Yeah, I was thinking about that this morning. I can't believe it's already 4 years ago! And then think about all that has happenes since then! But, it still kinda makes me sick to my stomach to think about it.

Yeah, it is hard to believe it's already been 4 years. It does seem like it's been waaaaaaay less like a month or two. I still remember that morning 4 years ago......and remember most of the entire day.

Yeah, at the time I was living near Chattanooga TN..........I had gotten up about 7:45 or so and found out I didn't have to go to work, so I went back to bed.........just before 9 AM, my roomate came in my room waking me up.
I was ticked and told her to get out of my room that I didn't work.........she said she knew, and told me that there were terrorists that had just hit the World Trade Center.........I remember rolling back over saying "uh-huh, that's nice"......after a couple seconds of silence she asked me if I had heard what she had just said..........I was like "yeah, yeah, yeah.......New York, terrorists, World Trade.......did you say terrorists?!?!?"
We walked down to the college (we lived in a SDA college town, and didn't have a TV in our apartment, so the college rec room was the closest TV) and watched the news brodcasts from there..........I think classes had been canceled cuz the rec room was packed. After several hours I couldn't sit there and watch anymore, so I walked into a neighboring town about three or four miles away to look for work ( a second job)......everywhere I went had the news on, so I was still seeing it until I got home about 7:30 PM.
Sometimes I still have vivd dreams / nightmares about that day.

I was 12 then, and it was midnight here. My parents woke me up and told me that "something terrible happened," so I went downstairs with them. What I saw on the television completely shocked me. I couldn't go back to sleep after that...

I was at school when I fully realised what happened. I had never heard my college campus so quiet before. I got home that night and I found out my Uncle had been walking into the North tower as it was coming down. He turned around and hurried out of there before it completely collapsed. I always don't like today because it's also the day our church was dealt a serious spiritual attack that (on top of everthing else) could have crippled the church because the blow was felt in every department.

I was downstairs working on some cross-stitch when my Granny called and told us what was going on. We had on the radio all day until my dad got home. Then we pulled out our "rabbit ears" and got the TV news. It was scary because my grandpa and his wife had an apartment in NYC at the time...we were'nt sure exactly how far away they were. It turned out they were fine though. Then my uncle was in DC on business and was stuck for awhile til they let flights go out again.
The Lord is not slow about His promise, as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing for any to perish, but for all to come to repentance. ♡
I was in Biology, first hour with Ms. Anne Bolyard and Mr. Mark Lykins (student teacher), about 8 am central time, last row second seat from the right with Jennifer Swenson on my right and learning about sponges (the animals).
I could go on and on about a whole ton of details I remember from that day, but you get the idea.

I came home from school and my mom said "Two planes just flew into the World Trade Center." I didn't even know exactly what the WTC was. I had only heard of it like once or twice before then. I remember feeling really scared, esp. for my relatives who live near Washington D. C. And the relief we felt when they called us and let us know they were ok. I remember kinda feeling remotely safe, because we live in Germany, like really far away from all of that. But then finding out that the pilots were trained right here in Hamburg, where we live! Then I didn't feel so safe anymore! I remember the sympathy I got at school, the support from the Germans here, but then only months later the anger they suddenly felt about the war. That was totally un-cool, and very confusing, but also a different disscussion for a different time.

I was 8 at the time. It was midnight here, and my sis and me were talking (we were laughing our heads off about something which I cannot remember) and when we heard footsteps we thought that our parents were going to scold us for staying up late and talking, but then my dad came and told us to come down with us. The tv was on and when I saw it I was like "What in the world is going on...?" I thought it was just some weird factory thing with smoke coming out of the chimney at first. Then I don't remember how (At the time I had no clue what the twin towers looked like except from the train cards I collected then with a picture of statue of liberty and twin towers, which looked awesomely cool that I loved it) but some way I realized what was happening, then started bawling my eyes out. I was so freaked and after that I cried myself to sleep everytime I thought about it. I hope nothing like that ever happens again.
Wow. Long post.
