Anyone watching the rebroadcast of the 9/11 coverage on msnbc?
I never got to see any coverage of it because of school on the day it happened. Kind of chilling. Just the chaos is insane. The report of a car bomb at the state department kind of surprised me. And yet osama gets to still live and release his stupid videos. Feelings, memories, where you were... feel free to share. -------------------- |

I was a senior in high school.
Our school had a television above the library entrance that played showed the news and such and I had to pass it everyday on my way to class (first period off). As I walked by, I heard the newscasters say "this is unbelievable", turned around and saw the first tower on fire. I stood there, amazed at what I was seeing. They continued to explain the situation and more students started coming in to make it to their classes. We didn't speak, just stared. Everyone went to class and our teacher turned on the television so that we could watch the coverage. They were showing footage of people getting out of the tower and running. Then, as they panned back to their live shot the second plane hit and gasps filled the classroom. I don't think anyone was prepared to see that or expecting it. As far as we knew, the first tower was hit as an accident. The rest of the day was highly unproductive at school as all of the teachers let us watch the coverage. We watched the towers collapse, the citizens run, and the Pentagon coverage the entire day. A friend of mine in sixth period tried frantically to get in touch with her uncle who was in the WTC on business. We later learned he died in the south tower. The only way to describe what I thought that day was a feeling of surrealism. I couldn't believe my eyes but I couldn't look away. -------------------- "There is a level of cowardice lower than that of the conformist: that of the fashionable non-conformist." |
