Yes....well Germany is so big on cars that we even maske crappy cars for people that want them...you probably bought one of them...

If you want good cars look for BMW, Audi or Mercedes.

I was driving and on the radio the news was on all the time, I kept swapping channels looking for some music.

Then I realised somet has happened, the annoying thing was it took nearly 20 minutes for the news people to actually say what was going on, there was a lot of "oh how terrible" "was it terrorists" and all that.

I find it odd that 60,000 people died in Turkey in an earthquake a year earlier and didn´t get that much attention, it was second choice on the news.

I'm not going to down play that tragedy of 60,000 people dying. But this was the fault of direct human actions.... That changes things a bit.

I had just finished school and heard as I entered the school bus something about a "giant ball of flames" on the radio, but I wasn't really listening.

When I got home I sat down in front of the TV and started zapping through the various channels. When I reached CNN I saw the live broadcast about the plane that had just crashed into one of the towers. And after watching for a while, the second plane flew right into the other tower.

I couldn't believe what I saw. The rest of the day I spent zapping between CNN, BBC and the Norwegian newschannels.

I was in my further math's class at college, and I remember somebody coming into the classroom to tell us about it. I think it was a tuesday, wasnt it?

I was driving to a sub-contract wire eroding company in Birmingham when I heard the news on the radio.

It's very odd that I remember that so clearly. 😕

Yeah it was Tuesday, I had Tae Kwon Do.

I was just coming out of school, walking to the gate. My friend ran up to me and said "Someone has flown a plane into the twin towers" (apparantly it had came to the teachers attention and they saw fit to broadcast it in the school).

I didn't know what he meant so I walked home (about a minute down the road) and my mum, couple of cousins etc were watching it.

When I watched it and started to realise just what had happened, it was the only public event that actually brought tears to my eyes. For the simple reason that I started hearing about how partners were jumping from the buildings holding hands etc. Horrific.

Just a normal day at work, then that.

-AC

at home getting ready for work when i saw the second plane hit and the flurry of reports about the pentagon and all that...cry

I was pregnant with 6 weeks left to go..thinking oh Gawd..

I wasnt brought to tears. It was a sad event, but IMO it was only a matter of time before somebody struck at america

i was off school in my house and i turned the telle over and seen it on tv i thought it was a movie untill there was the news thing i was wtf wtf wtf omg

I was round a buddies place playing chess and smoking a little with some Bob Marley on the speakers.......
Then my freind got the phone call from his brother and I could hear was his reactions to what he was being told:..."Really? How many dead...? ...Jesus......" etc..... He made a couple of drinks and he started saying about people flying planes into buildings in America....

So then the TV gets put on there it is across like 4 of our 5 terrestrial channels were showing the 2nd tower collapse live, and then repeated images of the 2nd plane hitting earlier.... I went home shortly after and got straight in at home to follow the updates on tv... I didn't sleep for that night....

Not to sidetrack the thread, but an experiment was conducted with people who lived during the time the Challenger exploded. They were asked where they were and what they were doing when they heard the news. Then they were asked again years later...some of the answers they got were interesting.

One woman heard about it over lunch, but she "remembered" that someone had run screaming through her dorm about the explosion.

@ home, watching it on CNN.

Oh yeah? Well then how come the Asian tsumani got so much attention while the slaughter of Kurds in Afghanistan went ignored, as well as various horrible atrocities that happen every day in Africa... dictators feed people to their crocodiles, for Christ's sake!
