I’m here in NYC for the weekend. Its wild
Apparently there is a threat of terrorist attacks for sunday…#notahugesurprise
Oh there are always threats of terrorist attacks. If they keep us scared we’re easier to influence and control.
It’s up to you to decide who “they” are in that last sentence…
Don’t make me use that word that gets this sent to Politisuck. lol
“wake up people” is three words, or did you mean “sheeple”?
I was in my fresman engineering chemistry class at UB…by the time class was let out the 2 Towers had been hit and so had the pentagon…watched for a good hour at Capen and then they cancelled classes for the rest of the day
One of the better tribute videos. Not that I’ll ever need reminding of what that 2nd plane hitting the towers looked like. I was watching it live on the TV one of the guys kept in his office at work. He called me over saying something was going on at WTC and that a plane might have hit it and we watched the 2nd one hit live. One of those things you’ll just never un-see.
Take A MOMENT to remember, appreciate how fragile life is and then move on for a bit. People and news are re-hashing this over and over. They are causing people to feel pain and IMO this amounts to terrorism itself. I won’t go into the loss of liberties etc… but I’m on the same pages as a few posters in here. /tinfoil
I was on Ft Hood, locked and loaded, live rounds, tanks active around the perimeter at and at all entry points. 24 hour ops, armed guards and triple strand around barracks, water towers, sub stations, and we were on lock down for days afterwards as we were considered soft targets. Slept in the motorpool for 4 months, supporting deploying units, refueling active track vehicles, and loading rail cars with vehicles bound for boats. The unit I tried to volunteer to deploy with to Kuwait 6 months earlier, came back from rotation, didn’t even unpack and was remobilized in hours for another 18 months.
I was at my apt in Getzville. I was a late sleeper, but woke when my roommate woke me informing me someone crashed a jetliner into the first tower.
I tried calling my sister who worked in Manhattan to see if she knew what the hell was going on. Fast busy signal. My cousin called me from Mt. Sinai Hospital where he was finishing up his fellows. He said he got a hold of my sister and my other cousin were ok, but shit was hitting the fan. Every hospital was on full security alert, NYPD and SWAT positioned at ever entrance. Armed transports for every ambulance that went out. The emergency room was getting transfers from every other hospital that was closer to the scene.
My sister called me from her cell phone after she actually got in a cab with 3 other people paying some cabbie 300 bucks to get the fuck out of NYC. She didn’t know exactly the extent as to what was going on, but she just knew she needed to get the fuck out. I didn’t know what to think.
Many of my friends lost loved ones that day. Drove home that weekend and had a lot of time to think about everything. Bridges were still on full lockdown, everyone still in complete disbelief that something this fucked up just happened.
As a person that lived close…it was devastating. I don’t like talking about it… I took a few moments to myself to remember what happened.
i was in 6th grade. we had the news on before morning announcements everyday so we were watching the news to begin with. i watched everything happen live, all day. we didn’t even switch classes i don’t think. we literally sat there in silence the whole entire day and watched everything, as 10 year olds.
im having a hard time emotionally even thinking about it.
Changed my life for sure
