and the two or three days following.

Having said that, I could be wrong but I believe I remember it. I don't but, I think I could relive that day an hour at a time from 5:30am to well past midnight..

That is a day nor a month I will ever forget

I remember is too well and will never forget from the weather to the scene. I was there and the things I saw will forever be carved in my memory, and 17 days later my fiance died of a massive heart attack and the weather was a mirror image.

What will forever stand out was the day I had to go to the medical examiner and claim his body; was the massive trucks with the remains of many waiting for identification. I only wish I had the opportunity to grieve as others did, instead I remained strong for those around me his family and my friends who were in the towers. Years later I recognized that not allowing myself to do so those suppressed emotions came back to affect me.  

There are so many things I saw and remember but this post would be a book; but I have to say the weather is still what stands out so much in both events sunny the day of picture perfect weather. Then the rain came and it came down strong and the day I put my fiance in the ground which was now October the sun shone so bright I will never forget the weather; it was if it was the calm before the storm. We must always remember and strive to end terrorism which should have no place in our world.

.....where I was, what I did the day before, and the day after.  I assure you, I will never forget.  
Hugs and Kisses

and those that came after it.  I walked into my office that morning and turned on CNBC, which had a picture of the north tower burning.  The tower was so big, the entry point of the plane looked small and I assumed a small plane had crashed into it.  Then they showed the jet crashing into the south tower and it was obvious that it was terrorism.  Then came reports of the Pentagon being hit, after which the reports of the Shanksville crash came in.  I thought, "When is this going to end?"
Finally, the towers collapsed while I was talking with my ex.  I said, "We just watched thousands of people die."
It went on from there, over several days.  So, Willy, when are you gonna tell us the point of this?

First, I'm sort of regretting my OP. Living just 20 minutes down I-95 from the Pentagon, that day was quite traumatic for me, but I didn't lose any loved ones. I think I've fully recovered from that trauma. It may have been presumptuous of me to assume that others have too. If that's not the case, I apologize for digging up painful memories.

I remember 9/10 very well. I was working as a cab driver at the time. That evening I watched some movies with some friends, and had political discussions into the wee hours of the morning. I went to bed at 5 in the morning after having a discussion about U.S. foreign policy.

I remember telling a friend of mine that "Oklahoma City's only happened once because we're damned lucky."

Now here's what I'd like to know. If 9/11 is a day you'll never forget (I know I never will) then how well do you remember the day(s) before 9/11? To the best of your memory, do you recall feeling stressed or uneasy before it happened?

First, no reason to drag Bush into this. Just saying, it's been discussed ad nauseum.

I've said before that I'm quite the fan of conspiracy theories. I don't buy them, but they are entertaining. There was a few reports I read (possibly of anti-Semetic origin) that said some Mossad agents were watching the towers before the attack. But this isn't about a conspiracy, but it may explain why conspiracy theories persist.

There are times in human history where everything changes very quickly. It all happens at once. 15 years ago if I told you that the US would have a black President and dictatorships would fall all over the Middle East, you'd think I was crazy. 35 years ago if someone told you the Soviet Union would fall, you'd think they were crazy too. These aren't local events, but events that change all people on earth. It's as if people suddenly let go of the status quo.

What if you could anticipate the future? I'm not saying knowing what the DOW will close at next week. But be able to instinctually inticipate danger before it happens? Have you ever been in a near car crash, but lived because something told you to slow down? Religious folks may chalk up religious explainations for this, but I don't buy it. Have you ever got the sense that someone was staring at you, only to turn around and find someone is? Have you ever had the feeling that a life changing event would happen before it did? It could be a divorce, or you got a new job, or whatever. You didn't consciously think about it, but instinctually felt it?

What if human beings were, well, to some small degree, telepathic? I watched this the other night, and it blew me away.

pissed in the mouths of dead Mujahideen like my dumbass brothers who let themselves get caught on video did.
