So it's 9/11 again

Where was everyone when it happened?

having drinks at home before heading out for dinner

Had a bit of a look at some 9/11 docos on the Teev today. The Conspiracy Theorists one gave me a giggle. What a bunch of stoopid farkers.

Bucky chaired it?

Hehehe, probably.

I was in Oxford, a friend mentioned to me what happened and at first it didn't really sink in and I wasn't aware of the serious of it. Walked past a Curry's and a huge group of people were gathered round the TV's and when I saw the pictures the magnitude of it started to sink in. Went home and turned on the TV and saw the second plane crash live, seemed almost surreal.

I was watching the late news, when towards the end of the bulletin they had breaking news that a plane had crashed into the world trade centre. At first it was thought to be a light plane, but I then saw the second plane crash into the other tower live and ended up staying up all night watching the news develop.

The next day at work a lot of people thought that world war III was really about to break out.

I was at school.

I can honestly say that once I got home and heard the news I thought that America as a country deserved it. It is disgusting that civilians were killed though. I feel the same about the London bombings. How many more civilians have been killed in Afghanistan and Iraq though?!

School

I had JUST moved to America.

Aye, you have to snigger at smart@rse seppo kids telling experts how a building is supposed to collapse

I slept through the lot.

You've been asleep for 9 years?

He is a queenslander

I was at work - had just got back from lunch. Nothing got done that afternoon - we were all transfixed by what we saw on the television

Probably sleeping. Came to know of it the next morning.

Likewise - only difference was that my colleagues & I were watching the lantern over lunch when the first pictures came in.

watching the lantern = on the piss?

Aye. It happened after 11.00 pm Eastern Aus time and I was sleeping. Got up the next morning and the wireless and TV were in meltdown mode when I turned them on.

I don't watch television in the morning & for some weird reason I didn't hear a radio so I got to work with nfi. (Situation normal, some would say)

school cafeteria and the gym were not an ideal place for me in those days....

i was a bit scared so just pretended that i didn't understand English.

that might explain horace's forumming style
