I was a freshman in HS and I remember the principal saying over the intercom for teachers to turn on the TVs and switch to any news channel. Then I remember the bell rang later to switch classes and there was total silence in the hallways. No one talked.

I worry that in 10 years our "educators" will try to minimize or outright erase 9-11 because they think it's offensive to muslims.

I still remember that day vividly. Driving through Shreveport and it being completely dead. Hearing Ray Charles sing America the Beautiful. Crap, I still get chills.

a girl I went to HS with was 3 months pregnant (son) and lost her husband on 9/11.
RIP Micheal Pescherine was a bond trader at Keefe, Bruyette & Woods and worked on the 89th floor of WTC2 South Tower.
I pray for their families often, especially for a young man who never got the chance to meet his father.

Thank you for your military service.
I was young during 9/11. But I remember that feeling of terror.
However, as I grew older I became more critical of the politics surrounding the event. While I mourn the tragedy of the event itself.
Like why we went after the countries that the terrorist were not actually from. Why the US is buddies with Saudi Arabia, with proven record of them financing Wahhabism and other terrorist acts.
This is not an indictment of those who served. It is a criticism of the leaders. I honestly dont believe the wars are still about 9/11. They are about control and money.

I was 10 at the time, so in elementary school but still old enough to understand. I didn't find out until the bus ride home when the bus driver told everyone about what happened and put the radio on. I still regret that my teachers did not put on news coverage in the classrooms like so many other schools did. I suppose they thought we were still too young at the time. I still feel somewhat insulated from the events that day.

There is a video of the audio from the 911 calls on youtube. There is a 5-10 minute audio of a guy calling from inside one of the towers. He is pleading for help and saying he is too young to die. The video ends with him screaming "Oh God" and you could the rumbling of the building collapsing. I found it about 10 years ago and have not listened to it since. I will never forget his voice.

Never seen that video before. That’s insane
Will never forget people walking around covered in ash/cement dust, etc looking dumbfounded
What was chilling to me was a doc I saw with Rudy G where we told the coroner to order 20k body bags and the coroner told him that there would be no need because there wouldn’t be enough of anyone to put in that many bags

I remember seeing this footage a few years back. There are several videos of the 2nd plane but not many of the first one hitting.

ETA: There is some cursing in the video if you need to adjust your volume.
ETA2: Also just realized this same link is in the OP.

Just finished this book recently. It is a quick, sometimes humorous, often heart wrenching look at the first year through the eyes of a new medical examiner in NYC who got there just before 9/11. Covers her time in NYC, not just 9/11 but that's a big chunk of it. If you can handle VERY descriptive accounts of some of the victims of this and the American Airlines crash that occured a month after in NYC it is a VERY good read, very informative and very good storytelling.

Neat that you post that, I was going through my Ground Zero photos this morning from when I was down there this past December and found this one.

Does anyone else get irrationally angry at the 9/11 "truthers"?
It gets worse every year as we get further from the day. Kind of like Holocaust "truthers."

I was in the 4th grade and living on a military base when this happened. Things were so different back then as a military kid. Friends could come on and off base housing without getting ID checked regardless of military affiliation. There was an open gate on the back side that was open from 9am-5pm on weekedays. It simply connected to another neighborhood with non-military kids. I went to a public school on the other side of the gate. Back then we would go back and forth riding bikes, skateboarding, playing football, etc.
We usually walked home after school, but that day my mom had called our neighbor to pull myself, my sister, and a few other friends out of school. When we walked past the gate, there was armed guards checking ID's. It seemed so weird. I remember on that walk back our neighbor told us there had been a terrorist attack and the base was in danger. I remember growing up all around the base their were threat indicator signs. For most of my childhood they were always blue for low. After that day they were almost always red or orange for high alert in some capacity. I had known what it meant, but a 10-year old just can't comprehend the severity of it.
When I went home that night we sat glued to the TV. I remember my dad was mad because my football practice didn't get cancelled and the line to get back on base housing was long as they were now checking ID's. We watched President Bush that night come on the screen and my dad said something along the lines of, "If he wears a red tie, we're going to war". Sure enough he did and for the better part of 8 years after that my dad was on some deployment at some time serving our country. Funny how those moments stick out to you.
