"that day"

yes, it's september 11th again. a tuesday. the day it happened.
like when j.f.k was shot, everyone remembers where they were when it all happened. i hadn't turned on the tv yet & had just turned it on & saw the news report. i thought it was an accident, the towers being hit. i had heard just a couple of weeks earlier that small planes were having trouble with their gyroscopes or something & were crashing. i couldn't imagine that anyone would do this on propose. i was wrong. as a guy on fox news said: "these bastards knew what they were doing"
we had both televisions on and were going back and fourth between new channels & my brother and i would relay info to each other and our parents. "a plane hit the pentagon!"a plane hit the ground in pennsylvania" "a tower fell!" "now the other one has gone." it got to be too much & we turned the tv off for the rest of the day. some radio stations had the sense to go back to music & one said "the only thing good about today is the weather" network news anchors stayed on the air for days. it wasn't necessary IMHO. nothing wasn't said that couldn't be said by the back-up guy. my brother said that poor peter jennings fell asleep on the air.
almost immediately the conspiracies started. some ridiculous things that i won't repeat here. the worse part, is that these people tried to shove their theories down our throats. for the longest time on youtube there were all of these 9/11 conspiracy vids. some tried to trick you into watching. others said what they were. i watched a brief one once. a guy misspoke in an interview & said a missile hit the pentagon, then he corrected himself and said a plane did. big, fat, hairy deal! he misspoke! this is not "proof" give it up already! i don't think this is "helping the terrorists" but it's not helping anyone else either.
there is some good from this; people are now dooing good deeds on this day, but you should do that every day IMHO.
