we should just send Krome into Iraq to overthrow and kill Saddam

Odd Feelign indeed that day, I am in Philly and the comapny I worked for at that time had a NYC office near the towers.

I worked mostly at the Horsham PA (outside philly) offices in sales and travelled to NYC quite often...

well, in the truck on the way in, plane 1 hits. I remembered a story my grandfather told me of back in the 40's an airforce bomber hit the empire state building in a bad storm, I figured it was a cessna or something little, then plane 2 hits, my father is a huge spy novel - movie buff, so I am like, this is real thing man, this isnt accidents.

Well, I get to my office, which was located across from the Willow Grove Naval base (fighter jets all over the place, etc). There was an airshow a few days before the attack so there were many many millitary aircraft there chillin on the tarmac. I am looking out the windows at this as the pentegon is hit. Me and my Manager are like, we have to get the fuck outta here, too many planes across the street man...

As I am headin home, my parents are frantically calling the house, they think that I am NYC. There are no phone lines available, nothing, internet is swapmed, no cell phone, nothing. My parents reach me a few hours later, They were hysterical, They had no idea I was sitting in my house 10 minutes away.

I knew a few people that lost friends, family, etc. It really was a shame that all those innocent people lost their lives as well as the familles that were affected afterwards, I hope that this never happens again to anyone anywhere. Life is too short to be mad at each other. Enjoy it while it is here, you only go around once.

I was watching my then 2 year old daughter that day while the girlfriend was at a college... I was sleeping late, so I slept through everything - until I was woken up by F-16 flying right over the house in Yonkers NY. I had a dream about my gf leaving a message about McDonalds Big Macs... but I woke up and played a message on the machine, "Americas under attack". I didnt even turn the TV on, I just called her up and she told me everything. WTC ARE GONE she said. Thats some bullshit, REAL bullshit - but when I turned on the TV, I was even more dumbfounded.

Now is the time for a new paragraph. Better yet, Im gonna end this post. Nothing else to say except that day, and the next 3 months after, was very bleak and depressing, wondering when my family and I will die from some fucksnots's nuke bomb or some shit. After 9/11, it seemed that craziest is possible, as anything is, and it made looking towards the future hard.

Damn ibjem2! I could only imagine!

Triple 6 and other newyork-ers, amazing what you guys went through. Like waking up to a bad dream.

Am I gunna meet all you guys when i come to NY in 3 weeks at this Nina webmaster party?

yes..
it was like yesterday
the Sept 11th.. the day of the biggest heart attack of NY-Usa
i hope they're all rest in peace...

Man BoneProne..

I don't know what the fuck I would do if I was out of the country when the shit hit the fan..

I just read the 9/11 post and relived those same emotions all over again.. Total and utter shock.. I have never been so damn scared in my life.. I a bit numb now..


The thing I don't get it is.. we still had signups on 9/11 and the rest of the week.. and the MBZ dealer had sold more cars on 9/11 and 9/12 than usual..


now what? :glugglug :glugglug

Unreal this was 10 years ago. Really seems like yesterday. And getting all my updates from home here from gfy. Unreal.
:2 cents:

Italy has radio, too. They are faster than the internet. Even in English.

I was waiting for someone to post the "I remember like it was yesterday bla bla bla" but I guess a *bump* is just as good.
