apbuild Posted September 11, 2005 Report Share Posted September 11, 2005 Today is the fourth anniversary of the attacks in the United States. Can you remember what you were doing on that day, four years ago? I was working in Slough and did not have a radio or access to the TV. I remember getting home at around six o'clock and sitting, watching in disbelief at the news as it was replayed over and over again. In rememberance of almost three thousand people, who lost their lives in the Twin Towers, The Pentagon and on the fourth hijacked airliner. Rob.

dunganick Posted September 11, 2005 Report Share Posted September 11, 2005 it happened when i was on my way home from school and i remeber woundering what the announcments about not leaving anything on the station unattended were about, as at the time it was something i had never heard in 3 years of using the train. (now i hear it every day :blink: ) when i got home my mum told me what had happened, i went up stairs and turned the tv on as litterally tht secound the 2nd plane hit...i was speechless, still makes me pause when i think about it. watching it live was strange, hopefully i wont have to watch a disaster like that unfold infront of my eyes again. my sympathy to those who lost people, i know at least 2 people whom where lost. i dont think anyone dosent know someone that was lost. sometimes the world seems a small place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HAMMY Posted September 12, 2005 Report Share Posted September 12, 2005 I was Picking up on a Partridge shoot on Buccleugh Estate, one of the guys said he heard it on the radio between drives, but he was prone to telling a few stories and exageration so no one took notice. Gobsmacked when got home and saw tele! Hammy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisNicholls Posted September 12, 2005 Report Share Posted September 12, 2005 Driving on the M23, heard it on the radio about the first plane, remember thinking what a tragic accident, then heard about the second plane and remember thinking "this was no accident" got home and sat glued to the telly for hours. It has entered history as the type of event that everybody remembers where they was when they heard the news. Tragic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elma Fud Posted September 13, 2005 Report Share Posted September 13, 2005 Like Hammy I was out on a partridge shoot. I never new anything about what had happened until I got home. My wife told me what had happened and said that the towers were gone :( I was in total disbelief. Watching the images being replayed on Sunday sent a shiver down my spine.

Paul in North Lincs. Posted September 14, 2005 Report Share Posted September 14, 2005 Was having a quick 40 winks in Asdas car park between appointments. I can remember being inquisitively shocked.... and cancelled my appointment to fly back to the office and get up the details on CNN. By the time I got back the second and third plane had been gone down. A very, very sad day indeed. My thoughts still got out to all those who tragically lost their lives.

digger Posted September 14, 2005 Report Share Posted September 14, 2005 i was building an extension in cranleigh.watched it live on the telly.wondered then as i do now if the noraid supporters could see the irony of it.my heart goes out to the families of those who died.that said how many new yorkers supported the "freedom movement" by putting a few green backs in the tin ? those greenbacks paid for the bombs and bullets that killed and maimed OUR people. sympathy for the families,yes.shock at what happened ? no. there you go,could have been written by any anti american on any website and been decried as fanaticism.written by an englishman who was fed up with the us of a supporting terrorism anywhere but at their own front door.truth is as tragic as it was they had it coming Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henry d Posted September 14, 2005 Report Share Posted September 14, 2005 I normally(as I am of a certain age)listen to Virgin radio through the day,however I hadn`t that day but when I left home to pick my wife up from work I heard the broadcasts and we raced home to see the news. The thing that hit me was my wife told me that it was similar to watching the news during the Falklands war and I had to appreciate what she went through whilst I was there,it is(in my case)harder to watch someone elses horror than to go through it yourself.
