I was 6 years old and I was in school and was called out by my father because he had no clue whether schools were targeted or whatever, so I come home and I see the planes crashing into the buildings repeatedly cause the news loves to drill that kinda shit in your head. I remember the panic and confusion, but I could not help how awesome the explosions were. I was 6.

As bad luck would have it, I was flying to NYC on 9/11 and our flight was diverted to Gander airport, Newfoundland, Canada where we sat on the runway for a good 12 hours or so before being let off to spend 3 days in the middle of nowhere. Fun times.

RE: where you on 9/11
 
I had a dream about it 2 days before it happened; so I knew it was coming. Not exactly, but that's when the shrink told me I was psychic, and stopped trying to drug me into the new religion of Zombeism.

Just as in the dream I was awakened by my then wife screaming, 'OMG blankety there's been a crash. It's horrible get up!' i got up, and went down and the first crash had already happened. I was thinking, wow, that's pretty wild, but wasn't thinking anything other than it was an accident. And, then the second plane hit, and I remembered that dream! Then they said the Pentagon had been hit, and I freaked. I thought it was Armageddon! I took out of the house, went to the bank and withdrew all the savings, and emptied the checking! I left a couple CDs in there, but was going back to cash them in if things got worse.

I got back home and the buildings were still standing, but I had the feeling they were coming down, probably because of the dream. Sure enough, they went down, and the first thing I thought besides the horror was 'they didn't come down right. They were imploded' Those buildings were imploded, as I've seen implosions, and there was no doubt in my mind.

We watched CNN all day, and either later that day, or the next Bin Laden made a statement. He was reported as saying he didn't have anything to do with it, but if they wanted to give him credit, he'd take it.

And, they kept showing Bush, while he was supposedly reading a story to a class of small schoolchildren (I'm not so sure he can read, so I'm skeptical). But, they whispered to him concerning the first attack, and he went on pretending to read for seven minutes after hearing the country was under attack! And, the reports said there were approximately 10,000 people employed in the two towers. and the death toll was going to be way higher than just shy of 3000.

That day there were all kinds of survivors saying they had heard explosions, even in the basement areas. But, that was the first day, and by the next the spin began, and Bin Laden's statement disappeared.

To make a long story longer, anyone who wants to think this is some conspiracy nut go ahead. It appears most of the replies from young folks. I was 40, and I remember when they were built in 1976. Who knows? I could be wrong, but I think they might have been built to come down.

It was prophesied in 1948.

Not sure, was November the 9th a school day in the UK?

Read the top comment on that video.

It's paranoia about skyscrapers falling in general not some sort of prophecy.

I was a freshman in high school, and was "talking to" the principal's son. His dad pulled us out of class, and we sat in the library in silence and watched it happen. We saw the second plane hit, people jumping from the buildings, on live television.

I remember just wishing it would stop.

Later on, my drama teacher was desperately calling his friend and who worked in tower one. Fortunately, he was running late for work and got caught in the subway.

My town was also on some sort of lockdown because we had an oil refinery, steel mill, and coke plant within a dozen miles of each other, and the federal government ruled us a top 5 target.

Haha. A fine post indeed.

Nostradamus kinda predicted 9/11, or at least he made references to two towers collapsing amidst fire in the 'new' city. I remember on 9/11 a guy on our flight was reading Nostradamus' book of prophecies and when he read the prophecy aloud I have to admit that, at the time, it was pretty spooky. But in hindsight, it's a vague reference that, given enough time, will likely come true a plethora of times.

Not to join Blank in the conspiracy theory, but come on is it really possible for both buildings of such height to implode on itself within 7-8 seconds? Sounds like a planned demolition they've been concocting since the buildings were created. I would know, my father's a demolition expert. He's retired now, though.

You're one to talk, George W. Bush. I always knew you had something to do with 9/11.

1) Yes, your post totally indicates that you have joined the conspiracy theory set.
2) Planned since the early 1970s? Why did it take so long? Actually don't answer that - I can just look it up on some conspiracy theory site.
3) Your dad being a demolitions expert = You would know that a 30-year plan was in place to blow the towers? Forgive my ignorance (my dad was not a demolitions expert) but you sound ridiculous.

I want to know what you and your dad think of this:

Debunking 9/11 Conspiracy Theories and Controlled Demolition - Free Fall

Actually I don't. Nevermind.
