9/11. I haven't forgotten.

dont get me wrong for what I'm about to say cuz I feel sorry for all the people that have lost a loved one or friend on that day - 9/11.
but what & why are we making such a over the top special rememberance about the people that died in the 9/11 attack ?

is it because of a terrorist attack or our homeland being attacked ?......it hasnt been the 1st time! theres several others.
how come theres not as big of a rememberance for those that died in the oklahoma city bombing ? or is it because their lives werent that special...are the new yorkers more important ?

is it because of the fire/police/1st responders/etc... that have died that day ?.....what about all the ones that have died in the previous years & future.......dont we already have holidays to give thanks & remember the fallen service folks ?
when was the last time someone said something to remember a fallen soldier thats on the front line ? instead of someone that was at work & just in the wrong place at the wrong time.

or is it because of the innocent citizens that died that day ?....well what about all those other people that have died from criminals that might of been prevented by our govt....just like the blame was thrown upon our govt for not stopping 9/11.....why didnt they stop all those other crimes ?

lets not forget all the people that died in a airplane(727/747 ?)that went down in NY bourghs less than 1 week after 9/11 & the news was on it like flies on shit thinking it was another terrorist attack....only to find out it wasnt a terrorist attack, so it didnt matter & the lives lost wasnt that important, so that story fell by the wayside really fast.

again dont get me wrong, I feel sorry for those that have lost a loved one or friend, & go get those bastards for attacking us.
but I feel its a over hyped holiday to forward our govt agenda.
remember its not the 1st time that terroist group has attacked usa soil (usa soil can be all over the world!) the previous POTUS never took action.

in short what makes those that died in 9/11 more special than any other person that has died ?
 
thought go out to every single person who lost someone that day, even (i in no way condone the actions one bit) the families of the extremists that committed the actual acts. and before you all have a go let me explain, every race, religion has it's extremist it's just that some take it to a new level, am sure that the families of the few brainwashed fools will be mourning the lose of there sons.
there will always be weak people out there that can be brainwashed into believing the bended truth that they are told, i mean how many weird cults are out there at the moment? all it takes is for their leader to just tip over the edge of insanity a little futher and the lot of them could be coming to a town near you.
governments use fear and the extremists/cults use the government to brainwash.
whether it's a lone gunman, a nutter going berserk with a knife or a bomber killing hundreds remember they had families that as well,
what if you sons or daughters got brainwashed into crap like this would you be calling them to the dogs, maybe but you'd still mourn the lose.
so thoughts go out to families everywhere
 
I didnt even bother to read the thread, as assumed political BS.

I woke up to frenzy'd reports and billowing smoke on the Towers..and just before the horror...

I watched the news go insane..then watched the 2nd plane hit on live TV while news anchors cried on the same live TV....I'll never forget it. It's frozen in my mind forever.

Click the link in my sig..all you need to know.

I have that link there 24-7 on many sites, and have since 9-01.

If ya dont cry a little...you should.

I made damn sure that simple vid shall be online forever.

Remembering that day..I'm shedding tears even now....

You can't imagine the psychic impact...I FELT them all die. I actually collapsed on the floor at the time of the 2nd impact and just cried out....noooooooo...

I know a bit of how things work..I knew one boom whatever the cause..horrid, but two.....fueled by a 747 going 500mph....it's a V3 all over again. Nothing would live.

It's a kind of horrible to think of even now.

The weight and sound of those 3,000 souls screaming will always be with me.

When the towers fell, something died inside.
 
I was in Manhattan that summer. Just 2 months before the planes hit I walked on that ground...

The morning it happened, I was sleeping when the first plane hit. I woke up hours earlier then expected with a weird sense of dread (honest truth) and saw my roommates huddled in the living room watching the news. My friends NEVER were up earlier then I. It was a very weird feeling in the air in our place. We sat on that couch for nearly the whole day. Didn't make any food, couldn't take our eyes off the tv.

I don't think any of us strung together a sentence more complicated then "wtf" and "is this shit real?".

I'll never forget that day.

Then I won't bother to read your post as assume that it doesn't relate to the previous two pages of posts that we've already established. :lol: ;)
 
I was on early shift that morning....So for me to get up at 4am it was only an hour after the 2nd plane hit. I heard it on the radio as I was driving to work and was totally stunned. When I got to work, the security guards had the TV on and I just sat there for 25 minutes watching the horror unfold.....I walked down to my workshop and must admit that I had a little cry......You can't not cry when faced with that number of deaths.

When I finished work I went straight home and just watched the news channels all afternoon and night......(pay TV)

It was a pretty hard time for me cause I had a good friend who worked in one of the twin towers......She sent an email out to everyone that night saying she was ok..........She didn't go to work cause it was her birthday.......Can you believe that.....
 
I remember that day still quite well..I was at work it was just before the 9:30 break and an elder at the plant jean guy told me the US was under attack by terrorists..I laughed at him and told him he must be high on his meds again lol..I came home at 1st break put on CNN and my jaw just dropped.I couldnt believe what I seen..It totally blew my mind..I went back to work stunned by what I just witnessed..By now it was all the talk at work then lunch rolls around I went back home and stayed glued to CNN as long as I could and after work came right home grabbed a beer and stayed glued to CNN for the rest of the night..All my sympathys to all involved...My views are the movie loose change says it all but no matter what anyones views it was a tragic day and for all involved..In the end should have never happened....In my mind we havnt heard the last of this and I hope im stone dead wrong
