I was in middle school when 9/11 happened. I’ll never forget the eerie silence throughout the whole class as we watched the towers fall. My home ec teacher was in tears, and we just couldn’t fathom what we just saw. Then the panic set in when we heard the Pentagon was hit. They let us out early that day. Flight 93 was nothing but heroes. RIP guys. We will never forget you 🖤

[@joannewilson1162]

I was 21 at home with a toddler and I called my parents in tears. They didn’t know what was happening either. We were all crying. It was horrible

[@Terahnee]

I was working late swing shift at Nestle so I was still asleep, and I was living with my parents. My sister was also home and let me sleep until the first tower dropped (ie. the second tower that was hit). She had gotten the call from my parents at the airport that my dad was fine as he hadn't yet left for his meeting at the WTC later that day. We watched the second tower fall (ie the first one hit) and just sat in utter shock. I worked at a shipping and distribution center and even though all our deliveries were via truck and train, it was still a mess for weeks with the precautions that were then taken. I had also started the process to cash out a 401K from a previous job just prior and by the time the stock exchange was re-opened, I'd lost half of it. Small potatoes compared to the loss of lives that day and since, but, I still remember that.

[@rachelpeters9438]

[@VillianRagnarsson]

[@BenMan8881]

I didn't even directly hear or see anything of the 9/11 attacks until after I got home. I was in 2nd grade music class when the first plane hit. My school had 2 music teachers at the time. One for K-4 and one for 5-8. The teacher for 5-8 came into our classroom and I remember her looking pale, like something terrible had happened. She said something to our teacher, who equally grew pale. No one else really overheard what the 5-8 teacher had said, but I remember hearing "plane hit..." But, the K-4 teacher put on a brave face for us youngsters and class continued as though it were only a minor interruption. We then went to church, my school was a Catholic School, and we always went to church on Tuesdays. That was when the veil was lifted, but not entirely uncovered. We were told that there was a terrible, evil act of hatred being committed in our country that would affect all of us, and that we would have to spend recess in prayerful silence, rather than playing. We, being kids, groaned, but mostly complied. It really wasn't until we got home that we fully realized what happened. We returned to school the following day very different

[@glowhoo9226]

Wanna know something crazy? There was a man who survived BOTH nukes. He survived the Hiroshima bombing, went to work the next day or so, told his boss what happened, and his boss thought he was lying.

I think Jan 6th made the intelligence and military communities of the world "stand still" not necessarily average citizens.

I was 16 when it happened. It was indescribable and still is. Everyone was just in utter disbelief. It was so surreal. I remember feeling like I would never feel safe again. It gave me bad anxiety for awhile, wondering if/when something similar would happen again. However, as horrible and nightmarish that day was, Americans all over the country came together and volunteered and did whatever they could to help. There were thousands of people, standing in long lines, waiting to donate blood. Countries around the world showed beautiful displays of sympathy and compassion for us. And none of it felt fake or forced or done for show. You could literally feel them sharing our disbelief and sorrow. There's a stark demarcation in time: there was life before the attacks and then...there was everything that came after. As horrific as it was, there were massive, global displays of love and solidarity shown to the US. And monumental acts of courage and resilience as everyone pitched in to help in any way they could.

The Challenger Disaster was caused by an eroded o-ring that made it so there wasn't a proper pressure seal in one of the rocket motors, causing it to explode at the higher altitude. Apparently it was looked over so it wasn't fixed, and people paid the price with their lives.

[@jeanninepetriel7114]

It wasn't overlooked. When they were deciding whether to launch that morning, they were told that it could be too cold to launch because the O rings could fail if they were frozen. The launch committee's groupthink overruled the engineers because they thought it was more important because of the publicity.

[@kat_m1075]

@jeanninepetriel7114 you're correct on that (used wrong wordings in my comment) and the fact it was too cold so the o-rings stiffened, causing them to fail, but they were also eroded and they caused blow-by, plus it was only the ones in the shuttle's right solid rocket booster. If it was primarily caused by the cold that day it would've been all the o-rings, not just the ones in that SRB. And yeah they were pressured to do many flights a year (around 24), which led to unsafe launch operations. Like the JFMM (Joint Fleet Maintenance Manual) says, "the safety and technical requirements became secondary to operational commitments." The Challenger Disaster, the USS Thresher (SSN 593), and the USS Iwo Jima (LPH-2) are 3 examples in our Quality Assurance/Maintenance program (JFMM) to show how import QA is, even with the smallest pieces of equipment. The Challenger happened because of an o-ring, the Thresher happened because of a piping failure causing flooding in the engine room which led to the ship being lost, and the Iwo Jima was because of incorrect bonnet fasteners placed on a root valve in the engine room, which when it got to a high enough temperature with the steam, causing the valve to blow off the pipes, killing 10 watchstanders.

Id probably add the day Saddam was finally captured by US forces. I have only ever seen my late father pray twice. Once, when mum's platelet count was below 10000 and we thought she was going to die. He begged. The other, was when Saddam was captured. Now, im an Indian citizen but he was born an Iranian subject, and was an Iranian citizen at that time. Many scores of Iranians had died in the war against saddam, many to poison gas, as had many, many more Kurds. He cinsidered a victory for humanity. Worth remembering.

[@BillyBall35]

Timeout. What's a platelet count?

[@rustomkanishka]

@@BillyBall35 platelets in your blood. They're there to stop you from bleeding to death too easily. They're supposed to be at a minimum of 150,000 per microlitre of blood. Mum's were dangerously low, and had she had a small cut on her skin or a hemorrhage in her brain she could have died. Faulty platelets is what causes hameophilia, the disease of inbred royals where every small bruise or wound starts gushing and is really hard to control. The condition is treatable but not curable.

I grew up in NJ, about 30 minutes away from Lakehurst. The garages they put the zeppelins in are so big, they rain inside. They’re incredible.

That base is on the road between Rt. 571 and US 70, which I used to go past all the time in the late 90’s. It was just ominous by then.
