I was in junior high when it happened. They stopped the class and wheeled in a big TV for all of us to watch. We sat there and saw the second plane fly into the building. That was one of the few times I've cried that I can remember.

RIP to all those who died on 9/11. Thoughts are with their loved ones.

I was 16 when it happened & was in my first full-time job. I remember just going on a break after the second tower collapsed, everyone was hudled around the TV in the canteen. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. :shock:

My thoughts are also with the first responders still suffering through illnesses from the toxic dust. They were all heroes. :salut:


I watched the memorial ceremonies today.

WE WILL NEVER FORGET

God bless the United States of America. :salut:

From England.

It's nice to see a foreigner paying respects to the victims of 9/11. Most foreigners I've spoken to put down the US, saying it was just a matter of time until it happened.

I've met one person in the past who used 9/11 to mock the USA & that made me very angry! :x :x :x

These foreigners you've spoken to who put down the USA over 9/11, have they considered for one minute that perhaps some of their countrymen were victims in this tragedy? After all I believe it was over 90 countries that lost citizens in the attacks. There's no need for anybody to show disrespect & put down the USA over that darkest of days.

Some people believe it was staged, or the government knew about it but did nothing. The fact that their countrymen died for a "staged event" just to make people feel sorry for the US (or for whatever reason the event was "staged") is why they're upset, and I'll admit that I would feel the same way. But nothing I've read or seen makes me think it was staged.
Only dictators kill masses of their own people to make a point, why would the US do the same?

Yes, I do remember 9-11-01 that was 10 years ago. It was very, very sad. :( But, the good thing we do know that Osama bin Laden was killed by Navy SEALs. :D So we watched "Good Morning America" news today.... whoa it was so long hours! :?

Ahh yes, you're referring to the "Truth Movement." I've read some of these conspiracy theories & one of them is completely ludicrous - the so called "no-planes" theory! Nutters!

I continue to believe the US Government's account. :)

Great news when the Navy SEALs did a "double tap" on Osama Bin Laden. :D

Another vile human being that will hopefully be wiped out will be Col. Gaddafi. Reports are the SAS are tracking him down. :D :wink:

That's the way it's looking. It's only going to be a matter of time now. :D
