I still remember like it was yesterday. I was away on a 2 month vacation in Europe, sitting in an internet cafe in peaceful and relaxing Venice Italy. I was reading my email and of course reading GFY.

All of a sudden a post came up on GFY saying a plane crashed into the WTC. What shit I thought. Thinking it was a joke, a real sick joke I moved on to read another thread. Then I noticed another post, and another, and another , and another.

This was no joke. Posts were coming in like crazy about a plane crashing into the WTC. Then pics were being posted.

I tried to get more info by going to cnn.com but the servers were overloaded, and cnn along with EVERY news website i could think of was not loading in Italy.

I went back to GFY to get more info on what the he;; was going on. Then another post comes up and says ANOTHER plane hit the other Trade Center Building. Up to this point i was silent and calm. After reading about the second plane, seeing pics on GFY and then reading rumors of other planes down and explosions at the pentagon I stood up from my seat and told everyone in the cafe what was happening. Internet cafe's are packed with tourists, many American. Some bitch in the cafe told me to shut the hell up and didnt believe a word of what i was saying. I still remember her bitch voice saying "yeah right asshole" as i told people in the cafe.

There was no proof of this, only GFY. Everyone in the cafe was trying to get access to some news website, and like me they failed. The ENTIRE cafe was on GFY. EVERYONE.

The bitch and several others thought GFY was some hoax website and were becoming vocal against me. My wife being the tough cookie she is stood up and (and if you know my wife) put the bitch in her plave with an earful till she shut up.

Refresh after refresh we were reading gfy for our news on the other side of the world as to what was going on back home.
It was like a bad dream. We ran back to our hotel and turned on the tv. Couldnt understand any of the language on the TV but saw pictures that said a thousand words.
Later we found British CNN on one of the chanels and we spent 2 of the 3 days of our Venice Vacation watching TV.

IT is a day Ill never forget, and I still cant believe GFY was the News source of Venice Italy for the short period of time this news first came out.

Reading some of the old GFY posts from 9-11 sure brings back lots of distrubing memories.
