I was in middle school and every day for history we would turn on the tv and as a warm up we had to write about a current event that was mentioned throughout the news, it was first period and I remember as every glanced at the news seeing that it said "live" and how we just saw everything and could not do nothing about it! It was very sad everyone was in shock and there were a couple in my class who where upset because their family members worked there and even one who's father worked there. It is indeed a very sad event and the fact that the damage was so great that a lot of families suffered for the loss of many loved ones and how one watched as they had no choice but to either jump or to burn alive it was a devastating event and for the people who were witness or affected even greater.

Yet another sad anniversary. Different people commemorate this day in different ways. I remember receiving a breaking news alert from the BBC that a plane had just crashed airborne in the US. I was pretty busy on my company's server that afternoon. It was around 3.30pm when the first alert came. I read the mail and followed the link up to the BBC website, read a paragraph and closed the Internet Explorer window. Later, another alert came, looked at it. Then I got curious. I called my wife and told her about the two plane crashes. It was so sad to learn later that the planes had actually been hi-jacked. I remember my daughter calling me from home to tell me what they were seeing on satellite news networks, mainly BBC and CNN. I spent my whole evening watching tv, following up the events as they unfolded. I felt so sad that humans could be so callous to fellow humans, especially defenceless passengers. And, more sadly, abusing a peaceful religion to advance political causes.

I still remember September 11. I was watching TV when got breaking news report it. The most I remember is the plane crashing to WTC. I thought the world is going to World War something like that, when I saw it.

I remember that date very clearly. One of my close friends called me, woke me up at around 10am Central time in Canada and asked me if I had heard the news. I was quite groggy and just listened to her go on about how the trade center was hit by a plane. She told me to turn on the television and just take a look. The only thing was that I couldn't because I was to get my cable hooked up that day. I switched on the radio and that's all I heard all day. When the cable guy came and hooked up my cable I finally understood what the whole panic was about.. I just couldn't believe my eyes and for days after that wow I realized how bad it really was. I also remember that day to a tee because my best friend told me that doctors found cancer cells and that was also devistating to me.

Hi buddy I very well remember the same and shall await to distribute sweets on the occasion of the same not for paying homage towards those innocent people who were the victims of the same.But to felicitate the deserving of the United States .I don't consider the act to be of any heinous one rather to that united states has done so far in Afghanistan and Iraq and daily torment that it is causing to Palestine through the Israels. I very heart fully think that it has received what it deserved. It was a movement of shock filled with Happiness for me.I would and shall with rather previlage enjoy for those martyrs and for the loss that incurred to the United states of the same.Thanks a lot

American flag - I copied a picture of the American flag.
I definitely remember that day. I had started a new job that day at a supermarket that I no longer work at. But anyway I just remember people talking about buildings in New York exploding or something and then got the details later on the news. I remember one of the first things I thought of was that I was scared that there were going to be more airplane attacks on our soil. Horrible thing!
