[Sir David Gray]

Today marks another anniversary of the worst terrorist attack in modern times.

It's incredible to think that it was nine years ago. Although the years keep going by, it seems like only yesterday that I was watching that horrifying footage unfold on TV. I remember coming home from school (I was in 2nd year at high school at the time) and hearing all about the World Trade Centre, Al Qaeda and Osama Bin Laden. I hadn't heard of any of them before that day.

I still find it extremely distressing to watch the videos of the planes hitting the buildings and also seeing people jumping out of the buildings because the only choice they had was either jumping to their death or burning alive. I even find it difficult to watch documentaries that are related to the events on that day.

It's hard to comprehend the hatred and evil that came to the USA that day and I can only hope and pray that nothing like this ever happens again.

I can only echo what you say. I have watched several documentaries on the subject though but some are difficult to watch.

I honestly cant believe its been 9 years though. Unreal.

I Started college at stevenson a week before the events. I fell ill and only came-to that day that the events happened.


I watched it all unfold and can't elaborate or offer any opinion.

I still can't believe it was nine years ago because it seems like yesterday.

I remember coming home from school and getting ready fo my part time job and just staring at the TV in utter disbelief at what was going on..

Was so late for work and when in there (Tesco) the place had the strangest atmosphere ever..

Horrible, horrible time for so many people involved and watching across the world!

Can't believe next year will be 10 years since it happened..

I remember sitting at a poolside in Zante watching it all unfold. the place was mobbed, but, tv coverage aside you couldve heard a pin drop.

I was flying out of Newark last night and got to see the tower of lights tribute as my plane was taking off. Pretty somber stuff

[Ed De Gramo]

I was in Physics (either 3rd or 4th year) when the planes hit....

Can't believe its been 9yrs already...
