Now that the day has past...

I want to say something...

The Uk media stinks, they hardly ran any articles to remember what happened that day...!

Did we forget already what happened that day...?

Six years to forget...

indeed, it was a sad day.

May the souls of those who lost their lives on 9/11 and the 7/7 london tube bombings (i know this is a different day, but terrorism is terrorism) find peace

my son was born the day before the attacks on america. the following morning i called my brother in cyprus to tell him the good news and he asked if i had the TV on i said no he said turn it on and put skynews on. i turned on the TV changed the channel and just caught the 2nd plane striking the tower live...i will NEVER forget where i was or what i was doing that day



god keep safe all those that died that dreadful day.

The weekend after 9/11 (I think it happened on a Tuesday), I went to Home Depot and bought a river birch that I planted in my back yard as a tribute to those that had died. That tree is now quite a bit larger and beautiful. We put my daughter's little outdoor table and chairs in its shade where she has tea parties with her dolls.

If we ever move away from this house, I'll tell the new owners about the significance of that tree.

I have cleaned this thread of any and all political discussion. This topic is not meant to be a political discussion, it is meant to be topic to remember those who died in this tragic even. To treat the thread as a conduit for your political debate is an insult to those who died. Be whatever opinion you have on the 9-11 event, this topic is about the loss of life that occurred and is a marker of respect to those who died.

May they all rest in peace.....I remeber that day like it was yesterday....

Watched the first tower on fire and then how the second plane crashed to the other one......

I think everyone in our generation remembers where they were when they found out, personally I was in work when word came round and the whole 150 employees in the office stopped to watch the updates on the internet in a state of disbelief.

No one will ever forget or forgive

yeah god bles all of them

I was 9 years old at the time me and my parents got home flicked the TV on and I personally thought I was watching a movie until well yeah the towers collapsed.

May they all rest in peace and bin laden will be caught when day its just when is the question...

i disagree on that... robin is on topic the post clearly indicates that a symbolism with the tree and how it relates to remembering the lives lost that day. i think what hes getting at is that when we where attacked that we where small like a seedling and that after we where attacked our nation has grown not so much literally but metaphorically with increased patriotism and sense of community....



i remember where and what i was doing when i found out.
freshman year in high school i was in a small classroom about 20 other kids and where taking some standardized testing requiered by the state... it was about 10:30am and a ta shuffled into the room and had an odd look on her face. she told the teacher conducting the test something that made him drop everything he was holding (was a big stack of paper).
we all knew it was big cuz he lost all color in his face... thats when the test stopped and the instructor turned on the tv in the room.... to this day i am still speachless as to what exactly i saw that day on that little tv something that no one word could ever sum up, i could feel loss you knew there where people who where already dead. and you knew that each person knows someone is a freind to has a family has loved and been loved they where not simply faceless beings they had names like ours and they had goals, dark sides and light sides..... forever ingrained into my mind their lives now lost to the living but their spirits live on in the pages of eternity.
