In Remembrance of 9/11

[Winston]

Nothing much to say, except that I will never forget the images and emotions of that day.

So I will post 3 of the pictures I took on 20 June, to give an idea of what the site is like today.

I remember seeing the planes crash on the afternoon news, thought it was to bizarre to even be a bad action movie. Horrible. RIP.

[Pekka]

yes, unrealistic scene it was indeed.

THey are all in good place now and the perpetrators will be punished, at the end.

What were we all doing when we first heard?


I was a second-year med student, and we had just finished our first AM lecture. On my way to the infectious disease labs, I passed a small knot of our professors standing in a hallway looking at their pagers. By the time we were sitting in lab, a number of my labmates had gotten calls on their cell phone, and a few rumors were flying around. Our prof told us what he had read on his pager, that an airliner had hit one of the WTC towers. Then, his pager showed the news of the second airliner, and class effectively ended.

Someone had set up a small TV in the computer lab, and myself and my two housemates watched in horror. We decided to head home; during the 15-minute drive back to the condo, the towers came down. When we got home, my ex-fiancee was lying on the couch, still in her pajamas, transfixed. Apparently her mom had called at about 8:50 and said, "We're under attack," and hung up. I think I watched CNN for about the next 20 hours straight, and finally broke down in tears when British Parliament started session by singing the Star-Spangled Banner.

I was getting out of the shower whne tuber told me about it. We spent the next hour as i got ready for work watching the news. I was leaving the house when the towers collapsed. Funny when i got to work no elective surgries were cancelled. I do remeber the o.r. director calling the reservists into her office to have a talk.
