ok, no kidding around, we all know what this thread is about so where were you when you heard the news 5 years ago?
well i was in 7th grade then and i didnt find out about it until i had gotten home. the school decided not to tell us about what had happened but one of the 8th grade history teachers was watching it in class all day. after that i guess i just spent the rest of the day sitting in front of the tv watching it. until (seems like i was an ass but still its how i am) i decided that they continue to rehash the same information every 5 minutes with no real improvement in learning what had happened. i do remember that my buddy and i joked about setting up anti-aircraft guns on top of our houses but then thought about donating blood.
its always facinated me what happened in the minutes inside the pyroplatic cloud and to see the photos from within the cloud and its scary and interesting at the same time. it looked like being in a nuclear winter but a bright, sunny day.
anyway, thats my two cents on this whole thing. so i would like to have you all share any stories or thoughts about this.
Note: wayne, BP, or anyone else known for this (including me) political thoughts or bashing of anyone will not be tolerated (Al, if you would do something with anyone that does such a thing). but most of you will probably not do anything like that, but at least its stated
