September 11th is here and one can't help but feel a little somber as the memories from that horrific day come back. I have family and friends in New York and have several connections to the event from a friend who escaped from the first tower to a friend who was there helping in the clean up the day after. I myself was there 3 weeks before the attacks and took, what at the time was a pretty good photo, but now it serves as my best memory. I would like to share it with every body.

I totally agree on the chills part. Tinkling going up my back and through my arms. This is almost an omenious shot. If you look at the seagulls.

I wish I got to see em. I went to NYC 2 months after September 11. Most people were afraid to go near a plane, especially one going to NY, but I wasn't going to let some terrorists get the better of me. I flew all the way from Australia, as I had been planing to do for a couple of years. I did go to GZ, and what you saw there is really just so sad, there is nothing to describe it.
One memory I have though, is of normal people going up to a cop and getting their photo with him. He was a hero, and they were just so proud and honored to meet him.
So many sad stories came out of it, yet there were just so many good ones too. |

i too was at ground zero about 2 months after...we probably passed one another...it was so quiet and eery. I have never heard NY that quiet before. The long procession down the sidewalk to get a glimpse...

I was born and raised in NY. One of the hardest things for me is that I never visited the world trade centers.
Those of us in the East were greatly affected by this tragedy. I knew someone who lost their life (on one of the planes) that day, as did many others. One child in my son's class lost her dad in the towers. I can only imagine the families that have to relive that moment on anniversaries like today. My heart goes out to each and every one of them.
It will be a tough day to get through .
Here's a gallery with photos from WTC before and after.

We should maybe think about all of those who lost their family when Afganishtan was made an target, ...
This was tragic...
Have a nice day people, maybe this would be the next "thinging day"?

Administrators should probably lock this thread as I can see it is going in a bad direction. To say we are saddened by the event of 9/11 is not to say that we don't care about the people who died elsewhere.

You know.. after such a tragedy.. what harm can do a simple, little, tiny forum....
Let people say whatever they have to say... good or bad that is, I am afraid that it will not change what happened.

I agree...making this into a "Rant" thread was not at all my intent when I started it. This was just for rememberance purposes (not political). This is already a hard enough day to deal with for a lot of people, it doesn't need to be made any worse. Thanks!

I remember being at work that day, and picking up a paitent for shortness of breath at a skilled nursing facillity. She was watching television and told my partner and I what was going on. She didn't want to leave, so we put her on high flow O2 and watched with her for a few minutes. I saw the second plane hit....

In the months following 9/11, I visited both New York City and Shanksville (Shanksville is only about an hour from here; according to the flight path, Flight 93 flew practically directly over our house).
I put together a few pages of photos from those visits here:

Does anyone know a good place to view the lights from the NJ side?
Also, how long are they going to be lit?

As most people here.. I remember that day very well.
I was probably one of the last people on the planet to know what happened and that, to me eyes, made it even more traumatic.
I had an intense programming session in the afternoon and I did not connect on the net or talk to anybody in the office (lots of people was on holiday and my floor was nearly empty). Then I had a couple of hours driving home on the M25, at the time I was commuting and that looked like the usual traffic on that motorway..
Once at home, late evening, I did not look for news and, quite tired, I was thinking of going to bed much earlier than usual.
Then my father called from Italy, and he made me switch the TV on...

My brother worked right around the corner for the phone co. He saw it happen. He worked many, many hours on communications during the mayhem. He volunteered to stay on for a few days at a time. After he got off from the communications, he participated in the "bucket brigade" the folks who cleaned up, and passed buckets of remains.
A life long friend of mine, had just retired from the New York Port Authority, a month earlier. His office was in the WTC.
Several firefighters from my old neighborhood, where I grew up, Kingsbridge, in the Bronx lost their lives rescuing others.
My husband (to be) was an iron worker on the Twin Towers when they were being built. He slipped and nearly lost his life waaay up on a very high floor. That's another story though. He actually experienced what he calls a miracle that morning, and lived to tell about it.
My brother-in-law was just at Windows on the World restaurant a week or so earier to see his gf's neice perform in a band there.
Lots of connections, and constant reminders. :-(
