[QUOTE="L8APEX, post: 16487820, member: 51947"] I've got the same flag that flew 19 years ago out (with its own light). I was in my first semester in college, I had Tuesdays off watched and recorded the whole event on the VCR. When the 2nd plane hit, I knew we were at war.. and friends I just graduated High school with were going to have to fight this war. Then in the slow mo replays I saw it was a 767 (and later 757 at the pentagon, and United 93), and felt sick thinking that several important parts of those planes were built here, and were now responsible for Americans dying. But the first time seeing what looked like debris falling, that as they zoomed in took the shape of a human in 480i, that chose to jump rather than burn to death was chilling. My house was right under the flight path for 19R at ICT and when they grounded all air travel they were stacking aircraft in tighter then I've ever remembered. You'd see the replays of the aircraft hitting the building and at the same time for 45mins - hour the house was getting buzzed by all the aircraft getting grounded. Right above my old house was where they'd go full on the landing flaps and throttle up on final, less than 1k ft above my head. The next week or so of silence, with no aircraft made it hard to sleep. I just wish people remembered how much liberty we gave up afterwards, between the patriot act and Homeland security. We gained the TSA and a much bigger government, and 2 wars we are still stuck in. So many good people lost that wouldn't recognize this country now. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk [/QUOTE]
