Well, occasionally it seems to.
I was at work on an Army post. My wife called advising I get to a TV set. Five minutes after watching, the 2nd jet hit. When the plane hit the Pentagon, the post went on FPCON CHARLIE.
Watched it Live on Fox News when it happened, then went to work and watched the rest
Wish I knew. I wasn’t a FReeper at the time, but I’ll have to read the thread and find out. :)
Hey, with this “herd”, they’re rarely innocent. LOL! But they were that morning.
They were all antsy before I went to bed and that’s why I thought there was a big fight when Hubby woke me up. They must have sensed that same uneasy feeling I did. It was a bad vibe in the air. That’s the best way I can describe it.
I went to bed about the time the terrorist thugs were boarding their planes.
Hubby didn’t know anything about it until after the second tower was hit. He was out at the garage working on a car when they finally mentioned it on the radio, then he came in to turn on the TV. That’s when he woke me up.
I was reading the morning paper before getting ready for work.
Forget? I don’t see how that is possible...EVER!
“Remember the day...the day no planes flew.”
I was still in bed and my wife told me. I thought a small plane and rolled over. She came in a bit later and made me get up. It was my birthday.
I just thought the worst. Tens of thousands of people dead. The financial system crippled. It is amazing to me that the death toll wasn’t 10 to 20 times more than what it was. I told our kids “This changes everything.” I’m glad that I was wrong. Although I wish it would have changed the muslim threat - that continues to go on unchecked.
I remember every night for a week(?) going outside to listen to the prop airplane way up high as it flew south to north along the west coast until Canada I presume. A couple of hours later I would go outside and listen as it headed south again.
And another clear-blue sky afternoon at the welcome back to grade-school family picnic. Everyone was trying their best to act normal.
Then a little girl with a shout (of surprise - not of fear) “There’s an airplane!!” and everyone turned to watch it. I thought that was pretty amazing how much attention an airplane in the sky got.
It was such a chilling moment...especially for military personnel I would imagine.
I was living on the other side of town, but I was right here on Free Republic.
I don’t either, but there are kids in school right now who weren’t even born and if their parents don’t tell them and show them the TV footage, then it will be lost. Because, schools don’t teach American history much any more. Sadly.
I was at home, about to go food shopping at NAS Oceana. My wife called from the Navy’s Intel School at Dam Neck and said, “Turn on the tv”. I saw the second plane hit.
The Call, that was a good band.
I was completely oblivious to it till I saw the 2nd plane. Two could NOT be a coincidence.
I’m glad your hubby heard something, or you would have slept through the whole thing.
Wow. Imagine if they profiled like that today. All liberal hell would break loose!
I was at an airfield in tx, they shut down the whole sky for 2 weeks but 2 planes took off from the field, Bin Ladens brother and Saudi bastage.
Yes they were.
I was carpooling teens to an early morning religious class, about 6:15 Pacific time). One of the kids came out to the car and said an airplane had just crashed into a skyscraper in NYC. I figured it was probably a wayward small plane. Got home and flipped on the tv in time to see the towers collapse. Was glued to the home tv and then work tv for hours.
I remember being struck how idiotic it was for women to wear the stylish shoes at the time: high spiked heels with miniscule straps. I watched some of them tottering along the streets and bridges and wondered how many lost their lives because of their shoes.
Was just going out the door, headed to work, when the first plane hit (central time zone). Got to work & as I stopped in the cafeteria, the second plane hit. Then the Pentagon. When the forth plane disappeared, I knew instinctively that the passengers had succeeded in stopping the terrorists.
Sometime later, I learned that a co-worker was at a meeting in a hotel near the Pentagon. He described the experience as the airplane flying in the street in front of the hotel on its way to the Pentagon.
We did an electrical study in the Pentagon at the time of Y2K during the first phase of the reconstruction. I suspect, but am not real sure, that the area we were working in was damaged.
