if anyone says Too Soon they are the devil.
nasty! by tompbeast	Aug 14th, 2006 03:35:28 AM
Bloody hell! I'm glad i never bothered entering my 'scratch' now! well done if that's the right praise for someone recieving horrible wounds and enjoy your plastic shark!
So, where does he work now? by pencil-man	Aug 14th, 2006 04:22:53 AM
Man, I hope he got paid enough. I could never do that. That's one job THIS American DOESN'T want.
well done by BadMrWonka	Aug 14th, 2006 04:23:41 AM
good choice for a winner, Quint. not just someone involved in that horrible tragedy with a broken nail, but someone who actually fit the bill of the contest as well, with a real scar to go with the emotional one. for the scar and for his experience, he deserves our praise and the golden shark as well. who would have known that flipping AICN would bring a tear to my eye. this world is odd...just goes to show you, you never know...
I was going to enter but... by Boba Fat	Aug 14th, 2006 04:51:15 AM
that guy would have made me feel like Chief Brody, secretly checking his appendix scar. Congratulations Hector.
Hey, good on you! by MattCG	Aug 14th, 2006 05:37:42 AM
You got a plastic shark for surviving 9/11! Somehow, it just doesn't seem fitting.
Wow by Evil Chicken	Aug 14th, 2006 06:12:45 AM
It
Knew I should have entered this one by Gorrister	Aug 14th, 2006 06:48:13 AM
Don't know if my story would have beaten the winner, but I have actually shark attack scars on my body. But I didn't enter because they are relatively faint now seeing as the attack happened when I was four years old (and the fact that I had a GREAT surgeon.....my uncle.)
Oh, Congrats, by the way. LOL by Gorrister	Aug 14th, 2006 06:49:40 AM
My whole purpose of responding a moment ago was to congratulate the winner....but I ended up talking about myself instead. LOL. Shows how self-centered I am. Definately a well-earned prize.
Well, earned by pandamaster83	Aug 14th, 2006 07:28:12 AM
I agree. Its just a pity I already got that model in a Toy Story Happy Meal. Except it had a cowboy hat. "Hey everyone, I'm Woddy: reach for the skies"

Congratz Dickhard... by Billyeveryteen	Aug 14th, 2006 09:39:04 AM
Glad you're still here.
Yeah, he deserves it by abominate	Aug 14th, 2006 09:57:45 AM
Even with the September 11 stuff aside, I'd give it to him just for working waaay up there. I'm afraid of heights.
oh well by vanfan	Aug 14th, 2006 10:23:35 AM
The sharks name isnt JAWS anyway. Its a shark without a name
WTC by Praetorius	Aug 14th, 2006 10:31:49 AM
I'm glad you're finally recognizing the true heroism of September 11th which seems to have mainly gone unnoticed in the media until now. Thanks to Harry and the gang for making sure that no one ever forgets that horrific day in history for even a nanosecond.
Yes, the shark does have a name by Gorrister	Aug 14th, 2006 10:39:25 AM
It's "Bruce". (Seriously)
I should be dead, but i owe my life to one man by JeanLuc Dickhard	Aug 14th, 2006 11:26:08 AM
I would have been dead i know this for a fact. because i would have been on the roof. my story is crazy but i'll let you know this part right now the aicn talkbackers will get a kick out of this, i owe my life to Dario Argento. you see Suspiria was due on dvd that day so i was taking a break of sorts to go pick it up because i wanted to hit the nearest store really quick when they opened so that i could get back to work and when the attack happned i was in the lobby. any other day i would have been on the roof trapped with no way down.... so my love for dvd's and suspiria i owe my life to....
a winner that we can all agree on by durhay	Aug 14th, 2006 11:49:12 AM
Nice addendum to his story, i.e. "P.S. I also received a toy shark from AICN. No foolin'!"
The Whole Story By JeanLuc Dickhard by JAGUART	Aug 14th, 2006 12:19:56 PM
Muslim Extremists slammed two airliners into our side, chief. Over 50,00 Americans went into the towers. North Tower went down in 182 minutes. Didn't see the second plane for about 17 minutes. Boeing 767-222 . One hundred and sixty footer. You know, you know that when you're in the scaffolding, chief? You tell by lookin' at the number on the tail. Well, we didn't know. `Cause their terrorist mission had been so secret, no alerts had been sent between the CIA and the FBI. Huh huh. They didn't even list me overdue for a day. You know the thing about a terrorist, he's got...lifeless eyes, black eyes, like a doll's eyes. When he comes at ya, doesn't seem to be livin'. Until he jihads ya and those black eyes roll over white. And then, ah then you hear that terrible high pitch screamin' and the world turns red and in spite of all the pleading' and the hollerin' they all come in and blow you to pieces. Very first light, chief. The relief workers come cruisin'. The wreckage trapped us into tight groups. You know it's... kinda like `ol squares in a building like a, you see on a calendar, And the idea was, the rescue worker would go for nearest man and then he'd start poundin' and hollerin' and screamin' and sometimes the EMS guy wouldn't go away. Most times he would go away. On Wednesday mornin' chief, I was lying next to a friend of mine, Herbie Robinson from Cleveland. Maintenance Worker, Squeegee's Mate. I thought he was asleep, reached over to wake him up. Bobbed up and down in the rubble, just like a kinda top. Up ended. Well... he'd been cleaved in half below the waist by a plate glass window. Noon the 2nd day, a Caterpillar 950G start to pick rubble up around us and about three hours later a big fat 1996 Mack/Saulsbury HME start pulled up and a young EMS, a lot younger than Mr. Knowles here, anyway he saw us and come in with the jaws to cut us free. You know that was the time I was most frightened? Waitin' for my turn. I'll never put on a safety harness again. So, 50,000 Americas went in the buildings, 47027 come out, the terrorists took the rest, Sept 11th, 2001. Anyway, they delivered the oil.
"Shark still looks fake..." by iamnicksaicnsn	Aug 14th, 2006 01:04:19 PM
Congrats!
Good story juxtaposition... by abominate	Aug 14th, 2006 02:35:21 PM
...with Quint's tale of the USS Indianapolis. You can plainly see from Hector's pictures how happy he was to be working there :) seriously, hat's off to ya
JAGUART... by Harysuxafat1	Aug 14th, 2006 02:36:14 PM
Tasteless but funny.
Re: Tasteless but funny. by JAGUART	Aug 14th, 2006 02:43:00 PM
Yea, I really debated posting that but I was compelled because of the idea. So I apologize in advance.
jaguart i liked your story alot by JeanLuc Dickhard	Aug 14th, 2006 02:48:36 PM
good job man .... oh i did love working there it, there is nothing like it in the world... damn the stories i have... and in the picture i look upset you have to understand its very bright up there hard to look normal but i loved it.
JeanLuc by JAGUART	Aug 14th, 2006 02:58:33 PM
Well thank you sir and congratulations. You're a lot braver than I am working up there. Thanks for sharing. Sincerely, Jag
And for your suffering, a shitty little shark toy.. by stlfilmwire	Aug 14th, 2006 03:42:59 PM
Enjoy! I'd say you earned a few.
ROCK AND ROLL! by WolfmanNards	Aug 14th, 2006 03:52:10 PM
They should let thrill seekers read govt. memos, so at least somebody can show up in advance for these things.
Wow by Darth Thoth	Aug 14th, 2006 04:04:42 PM
Props to you Hector! Well deserving. And great job on picking the winner Quint. Good stuff.
He didn't need a capper to the story to win... by GrandMuffTarkin	Aug 14th, 2006 04:51:27 PM
...but that probably is the best capper regardless. 'Suspiria' and Argento saved my life. Awesome.
I say he's lying..... lots of people are window washers by Spiderhulk	Aug 14th, 2006 05:10:07 PM
Just cause he has a picture he did it on the world trade centre on that one picture... doesn't prove he was there sept. 11, I say liar.
what's wrong with this story. by Windowlicker74	Aug 14th, 2006 05:32:35 PM
Only in movies can you get launched by an explosion and not get burned; in real life, it is the heat wave that launches you through the air, and burns you severely.
Shark looks fake. by Christopher3	Aug 14th, 2006 06:59:06 PM
And fat.
Shark vs WTC by Darth_Baltar	Aug 14th, 2006 08:35:58 PM
Personally, I think having a WTC momento is worlds above having a bad Bruce replica
JeanLuc Viagra by Darth_Baltar	Aug 14th, 2006 08:43:23 PM
PS. Hector I love your screen name, frickin hilarious! ...and congratulations on getting through all of that, be it luck, perserverance, or providence. Moments like that tend to define us, and you seem to have a good perspective on it all! Kudos
FUCKING WOW. by butnugget	Aug 14th, 2006 11:59:32 PM
POS plastic shark for that. And yes, tasteless but hilarious monologue Jaguart.
What's better than winning a shark for surviving 9/11? by MrCere	Aug 15th, 2006 12:10:59 AM
Not being in the Twin Towers when they got airplaned.
I should have entered this contest. by mrfan	Aug 15th, 2006 05:13:38 AM
I have deep emotional scars. They hurt everyday and the weight of them slow me down. I think I might have won if I entered. Deep emotional scars are the worst. Sometimes they run too deep.
everyone's favourite by Windowlicker74	Aug 15th, 2006 07:33:05 AM
is back and jabbering! hail America lol. that window cleaning joke was funny though, even for the second time around. next time he's back with whole new set of hilarious one-liners..
WTF!?!? by Jammer	Aug 15th, 2006 09:35:02 AM
You survived 9/11/2001, all you got was that fucking piece of plastic that looks like the monster from Jaws?!?! You got robbed, baby!
I may be wonderful, but I say you're wrong Windowlicker by Gorrister	Aug 15th, 2006 10:23:57 AM
It's not the HEAT wave that causes someone to get hurled through the air. It's a CONCUSSION wave. Not all explosions generate large amounts of heat. Grenades are a good example. Sure, in movies you see grenades explode with huge fireballs, but it doesn't work like that in real life. Visually, grenade explosions are less impressive, but anyone caught in the wake of the concussion wave is going to get pounded like a bitch.
Christ... by DocPazuzu	Aug 15th, 2006 11:43:15 AM
...I was hoping that surely in a talkback like this the conspiratards would have the decency to give their shit a rest, but noooooooo. Congratulations, Windowlicker, you may not have said "TOO SOON!" but you are most definitely the devil. On a side note; congrats, Jeanluc -- on surviving and receiving a rubber shark.
Here is picture that can't be taken anymore by JeanLuc Dickhard	Aug 15th, 2006 11:47:58 AM
This is a picture from the very top of the trade center, not the view that the visitors get, i'm talking about the very tip top of the roof http://tinyurl.com/llzv8
EXPLOSION IN THE LOBBY!?!?!?!?! by FleshMachine	Aug 15th, 2006 12:23:57 PM
ok not be a friggin hippy lib scumbag (im not)...but how is that possible from the impact of a plane near the top of the building!? the elevator shafts do not go from the top straight down in those towers..you have to switch elevator at some point. I call SHENANIGANS!! Seriously somethings up with that..even the firefighters heard "several" explosions. Some have tried to say that kitchen equipment blew..but that doesn't sound very plausible...everything in the building was designed to withstand huge frigging earthquakes. But whatever...glad he won Bruce.
to clarify... by FleshMachine	Aug 15th, 2006 12:28:38 PM
i dont doubt his story at all..i just think there must have been bombs or something.
??docpazuzu calling me a 'conspiratard'?? by Windowlicker74	Aug 15th, 2006 01:19:49 PM
What was that supposed to mean? I don't even give a crap about 9/11 let alone making up conspiracies. really, that shit is typically American. The rest of the word just went on with their lives. I think the talkbacks are getting to you man. leave them alone for a while and go outside or something.
You win. by Squashua	Sep 15th, 2006 01:12:50 PM
No text.
