You should argue that substance in another thread.

If anyone needed to be reminded......shame on them!

Sad and angry. All those people lost; and we haven't caught him yet. Can only imagine how I'd feel if someone hurt on of mine, and the cops didn't find the guy.

Sure does......

As an airline employee. I know I won't forget.

I flew out of LGA the night of Sept 10th and looked at the those towers and how awesome the Manhatten skyline looked. (as usual)

4 days later I flew directly over the the spot they stood on the way back into LGA. It was Horrible.

On Tuesday Sept 11th I have a 9:00 am departure to fly out of JFK to Port of Spain. There is no doubt what I will be thinking when I look at the city.

I know I will always remember.

this time of year is very sad for me....i'll never forget those cowardly murdering 'effin scumbags that did this. i still believe we should find and eradicate that whole terrorist organization...in a mosque, behind a skirt, where ever...

There are two things that most people in this country can remember exactly where they were when it happened. This tragedy and the Shuttle Challenger explosion.

Sometimes we take for granted things we have that can be gone in an instant.

sad day in our country's history.how osama is still alive boggles me.bomb them all where ever they are.youngest son and family lived in nyc at time and son was not that far away and saw building coming down.nyc was never the same after that day.middle son had alot of college firemen buddies killed on that day.his brother-in-law a nyc fireman was off that day and was on gw with son when it happened,he was never the same along time after that.get rid of all our rules of engagement and kill them all.

Ask anybody within a 60 mile radius of NYC about that day and they will have a story to tell you,
that either changed their life or someone's they knew.

My wife and i watched the first news report that morning,
and couldn't beleive what we saw as each plane hit a tower, and those towers fell in a cloud of dust.

My son-in-law is a 767 pilot for a major airline and left a NY airport at 8:00 am that morning ,
exactly the same time as the others had, on a non stop flight to Ca. and a full load of fuel.

We waited on the phone with my daughter, as there was rumor that an additional 2 planes had been hijacked and were still in the air.
Trying to keep her calm for almost 3 hours until he called and said he had landed safely in St Louis.

We lost 2 young friends in the towers, one 24 and another 28 and knew alot of others.
The parents of the 28 year old girl are very close friends of ours, and while they have come through it,and i don't know how, they are still caught up in the nightmare.

Most people i know, while not paranoid, keep their gas tanks full now,
as living in this area, close to the city among nuclear power plants, and chemical plants at least want to be minimally prepared.

The old feeling of "being safe" is gone, and the world as we knew it is gone forever.


God Bless all who have lost their loved ones.

I can remember where I was. On a ship half way around the globe, we stopped dead in the water and waited further news.

Shame on the media to give any airtime to any of these Bin Laden videos is beyond me. They should just be deleted or somehow blocked on the internet so no one can view. This just fuels his cause to get all the airtime.
