Low Carb Archive - My God!! Two Planes Fly Into The World Trade Centers!

My heart is sick.

At this point in time they believe it was a terroist attack.

How Horrible!

dottie, check in!! I know you work in NYC, I don't know where, but let us know your okay.

Debbie

THE PENTAGON!!! OMG!

PRAYER and much of it going out.

Please everyone check in.

I am shaking and crying as I write. This is absolutely terrible! We Canadian cousins are shocked and horrified! We really are almost one nation with you folks. God Bless America! We will need it.

Hope Dottie is OK.

I am so sick, my stomach aches, my eyes weap.

I cannot work, I am just hungry for news and answers.

My boys' school is turning off all TVs and will have councilers in place Wednesday. I need a counciler myself.

My prayers go out to everyone touched by this terrible tragedy.

What is this world coming to

jenny :cry:

International flights are being re-routed to Canada. We will look after your friends and children - they are like our own. I imagine the border will be closed. Accomodation will be at a premium. In Ottawa they are organizing billets in private homes as we speak.

I cannot believe this!

My husband is in Boston, scheduled to fly home today at 12:15. With all air traffic stopped in the US, I don't know when he will get home. But, I'm lucky, I know he is okay.

My heart goes out to those with family and friends in the towers in NY and the Pentagon. I'm a DC area girl, I have family and friends who work for the US gov't in DC.

Just heard the second trade center tower just fell. MY GOD!!

Just also heard this very second, that they are aware of another plane that has been hijacked on its way to Washington DC. Lets all pray that that plane does not crash.

OH DebKay, I am so glad your dh is ok. I would bet it may be a long time before flights resume.

jenny :(

just heard that the other hijacked plane has crashed near Pittsburg.

Thank you Jenny, all I can think about is hugging my husband, I'm so afraid for him. He has talked about driving to his Mom and Dad's in the DC area, but I don't want him to do that. I think I would be happier if he stayed in Boston for now. I'm a wreck, my husband does so much flying, I keep thinking what if................

I have had contact with both my boys, now I feel a overwhelming need to get my daughter from school, but I won't.

My heartfelt prayers are out to all folks in the United States today.

What is this world coming to?

My, I am scared

Suzanne

Dottie, please check in when you have a chance ok?

I can not make a long distance phone call...
The loss of life...what a tragedy.
The beautiful N.Y. skyline, altered forever.
My step son is not in the city...what a relief.
My poor sweet young neighbor next door is hysterical and surrounded by family. Her dh called, he works 1 block away from the Trade Center he called and said that he saw the the plane hit and then he said that the building was going down. he hung up and called soon after that he was ok but most likely will not be able to get out of the city until tomorrow.

I just can not believe this, guess I will go see jiff and give some blood and keep checking on my neighbor.

every so often we here fighter aircraft overhead.

makes you want to hug all those around you doesn't it?

UNBELIEVEABLE!!!!

How horrible for everyone!!!! We are watching and listening to this tragic event and find it so hard to believe.....

WE are sending our prayers out and hope that no more tragedy occurs.....

I AM STILL IN SHOCK!!!!!

Patrick's school bus driver called...they are closing his school.(it is closer to the city than we are) I sent dh to go get him instead of him going on the bus. I am just shaking now. I know that he will be ok...I just want him HOME!

Sending out heartfelt prayers that all our Chicks and their families are ok. This is a horrible disaster and I simply can't comprehend the magnitude of it and the long term effects of such a tragedy. What kind of minds can even conceive of such dastardly actions? Those poor, grieving families of the victims. My heart just aches for them.

I am so sick, also. This is so scary. I am 25 years old, but I want my daddy. Here in Okinawa things are scary, too. We are still having our Typhoon, and we are in Threatcon Condition Delta. Which means that me and my daughters are basically home ridden. My husband will be issued a bullet proof vest for when he is out and about and at work. I am afraid if we go to war that he will have to go. I just don't want to think about it. I wish I were back home in the States, eventhough all that is happening there. It is scary being all the way over here in a foreign country during this. I am so sad for all of those victims, and families.

This is nuts!
I just got back from picking up my older son. All of the schools in town have evacuated because of
some type of threat (hmmmmm...maybe they need to use them for emergency shelters..that is thought!!!!)...the little guy is on his way home!

What a long strange day it is!

peach

Hi Peach,

Glad you have your big guy, with the little guy on the way home.

I went home for lunch, from my backyard I could see our school playground. I spied on my boys. They were all running and playing on the playground as usual, totally innocent to the horror of our country. It was so refreshing on this sad day to see happiness and joy. It made me cry to think of the world that my dear little boys are growing up in.

Love and peace to all,

jenny :cry:

This is one of the absolute worst things I have ever heard. I thought my worst day ever would be the Columbine killings. My heart goes out to people who were injured or killed today and their families. I am also in mourning for the nation's general trust and sense of security. I have found myself being afraid and shaky today, jumping at the sound of every car that goes by. I'm sure everyone is feeling violated and scared, even if they live thousands of miles from New York. I want to run and get my kids too, but I won't. I think it's important though, that we maintain our trust and belief that most people are good and not let this event, or other terrorist acts in years past, take that belief from us. For me, if I lose that, they win.

Take care you all,
I hope everyone and their family comes through this okay.

I can only echo what you've all said. I am physically ill, shaking and crying. I brought Michael home from school and paged Stephen to come home from work. Stepson just picked up Kassidy from daycare and I talked to my daughter. I want my family close.

Houston has done evacuations of many of our downtown businesses. Some are voluntary. Most of the schools are allowing early release and some have shut down. The local FBI director held a news conference covering local precautions. Our airports are shut down, Johnson Space Center and heightened security at Ellington Air Field and The Port Authority.

Debbie, so glad that your husband is safe.

Christy, I wish I could reach out and bring you home. Hugs and safe prayers going your way.

Dottie~~I pray you and yours are safe.

I can't stop watching the tv. Isn't there another plane not accounted for? What other horrors have they planned? Unbelievable. One of the news casters made the comment of the connection of today's date with 9-11 calls . Could THEY truly have been so sick to plan it that way?

My heart just aches for all the lost children, wives, husbands, and their families.

God grant us wise leaders who can achieve justice without war.
Please say a prayer for those departed and their families. I join them in their grief. All are diminished by the loss. God bless us all for we the nation is involved in this horror. America has suffered a great loss as one nation and as human beings. God bless and keep the departed souls and give comfort to those left behind.

I guess I am in shock over all this. I can't stop crying today.
I've called my DH about a million times today telling him to come home, they apparently aren't allowing anyone home.
The Boston/LAX flight...is the exact same one I have taken a hundred times, same morning flight, same # most days. When we lived in Nova Scotia it was the only way home to California. Less then 6 weeks ago that was me on that plane with my little ones...
I called my mom first thing this morning, she hadn't heard yet, I was crying so hard she couldn't even understand me. Once I calmed down I said I don't understand why I'm so upset, I never act like this. She said, how do you know how you act in this situation, it has never in American history happened, you can act however you want! How true...
Have an appointment with an infertility DR. Thursday....have to rethink that pretty hard...bringing a baby into this world doesn't seem as good an idea today as it did yesterday.
Say lots of prayers everyone. We all need them to heal!
Take good care of your loved ones and give extra tight hugs!!
Stacey

Oh My Cousins!

I just hung an American flag beside the Canadian one on the front porch. What happens to the USA, happens to us too. We are crying and grieving with you all.

Thank you Ruth.

The United States of America will never be the same!

God bless America.

Thank you Ruth. Our many countries need to be united.

I've been glued to the television all day. Now the bombing in Afganistan. If WE didn't do it...who did. OR was it set up by the terrorists to appear as tho we did it?

I can't leave the television. I am petrified. I can't stop praying or crying.

I am so glad that I can come here with you.

DOTTIE & Others in the New York region. I am still praying that you are safe. I know that it is unrealistic to hope to hear from you anytime soon. Just want you to know that you are in our prayers.

Sue-So very glad that your brother is safe.

McMom-I can't stop crying either. DH was gone since early this morning and didn't know what was going on. He came home to see mascara running down my face and initially treated it as an isolated incident as he didn't understand the severity. He's been glued to the TV for the past 4.5 hours also. We can't know how we would react and it's a tragedy to be forced to do so now. Hugs

gbo~My first prayer was that God would lift our world leaders up, strengthen them with his spirit and guide them to make the right decisions, not the retalitory ones. I believe that only God can guide us ALL out of this.

I'm sorry chicks that I cannot even bring myself to post anywhere else. I keep checking back here to find word of my friends and their safety and emotional well being.

God Bless Us ALL and keep us in his loving hands. Please God give comfort to those innocent people and their loved ones who have been victims to this horrible act.

My day has been spent in front of the tv, watching in horror the unjust acts brought on to our wonderful homeland.

The tears will not end and the worry is incessant.

My darling husband is deployed with the us coast guard and is currently in the Artic Ocean. When the level of threat is hightened in the military, the coast guard becomes a part of the department of defense. When I heard the news that Navy ships were already being deployed out of Norfolk, I couldn't help but let my mind wander in a million different directions. With limited communications, will my darling come home sooner or be even longer? Will his ship be diverted to a different route for their return trip.

My heart and prayers are with everyone who is affected by this tragedy. It is truly the most heart breaking attack on our free country!

Jenniwookie

Jenniwookie-I understand your pain. My brother is a Navy pilot on the USS Constellation. We must pray for all of our military and the leaders of our great country. Today is a very sad day for all, I fear there are more sad days to come.

God Bless!

I heard that world trade building number 7 colapsed. I did not hear about the bombing in afgaastan what is this world comming to. I am so upset. the humor is not there any more. One of my nurses is going to be going down for first aid, and i am stuck trying to cover for her and do all these visits and I am just wrought inside. I am so afraid for the nurse, and everything. it is still hard to believe it although i was glued to the radio all day. I found out that my brother was supposed to be working on the marriott hotels roof that is between the twin towers but he had a dr appt tody and was not there. I can not believe it. thank you all our canadian friends for your support. I hope and pray for al those that are missing family and mostly for all those people who lost their lives. The ones in the buildings, airplanes, and on the ground. my prayers are with you.

Your loved ones are out there to protect us. That makes me feel so small. Thank God for each and every one of the men and women who put their lives on the line for us, may God bless them and keep them safe.

Sherrie

I am just so shocked and saddened by all this I barely know what to say. I have also been glued to the TV all day just wondering what would happen next. Melis and Bry went on the bus at 7 (before I turned on my computer and found out about this). Cody doesn't catch the bus until 8:30. We watched the TV about this from 7:15 until it was time for him to go, he went down the street to stand in line waiting for the bus. I waited 5 minutes and they I went out into the street in my robe (looking so attractive!) and yelled for him to come back home (bus hadn't come yet!). I just couldn't bear for him to be out of my sight.

My heart and prayers go out to all the families, especially the children who have now lost loving parents.

Our lives and the world will never be the same after September 11th, 2001.

I'm sorry I havew been missing all day my server is down and I am using my dh's laptop to sign in. I have been watching all day and my heart is sick. I have been crying non stop and I have been praying and hoping like hell someone comes out of the rubble. i saw both explosions of the WTC and then the news reports of the Pentagon, and I am telling you those images are burned in my mind. I have a very heavy heart today and I wish I could climb through the internet to give all my American friends a big hug. God Bless all of you and I hope the find those evil people who did this..oh god it's all so horrible! :(

I'm bumping this up for us to remember where we were one year ago today.

Debbie

Hi Everyone:
Normally I am on the somercizers list but I want to tell
you all my heart is with you my American cousins.
Today I wore red white and blue, and I will be
attending a service at Toronto City Hall on my lunch
hour.
God Bless America.
Love,
Anne.

God bless you all...

I wasn't on the web last year at this time cause the :bb: was just teeny.

When I read these I could feel and hear the panic in all of you all over again. I remember saying to myself "is this the end"

Huggs and Kisses !!!!!

We shall overcome !!!

Love Leenie

a year ago today, i watched all this from a hospital bed, and i was so taken with the response of the hospital personnel. the hospital itself went on immediate alert, since it's less than 30 miles from nyc.

and these people did their shifts, many of them extended, and then went to ground zero to do whatever... the respiratory therapists, physical therapists, nurses aides, whatever. they all went and did whatever had to be done, whether it was tending to asthmatics or hauling garbage or serving meals.

and then they showed up again for their work shift to take care of their patients, including me. and i listened. and breathed. and worked on getting better.

and today, we assembled in the conference room in the meadowlands of secaucus, which overlooks the entire nyc skyline. everyone there last year watched the whole thing in the distance. and we had a moment of silence. and quite a few tears.

never again!!!!

I'm not sure what I can say. So many emotions are running thru me and I see that quite a few of my chicky friends who posted prior to that time don't seem to be posting much since.

DH left for about an hour or so earlier this afternoon to check on a job and I thought damn, finally ! I can catch up and post NOT ! I read this thread and was crying from the memories. I thank you Deb for pulling this back up. I thought I remembered but realized today what I had lost in those memories.

We spent most of our day at a funeral but (the newsaholic that I am) I had the morning news on before we left. As soon as I watched and listened to the names being read (and here in Houston they did a split screen for Memorial services & Ground Zero) I was torn up. I couldn't help but continue to share grief for the lives that were ripped from our country & their families, but also feel grief for the many military personnel ( and their families) that instantly became our defenders. Defending what so many of us believe the United States of America believes in and stands for.

I made myself watch the coverage. Maybe I can shut things out. But I feel so guilty. Their are so many, many people who are still suffering loss that cannot. It has been mentally difficult. I am sick of seeing the Twin Towers fall over and over again. I am even asking myself - Why the hell do they keep showing that????? But how many times do they see it in their minds? I also keep asking myself-Why did God Bless you more?

Wow, sorry ya'll - a very emotional day. God Bless Us All.

J

I miss susan Taw she was very clost to there i have not seen her post in quite a while. i hope her leg damage has gotten bettter. if you do read this Susan my heart is out to you and all those of you who were touched directly and indirectly by this horrible event!
