A good account Joeiss and told from the heart, this really is the 'Where were you when JFK was shot' for our generation isnt it.
My account, here goes.
I was sitting at school merrily posting on Gametavern in a free period, it was near the end of school (GMT) and I was thinking of going home when Neo posted a topic 'Two Planes Hit World trade Centers'. At first I didnt take this seriously, a freak accident, what do the trade centers look like, where are they. To my horror and dismay, I soon found out and the image of those buildings was forever emblazoned upon my mind. I tried to go onto all the news sites I knew, Cnn, sky news, BBC, all were running very slowly, completly overloaded. I was so worried, then came a little bit of news, 'people in Afghanistan seen celebrating' thats when I knew this was no accident.
Worried at this I decided to stay online to see what happened, a plane crashed into the pentagon, fighter planes deployed albeit a little late but it was necessecery for the moral of the citizens and who knows, something else may have happened if they werent.
Then, one of the towers collapsed, the second this happened I knew tho other one would go, I waited with a numb feeling, lo and behold, it did. By this time I was real upset and angry, it was a weird feeling, I ran all the way home to watch the telly. I switched on Sky news to see a plane crash into a building, then another, then it showed the collapses. I was very upset, thousands of people just died before my very eyes and I was powerless to stop it. Then came anger and wrath. I was that close to dropping everything and joining the army so I could kick some arse. I was and am still now very vengefull, if Bin Laden was in front of me now he would be dead in a second. Thats why I have no pity for those killed in the bombing, bomb all the bastards thats what I say. I knew things were going seriously bad over there when they blew up those ancient buddahs carved into the cliff faces, saying it was offencive to islam, blowing them up was offensive to buddhism for the love of god.
I watched that telly all night and for a few days after, the same image over and over. 1 month passed, as I was starting to calm down and come to tearms with it, a plane crashed into a residential area of New York, 'an accident' people said, but I am still unsure.
One last comment, this is considered an attack on america but it has affected me so much I feelit is also an attack on me and my emotions so I am just as upset as you. And I live thousands of miles away. We grieved as one, we fight as one and we will win as one. Well done to you american fighters and well done to our boys (UK) out there on the front line as I write.
Nuff said.
