Where were you when 9/11 happened

Training MTA PD in Manhattan.
We all got up and went to work.

I was in 7th grade art class and they had us all sit and watch on the tv as the towers fell. Seemed like a movie at first then the teacher started getting teary eyed and told us terrorists had attacked the U.S.

It was a terrible tragedy. It didnt seem real at the time or maybe I just didnt really understand the implications then but now that I look back that was a turning point and the beginning of a trip down a dark path for our country.

I was at work when we got the news . People started going home and running to the gas stations. By the time I got off work gas had gone up over a doller a gallon . Later on the state sued the price gougers and fined them but the bastards keep the money they got instead of giving some back to the people who got screwed.

I was teaching some students how to operate a printing press when another teacher left a message on my office phone, I immediately went in the classroom and turned on the TV and let them watch it unfold.

Driving to work. The radio was just “on”. Danny Bondauce was on the radio with Jamie White. He said

There is a Republican in the White House who has his finger on the button and he’s pissed.

Or something very close to that. And then I thought “huh?”. It was after the second hit and the realization of the first not being an accident set it.

Wow, you’re young. Good to know I’m not the youngest here

I disagree. Where were we supposed to take it?

Im not talking about our reaction but the whole situation in general. From the attack to the war, its dark shit.

I do hate the fact that it caused us to establish a presence in an area of the world that will fight you for being any religion other than Muslim and call you a coward for leaving them alone. It’s a no win situation as far as position.

The only win is the fact that we are in a better striking position for those who wish to repeat 9/11. Unfortunately I think our presence is required for safety of our citizens

I believe certain undesirables in our government helped 9/11 happen and the ABC mafia helped them.
