Silver Tiger Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 I was 14 and just got on the bus when my friend told me. The bus driver put on the radio and I heard it all happening. The biggest problem of 9/11 was that it succeeded in scaring so many people. Since then a lot of that fear has turned into blind hate. 5 years already? Came quick. God Blessa!

sonic1988 Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 And finally, Jacques Chirac of France came here first as soon as air travel was possible, he was the first head-of-state to come here, and roughly a week after that Tony Blair came in, and for some stupid reason nobody cared that a French head of state came by, they only cared about Tony Blair. (Maybe we perfer to give respect to the people who gave us "taxation without representation" as opposed to the people who actually helped us become a country.) I sense somebody doesn't like the English :bufordpusser: haha, kidding of course I see what you are saying but I think the thing people had in their mind that at that time was the fact Bush publicly said that Blair was the first person on the phone after it had happend to offer suport. And the suposed "special relationship" between US - UK, are all things you have to take into account I didn't mean any disrespect, I'm just really sick and tired of these anti-french, anti-jewish, anti-"whatever" sentiments. Can't people just shut up and learn that we are all stuck on this little planet? we may as well be friends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazzy Julie Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 i was 17 and it was my first day back at college after the summer break. we had all signed in which took about half an hour and the rest of the day was ours. usually they put a big tv on in the bar area but they didtn bcoz it was the first day back, so when the first plane hit at about 2pm uk time i had no idea what was happerning, only until 5pm when i was going home i got a text from my friend. I couldnt quite believe it, i thought she was over reacting, it was only when i got home and saw it on the news i realised what had happened. RIP all that died on that day.
