Re: 9/11
Had just returned to Atlantic Canada from Portsmouth NH after the first tower hit. Had we delayed a half hour, we would have been stuck on the ground...

Downtown Toronto, one of the most high profile office buildings. Cleared out. Massive traffic jam out of DT -- at 11AM. People were scared.

I was in my last year of highschool, they put it up on the televisions in the hallway as it was happening.

Re: Where were you on September 11th 2001?
I had just started teaching a recurrent ground school session at a hotel near the airport. I got a call from our operations desk asking me to get to the ER centre ASAP. It took 90 minutes to get there because the police were searching every person and vehicle trying to gain access to the airport area. Everyone in the line was milling about near their cars. Some were silent, some were chatting with acquaintances, some with complete strangers. More than a few were wiping away tears as they came to realize the depth of the tragedy from news reports on the radio. I didn't sleep well for many days thereafter.

Re: Where were you on September 11th 2001?
I already answered your question. It did not benefit Israel. You’re starting with a premise that Israel wanted this to happen and are trying to make the pieces fit.
Yeah, Israel and Iraq weren’t exactly friends but it’s all about the devil you know. Iraq was strategically and militarily impotent in the wake of the Gulf War. The words “power vacuum” and “Vietnam” were all over people’s mouths in late 2002 as the war drums beat... how much more so in the Mossad?
Syria was as a result of the spillover of the Iraq War. Considering the huge comedy of errors and unintended consequences of the entire Middle Eastern sojourn it borders on the edge of the impossible that Israel would have planned 9/11 to give cause to invade Iraq (even though the two events weren’t at all related) so that an insurgency taking advantage of the chaos of the Arab Spring would destabilize the Syrian Government so the Israelis could intervene militarily.

Geez did I say that....? Or just think it....?

What does this have to do with where we were on Sept 11?
Re: Where were you on September 11th 2001?
I was in high school and heard the news of a plane hitting a building on my drive to class. In the time it took me to park and go inside the news had gone from curious to serious (I think the second plane had hit) and I remember finding out when my friend in the seat beside me said, “It’s on every channel right now. I think the Cartoon Network is probably even drawing it.”

I'd be surprised if anyone reported a different location this year.
As an AvCanada discussion grows longer:
-the probability of 'entitlement' being mentioned, approaches 1
-one will be accused of using bad airmanship

Re: Where were you on September 11th 2001?
Came back from a 4 day overseas trip the night before.
Tired as hell.
Wifey wakes me up at 10 am in a panic watching the news downstairs. I was still in the fog.
It took me about 2 hours to make sense of it all, but hey I am slow.........
Changed the world. Sure has hell changed mine. Company went caput of course, found out by reading a newspaper that i did not have a job anymore.
It is what it is.

Wife was feeding #2, woke me up. I said those are great graphics, second plane hit the tower, wife handed me the football, then went and barfed. My thoughts were "DumbF@#$ just took the gloves off"
