Baby_Rhino:
Walking from school to my mates house, as she had just been cleared of a megingitus scare. We fogot all the "get well" messages and jokes and glued ourselves to the tv for the rest of the day.

--- Quote from: "att" ---I know where I was, I also knew where I was when the IRA detonated bombs in Manchester and Warrington.
At least we knew what was happening, the Yanks just chose to ignore what was coming through pure arrogance.
9/11 was not that special for me, nor will it ever be.
It is just another messed up episode in a world full of greed and destruction. :roll:
I totally understand where BinLaden is coming from.....I am not too keen on capitalism and I would not want democracy shoved down my throat by greedy westerners....I do not condone his methods, but I undersatnd the reasons behind them.
Try walking a mile in a Muslims shoes in Iraq or Iran or anywhere in the Mid- East....Would you wnat your core beleifs taken from you?
9/11 was necessary, just as all wars are.

Almost 3000 human beings died in that short couple of hours. Americans or not these were people, many of whome were doing a job to save the lives of other. People like you and me. The uk has NEVER suffered a terrorist attck even close to the scale of this. Sure we lived with the IRA for years but theres a huge difference.
I started this post to remeber those who died, not to start a debate on right and wrong.

I was working as a car valeter back then.
We were cleaning a Vauxhall Sintra at the time and one of the salesmen told us to get the radio on.
Then we noticed that the Sintra had 2 tv's in the head rests (customers car) and we all gathered around.
I was a bit shell shocked at the time and worried about my parents (they live in California) because i thought it was all out war!
All this on the day before my brithday too.
:(
