Nov. 11th.
0 2017-08-24 by A_R_K_S
So I'm 22 years old & when 9/11 went down all I can remember is that I was most likely in class (if not the principles office cuz I was a bad kid) & that my mom was really paranoid cuz the first people questioned were Ethiopians since our new year falls on 9/11 (no Ethiopians that worked at TWC showed up that day).
Where was everyone & what was the surrounding publics reactions like? I only ask since I watched one of those news compilation videos of worldwide reactions.
Edit: just realized mid blunt I put November???? I'm so sorry if I've offended anyone & to answer someone's Q yes the Ethiopian thing is true; Ethiopia follows the Byzantine calendar so whenever there's a leap year here, Ethiopia has a 13th month consisting of the leftover days that would be used in a leap year in a Gregorian calendar.

I'd gone home for lunch when i saw it. I watched the 2nd impact/explosion live.
I took the rest of the day off.

I'm guessing your boss/es were totally fine with you taking off the day
1 Mecanatron 2017-08-24
I was the boss.. and it happened here at around 1pm so not taking the day at all.

What was work like the next day??
1 Mecanatron 2017-08-24
Pretty normal.
Im mean obviously everyone was shocked but we're thousands of miles away.

So you think 9/11 happened on Nov. 11th?
1 RecoveringGrace 2017-08-24
Don't judge folks that identify with the calendar differently. I've been skipping the month before and of my birthday for years!!

I have no idea what you mean. But ok

Shit, you must be old by now.

Don't remind me.

The second 9/11 was the election of Donald J. Trufinapf.

I never heard that about no ethiopians showing up for work that day. Is that true?
1 John_Lyshitski69 2017-08-24

Yeah if you look at my edited post I kind of explain it quick.
1 A_R_K_S 2017-08-24
Will also say a large number, if not all, were questioned & detained by the Feds cuz that was the only public correlation that was even solid at the first moments of air coverage.
1 EricCarver 2017-08-24
Interesting. Your calendar is different too? So September is the 7th month, October the 8th month, November the 9th and December the 10th?
It makes sense since SEPT is 7, OCTO 8, unsure about Nov, and DEC is 10.

I was chilling at my place - in bed just laying down. A good little buddy of mine (rip) started slamming on my door saying "Wake up! Wake up! We're under attack!!" I said, "Hold on, man. Lemmie get some clothes on." He said "I don't care! Just open the DOOR!!"
I let him in and he was full on in tears, crying pretty badly, and shaken up. I was like "What's going on?"
"We're under attack we're under attack!!"
I didn't know what he was talking about since I don't have a tv. We went downstairs to someone else's room who did have a tv. Saw one building w/a hole in it, smoke coming out, and then boom. Saw them both come down.
People were freaking out around me.
The news was saying it was "radical muslim middle easterners", and I remember the exact thought I had at that particular moment "If it's 'radical muslim middle easterners', then I can understand why they would do such a thing. I mean we the United States have been antagonizing them for so many years. We've killed their mothers and fathers and sisters and brothers - right in front of their faces. That's a horror, a nightmare, a travesty. I know that if I saw any one of the women in my immediate family murdered in front of my face, I would simply make it my entire life's goal at that point to absolutely kill everyone even mildly responsible for it."
Later I found out it was a false flag attack perpetrated upon the American people by the multinational corporate elite with the help of Zionist Ashkenazi Khazars and the Saudis.
Super fucked up planet this is.

I was getting dressed for high school and watching big explosions on television, wondering if they were fact or fiction. Our classes that day were discussions on what was going on, and realization that nobody knew what was going on. Not much has changed 16 years later.
1 A_R_K_S 2017-08-24
That's what some of older friends said that were in HS at the time. The TV's were on & it was discussion day or silent time.
1 casualjane 2017-08-24
I was young and didn't think it was a big deal. We all watched the TV at school. My mom knew what's up, she was rattled and knew it meant war.

The calendar thing mentioned here is interesting. They timed the 9/11 event to happen at the start of their calendar's new year.
TPTB do not follow the Gregorian calendar. I forget the name of their calendar off-hand, sorry.
1 YoungUrbanFailure 2017-08-24
But, some Ethiopians did die in the 9/11 attack...
1 A_R_K_S 2017-08-24
Yeah two individuals who were listed on flights that made impact.
1 YoungUrbanFailure 2017-08-24
What about Eskedar Melaku? Man, it sure is amazing that over 4,000 Israelis and I don't know how many Ethiopians besides Eskedar all got advanced warning about not being at work on 9/11 and not a single one of them mentioned anything about the odd email/phone warning telling them not to go to work that day to their non-Jewish, non-Ethiopian friends and coworkers. Those secretive cabals sure are tight!
1 A_R_K_S 2017-08-24
Never heard that name & I've never heard of this text/email you're talking about.
1 YoungUrbanFailure 2017-08-24
I just googled Ethiopians, world trade center, and 9/11. I'm not surprised you haven't heard of her. I didn't think every Ethiopian knows every other Ethiopian working in NYC. As for the comment about no Israelis or Ethiopians being at WTC on 9/11, it was facetious. I'm making fun of the clearly fake and debunked conspiracies that whole nationalities of people were somehow made aware that something was going to happen on 9/11 and told not to go to work.

Don't worry we have date format the same here in the Uk. I always call it 11/9
