9/11 can you remember where u was??

<< < (11/12) > >>

Range Rover Red:
I can still remember my boss coming back into the office and saying 'I've just heard the most dreadful news ...' her next few words as she explained what had happened are a blur - it took a couple of days for it to sink in that anyone was capable of such an act.

I think what I found most shocking was that the victims of the attacks were ordinary people, exactly the same as me, who had gone to work as normal to pay the bills.  No matter what the organisation is, what the nature of its business is, how powerful, how glamorous, it still needs its cleaners, its admin staff, its catering staff and all the other usually unsung support staff, in order to function, in other words all the ordinary plebs like me, and these were amongst the victims.

RIP ALL the innocent victims of terrorism.

abinitio:
It was(still is) my birthday, when plane one hit I was in my car on my way home from work so got home and put sky news on immediatly to see second plane hit.

petergalileo:
Was at home watching it all happen on BBC news, sitting there absolutely stunned and thinking the sh**s really hit the fan now.

burgerman:
was running a busy mot station, when the lads came in from the workshop and told me the news, turned over the corparate tv in reception, and yes was very hard to believe what was going on in front of me,  At that same time we fairly but completely slated a chaps nova on its test, he just paid up and said "on the scheme of things my mot isnt worth getting worried about" How very true,


   As a reality check when things are "bad" for me i simply think of other parts of the world -- famine,disease, violence, terrorism , dictatorship-the list goes on-- and brings me back to reality , I guess most us arevery lucky really,    I moan about being skint/overdrawn, poo on from most angles ect ect and then really i have 8ugger all to winge about really, things could be a LOT worse

 for 7/7 i was in my first week of training to become a guard on the railways,  i now am,

On a lighter note i guess having a overdraft n being skint is the price we pay for dabbling with the green oval ???

dew1911:
Got home from school, about an hour later dad comes home "You seen what's happening? They're at war out their." And turns sky news on

For 7/7 I was doing work experience in the parts stock room at Hadwins Audi, first we knew was when one of them got a message on his bleeper (Regestered Paramedic) and we turned the BBC News Website on.
