I remember having breakest and turning NBC for the morning's news and apparently a hug 747 had later crashed into one of the World Trade Center Towers. I was confused as to what was going and I'm thinking "how could that have happened?" I later heard about the Pentagon. Something didn't smell right after that. Later when the second tower was hit you know it as not an accident. Again later in the morning, before I went to school I learned of Shanksville, PA's crash in the field. I was actually thankful that nothing else was hit. When I got to school, I walked by office to see that the people inside had brought small travel TVs (about the size of a small crate) with them, they were as glued to the news as I was after I had finished school for the day much later. After I got home I was unfortunate enough to see 7 WTC fall, and I thought "how many more?.." A few nights later, after Conan O'Brien had come back, I saw him give this heartfelt message about everyone on the show acting like a jackass for entertainment purposes, but they took this very seriously, considering they lost some 3000+ New Yorkers alone, even a writer of the show "Frasier". I just find it funny as time goes on, we seem to forget how unified we were. The whole of congress was singing on the front steps, but now we are back to square 1, with the war in Iraq over, we are back to petty squabling among Republicans adn Democrats, its makes me sick. The Dem. & Rep. were behind Bush so much, but now its nothing like that. I wonder how long unity lastes after Pearl Harbor was? After Oklahoma City and the Federal Building bombing, you would've thought that nothing else would've happened, but then again you living in the only and truley free world or nation if you like, you tend to wonder if anything ELSE will happen now.
