I was at the gym that morning. As usual, most of the TVs throughout the gym were already tuned into news stations for the morning crowds. You couldn't hear them unless you had headphones plugged into jacks on the cardio equipment, so word of what was happening spread like a bad rumor.

At first, people started saying that one of the WTC towers was on fire. All of the TVs turned to live footage of the smoke coming from the first tower hit. We all talked about how horrible that was, because we already knew that a lot of people were alive who would soon be dead.

Then, someone yelled "They say a plane hit it!" So, people started trying to figure out how that could happen, but NOBODY thought anything other than an accidental collision.

Then, word spread that it was a passenger jet. "No way," we started saying. How horrible. How could that happen.

I was watching the TV when the second plane hit. You couldn't see the plane. It just looked like the second tower suffered some sort of an explosion. The whole gym went totally quiet, except for the techno music playing over the speakers everywhere. What is happening, we all wondered.

The gym owner turned off the techno music, and turned on the speakers of all of the TVs so we all could hear. Soon enough, they said that a second plane had hit the tower.

At that point, we knew.

I cancelled all of my clients/they cancelled me for the day. I went straight home from the gym to be with my wife, and we watched cable news numbly the rest of the day.

Every year on 9/11 my family says a special prayer for the victims and their families. This day will always be a scar on the American conscience for many generations to come. All we can do is remember, pray and move on with our lives. It's not an easy thing to do, but it is the only thing we can do. God Bless! God Bless America!!!

It still makes me sick when I see the footage of the towers coming down.

Prayer's for all the families of the victims of this cowardly attack on our nation. Terrorists simply need to be tried and executed by the most expeditious means possible.

Never forget !

For 2 weeks after the the day of 9/11 I have fighter jets flying low over my shop 5-6 times a day. I'm outside DC 19 miles. I have a old high school buddy who was very lucky at the Pentagon. His whole work team of Computer installers took a direct hit and were killed, he was the sole survivor of his company at the pentagon.

God Bless the USA

I have footage of it all. I just so happened to be taping on TV that morning and I was babaysitting my grandson. It was unbelievable. After it sank in and after the 2nd plane hit as we watched, baby sitting on my lap and both glued to the TV, I packed up my grandson and went to the grocery store, uncertain of what and how big this attack was at the time. I've always worried about San Antonio having so many military bases and being attacked, since I grew up by Lackland AFB and my dad worked at Kelly AFB. It was a horrific day of disaster and uncertainty for our nation.
I will never forget. GOD Bless those families that lived it, and especially those who lost loved ones and friends. Our nation will forever be changed after that terrible day.

Prayers for all of the families that lost loved ones that tragic day.God Bless America.

The raw pain felt for those who lost their lives and for the one's who loved them will be remembered forever, it is the sight and sound of those tragic events that has forever changed our world. How can anyone not believe that each American Christian was attacked that day.
We will remember, we will always have those effected directly by these events in our prayers and we pray for our future.

Darryl Worley's song 'Have You Forgotten?' sums it up real well for me. You country music fans will know which song I am referring to. Always remember those that have fallen- Never Forget! God Bless America!

[ridgehunter]

So many sacrificed their lives for others on that day. It seems so many have now forgotten or don't care. All we hear now is that we are to cave in to these killers or be afraid of what might happen. It is about time that they should be afraid of what might happen. We need a government that will stand free and defend this land again. Now is the time to remember by sending all of the DC liberal jihad supporters packing. The present leadership is sacrificing our freedom and our children's future. The same message that was sent in a field in Pennsylvania on 9/11 needs to be heard in the Capitol so that there will be no more bowing down and kissing up to our enemies; those that would exchange our Constitution for the law of Sharia need to know that Americans will not allow this land to be brought down to its knees. Not today not ever!
