I was on medication that made me sleepy, I'd just woken up from a nap and put the TV on.
I remember looking out the window at the sky, it was bright blue, just like the sky on the TV, the exact same colour.
I don't actually know what I remember from that day, I think I, and a lot of others, have false memories, eg the footage of the first plane wasn't around for a few days it was caught almost by accident but I 'remember' it because it was shown afterwards in sequence.
Jules and Thomas Naudet were making a film and caught the footage by accident.
Their film (imaginatively called 9/11) is excellent by the way. The documentary they were making was following a probationary fire fighter through training and their first few months dealing with calls.
The 'probie' they are following is never on duty when there is a fire and it's getting to be a bit of a joke that nothing happens on his shift, then the shift is called out to a 'smell of glass' and that's when one captures the footage.
The rest of the film one brother is in the fire station and the other has gone to the towers, they keep filming but not knowing what the other is doing.
The film becomes personal stories intertwined with the events.
It just scares me so much how much hatred some individuals have. Why did these people hate the US so much that they thought it was ok to murder nearly 3000 innocent people
Read some history, the Taliban emerged from the mujahideen, who were funded by the US. No one knows how many people were killed, some estimates are about 2 million.
Then you have incidents like the USS Vinceses which shot down a passenger plane on its way to Mecca. The US gave the sailors medals.
If your family were wiped out by the US you might also hate the US.
