lol! Very true.
Is this thread about where you were when the 9/11 happened?
For me it was strange. I actually didnt find out about it until days after it happened. I was offshore the Congo for the duration, when we came in to backload cargo and embark more cargo and water for the oil rig, I went ashore for a few beer and to buy some neccessities.
Wandering through Pointe Noire I came across a small bar that wehn I looked throught the window had a tv playing what looked like die hard, I was about to look away when I noticed it was cnn with replay outlined in a red box. I went inside and thats when I found out that 9/11 happened. We had no idea. That being said, all the french speaking people in the bar were laughing about the americans getting attacked. Congo is a french speaking ex colony that is still heavily influenced by the french, with lots of french nationals working there in the oil industry.
I went back to the ship and called home over sat phone and found out from my family what happened.
