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.

Well since i started it i guess i'll say where i was.

Basically i was coming out of my first class at high-school (seems like junior year but im not sure) when someone came up to a group of us and was like "a plane just hit the world trade center." I remember jokingly saying to the group something to the effect of a "small plane with an idiot pilot ran into the wtc... how stupid" or something that effect; i still regret to this day saying whatever i did say.

Our principle REFUSED to let anyone watch the news or get it any other way (except allowed to go home with parents) so NO ONE knew anything the entire day except what he told us over the intercom -(the world trade centers were hit and a lot of people were dead, keep them in our prayers). I heard there was like 7 planes and the capital, white house, wtc, and pentagon had all been hit, and there was more planes still flying around and unaccounted for.

After school (still not knowing anything specific) i had to go to football practice and then after that i had college classes. So the first time i seen any news was that night at the college class. I still remember laying on the couch at home for what seemed like forever just watching all the coverage. It seems like i watched the news constantly for like 4 years after because of a fear of something happening again and not knowing what was going on.
