9/11 I was at the twin towers one week before

5 years ago, one week before the twin towers i went past in a bus roughly the same time the 2nd tower was hit, had this attack happened one week earlier i shudder to thing, and hearing about it a week later when i was back in the UK, sent shivers down my spine, so many people died, words cannot describe the events of that day.

Most important thing is we cannot let it stop us going about our daily life.

If that's your claim to fame, I feel sorry for you.


I was merely posting my memories, what makes you think it was a claim for fame, you could have just ignored the post, anyway if there are other threads out there i am sure this can be merged, p.s i know who neg reps me lofty so you can't hide behind your ID.

My old bosses nephew...pulled a sicky that day, he didn't know why (he worked in the towers) he was feeling fine but didn't want to go into work. He lost ALL of his colleagues.

Whenever there's a disaster there's always weird stories like these.I remember watching a programme once and they said that when a plane crashes more people tend to miss it/not get on it(like 5-10% or something...)...
My brother was actually on a bus to go to the Towers in 9/11. Then he asked why the bus didn't come, and someone had said that planes had hit them. He was really lucky. If he had went 2 hours before....
