I was a sunny day when the attacks happened. I am sure everyone knew where they were. We may or may never know what really happened considering the government likes to hide the details. Very sad!
so sad
there really are no words to reflect the mood of this anniversary…
i remember that day so well, can’t believe its been 8 years already.
One of the worst days in history….
@Brandi…I remember exactly where I was on that morning….
very sad
Very sad day….r.i.p to all the 9-11 people.
Side note: is it me or does Michelle look pissed about something. At the Congress Health Speech she looked so pretty….but angry lol
8 yrs later 9/11 can still bring tears to my eyes
i was a chicken that day… i cried all day long …i felt unsafe…. i still cant watch it…. may all the victims and thier families …. have peace in JESUS name…
RIP everyone who lost their lives on 9/11
i love my president and our fabulous first lady!!!
rip to all of the victims of 9/11 and may god be with those who lost a loved one!
wow i felt the same as number 9 no shade, i didnt cry but i felt sick from fear and feeling unsafe, im from London but i was in Miami and i felt it was about to go down straight away WW3 it was a crazy morning. What was more strange is sept 10th 01 me and my friends went to Pizza hut for dinner but at that time i had never been to NY she was tellin me about the twin towers and how she was in NY when they first tried to blow it up but what was more strange is she was telling me how tall the building is and she said around 9pm sept 10th “the building is so tall planes could fly into it but that will never hapen cause its a no fly zone’ September 11th 9 am she woke me up in my miami hotel room screaming about what she mentioned the nite b4
That’s a crazy story #12.
I was at the beginning of my senior year in HS on 9/11. We watched the coverage on the news in one of my classes, and afterward I remember walking down the school hallways in a daze and afraid of what would happen next.
RIP TO THE 9/11 VICTIMS AND GOD BLESS ANYONE AFFECTED BY THAT TRAGEDY.
@brandi: i was at skool when it happened and i remember that day very clearly.
The whole ceremony is taking place behind my job as we speak! Surreal is the only word 2 describe it, and 2 c a big hole where the tallest buildings once stood…theres no word 2 describe what i feel everyday.
RIP all those who died…@7
She is not mad that is just her look…
RIP and Blessings 2 the families and victims of 9/11
I like it…. people cant tell what she is really thinking : ]
Wow #12, that is so crazy! I remember that day so vividly, I remember me and my family attending Bible Class that night! My Bishop spoke stating that this was the
Beginning of the END!
Please everyone Keep your heart and Mind stayed on THE Heavenly Father! He’s the only one who can give you Peace of Mind, like I said before it’s only Organized Chaos!
The End is Near!
BLESSINGS TO ALL AFFECTED BUT THERE MUST BE SOME CLOSURE!!!
People who lose family members everyday are not reminded every year of how the person died and the tragedy surrounding the event.
This yearly memorial doesnot help the families heal they need closure.
I don’t think anyone will ever forget what they were doing and where they were. This just brings it all back, such a tough time in our history. RIP to all those lives lost, we may never know what truly happened. I feel for the families, may God Bless Them.
I will never forget 9/11,because 9/11 is the month and day that I was born
@ 12, that is a crazy story man. I remember what that day was like for me, I was at home when it happened. I just couldn’t believe what was going on. It is just bizarre that the government is still trying to keep that under wraps.
Of course,the Bush Administration had something to do with 9/11,you know ,in one of my classes in high school,we traced the origin of the Republican Party and found out that they have connections to Nazism,and they actually gave their support and approval to Hitler and his racist and montrous ideas,when Hitler was in power.Even their constant attacks on Obama is nothing but an old brainwashing and propaganda technique that they copied from Hitler and the Nazi`s.Republicans are nothing but Nazi`s who disguise themselves as Americans in Republican clothing.
I think very highly of Michelle Obama and I think she will go down in history as the greatest first lady in history,but I really pray for her husband Barack,he is under a tremendous amount of strain and stress even though he tries not to show it
I LOVE MY FIRST LADY MICHELLE AND MR. PRESIDENT OBAMA
THEY REPRESENT STRENGTH, POWER, AND MOST OF ALL LOVE…
BUT DONT GET IT TWISTED, AINT GONNA BE NONE SO DON’T START NONE!
@ Positive Chick
I’m glad I’m not the only one who thought that! She looked mad at the speech and she looks mad today!
Cheer up First Lady!!! Still luv ya!!!
Oh please, lol. There is nothing sad about “9/11″ and for every death that occurred during that event, the white man has avenged it 10,000 fold in his ridiculous “War On Terror”. You black people are funny. The area where the World Trade Center was brought down at was a slave and Native American burial ground which the city of New York refused to commemorate or memorialize in any way. There were studies done on the bones of the slaves in that burial ground that prove that they were literally worked to death. Instead of considering that, a negro wants to reminisce about some 6 or 7 figure making caucasian that bungee jumped out of a high-rise phallic symbol without a cord, lol. To hell with every last one of them and to hell with the New World Order agenda that the elite used this event to initiate.
My president and first lady always look so nice.
I was in school as well. My teacher just turned on the television but I didn’t know what was going on because my classmates were talking so loud. I thought we were watching a movie. I remember the office being so busy because parents were calling and coming to pick up their children.
@ Judah,
So what about all the kids who lost their parents? Wondering when daddy or mommy would come home after work? What about the ones who lost their spouse, sibling, or cousin, grandparent, or best friend? I doubt if they had anything to do with slaves or a Native Americans.
That day was chaos here in DC, it looked like something outta Independence Day in the streets with people trying to get the fvck outta town. Can’t believe it’s been 8 years. I don’t think I cried until later that night, after all the reports really sunk in.
everyone please ignore JUDAH!!!
i was in the 8th grade my math teacher had gotten a call from her daughter saying they ran planes into the wtc i did not know what happened until the final period of the day when my english teacher took us to the library were we saw what happened i was to immature to completely fathom what happened until i saw pictures of the victims in a magazine a year later then it hit me on what a tragedy it was
Seriously judah, september 11 01 attack was intentionally allowed to happen or was a false flag operation orchestrated by the USA government. The collapse of the World Trade Center and 7 World Trade Center were the result of a controlled demolition rather than structural weakening due to fire.
The innocents that died – because of this illumanti driven b**tards..
When you comment on the rappers/singers. They’re into that sh*t. You don’t have to sound like a heartless being on thsi type of post. Especially when family member lost someone, etc.
RIP to all the victims. 9/11 still brings tears to my eyes
Shame on anyone who is stupid enough to believe the hype and the conspiracy theories on the government being actively apart of the 9/11 attacks. What happend that day was one of the worst attrocities in modern history and it is truly disgusting if you believe that crap.
@ DERA
your brain sure must be a size of a pea. conspiracy whatever. A week before the attacks happened. They had all sorts of construction going on at the top floor. i.e plantation on bombs and explosives. Is the government your family? everything isn’t what it seems. lol at some of the black people on here. Take everything as it’s given to them,No skin of my nose.
I REMEMBER.. IT WAS LIKE MY FIRST WEEK IN GRADE SIX…..
@ 36 ITS TRUE THAT THIS WAS PLANNED…TAKE A LOOK AROUND US….WHY WOULDNT YOU BELIEVE THAT THEY GOV’T WOULDNT PLOT SOMETHING LIKE THIS?
YOU IDIOT!
@MY2SENSE
See, now you were the same idiot that tried to talk like you were about something on that Tuskegee Experiment post, and as usual, the black woman talks with no knowledge and according to emotion which is why ya’ll are the best double agents in the world. Cry for that white man now, because America is going to destroy itself soon, so I want you to get comfortable in that kitchen.
