All right, all right, all right.
lost in the kickoff of pro football, and the loss of our beloved buckeyes against the horns yesterday, lost in the media polls, and idiotic espn mark may comments, lost in the heisman race, has been that this is the four year anniversary of 9/11. im sure most of us will remember where we were that day. i was at school and we went to mass during the middle of spanish class, thats where we heard what happened.

i just thought there should be a thread to remind us that things could be worse, and that we shouldnt overlook what happened that horrible day.
 
I, too, was at school. I was in the library when and there was a group of teachers around one of the TVs, and I just looked at it as if it were only a building on fire, because I couldn't see it too well from across the room.

Later in the day we kept finding out more and more of what happened. It's truly something I will never forget, and really puts things into perspective.

I got up to go to work and turned the TV on... they said a plane crashed into one of the towers... at this point everyone thought it was an accident...by the time I back from shaving and brushing my teeth the second plane hit and we all learned what was going on. I ended up sitting there just watching for another hour.... then realized I was late for work so I grabbed my little TV and went in.... we just sat in the office for the next 8 hours watching it.... the only time we stopped was when I had to run to the store to get more batteries for the TV.

4 years ago yesterday, i got up and had breakfast with one of my closest friends and as i got home, my mom called and told me to turn on the tv, so i sat down and watched, and i dont think i moved from that spot for nearly 2 days

we all know that sports help us forget about these horrific events for a while, but we are always reminded in our hearts.

I remember I had closed at work the night before so got home and went straight to bed. Rolled out of bed the next morning to check fantasy scores on cbs. And there on the front page was the first tower in fire, being half awake I wasn't sure what was going on at first. Then I finally relized what was going on. Went down and got my phone and saw that I had missed a ton of calls. It was surreal to say the least

I was standing on 5th Ave. when the first plane flew over my head and hit. We were waiting to go to class, and as we thought it was an accident we went in for our 9:00 class. Shortly thereafter the building was evacuated. . .

I lived in the closed-off zone of downtown and the next week was surreal.

Now, four years later, about all I remember vividly is the smell. . .

Weirdest most surreal thing ever for me....I was on my way to campus to my lab, but I left home at just the moment the first one was hitting, and no one understood what was happening yet (I hadn't seen it before I left). As I got to campus, there was noise everywhere...the band was rehearsing, ROTCs were marching, students were coming and going, and there wasn't a cloud in the sky. I heard it first on the Bob and Tom show, and at first I thought it was a sick, sick prank...then I got to work, turned on a radio to NPR or something similar, and the shit was hitting the fan right at that moment. Less than an hour later campus was dead, and there wasn't a sound...and still not a cloud in the sky.

Horribly, horribly sad memory.

I had just got out of bed and was checking my email and listening to 610 WTVN when the national news broke into the Bob Conners show to report the first plane attack. I immediately ran to the television and turned on Fox News to get the live coverage. As I was watching the live coverage and talking to my sister on the phone about what had happened, I saw the second plane come onto the screen and go into the second building.

The two things I will never forget about that day is watching the second plane go into the buildings as I sat there completely dumbfounded by what I was watching and also the phone call I received from a friend of mine crying hysterically when the first tower fell. She was a classmate of mine, but had worked temp jobs in the towers, and knew many people who still worked there. Both of those memories still make my blood go cold.

I was working a crappy sales job while I waited out the lousy job market in the IT field. I was at an appointment with a co-worker talking to a potential client when someone called him and told him the news. Immediately our sales meeting turned into a discussion of the event. We couldn't talk about anything else. I'm ashamed to admit that I went on to another appointment later in the day and actually made a sale. I can still picture the scene: I'm filling out the paperwork on the sale while the woman who I just sold to is watching the news just horrified about the whole thing. But aside from those two meetings I spent pretty much the whole day at home with my wife and children watching the news and contemplating what it all meant.

Let's all make sure we never forget.
