Like Yesterday.......

Just sitting here on the puter. Got the tv on and a show on 9/11 is on. Watching the interviews with survivors and with the victims families.....just so powerful and so very sad. Watching the towers fall again I am reminded of how horrifying it was to watch it on television and thinking of all the lives that just disappeared in that moment. The knot in my stomach right now is just like it was then. Hard to believe it ever happened......yet it did. People say to remember??? How can I forget??? Seems like it happened yesterday. To all those of you I did not know 10 years ago here on S-B that lost family and friends.......my eternal condolences to you on this solemn weekend.

Thanks. Its hard to believe its been 10 years. The new tower is being constructed as we speak and is comming out awesome. In the lobby they actually put one of the ctushed firetrucks, Ladder 3 was lowered by crane into the lobby and is covered until the tower opens.

I remember sitting in class at Roger Williams and this goofball came in late like always, but said someone had bombed NYC. People started laughing, they thought it was a joke! Didn't think anything of it until I walked on campus to see many people crying, holding each other. Surreal experience, I will never forget....

Most people never heard much about the boat guys that day.

Boats took a lot of people home/off the island. Not much else getting off the island that day. Remember pics of people, not cars streaming across wall to wall as well.

Absolutely - like yesterday. I was lucky enough to not have lost anyone close but now have a daughter that was bourn on 9/11. She'll be two tomorrow. She will really never know what those of us who experienced it feel on that day but hopefully when she's old enough, they will still be able to talk about it in school with out offending anyone. Not like christmas...
