ur first thoughts

What were ur first thoughts when you first saw the news on wtc?
me-"where's WTC at again?"

i remember i was sitting down at the beginning of my 3rd period science class...... and i thought it was sum sorta accident and didnt really care cuz the teacher didnt seem all that sad or depressed.......

but then i realized it was terroists and i was scared....

I didn't even know what the WTC was. O.o The radio woke me up with the news.

I remember waking up and going "Oh @#%$, I live 40 miles away from there, if they nuke I'm screwed"... Than I thought, "My god, there are tens of thousands of people there"  It took about 30 minutes before I realized it wasn't a movie, and that's when I panicked, because I live on Long Island..

hey, i'm new to this..

i was in school when it happened. we weren't so close that we were in danger, but we were close enough to see it well. and close enough to hear the rumbling when the towers collapsed.. -.- but we were in brooklyn, not in manhattan.. i did worry about my parents since they work in manhattan, and my friends who go to school in manhattan.

basically.. i was in a state of confusion, shock and denial the whole day. i couldn't even cry. i finally did cry when i got home and my brother hugged me and said "we were so worried about you".. i've been wanting to cry that whole day, but for some reason, i just couldn't. it was like my emotions were all bottled up, and all i could show was confusion, shock and denial. and when my brother said he (and my relatives who were on the phone) was worried, something about that finally made some of my emotions to come out. same thing when i went online and my friends all IMed me asking if i was okay.. and when my mom finally arrived home after walking a really long way from work.. worse than my dad.. and when i found out that my aunt worked in one of the smaller wtc buildings, but she had taken a day off from work on that day.. and my uncle who worked in that same building was safe.. basically all my emotions finally came out when i got home..

agh, sorry for rambling. once i start talking about 9-11, it's hard for me to stop. plus, lately i've been getting flashbacks of that day for some reason.. i think it's the fact that the one-year anniversary is coming up..

anyway, byee..

oh, my first thoughts! sorry..

um well, first it was "huh?" then "what the heck is going on?" ..then when i learned a plane crashed into the wtc, i thought it wasn't so serious. i thought it was just an accident and not too many people would die. then when i found out it was actually 2 planes, i thought "we're being attacked.. and my parents are in manhattan.. and i don't know what exactly is going on.." i kept telling myself to wake up.. i kept thinking i was in a really horrible nightmare.. at one point i thought i was gonna die on that day.. then i remembered a prayer my grandfather taught my mom.. and she taught it to me.. so i started praying that same prayer..

i wake up pretty early for school like 6:30am and so i was 75% asleep...my carpool comes and her dad always listens to some crazy radio station...at first i thought they were just telling radio stories...so it was pretty detailed but then...as i listened some more....i was all these people are pretty sick talking about the towers being destroyed.....my friend told me that they really were going down...and i wasll "don't give me that!" then i get to my class and i really do see them going down...but since i really wasn't in the right mind i thought it was TLC "how to tear down buildings" So i said cool....and the girl next to me was looking at me crying......then my friend tells me "this is real..." and i couldn't believe it.... i'm in cali so it was real early for us here.... I still can't believe it happened...but yeah USA USA :cool:
