Eleke95   10 #277 Posted September 5, 2006 I guess the question is similar to the one my mother used to say "where were you when Kennedy was shot?"  you seem to rememeber those amazing history-busting awfull moments !!  I was in Hillsborough, wynyard road arguing with my partner about a skip we watched open mouthed to what happened for it seemed like hours  I will always rememeber it  I was painting my son's bedroom when it came on the radio. When I went downstrairs and put the t.v on I couldn't believe what I was seeing. It was like watching a movie, it just didn't seem real. I still feel like that now when I see footage of it on telly.

Shiesh   13 #278 Posted September 5, 2006 I have to admit I became a little bit obsessed with the whole thing. As tragic as it obviously was, it still remains one of the most spectacular things I have ever witnessed. I was up the WTC earlier that year and the concept of them collapsing the way they did is just mind boggling. http://911research.wtc7.net/wtc/evidence/photos/wtc1ne1.html  There is a programme on Monday night at 9pm about the only survivors from in the building, all of whom were in the same stair well which somehow provided some sort or protection.  I wonder if someone can explain this for me then??  I watched ''The Miracle of Stairway B'' on Channel 4 last night and of all the firefighters taking part in the program not one of them mentioned the name... Richard Picciotto???? This firefighter wrote the book 'Last Man Down'' about this very event!! So why did he not feature in the show if he wrote the book....

libuse   10 #280 Posted September 12, 2006 I feel that no matter how often I see that footage it will never fail to disturb me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Greybeard   10 #282 Posted September 12, 2006 I was at home and heard the initial report on the radio, - switched on the TV to see people throwing themselves out of windows and watched the rest of it in a kind of numbed and incredulous daze.  Still feel sick in the stomach when I see snippets of it replayed on TV now, - couldn't watch it again.

artisan   10 #283 Posted September 12, 2006 http://www.cnn.com/video/us/2001/09/12/first.plane.hits.gp.med.html  Of all the films this one shows what a normal day it was, people just going about their business. I wonder if any of those guys testing the hydrant survived the day? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Birth-Peace   10 #287 Posted September 19, 2006 I was in a staff meeting about peer assessment. I came home and couldn't take my eyes off the tv.  It was a terrible thing to watch, something that I think brought alot of people of different countries closer only to be ruined by Bush and Blair later.
