Same SeniorI was a senior at UGA. Watched the towers fall on TV in the lounge of Sanford Hall.
The two are independent. It was a different country then.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.
I understand. Just offering a possible explanation.The two are independent. It was a different country then.
I will never forget and have countless conversations with folks every single year that went through it.
Get the fuk out of hereStay asleep if you must
A tragic day in our history. Hope it wasn’t really an inside job.
That’s part of it. But more than that, we make decisions like that kind of evil isn’t out there looking to do us (collectively) harm. And then there’s a big chunk of the populace that legitimately doesn’t remember because they weren’t alive or were too young and we (collectively) have not done enough to educate them about it.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.
Yes; that song gets me every time.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
Yeah it still brings a tear just watching that! I still remember that morning, we were hanging fiber over the etowah river that morning and we all just packed up and went back to the work center to watch the newsAnd 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.
Man, I always figured you were notably older than me.I was a senior at UGA. Watched the towers fall on TV in the lounge of Sanford Hall.
Ha. My UGA roommate was one of your Beta fraternity brothers.Man, I always figured you were notably older than me.
I was in my first semester of grad school at Florida State. What a surreal time that was.
A tragic day in our history. Hope it wasn’t really an inside job.
Really? Who? This is awesome!Ha. My UGA roommate was one of your Beta fraternity brothers.
Thank you brother for your service !Appreciate that. 9/11 was actually the reason I ended up serving.
Jesus is Lord. And he is good.Good lord.
I was a freshman at Gainesville College - Athens Campus. I remember going on UGA’s campus and hanging out with some friends from high school in their dorm rooms. We just kinda sat around in shock watching the news.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.

Thank you for your public serviceWas a firefighter/paramedic…just got off shift and went home, took a shower and climbed in bed. My ex who was a NICU nurse called me and told me about it…turned on the TV to see the second plane crashing into the other tower. Somber day
I was on the bus back from Ramsey after my 8am volleyball class and the bus was so silent and the radio so loud. I thought it was some prank, like a war of the worlds thing until I walked into Brumby and saw everyone standing around the TV. Woke up my roommate to turn on the tv to see the towers fall.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.
You’ve gotta be F’ing shitting meA tragic day in our history. Hope it wasn’t really an inside job.
Disagree with this 100 percent. My daughter and her friends who were not even born at that time all have an appreciation for what happened that day. And most of the time they don't pay attention to anything they consider historical.We said we would never forget but most Americans did, and soooo quickly.
Oh my gosh. I have tears streaming down my face now thinking of all the people who faced something similar that day. So unbelievably sad.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.
I cant believe people really believe that crap.And I wasn’t the one that suggested it was inside job
IIRC I was at that game, the first game in Sanford after 9/11. I had not been to a game in years. We played Arkansas and Reggie Brown tore his ACL on a kickoff (opening kickoff I think). I attended with 2-3 friends. It reignited my desire to attend games and I became a season ticket holder the following season. Lots of patriotism and righteous anger and determination that we were not going to sit home in fear (some were scared of large public gatherings at that point). Moving halftime and pregame. We beat Arkansas.If ever in NYC, I highly recommend going to the 9/11 museum. Pretty powerful stuff. Saw this when I visited a few years ago too
