*Fellow Gametavern'ers, this post I have made may or may not contain comments that seem biased or unbiased. Due to my past, you have a narrowsided view of me. If you can't look beyond the fact I consider the other consoles equally, then the loss is on you.

I still remember what I was doing when I heard.

I think this date will go down in history just like the landing on the moon or when Kennedy was shot.

I was in high school in Manhattan when it happened. Our principal was actually trying to keep it from it. We had to listen to our own radios to actually find out what was happening. The bastard. Didn't see any of the images until I got home late that day...quite difficult getting home too...so few trains were running. And then a day or two later school reopened and I never experienced a commute that silent before. I actually never even passed by Ground Zero until a month ago accidently.

I was sleeping when 911 happened. Then I went to jazz band at my timezone's 7 am and I was hit with the first of many babbling idiots who tried to describe the event to me. The day was completely normal but as time went by more and more people got overly sympathetic about it. By the next day all the newspapers were filled to the brim with 911 material and still things weren't clear.

Sure, I accept it was a bad tragedy, and I feel some level of sympathy over it, but not as much as other people.

Same. I tired of hearing about it. Which is sad that the media can take something like this and drive it in so hard that you don't feel anything about it anymore.

I mean, 50 years from now are they still going to be on the news saying: "Today we reflect back upon the tragedy of 9/11..."
