Hey my fellow eAustralian's my name is EmperorEvo and today I will be telling you about my story and 9/11.
My story is nothing special I wasn't in a tower or a plane or even in the U.S.A I was just a little kid only 3 years old and I remember waking up turning on the TV and see planes on every channel now I was shocked BRUM and the Telly Tubbys weren't on I went and asked my mum why planes crashing in to buildings were on every channel and now that I am older I have listened to my Nannas story as she was up and got the first new flash at 11:00 PM and watching until 4:00 AM as she saw first hand history be played out in front of her after the second plane she knew it wasn't an accident.
As I get older I went threw a stage were in was a joke we found it "funny" I have grown up and every time I watch it I get quite tense and Get shivers up my spin it effects me it is hard to explain I have such a big appreciation for everyone involved I also struggle to see how you can flying over New York knowing you the pilot a Terrorist is going to kill thousands of innocent people no matter what there government has done.
I may not agree with Americas Government or dispute there wars but I deeply feel for the people the innocent people that died on that day.

Its one of those memorable events that you will always remeber what you were doing when you heard about it. I was in teh kitchem listening to TV in next room when I heard the breaking news. I went in to look and for about 3 hours I was too shocked to do anything but watch.
Yeah i remember channel 10 crossing over to live pictures just after Rove Live (Yes. Rove was a popular show back then)
At first I though it was just a plane crash into the building. Then the second plane hit and then relized it wasnt a unluckly plane crash.
I just got home after my first days of high school. The first thing that came to my mind that this is not true it can't be happening. How the hell can anyone do such things in a country like the U.S.
Well I did not get my answer yet and probably never will.
I was 37 when that happened and my first thought was that the USA would start nuking Iran and Syria and Iraq and Afghanistan. After the initial shock it only took me seconds to realise that fanatical Islam had been behind it. I have seen many shocking things but this even topped the shock I had back in 1989 when I saw the Communist Chinese slaughtering tens of thousands of innocents, all because many Chinese had woken up to the fact that democracy is the only decent possible form of existence. Like every other person my age or older I always wondered to what happened to that great brave man who stood in front of those tanks, of course I needn't wonder too hard. the commies got him and killed him of course.
Darkness and despotism and fanaticism are cancers in our world and there will be more horrible days like Beijing 89 and 9/11 to come, that is beyond doubt for there will always be someone who is 100 per cent evil, people who simply do not have feelings of remorse for anything, in fact there is a medical term for those kind. The world has ALWAYS been like this, we are not a special generation in any way shape or form.
It may be hard for younger people to get their head around but the world has seen days worse than 9/11 by a large magnitude. My grandparents generation saw hundreds of days worse than 9/11 as WWII was a catastrophe unlike anything since. Just go and ask a Carthaginian if things have ever been worse. Good luck with that, to meet any Carthaginian you would need a Time machine back to the 2nd century BC because the Romans completed a 100 per cent genocide of that entire race of people. The Black death was beyond any doubt the very worst thing that has ever happened to humanity on a whole. One Third of the population of Europe perished and incredibly every 1 out of 2 people in England died HALF the population,, can you even imagine that catastrophe, because the scale of it is simply beyond me, surely they did believe the last days were upon them.
