Hey there, guys! Been a LONG time since I posted here.
I’m posting here for one simple reason. A reason which most of you may be able to guess.
Today is September 11, 2011.
It’s hard to put this post into words. It’s hard to describe the feelings felt on that day, but I will try.
September 11th. A day that will live forever in infamy. Most of you were too young to understand anything that happened that day. Most of you weren’t even in kindergarten or first grade yet. For that reason, I will recap on what happened that day.
On 9/11, a plane crashed into one of the World Trade Center buildings in Manhattan, New York City. Havoc was caused. At first, people were unsure of what happened. Was there a bomb? Was it a rocket? Did a plane hit the building? If it was a plane, was it a helicopter, jet, or a passenger plane? Was it on purpose or an accident? Nobody knew… until the second plane hit. While filming, news broadcasters caught the second plane hitting the other World Trade Center building. From that point on, everyone knew it wasn’t an accident. Both buildings were on fire. People were dying. Firefighters and policemen were trying the hardest that they could to save lives and stop the already devastating disaster. It couldn’t possibly get any worse… or could it? Another plane hit the Pentagon in Washington, D.C. More lives were being lost. Word was heard that one of the planes that hit one of the WTC Buildings was definitely a passenger plane. Eventually, all of the planes were confirmed as passenger planes. Then, word got around of a plane crash in a Pennsylvania field. This is the greatest mystery of 9/11. It is unsure of where this plane was headed; was it headed for the White House? Capital Hill? We will never know because of the heroic people on that flight. After the flight was hijacked, they risked and lost their lives to save others by making sure the plane did not crash into its intended target. So the Pentagon was on fire along with the WTC. Couldn’t get any worse, right? Right? Sadly… it could. First, one of the WTC Buildings collapsed. Then, the other.
About 3,000 people died on this day. These people will never be forgotten.
Now that you have a background of the story, I will tell you my personal experience.
On September 11th, I was in kindergarten. By the time the second plane hit, everything went wrong. We, the students, could see the smoke of the WTC buildings from our window. The principal came into the class, gasping, and whispered something in my teacher’s ear. My teacher – who was a tough teacher for Kindergarten, mind you – broke down into tears. We had no idea what was going on, but it was obviously something absolutely terrible. Later on, we were evacuated. My sister, who was in middle school, has a similar story. No matter what, every story on this day is terrible.
I have transferred over the names from Stew’s post to this one. Here are the names of relatives of people in ACP or other CP Armies who lost their lives on this day:
Gord:
Tyler
Hannah
Elaine
George
Annie
Matt
Edith
Glen
F3rrari:
His Mom (Christine)
Gary:
His Dad (Robert)
Thank you for letting me post this here. Because of my connection to 9/11, I wrote a rap about it. There are no curses. Be advised, video footage may be graphic.
Thank you once again.

2ND!
Great post. Really sad story.
i wasent born then
😮
I remember that day. I was in preschool and then in the middle of class, a teacher came into the room and said “The north tower just fell!” Then everyone had to go in the hallway in case something were to happen.
I was only 3 then and then when I was 4 I started to kind of understand what had happened.Today is a day to respect and honor.
i cant believe it… i was only 1 years old but it was so tramatizing.
same here i too was only 1
The tragedy that hit America…
Awesome song,man
Amazing post!
I was less than 1 and 7
My dads old building was five blocks away from the towers. WHen the first plane hit he saw from his office papers everywhere. Then he evacuated he tried to find my uncle my uncle was safe(they worked in the same building) my dad ran towards the towers to help then he saw someone jump and splat right next to him he got the hell out and ran towards the brooklyn bridge. My dad survived september 11, 2001 many others did not I was only 1 1/2 years old rest in peace for those who did not make it. I might add my dads firm he works at now used to be in the WTC.
My dads office was three blocks away but made it I was one going on two rest in peace those who died
I was 6 years old then…
I was in the 2ND Grade at the Blind School here in my state when the towers where hit..
I was only a little kid then, and I witnessed when I got nhome the Footage on my tv.
The Images, of the Towers, the Pentagon, and the Fields of Shanksville.
I could not help my self but cry for thoese people.
I asked my mom & Dad what hapened, and they said, “We where attacked.”
\I never thought their was people who hated the United States soo much.
But, what you don’t know about the North Tower, their was a Blind guy, who saved people with his guied dog.
Sadly, the Dog Recently was put down, because of hip problems and other medicle problems.
My dad was in Brunswik Georgia, with his sister, (AA Member of the ACP American Council for the Blind), and he was watching TV when it happened.
He, my Aunt, and my Aunts Boyfriend, all watched.
Thoese Towers and the Pentagon, and theFields of Pensilvania.

P.S. she is turning the Terrable 2’s on 11/11/2011
I was 1 when it happened. My Mum was at a friend’s house when it was on the news. We are British, and even now my Mum can’t watch footage without crying. She said that people thought it was the end of the world. ACP should come to a hault on this day every year, even if we lose all our servers. This is a day of honour and respect and we shouldn’t let Club Penguin get in the way of remembering those who we lost.

I`m so glad Osama Bin Laden is dead.May the victims of that day live on in our hearts. RIP
“I can hear you, the world can hear you, and soon the people that knocked our buildings down will ALL hear you.” President George W. Bush on September 14, 2001, at Ground Zero.
RIP to all the victims and tribute to their families who are still grieved 10 years later. <3
Never Forget That Day
i was 3 and why isnt was Aunt on the remembered list 🙁 she died on flight 11
my Aunt*
ill foreget that day i realy will boring story yawn later loosers
…Wow…. ^^^
I’ve seen some pretty cold statements today but this might be the worst =\
That`s just plain wrong…
I was only 2 years old when the tragedy happened. My mom was at work when it happened. She instantly called my dad and told him to turn on the TV. He was so suprised at what he saw. Like literally he could not believe his eyes. it was on EVERY news channel i know. My dad did not tell me to come to the TV to see what was happening. that was because I was way too young to understand that kind of tragedy. well ACP thats my story. 9/11 NEVER FORGET IT.R.I.P all those people who died.
I was 2 when it happend and my mom picked me up from daycare.she asked her sisters what to do if it got worse.the oldest sister up in Pennsylvania said to go north but they went nowhere.if it happend now I would’ve suggested to go down to the end of 81 then continue onto 40.
i was only one year old!
I was only, wait for it, 2 years old, safe in my homestate of Wisconsin.
Even though I have absolutely no family relation to the 9/11 victims, I still find this extremely personal and very, very sad.
No violence on ACP chat will be tolerated today when I’m on. I’m not kidding.
-Ema
some people just can’t land planes
I don’t think SWAT could do this post cause they were to busy invading our capital shame on them… But ACP could do this and not fight and make a good post of respect like this 😉
Worst day in American History…I think. Good thing Osama Bin Laden is dead
It isn’t the worst, it’s one of the worst but America has saw worst days
In sixth grade, my English teacher told me she’d been in college on 9/11. Her roommate had been watching the news, and my teacher had assumed it was a movie, it was so graphic. It was only later that she found out it had been real.
My mom was at my preschool, there to either drop me off or pick me up, I’m not sure, when my friend Jackie’s mother came by and said, “You know, a plane crashed into the World Trade Center.” She told me she thought she had meant a small, one-person plane. She hadn’t imagined the severity of the situation.
2,983 people died on September 11, 2001. I, of course, was only four, so I remember nothing. It’s been ten years, and it’s taken me this long to realize the weight of the event. It wasn’t until today that I realized how rarely this happens to America, the last time something like 9/11 happened was Pearl Harbor in, what? 1943? And that was a military base. Never has the USA had such a massive, unexpected loss of innocent life.
Just my thoughts.
-Fox
It was December 7th 1941, my great uncle was there
Umm Fox……
Pearl Harbor was in 1941…….\
Um….. Yeah……
Sunday, December 7TH, 1941…….
Sooo….. Yeah……
I know that from my OCD of Learning….
(DONT Have OCD, but I love History)
1943 was like, the Attack or Midway, or the Invasion of Gwatal conal.
Or even I think, the Year Hitler Invaided Stallan Gra….
Let me give you a time line.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
September 1st, 1939: Hitler Invaides Poland.
1940: Americans Volenteer to go Fight in China for the Chiniese to defend them from the Japaniese. Better known as the Flying Tigers.
1914: FDR starts the Lend Leas Act, where the USA sends Suaplies to England to gain Military Bases. This would help the British to defend them during the Blitzcreag AkA Lighting War of Hitlers Onslot.
Sunday, December 7TH, 1941 Japaniese Air Squadrens, and Naval Forces Bomb Pearl Harbor. Only one Jap Plane shot down by a poilet still in his PJ’s. Flying a P36. An Outdated Plane)
April 18TH, 1942: Colonal Jimmie Dolittle Leads the bombing of JToki. Taking B-25 C Michel Bombers, 16 of them, all off the U.S.S. Hornet.
1943: The Battle of Midway.
June 6TH, 1944: D-DAY! Invasion of Normandy France! Total solders killed are uncountable, rainging from anywhere to 50,000 to maybe 100,000.
July 20TH, 1944: Hitler is almost killed in the Wholfs layer, by Field Marshal Vonstholfenburg. Hitler would survive, and escape with over 100 splinters from the massave table that sheielded him from the blast, when a Staff member, moved the breaf case containing the bomb behind the thick Wooden leg of the Table.
Winter of 1944: The Battle of the Boldge! The 101St Airborn, and the 82ND Airborn is given the name from this battle as, The Battered Basturds of Bastone.
April 30TH, 1945: Hitler, after merrying his long time mistress, Kills him self in the Fuhrer Bunker.
May 7TH 1945: VE-Day! Victory in Euroupe!
November 1945: WWII Ends! After the Japaniese Surrender due to pressure from the public.
After the Bombing in August of Heroushma & Nagasacki, using wepons that should never be used again, the war is ended.

I was in my second grade classroom 10 years ago. That day will always stick in my head. Although I did not lose any blood relatives in this tragic event, I lost 343 brothers. 343 Firefighters died. I am a local firefighter and was honored to ride in the firetruck in the 9/11 parade. I will always remember.
I just wanted to add, that being only a volunteer firefighter, I would have raced into those buildings on that faithful morning. No questions asked. I know some would have said no way, but I would have raced into those buildings along side the many other firefighters knowing very well I might not come home that night.
that’s deep
They knocked us down so we got up and fought back. We killed there leader. they killed our people, we will avenge ourselves and defend theses united states.
i was about 2 back then and not only a lot of American ppl died but at least 24 Canadian ppl died. And being Canadian and all i can still feel the lost for america. r.i.p. to all the ppl that died.
Umm… I had a History Lesson here about 15 Minutes ago…… :/ ?
Anyways….
My aunt almost died in the Pentagon.
She was stuck in traffic, and if it where not for Gridlock traffic, she would be dead.
Gotta love Big Mac Trucks for getting stuck on a guard rail at the right time. Huh?
I still had eys sight back then, and I was watching the event unfold at home after it all ended.
It was all a review.on the news.
And what is dumb, a week or 2 later, some idiot at my school maid a bomb threat!
The guy maid 15 kids cry at my school!
They have anough to deal with and all being blind, and just wistessing thousands die!
He got all of us worked up!
He maid several of my teachers cry! Even the ones who wheere in Vietnam!!!!!
Their is idoiot among us, and they are people like that guy in some ways…
