9/11 Memorial Thread

[UPINTHEMGUTS]

jumping seemed like such a good idea  

Are you serious with that comment?


Those people decided to jump rather than be incinerated and burned alive. Imbecile.....

A close friend of mine had his uncle as one of the firefighters that died that day. I  was only 13 at the time, and still remember it vividly. Our teachers look like they saw a ghost when they heard what happened and kids were being pulled out of school left and right, we all had to gather in the church(catholic school) and they tried to explain something happened. I remember literally everything was cancelled that day, from my football practice to some 70 year old checkers league. Everything stopped that day, even though I was about 8 hours away in PA. RIP to everyone who died in the attacks and as a result of the attacks.

I am fucking disgusted with the filth liberals here trying to start anything in this thread, rather than mourning the loss of the people who died.

I was living in DC area at the time... after the pentagon was hit the city shutdown, all traffic was diverted out of the city that day.

For the next week, the military was all over the city controlling traffic, I remember seeing Hummers everywhere, on sidewalks, in the middle of roads.  My 20 minute commute to the university took 1 and a half hours that whole week.  You guys remember how everyone was on edge, no one had any idea what the hell was going on!


I remember I also traveled exactly one week after 9/11 from DC to Florida.  Right when the crew shut the doors to the plane, I remember the captain came out of the cock pit and addressed the passengers, he said something to the effect of "I know that everyone is very concerned about what has been happening, but I want to assure everyone that today you are all riding on the safest aircraft in America, we have been taking new security precautions and this is the first flight to see these new measures implemented"  - everyone applauded him, and we were on our way.


Was very sad the whole thing...  Really can't blame Americans for hating Arabs/Muslims after this!

Everyone has their own feelings but I disagree with this BigAch.  The Americans or anyone else who hates arabs or muslims because of 9/11 are ignorant bigots at best.  Anyone with half a brain can easily see that this act was done by a small terrorist group and the actions do not represent the muslim religion or arabs. 

[calfzilla]

Also want to say 9/11 was very sad for me especially thinking about all the people trapped in the upper floors of the WTC towers.  Just beyond sad.  With that said I don't feel we should respond to hate and killing with more hate and killing and senseless invasions of other countries that really are no threat to us.  Just resulted in more deaths of our brave soldiers and civilians.

I wish everyone felt the same way you did.


I'm not saying its right, but I'm saying I really do understand when someone can direct their frustration like that.  And I'm Arab! lol

I was down there 3 days after the attacks and remember the stench on Canal Street. 

Was a terrible time.   

Went to the memorial recently and they did a nice job a the memorial.

The Newseum (Museum of News in washington DC) has a whole section dedicated to the events of 9/11 really very emotional to walk through it, but good for people to see it so they can grasp how tragic the events really were.

You're assuming Americans liked Arabs/Muslims before this.

I like peace as much as the next guy, but peace doesn’t just happen.  We do have to fight for it.  Iraq was an idiotic blunder and the US will pay the price for that for years, but the invasion of Afghanistan and routing the Taliban was a necessary response to 9/11.  Do you disagree with that?

Those images from 9/11 are horrific and remind me of when I lived in the Mid-Atlantic and New England, but out here in California I hardly ever hear anyone talk about 9/11 anymore.

More people probably die per year in the mid-atlantic and Cali from violent crimes than died on 9/11. But NY with their endless self promotion won't let you forget.

If the same incident happened to the Sears tower you wouldn't be hearing about it as much.

I feel we only have to fight a war if we are in bondage, if we have an immediate real threat or if our friends are in serious bondage (and even in many cases we don't help!).  So to answer your question Bay, no I don't think invading the country of Afghanistan was necessary.  Possibly some targeted missile strikes but no need to invade the country which cost billions of dollars thousands of American lives and the lives of innocent civilians.  Afghanistan is not like the US and many countries, it does not have a strong sense of nationalism, as we know it is a very tribal land.  So the idea of invading a country that is so diverse and divided made little sense.  Not to mention how bad previous wars in this country ended, the terrain is just a wasteland, ask Russia.   I don't want to write an essay here, but yeah I do disagree with that.  Even family guy joked about how none of the hijackers were from there how it did not make much sense to invade that country. 

And like El Diablo said people die in greater numbers and in different violent ways and we don't harp on it for year of even make a big deal about it as it's happening.  Look at the inner city violence in Chicago or DC!  Also look at Syria, will there ever be elaborate memorials for those people dying right now?  Sadly 9/11 is continuously brought up to get support for whatever said company or politician is peddling.

New York has the biggest number of assholes per capita than any other US City that I've been to.   If it had to happen to a US City, then New York was pretty much the best place for it to happen.

Fixed your uneducated spelling for you. I am not even gong to attempt to fix the grammar errors. Typical American!

The wool has been turned over your dumb eyes. You really think a bunch of backward Muslims - some who turned up alive after the fact - were able to fly those planes into the buildings? Really?? It was an inside job without a doubt.

[quadzilla456]

iran should be made into one gigantic whore house exclusively for the western free world to participate.
the entrance will be paved with tons of qurans.

The Western free world?? Which is soon to be Muslim itself at the rate Europe and the US is going. You've been had. The West is being pitted against Islam by design. But there are too many morons in the West to understand this. I think even the Muslims understand it better. They know the game of divide and conquer.

Hey, Not all Americans hate arabs or muslims - remember your talking about the good friends and business partners of your former president George Bush.  Bush was the premier American contact and agent for the Saudi family, the Bin Ladens. In fact, this relationship was so tight that whenever George Bush traveled all those many years to the Middle East, he passed over the many fine hotels in Saudi Arabia...always preferring to stay in the bin Laden family palace.
