[THECHICKEN]

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.

hmm, I feel like I say this yearly, but I guess here it goes again. I was coming out of physics discussion waiting for the bus at the bursley-baits bus stop. Someone walks past me saying the Empire State building had just collapsed. I turned to the person next to me and said, what does he mean collapsed, and the person next to me said (rather nonchalantly) that it's true. So I got back to my dorm a little past 10. We didn't have a TV in my room, so I was going to check out the coverage in the commons room. Before I left, I left an extensive note on one of those white boards that was on my door for my roommate saying that something important is happening, I'm in the commons room watching TV. While I was writing this, someone who's friends with the people who lived across from us came to tell her to turn on the TV. She hasn't left her room that morning or watched the TV so she had no idea what was going on. So we sat there in her room kinda in shock watching it. My roommate shows up sometimes around noon, somehow had no idea what was going on when I asked her if she seen the news. And then we just sat there and watched some more. I don't remember if we ate lunch that day. I just remembered that class was canceled for the rest of the afternoon, I was on my way to history when several people told me. I think I went up to some of my guy friends room to watch. I remember one of them was from NYC, and his parents owned a restaurant not too far from the world trade center, he had hellva time getting a hold of them. The phone was jammed for hours. I think he finally got through sometimes around 4.

The girl across the hall later enlisted. I'm not sure what happened to her. Though, I do remember weeks, perhaps months after 9/11, everyone cheered when they saw a bunch of ROTC guys walking around.
