Actually, I was probably 5
I can't even remember the memories well
Then I heard about the pentagon being hit and another plane was hijacked, heading towards the white house.
I just found out the other day that the fighters scrambled to take down flight 93 weren't actually armed at the time since no one thought that something like that was possible, so they were just going to have to ram it, but then the passengers did what they did
All flights were grounded and the jets were scrambled.
Yeah they were ready to ram it with their jets.
Well, my mother became a Christofascist after that.
Or at least I think she was
Then finally... we heard that the passengers fought back against the hijackers and the last plane crashed landed into a field.
I finally breath a sigh of relief because the attack was over, but then the thoughts were, are we going to retaliate against the nation that attacked us. At the time I still thought we were attacked by a foreign nation.
Were we going into full fledge war? Were we going to use nukes? Those thoughts really crossed my mind.
I gathered up my family and headed down to the nuclear bunker that is located in the bank downtown, so many other families were there as well.
The road was littered with cars, people trying to get to the bunker.
Basically that is what happen.
Sorry for the little story.
It was scary, after the shock came the scramble to bunkers.
S'all good. I always find it interesting to hear what other people's experiences were
I wonder if the Canooks will get 9/11ed
Everyone were worried. Everyone was shocked. We knew we were at war, but with who came across our minds.
But I've chatted with Afghanistan/Iraq vets
Some thought it was Russia, others thought it was with China...
I still appreciate their viewpoint and the fact that they fought for a cause they believed in
Lol. China? Don't they have dragon holes in their towers?
I thought it was a smaller nation south of our border.
Even if I think the war was fucked
And continues to be fucked
Every since 9/11. The world went off fucking kilter
Prior still tbh
Cold War fucked things hard
Afghanistan war was original war, the first place we strike. We were suppose to not go beyond that. Afghanistan didn't have a government and was completely controlled by Taliban who were harboring Al-Qaida.
You look back at a lot of the foundation of modern political rot and it started during the cold war
Then Bush decide to let his family's legacy happen, thus he worked towards attacking Iraq.
I honestly think he attacked Iraq to get back for what they did to his father.
Yeah, it also did a lot of good. Who knew that the threat of human annihilation would make the world so much more modern
I'm not sure if the US will ever recover from the social and political hits they took
I blame Bush for being a warmonger who wanted to finish what his father started.
There was no inside job due to 9/11... we were just caught with our pants down because we become used to peace.
I blame a lot of presidents. Including that cunt that allowed the federal reserve to exist
The generals at the time were fired or forced to resign.
