I don’t know when I ever prayed so hard for so long. Just listening to the tv my eyes shut just praying in response to everything being reported.
It’s not like I consciously said “oh I must pray harder and longer than I ever have now.” I just did it.
Went home and watched TV till the wee hours of the morning. Still seems like yesterday...
About a couple of years later in 2003, I went to see a 3-D documentary on the Titanic (the James Cameron expedition). They were at the wreck site on 9-11-01 when notified by people back in the United States about the tragedy (they showed footage of the crew being told) and I recall reading about how it took the Titanic longer to sink than it did for the Twin Towers to collapse.

My 9/11:
I was home, recovering from a work injury. I had got in the habit of doing internet while watching Fox and Friends, though I hadn’t found FR yet.
I was watching when E.D. Hill said that there was news of a small plane hitting the WTC, and the reportage of this “accident” continued until the second plane went in. I knew, then, and I think so did everyone else. I called my mother, who lives elsewhere in the state, after the second plane to get her to turn on the TV, and we called back and forth a couple of times during the morning.
My sister, who lived in Finland at the time, was visiting our mother; they had just been to visit me, and my sister had brought one of her Finnish friends to try to match up with me (it didn’t take, and she and I are happily wed to others today), and they were back at Mom’s, getting ready to fly back to Finland on the 12th (which obviously didn’t happen...they got out 3 or 4 days later).
This friend was a structural engineer by trade. During either the first or second call, before it happened, she said “those buildings will fall; they cannot stand.” We asked “how will they fall?” Fearing for those caught under them falling like trees. “Probably straight down,” she said. So when it happened we were not terribly surprised, and I was immunized against all of the “deliberate demolition” conspiracy theories before they appeared
I had been reading about the persecution of Christian believers in Islamic countries, and on 9-11 I had been in the basement where I had been inspired by God (I believe) to pray to Him to expose and fight against Islam with the sword of His mouth and every means that He would choose.
When i came upstairs then i heard about a plane crash, the 1st one.
Ok then; we start our OWN memorial!!
The USA changed forever on 09/11/2001, because enemies of our free republic, constitution and liberties, hate us.
We live in an continual State of Emergency.
WH EO 9/10/2018:
Notice Regarding the Continuation of the National Emergency with Respect to Certain Terrorist Attacks | The White House
Notice Regarding the Continuation of the National Emergency with Respect to Certain Terrorist Attacks
NATIONAL SECURITY & DEFENSE
Issued on: September 10, 2018
Consistent with section 202(d) of the National Emergencies Act, 50 U.S.C. 1622(d), I am continuing for 1 year the national emergency previously declared on September 14, 2001, in Proclamation 7463, with respect to the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, and the continuing and immediate threat of further attacks on the United States.
Because the terrorist threat continues, the national emergency declared on September 14, 2001, and the powers and authorities adopted to deal with that emergency must continue in effect beyond September 14, 2018. Therefore, I am continuing in effect for an additional year the national emergency declared on September 14, 2001, in response to certain terrorist attacks.
This notice shall be published in the Federal Register and transmitted to the Congress.
DONALD J. TRUMP
