murraysovereign Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Where were you on this day? Â I was in Squamish with two good friends. We did not know about it until later in the evening. Crazy. Â I was also in Squamish, waking up to CBC Radio news reports of planes hitting the WTC towers, then of the collapses, and on... By the time I got out the door to head to the store, the sky overhead was full of great looping contrails of passenger jets stacked up waiting for a space to land at Vancouver. Â Friend of mine was alone in her Cessna, flying from Calgary to Grande Prairie when a radio transmission announced that all North American airspace was closed, effective immediately, and that she had something like 20 minutes to land at the nearest airstrip, so she turned and headed for a small club field somewhere near Rocky Mountain House. No explanation, just an assurance that all would be made clear upon landing, and that failure to comply with the order to land could have dire consequences. She was pretty freaked out, trying to think what could possibly account for such a radio message, but none of her imaginings prepared her for the news she received upon landing.

He leaves it up to the reader to decide whether or not he's using satire effectively. You, OTOH, blatantly state the candidate's attempt at singing a tribute is tasteless. That's an entirely different brand of "humor." You are being a douchebag about this anniversary in every conceivable way that you possibly can. Please give your bold attempts at humor a rest for just one fucking day, will ya? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sobo Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 I heard about it on the radio on the way to work that morning. When I got to the office, everyone was in the conference room watching it on TV. The Towers had already collapsed by then (0800 Pacific Time).
