Oral history of the last guy out of WTC 1... Many more stories here: http://graphics8.nytimes.com/packag...12_WTC_GRAPHIC/met_WTC_histories_full_01.html
Will never forget watching CNN. My wife had called from work and said a plane had hit the trade center, so I turn on the 24 hour news channel and was watching the coverage, thinking it was some kind of accident. No one thought the ultimate ending would be so horrific. So I'm watching and the second jet hits. Instantly, you realized everything happening was on purpose and that it was an attack. Spent the rest of the day (and night) watching events unfold in disbelief. How we could have created a world at once capable of so much beauty and, at the same time, so much madness will forever remain a mystery to me. What a ****ed up species we are..
So you had to get that out in THIS thread, at THIS time?? Real classy. I have a feeling that this is going to be one of those days in history that will get more and more exposure the farther we get from it. Right now, we're in that period where people are just now starting to get OVER the whole ordeal, so the memorials and such are kind of low key. But I feel like once OUR generation has children, and we start to retell the story to them, there will be a lot of events planned around it. That's my opinion, anyways.
Since this is the D&D version of the thread, I can safely talk about how flipping pissed off I am that 8 years later all we have is a hole in the ground still. We could have rebuilt the towers by now with an awe inspiring memorial to boot 3 times over if we didn't have a bunch of politically corrupt dipwads running the LMDC.
Yeah, that moment right there really justified taking away personal freedoms and starting a senseless war that's killed hundreds of thousands+ over something less likely to kill you than a lightning strike. Go USA!
Either Atta caught lightning in a bottle or the war was started b/c of a shark attack can't figure out which one?
Sorry you lost your job Van. Heard that Acorn just fired someone in their DC office, maybe you should try putting in an application there.
But then we'd have a bunch of completely empty, very expensive taxpayer funded office space down in lower manhattan. Just turn the whole thing into a park/memorial or some sort of public space is my current view.
