Bill, the way I do it is while looking at the image hit Crtl + PrntScr. Then I open up Paint and use the paste option and from there you can save it as a .jpeg and crop it. Didn't mean to jump over Manson answering but I am anxious to see what you have got for us.

Ok, give me a little bit to try this, I am computer iliterate.

No worries, man. We all gotta start somewhere.

np Sarge. I'm on a Macbook so I use an app called "Skitch" (Mac only).

But for Windows Sarge has pointed you to the easiest way.

I also have enjoyed your posts a great deal and look forward to any others you wish to post. They've renewed my interest in this tragedy. Thank you for sharing once again.

My friends, it is people like you and Sarge that make it worthwhile to do this. There are several other people that seem genuinely interested in this event, and they outweigh the dumbfucks like that vanityfair bitch.

They fail to realize something, when they make a mockery of this event, and say it was all faked, that keeps their feeble minds from accepting that it did happen, and can happen AGAIN. We can only hope it is their dumbasses they end up taking down with them.

I love these types of pictures.

Hey, I'm still here and very interested. I guess there isn't a huge need to communicate through PM or email so I'll ask my main question here because I haven't been able to figure it out yet. Why were you down there that day?

I'll just take it one question at a time I guess, no reason to interrogate you. When I first saw this thread I thought it was long dead, didn't know it was still being updated regularly.

Can't wait to see what you're going to screencap for us.

[Billthegravedigger]

Learned the screen cap, now I need to work on transferring it to a savable format. It keeps popping up as a invalid bitmat file.

Yeah, I will talk to you you. I'm sure the asshats at let'srollanotherjointspikedwithLSD will say I am full of shit, but I really don't care. Fuck 'em.

[Codemonkey3]

Once you do "Ctrl+Prnt Scrn" and paste it into paint go to "files" or in the newer version it's the blue tab above the clipboard. And select "Save As" and you'll be able to name the file and pick your preferred format.

If you have any more trouble I can make a picture tutorial to help you.

Alright, so again first question I have is why you were down there and can you tell us a small summary of what happened to you that day? As detailed or rough as you want, we of course appreciate details but it's up to you how much you want to share. You can omit anything sensitive or private, names, events and so on.

Ok, where to start ?

I had a friend that worked in the North Tower at an investment firm. Wont get into the names too much, his family still has a hard road to go because of dumbshits like the "Let's drool crew", and they still get stupid shits saying rather coldhearted things to them or in their presence and I do not wish to add to that.

Started as a "road trip" I guess you could say. Had talked to Todd a few days after the 1st of September, and told him we were coming that direction. As you can guess he was rather proud to work at the WTC, and rightfuly so. The guy was very intelligent. He was a friend that I looked at like " This guy has his shit going for him, he's a hard worker, has a good heart, and can take his life anywhere he wants to, what does he see in ME that has him consider me a friend ? "

That was just Todd's nature though. I am sure you have seen people that glorify people after they have died, but it wasn't that way with Todd, he was a good man before and after death. He had been working there about 6 months, and said he would still get confused about the WTC complex because it was a city within a city, but I think that was more of a joke.

I don't travel much, and never really liked big crowds. Todd was a friend though, and since we were going that direction, I overcame my feelings about big crowds to see what hand life had dealt him. He would have done the same for me.

We stopped at a hotel we could afford on the Jersey side overnight. We wanted to make the time count and left out early. I am very dense at times, and little sleep makes it even worse. After getting turned in circles a bit, we made it to Lower Manhattan, around 8:15. There were so many things to see, we did not know where to start. We went down into the lower levels under the WTC complex to the various stores.

Todd was going to meet up with us at 9:15 am to show us the sights and sounds of the complex. While down there, a sound like a blevy explosion radiated through the complex. Not being sure of what it was, I was skeptical when someone said a plane hit. New Yorkers see all kinds of shit, and have seen just about everything you can imagine, and for that reason I was skeptical. I thought a plane hit ? Why is everyone not going apeshit ? Some looked worried, others acted like it was no big deal.

More and more people were saying it was deffitnetly a plane, and a shop keeper started handing out disposable cameras. He knew it was going to be a big deal, a historic deal. He told people to take all the pictures they could, and I listened. Not sure how many others took him seriously, but I did. They started getting people out as quick as they could, and started sending people up the stairs to higher levels.

BANG


BANG


What the fuck ?


BANG

"It's bombs, they are trying to kill us all !" said one person. People were starting to freak out after that.


BANG
BANG
BANG

" That is no fucking bomb. " Said a man.

" Well what the fuck is it ? " she asked.

" Not sure, but it's no bomb. "

Boooomm!!!!!!!!!

" That was a bomb !! " he said.

People were really uneasy now, then a person said it was another plane. As you can imagine, there started to a different feeling in the air. Now it was no accident, it was intentional.

BANG

Bang


They kept getting louder the futher up we went. Starting up the stairs to the plaza level, people screamed and jumped back. That is when I knew exactly what we were hearing. As we were getting closer, some were not really aware of what was going on. You could see the plaza out the windows, and there was debris everywhere. A woman was kind of puzzled looking out, and a cop told us not to look out the windows. When someone tells you something like that, what is the first thing you do ? You look out.

If there was any doubt left, it quickly vanished.


BOOOOOOM




Right before your eyes, you see a man explode on impact. His blood came out in a mist, and parts went everywhere. We were all kind of stunned, and did not have time to process what just happened when another hit. The ones that hit further out were the same EVERYTIME. The difference was there were several people that hit right beside the towers, and their blood kept spraying the windows like spraypaint. Each one added another "layer" to the windows. Some did not want to realize what they had just seen and were in shock. A heavy set woman landed between the musicstage and facade and covered almost 3 windows.

Just when I thought it could not get worse, a pregnant woman hit. She landed right hip first, and exploded everywhere, along with her unborn child. After that, things got really fuzzy. All of it was horrible to see, but seeing that baby explode that way has fucked my head up. I remember being in some sort of a daze, shock, whatever you call it. I remember coming out at ground level close to the towers, but not right at them. I looked up in time to see a man hit the corner of the Marriot Hotel and explode, though his limbs hit the concrete with enough force to still be felt about 50 feet away. Then another, and another and another. After seeing a couple more fall between the North Tower and Marriot, my brain went in to autopilot I guess. All of it was so fucked up, it took my mind off of why I was there to begin with. Todd.

Walking away from the WTC complex, I was worried about him, and had no clue what happened to him. After both collapses, I did not have to wonder anymore, I knew my friend was dead.
