KnightswoodBear Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 Why? Do you say September the 11th, or the 11th September when you're talking about dates? I say September the 11th, ergo 9/119/11 is the worldy recognised terminology for the day. 11/9 means f**k all to most folk. Good for you, I say 11th September, who wins?

Mel Hutchwright Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 Despite being fully aware of what had occured through listening to the radio all day, nothing could have prepared me for just how unbelievably shocking the footage was on the news that night.

Musketeer Gripweed Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 Was the first time i'd seen something like that occur. Really? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xbl Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 We were in school when our history teacher came in and told us the news. To be honest, the reaction of our class was generally one of suppressed joy as we didn't realise the full extent of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enigma Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 I was in 1st year. Remember walking into my living room, the TV on and just there being a big blazing tower which I used to put in my sim citys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rugster Posted September 10, 2008 Author Share Posted September 10, 2008 Good for you, I say 11th September, who wins? How about we just talk about the question instead of having a 'who's got the biggest penis' debate? As I would clearly win anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dee4Life1893 Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 I was working for Donaldson Timber Engineering in Buckhaven. It was my 21st birthday. Phonecalls started coming through. My gf called to tell me all about it too. As someone has said already you couldn't picture what was going on until you saw the footage on the news at night. Really put a stop to my birthday celebrations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baggio Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 Came home from a class at Uni, flicked on the telly for my daily fix of Neighbours and Diagnosis Murder - took me a minute to realise they hadn't replaced them with some disaster movie. Then went to Forfar to see Falkirk in the CIS cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musketeer Gripweed Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 It's the fact that the images were so powerful that we all remember it. Hopefully it will never be bettered by the terrorists. It really was a jaw dropping day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gnash Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 I was in my flat in London, having just moved there 3 days before. I was in the kitchen and my girlfriend came in to tell me, with a bemused grin on her face, that a plane had just crashed into one of the twin towers. I watched pretty much the whole thing unfold on tv. I remember really shitting myself when I heard a plane fly over the flat, thinking they may have targetted London as well.

Enigma Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 I think the most dramatic part was seeing the people jumping from the top of the building. Terrible and yet thought proviking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really was a jaw dropping day. Absolutely. I honestly thought there was some disaster movie on tv when I first saw it. I think it took days for it to sink in. Some of the pictures are absolutely iconic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broken Algorithms Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 Really? Within my lifetime anyway. Obviously, i had seen videos of things like nuclear weapons and past wars but i'd always been under the youthful impression that the world was just peachy and that i'd never see thousands of people being killed in an instant.

Stainrod's Fedora Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 I'd recently returned from a holiday in New York. Was working in the pub that afternoon when one of the girls put the TV on. At first I thought it was the trailer for a new disaster film. Within minutes the whole pub was standing round the telly in shocked silence. Have been back to NY a couple of times since. I still find it difficult to get my around the sheer scale of the whole thing. I'll always remember having lunch in the cafe on the 110th floor, just a few weeks before 9/11. Having a good laugh with the waiter who said he'd worked there for years, and always worked the weekday breakfast/lunchtime shift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
