I was unemployed and had no TV at the time. A friend called me at like 9 in the morning and told me to get to a TV set because one of the towers was on fire. By the time I got to my parents' house 20 minutes later the second plane had hit and the WTF had officially begun.

I was on Obner in Ma's basement. Missed the whole thing.

What if just one plane hit the Sears Tower?

It would probably be, like, the 3rd story, nationally. Because, you know, it's not New York.

I was in my dorm room here at UNL. I had just gotten up and was in the process of getting dressed and/or making coffee. My sister called me to say she had heard a plane flew into the Twin Towers. I quickly flipped on the TV and all hell broke loose. The 2nd plane hit the tower and reports of multiple hijackings were all over the airwaves.
I had to explain it all to my other sister who was taking some Education classes for her Master's Degree and lived in an International Residence Hall full of scared arabic and asian folk.

it would be amazing because it would have time-traveled.

air raid sirens went off around noon today

i figured it was patriotism-related

These fries are delicious.

Louis CK has a hilarious joke about how soon after 9/11 it was appropriate to masturbate, and the punchline was something like: I got one off in between the tower's going down...lolz

Pretty sure that's the weekly test of the ol' air raid siren system.

Speaking of time-travel... But I do suppose you could have meant cmj.com/bb.

could be. but i head to the gym every day at noon and pass the air raid siren tower and this is the first time i've ever heard it go off.

i thought i was being followed by an invisible fire truck

a huge invisible firetruck filled with all 343 of the firefighters who died that day. chills.

THE GHOST FIRETRUCK....SHE SAILS THE NIGHT!!!

I was in attendance at the first Daily Show after 9/11. It really, really wasn't funny at all.

and the best commentary on 9/11 remains David Foster Wallace's "The View From Mrs. Thompson's".

It usually goes off at 11 here. Maybe they moved it to noon in honor of the day...

Love the stairway on this one. "May God take us to the top floor of the burning building."

hahahahaha

nothing like an american tragedy to bring out the best in every carnival artist
