11 years

A few days away from 9/11, 11 years ago.
Little to no news or media coverage about the anniversary.
Have people forgotten already ?

LETS GO BRANDON

Maybe not on the major networks, but there have been a lot of documentaries on cable lately. Most were repeats, but there were at least three new ones on Destination America (if you get it) the past few days. (The Falling Man, The Woman Who wasn't There, and Surviving the Impact) There are 9/11 shows on CNN, TLC, and Nat Geo right now. It is sad though that I haven't seen much mentioned on the nightly news yet, and haven't really heard people talking about it much.

Never Forget. I have watched most of the programs on tv and it never gets old. Some are better than others. The loss of police, fire and civilian lives is sickening. I went to N.Y. for a few funerals and it was the most somber days of my life. Ground Zero was and still is breath taking, actaully bone chilling.

I remember it clear as day. Was sitting in class when a student came in and told everyone. People thought he was joking. I will never forget walking out onto campus and seeing people crying and comforting one another. It was a surreal scene. Went to school with a lot of kids from NY/NJ. I'm sure I will feel it even more when I am sitting in class tomorrow...
