NonDawg Watching this 60 Minutes episode on CBS on 9/11…

[RingoTheBell]

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.

We said we would never forget but most Americans did, and soooo quickly.

I was a senior at UGA. Watched the towers fall on TV in the lounge of Sanford Hall.

Not up here. It’ll be another somber 9/11 in NY. Everyday I walk past a Brooklyn firehouse that lost three guys that day. Whitford, Stackpole, and Corrigan.

 

[MRDAWG]

Watching it too.

Was teaching gym class….remember just wanting to go home…

 

[-lowcountrydawg]

Have never been prouder of our Country than the months following 9/11. We truly came together and quit bickering about Bs that doesn’t matter.

 

[GrantParkDawg]

I was a sophomore at UGA. Watched from Ramsey Center at my racquetball class when the towers fell.

I remember listening to the radio on the way and no one had any idea what’s as going on whether it was an attack or accidental.

 

[Single Barrel Dawg]

This isn’t my experience at all

 

[Billy Zane]

Watching as well. I watch every year.

It's absolutely ok to get emotionally involved in college football, as long as you remember what real emotion is.

 

[USN_Dawg]

I was working on the submarine that day. We were in port. It was very tense on the submarine base for a while after that.

I do remember my mom saying maybe it was a pilot that had a heart attack or something. Then, when the second one hit, she said “we’re under attack.”

It is easy to forget that information was not instantaneous quite yet at that point in time

 

[BaileyDawg79]

Watched as I was studying for a test that morning. Have never experienced a more quiet UGA bus than the ride to campus that morning. Remember like it was yesterday listening to NPR as we road to North Campus.

My professor excused anyone that had family in NY from the test and then came in and wrote updates on the board as they happened while we took our test.

A true inflection point in American history

 

[Dawg 4:13]

Even if you’re not an Alan Jackson or country fan, this song does a nice job of bringing out the emotions of the day

 

[orangeisgay]

I was a senior at UGA. Watched the towers fall on TV in the lounge of Sanford Hall.

I was a senior at FSU, listened to it on the radio with a whole bunch of students in an open space on campus, the radio belonged to a guy who had a hot dog stand in the middle of campus

 

[Bryant824]

A tragic day in our history. Hope it wasn’t really an inside job.

Cannot imagine that feeling. I believe you served our country as well, unless I’m going insane, so a genuine thank you.

 

[Red_Red_Whine]

I was a senior at UGA. Watched the towers fall on TV in the lounge of Sanford Hall.

I walked in right after the second one fell. So surreal.

 

[BaileyDawg79]

Appreciate that. 9/11 was actually the reason I ended up serving.

 

[RealisticUGAfan1191v2.0]

Was in 11th grade & in the computer lab for English class typing a paper when a fellow classmate came running in yelling "they attacked us, they attacked us".....We all looked at him like "huh, wtf are you yelling about".......He said turn on the TV. Teacher turned it on right before the 2nd plane hit the 2nd tower.............Will never forget it.

 

[RingoTheBell]

Appreciate that. 9/11 was actually the reason I ended up serving.

I had a feeling the two were connected. Definitely an honorable thing to do.

 

[RedNBlackNtheDay]

I was on a flight to Shreveport when we were ordered down in Jackson, MS. Didn’t know anything until a tearful gate attendant came on and announced to passengers.

Got the last rental car and drive back to ATL. Spooky getting back to my truck in the parking deck with no one at the airport

Yea I watched it. Hard to hold it together watching that.

 

[fprex]

B.S. I don’t know one person that doesn’t stop and think about that when those digits are presented.

What effs it up even more is how weird the hours were after the catastrophe. It’s why we question everything that happens to this country now.

 

[lnholland1]

I was in 3rd grade, Mrs Rogers class. We got to go home early….our Church had a big service that evening.

 

[Single Barrel Dawg]

Dear. Gawd.

 

[Bryant824]

Dear. Gawd.

Stay asleep if you must

 

[SegaDawg16]

To go along with this, everyone needs to visit the 9/11 museum in NYC. It’s not a fun or pleasant experience - quite somber actually. But it makes it all so real and tangible.

Prayers to anyone involved with that day and especially folks who lost friends and family. May we never forget!

 

[fprex]

Dear. Gawd.

Some things from that day have never been given a rational explanation.

Not B.S. but I won’t be the one who gets this sent to the chat, so we’ll just have to disagree.

 

[RingoTheBell]

Dear. Gawd.

I really don’t want this thread to turn into a debate thread of any kind. Wasn’t really why I started it.

 

[WBDawg13]

I was working at a TV station in Mobile at the time. I’ll never forget watching the second tower fall and having to shield a co-worker from seeing it. She had just talked to her brother on the cell phone…he was on the top floor of that tower and was calling to tell her he loved her and it didn’t look like he would make it. Something you never get management training for.

 

[fprex]

Not B.S. but I won’t be the one who gets this sent to the chat, so we’ll just have to disagree.

It is BS. I have conversations with most adults every single year about that day.

It will never be forgotten to those that lived through that day.

I really don’t want this thread to turn into a debate thread of any kind. Wasn’t really why I started it.

And I wasn’t the one that suggested it was inside job

 

[nydawg34]

Was in Midtown Manhattan that morning at my office, right as the attacks started. Saw the towers fall from the roof of a friend’s apartment building. Tried to give blood, as I’m type O, but the blood bank was overwhelmed with volunteers. Still have my 9/12 New York Times and break it out annually to share my story with my kids. So far, my lungs are fine, but waiting for the day when my doctor shares bad news about what so many millions breathed in that day and the days that followed. Only now - as I was 25 when they happened - can I watch coverage from that day. Remember it so well.

 

[ColoradoDawg6]

Dear. Gawd.

Everyone should look into it and form their own opinion. I don’t know what happened but I don’t buy everything we were told. Too many things don’t add up.

 

[RingoTheBell]

It is BS. I have conversations with most adults every single year about that day.

It will never be forgotten to those that lived through that day.

I think it’s possible that what folks mean when they say “forget,” is just that the unity that was present in the following months has disappeared rapidly over the years.

 

[RingoTheBell]

And I wasn’t the one that suggested it was inside job

I didn’t say you were, I tried to quote both posts but I’m illiterate Rivals wise. Lol.

I remember immediately emailing you that morning in class to see what the hell was going on. So thankful you were on the move looking for your then lady.
