I was in 6th grade english class, (located in Hamden Connecticut...) my uncle lee, was working on the 98th floor of the north tower, and my friend anthony yagovani was in the lower floors with his dad for his birthday. at about 9 oclock the tv was turned on... i happened to be the messenger amongst all the rooms as our room was 1 of 2 rooms with tv's...so i was told to go back and forth amongst several classrooms with written notes from the head nuns... (yeah catholic school... im italian what do you want.) and in the midst of it all i remember like a month ago we as a family visited my uncle for a family office party and started to break down and cry... when i went back to my english room, i noticed a lot of kids were crying (mind you its Connecticut so alot of parents work in NY) so me and like 15 kids were brought down stairs and were waiting for a our parents... soon enough there were parents everywhere... when i got home my mom had stayed tough in the car but when she turned the tv she started sobbing... like 20 minutes after we got home all sitting with my mom we got a call from my aunt lisa, saying that she couldnt get in touch with lee, and everything just turned ugly... i had this disgusting pit feeling in my stomach, and that lump feeling in your throat due to the crying... and my dad got home. my parents started calling all of our family or friends working in ny... my aunt lisa was franticly trying to get in touch with my uncle... but it was kind of accepted that he passed after noon... school was canceled for like the rest of the week, but this was no vacation, and when we got back to school there was a memorial for anthony one of our classmates and his family.... who were celebrating his 11th birthday... 9/11 will never be forgotten in this household and it is a very sad reminder everyday... for all those who cant take this thread semi seriously please dont post... just because you live in florida and it didnt have any effect on you there is no need to post silly shit in here... but you will do as you do so be it.
for all those involved in this tragedy may you REST IN PEACE!!!!
