I fly a lot for work. For the first time since I started this job over a year ago I thought about 9/11 on the plane this morning. I'm not sure why. I'm not sure what made me think. but I kept thinking of all of those people who had no choice. Who saw their destiny in a second. I thought of all those wives and mothers and fathers and husbands who watched the news with such trepidation. I thought of passengers of flight 93 who knew they had a choice and made the hardest one possible. Could I have done that? I hope to god I'll never know. I was moved, and scared and sad.
I'm watching tv tonight and on A&E they are showing "Flight 93". Why now? Why today? It's nowhere near September but it's on and although I had planned on sleeping an hour ago I can't stop watching. I am....struck and I can't stop crying.

9/11 sucked for everyone. I spent that morning watching television, like most of America. I was drying my hair with a towel in the living room when the second plane struck. Tough morning.
Everytime I think of it, I think it's the "when kennedy was shot" of my generation.....sort of has that feeling......
Thank's for sharing, I know it's a downer post.....
Absolutely. Everybody remembers what they were doing when they heard the news.
I was sitting at home waiting for the Army to bring us a new refrigerator (we lived on base).
I spent most of the morning relaying information to my wife in South Korea via IM because they were about 30 minutes behind getting info.
I was at work, and everyone, including customers were huddled around the electronics department watching the t.v.s. My sister was worried about her husband who was in Chicago near the Sears Tower. I still cry when I sit and think about it.
I was in a hotel, we were there for training for my new position. I was up early, wanting to go for a run but was pissed off and watching my leech, controlling ex take bong hits at 5:00 in the morning.
I called my mom first.
I was in bed. My mom woke me up. She missed when then planes hit, she thought she was watching a movie as she watched the towers slowly become engulfed in fire. For some reason or another, she happened to catch the time on the corner of the screen and notice it was real time. She woke me up then.
I was scared to sleep that night. I thought if I went to bed it would start all over again.
