I hope this is the worst tragedy I am alive for.

I was in the hospital waiting rook watching the tv after the first plane hit. I'll never forgot it. It was like a movie.

Oddly enough, when they announced Bin Laden was killed, I saw that in a hospital waiting room as well. My son was born.

Knight, first and foremost, thanks for posting the pictures. I remember being an 8th grade when this incident happened and was sick to my stomach because I knew we had lost many Americans. I personally never met any OSers but I know in my heart this site is filled with fantastic people. I love all you guys because I see you like an extended family.

Of course, no one knows this about me on here but I quit my job with the Quakes because I decided to become an ARMY officer. I felt in my heart that I had a duty to protect this country so I took the plunge and haven't looked back. I haven't gotten the interview yet, but I did well on my ASVAB, got a great GT score and am definitely in physical shape (haven't taken my PT yet). It helps that I have a younger brother who is a marine officer.

Just please be safe guys. I don't want anything to happen to any of us anymore. We can't let those people ruin our way of life and I'm determined to be a part of the solution. God bless you all

Those buildings coming down is like an earthquake. It would (and did) effect other structures around them. There were a lot of buildings with damage, but were lucky enough not to fall.

With the "earthquake" that the collapse caused in addition to damage from falling debris would be more than enough to sever gas lines and feed a fire which would weaken the structural members enough to cause the collapse of WTC 7.


I was a Senior in HS in Oregon...so the planes hit around 6 AM. My mom came into my room and said my dad had just witnessed a plane hit the WTC. I honestly didn't think much of it until I saw the amount of smoke coming out of the buildings.

I was in the shower when my sister pounded on the bathroom door and yelled "THEY HIT THE PENTAGON!!!!"

I was watching it on TV when the towers fell. It was so surreal, sickening....so many emotions I can't put it into words.

My first class was Government...so we just watched coverage on TV. My second class was a writing course and my teacher turned off the TV and said, "we've seen enough of this, we need to get to work." Half the class got up and left.

I spent the rest of the day at a buddy's house watching.

I still don't think, even 10 years later, that I can actually grasp the enormity of the event. Probably never will.
