...she lives on long island...she was crying........so scared. My best friend's father had a brother and father who worked in one of the towers, and i wasn't sure if they still did...turns out they didn't anymore. My nephew's wife lost her cousin, a NYC firefighter. That day is something that should never be forgotten. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
illumination70 Posted September 9, 2009 Author Share Posted September 9, 2009 I was in shock when the South Tower (where I studied fashion) collapsed. The irony is when I took the picture (the one displayed), one of the instructorstold me and the other students to to save our film because the WTC would always be there.
