Me too…exact same spot! I think we had a test at 930 and I remember walking by everyone on way to class thinking what is the scuttle but in the loungeI was a senior at UGA. Watched the towers fall on TV in the lounge of Sanford Hall.

It’s on the internet so it must be true. I mean, what a solid source.
Unfortunately you can’t reason with dumbass people! It doesn’t matter how many facts are there! We have family friends no longer here too, and this really pisses me off especially when it’s on 9/11.As I said earlier in this thread, I am a tour guide at Ground Zero and sorry, I meet survivors or family members of the victims every week and this really sticks in my craw. If it's a troll it's not funny--it demeans not only the victims and the families and communities they were torn from, but also the men and women who went to fight for this country in the aftermath. If you actually believe this, even a little, even enough to float it out there on a public message board, I'd suggest you examine the state of your soul and your true motives for wanting to blame whomever else you want to blame
I was a freshman in a 9:00 Trig class at a JuCo in S Ga (transferred to UGA my junior year). Just before class started someone walked in and said a plane had flown into one of the WTC buildings. We all thought it was a small private plane. This was before the current state of having all world news at our fingertips with phones, so in terms of finding out more, that was it for the next 50 minutes. As we all left class, it was the only time in my life I can ever recall every single group of people talking about the exact same thing. For the next 3-4 hours, it was as if the world stood still.And it’s tough. I’ll never forget being 8 years old and having to come in from recess, not knowing what was going on. I know we all remember where we were that day, and what we were feeling. Listening to the 911 calls is absolutely heartbreaking.
The FDNY were and are heroes. In such a fractured time politically and otherwise, I hope we can all come together tomorrow and say a prayer for the families and friends and loved ones affected by this awful attack. Whatever your beliefs, theories, questions or what have you, whatever you think of certain leaders or figures, it really doesn’t matter. We’re all very blessed to live in a country where we can debate about who plays running back and point spreads in an awesome community like this.
If you had a friend or loved one give their life that day, our hearts, thoughts and prayers are with you, although that will never remove the pain of loss.
We are all Dawgs, but more importantly, at least tomorrow, we are all Americans.
God bless you, and God help and heal this country.

Brother, I couldn’t give less of a shit about Fox News but that’s a hell of a broad brush you’re painting with.Says the person that probably watches Fox News

Working at a high level as usual and gathering all the resources I can before the dollar fails. How bout you?I’ve literally been waiting for you to join us. How’s the bunker this morning?

Yep, the slaughter of hundreds of thousands Afghanis and Iraqis that had nothing at all to do with 911/terrorism was a great response. A loss of Innocence for air travel? Did you ever hear of Lockerbie or Flight 800, or the downing of the Korean airliner? The rest of the world didn't change much, but the false sense of safety of the US mainland was burst. Our response was typical and predictable. The neo-cons had been itching for an excuse to go to war in the mid-east and they had a plan in order already. 911 was their excuse. The question is whether the attack was part of the plan.Watched two documentaries on 9/11 last week.
Remember very vividly pulling into my company's parking lot with my wife, and hearing an ABC news breaking report on our car's radio, that what was thought to be a smaller plane ("perhaps a Cessna") had flown into one of the towers. I watched the news reports from my company's trading room after the 2nd plane hit the second tower. That morning and entire day was surreal.
My company had important business partners who held an office in the South Tower. They ended up losing 14 staff members. May all citizens and first responders who lost their lives that day continue to rest in peace.
The United States, and the world, changed that day. A loss of innocence, especially for commercial air travel. I am proud of the resolve that our country has demonstrated against terrorists since then.
The 911 Commission was just as inept and corrupt as the Warren Commission. Neither was interested in finding the truth.Have you actually looked into it with an open mind? A LOT of shit doesn’t add up. I’m not trying to tell you what to think or what to believe. I try to think for myself and do my own research so I’m not a puppet to the BS that’s out there. Like I said I don’t know what happened but If you don’t think our government isn’t capable of doing terrible things then you obviously haven’t studied history my friend
That is just plain awful. He deserves so much better. We’re taking care of everybody else’s while abandoning our own. Country is becoming harder to love.A reminder of what many are still dealing with, even if they were fortunate to survive/avoid physical scars.
The VA is crock of shit, at best. Want to "support the military"? Provide better follow-on care/benefits. Maybe increase pay so that the lowest-ranking enlisted aren't on food stamps.
This shouldn't be difficult.

The reasons the various relevant government agencies didn’t pick up the clear signals before 9/11 have been thoroughly explored. The rivalry and lack of communications between the NSA, CIA and FBI prior to 9/11 are well documented and a typical characteristic of large bureaucracies.Yep, the slaughter of hundreds of thousands Afghanis and Iraqis that had nothing at all to do with 911/terrorism was a great response.

Yes, the incompetence was there to not pick up the signals. But, who formulated the plan? Ever read about the Dancing Israelis? Google it.The reasons the various relevant government agencies didn’t pick up the clear signals before 9/11 have been thoroughly explored.

When outcomes can be feasibly attributed to malice or incompetence, incompetence is generally the more likely cause.
Having said that, the neocons were more than happy to use the opportunity and I totally agree that they had been looking for an excuse since the completion of first gulf war. There is not a single positive outcome to the invasion of Iraq, and it resulted in a staggering loss of life and treasure. Worst of all, the outcome was entirely predictable.
