are you talking about august 1945, when the USA murdered 200,000 civilians in Hiroshima and Nagasaki by dropping atom bombs on them? i wasn't born yet.
or maybe you mean the days when the USA murdered 250,000 civilians in Dresden and Hamburg by firebombing them? I wasn't born then either.
Perhaps you are referring to the million Iraqis murdered by Americans since 2003. But that doesn't qualify as a 'day', does it? Nor does it seem to be over yet: it will go on and on for billions of years, thanks to uranium dust. And because the world keeps turning,that uranium dust will be here too soon, to do its dirty work here as everywhere else.
As far as I know, the world is still turning, despite these dreadful deeds. Perhaps for you it has stopped. Did you lose your little job? Did your wife run off with the kids and take them to stay with a succession of boyfriends who helped her clean out your bank account? Come on, tell us - when did your little world stop turning? don't keep us in suspense!

I was letting my dog in the front dog...turned around and glanced at the tv as they announced the first and the second one hit....I was also in shock and glued to the tv all day...Alan Jackson did a good job on that song, guess steelyard never heard it <shrugs>

I was at work at a title company- looking for files in the next office to mine. I thought it was an extremely tasteless joke at first. My boss didn't seem to care about what was happening- her biggest problem was she couldn't go to Vegas on the day she planned, then yelled at me when one of the companies clients, a mortgage brokers actually asked why he didn't get his paperwork from Chase Manhattan Bank!!!

I was at my brother's house - watching my nieces while my brother & sister-in-law were doing some daily errands.

i was at a camp grounds we were having a family event an it was the fact we had brought a portable tv with us for the little ones to watch tv if they didn't want to play every one was there watching our little tv there were over 40 people at our camp site that day

i saw it stopping and didn't do anthing. i don't want a war in iraq, but i do still want revenge

i saw it stopping and didn't do anthing. i don't want a war in iraq, but i do still want revenge \ the last flew over my house, i wasn't there

thank you for the comments. keep them coming. 911 was a traumatic time.
Thanks so far for the reflections. As I said, this is all for a 911 remembrance speech I have to prepare. All your prospectives will help me shape a very meaningful tribute. eric111 and steelyard , you're entitled to your opinions. That's what makes America great. But I'm sorry to say you've added nothiung to the basic question. I'm looking for insight and many have provided that. I answered first and for those who have responded Thank You. For those who are still to respond I welcome your comments.

For a moment in history, I thought the world had stop turning, but I was aware that somehow it did not stop turning. Here in South Africa people were shocked in disbelieve. Everyone was glued to the television. September the 11th was a terrible day for the world and for America. This horrific terrrorist attack has shocked the world and brought a nation to its knees...........

I was in the shower trying to get ready for work and was late I couldn't believe what I was hearing and seeing
