<![CDATA[September 11]]>I was a freshman in high school in fourth period math class. I remember when someone told me that a plane hit the WTC that I thought "how could someone screw up that bad?" When someone else told me a couple minutes later that the other building was hit, I knew it no accident. The rest of that day is still vivid in my mind. God bless the brave 343 firefighters and over 100 cops who gave there lives that day. Prayers with the families of those who didn't make it out.

God bless any firefighter, cop or serviceman who serves this great nation. You are all heroes.

Not many people give the passengers of the plane that crashed in Pennsylvania the credit they deserve. To sacrifice your own lives and cause the plane to crash when there is no question you will die in order to save the lives of countless others is the ultimate act of bravery. The innocents on flight 81 are certainly wearing halos right now.

at that point you have to make that move, you know you are already dead anyways, why not give it a chance? too bad they couldn't have pulled it off cuz it would have been another big FU to all those who plotted and carried out the attacks.

chuck norris, steaven segal or liam neeson.....fucking up terrorist plane hijackers on a daily basis.

As I was heading in to clock-out I was told about a plane that crashed. On my way to next ojb Tower 2 was hit.

My wife woke me up and told me what happened, and in my drowsiness l though "ok, a cesna or something, no big deal" and went back to sleep.

She promptly alerted me when the 2nd hit. That got my ass outta bed and we spent the rest of the day watching the news and wondering why.

When the 2nd tower was hit, our phone lines lit up big time (berea, Oh).

The whole area's safety forces were obviously put on alert. Of particular concern here in Cuyahoga County was the Hopkins Airport, about 2 miles away.

It was easily the strangest day at my fire station ever. We are trained to prepare for any emergency, but it seemed we were just waiting for the worst all day.

It was that Flight 93 that made its turn right over NEOhio before crashing into the PA field. Its movements were discovered by the radar out of Hopkins. You can go to Shanksville PA to see the National Memorial.

And FYI, the "Memorial" in NYC is not a national memorial....but a private one for which you have to pay beaucoups bucks to see, as I understand.

Thanks Gipper,I had it confused.. it's been that long Id forgotten it was a field...

It is tall, but not as distinctive as it should be. And it is a big cheat to have that spire on top just so they can say that it is 1776 feet tall. It is silly to me to count spires in the height of the building. The height should be measured to the highest occupiable floor.

I was sitting stunned at my Mother's kitchen table in Parma waiting for her to get ready for a planned road trip to Chicago (had Cubs tickets for the 12th). I was watching ABC's coverage headed by Peter Jennings.

When the 1st tower collapsed upon itself, Peter started to talk about the eruption of smoke. Then he started speculating on the cause of the smoke and it was clear he did not see the top floors collapse.

I yelled at the TV, "It's gone, Peter! It's fucking gone!"

I remember all the people I was in there with as well. While we had business to conclude, we did cut it short. I remember driving back to my office and listening to Greg Brinda on the radio basically call a play by play of the building collapse.

They were set to strike fear and divide us as a group of citizens. Instead, on that day and moving forward we showed the exact opposite. We united and, as a country and the world at large, grew.
