It does not seem that long ago.

Truly one of those times in history where people remember where they were and what they were doing when that happened.

Well said -----God Bless
Most definitely!!

I just finished a chilling story in the San Antonio Express-News from this morning's edition of a San Antonio family who received a "note" from the husband-father after ten years time. The note had very few words, something to the effect of "84th floor, West office, 12 people trapped". The family had believed, no, hoped that he had been killed instantly when the plane hit, but the note proved otherwise, ten years later. The only way they identified the note as being from him, was a bloody fingerprint on the note that was ID'd by DNA. If you can,go to the Express-News site and read it. It brought tears to my eyes.
Tragedy??? More like a travesty!
I will never forgive, and I will certainly never forget.

It is a stunningly beautiful day here today in DC. What a lovely day to sit outside, on the National Mall, and reflect back to 11 years ago today.

I humbly and respectfully will do just that, and remember those who were lost.

My bus ride in to DC this morning went on a detour to the Pentagon (it's on my normal daily route). I did not realize that the 9/11 memorial service was already being prepared for so early.

Yes. It's like the event is tattooed in to memory.

It's a gorgeous day here in NYC too. People were commenting that today's weather is a xerox copy of September 11th 2001.

[CashMan]

Yesterday, I taped the voices of 9/11, where they told what happened, with peoples voices from that day. I barely got through it, without shedding a tear, and I am not one to cry.

[ConcordCowboy]

Hard to believe it's been over a decade...crazy how fast time can go by.

[JonJon]

It's was one of those days that everyone old enough to know what was going on will remember where they were when the planes hit and the towers fell.

[JonJon]

As for now, I just want to pay homage to those that lost their lives and the families and friends that lost loved ones.

[CowboyMcCoy]

I truly feel for those who lost their lives. With that said, I'm out of this thread, too. It's just a touchy subject that brings up a lot of [divisive] emotions for most of us.

Go Cowboys!

Classless NBC decides to skip the moment of silence.

NBC’s ‘Today’ Skips 9/11 Moment Of Silence For Kardashian Interview (http://www.mediabistro.com/tvnewser/nbcs-today-skips-911-moment-of-silence-for-kardashian-interview_b145281)




At 8:46 AM, in New York City and at the White House in Washington DC, there was a moment of silence to remember when the first plane hit the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001. In New York, the NYPD, FDNY, Port Authority Police and the families of the victims were present, while in Washington the President and the First Lady led the moment.


The cable networks all carried it, with ABC’s “Good Morning America” and “CBS This Morning” carrying it as well. The only national general news program to not carry the moment of silence was NBC’s ‘Today,” which, in an odd bit of counter-programming, opted to air an interview with “Keeping Up With the Kardashians” star Kris Jenner (http://www.mediabistro.com/Kris-Jenner-profile.html), who talked about the new season of the reality show, and her breast implants.

Really NBC? You skip a moment of silence remembering one of the nation's most impactful days to have an interview with a reality show star about her breast implants? What a disgrace...

[justbob]

Lets keep the thread on track. Remembering the people of 9-11 and not how tasteless our media can be ..Thanks

[BoysFan4ever]

I work for an airline & I am not sure we'll ever get over it.

Just a day that won't ever be forgotten.

[SkinsandTerps]

Lost a few friends, and it was a tough day all around. Changed my life.

RIP. Thanks. Miss you guys. :(

Never forget. And never ever forgive.

[CanadianCowboysFan]

I remember my wife having heard it on radio and turned on TV. We are west coast so I didn't get up until 730 PT, she said the World Trade Center is gone, I said oh please (I was in bathroom). She said, no really. I went out saw it and went whoa.

[jobberone]

Interesting isn't it? I can vividly recall what time it was, where I was and who told me President Kennedy was dead. I can see it all in vivid detail and even hear the voices around me.

Damn, how old are you if you can remember that event? I'm old and I wasn't even born then.

[JBond]

I think you have to forgive if you want to be the better nation/person etc

Not forgetting is one thing but remember, all our sins are forgiven, seems to me others should be too.

It is hard but it has to be done it seems to me.

That all depends on how many people you know that were murdered by those bastards. I will never forget or forgive.

On a different note, they are finally going to take care of the clean up workers. I never understood the opposition to taking care of them.

I was actually in NYC in the summer of 2011. Went down to the site, wife went shopping at some huge store near there, I took a few photos. We then sat near a building and ate some Dunkin Donuts. We said, damn imagine what was on the ground where we were sitting that day, body parts, dirt, debris. Must have been really ugly.

[Sam I Am]

These lights will come on at dusk tonight and go off at dawn tomorrow. I've got personal pictures of last years lights.

It's gone by so fast and I'll never forget. I can still remember in almost perfect detail everything about that day for me.

R.I.P. to all those victims, and heros, who were taken in this tragedy.

[WV Cowboy]

When I realize all of the preparations, planning, training, etc. that went into those terrorists pulling this off, ... I never dreamed that 11 years would go by without them succeeding in getting to us again.

I figured they would do something again way before now.

I know they would have if they could, ... praise and thanks to our military, they have been unable to do so.

Only one American wasn't on Earth on 9/11,
and this is what he saw

On the morning of Sept. 11, 2001, as Americans watched unprecedented horror unfold
before their eyes, one man watched the attacks unfold from hundreds of miles above
Manhattan. Frank Culbertson was the only American not on Earth that day. Instead, he
was commanding the International Space Station and snapped this pic of a smoke plume
spilling out from the location of the Twin Towers.

Culbertson said it was "horrible to see smoke pouring from wounds in your own country"
and mourned "watching life being destroyed" while on a mission committed to trying to
improve life on our planet.

I don't disagree with the sentiment but I guess the question is, how long do the networks have to observe moments of silence re that event?

I think you mean, thousands of people rather than millions of people, lost their lives.

[Lodeus]

This '102 minutes that changed America' is making me shake. Heartbreaking stuff.

Classless move by NBC. I don't expect them to do something every year, but to show Kim K instead is ridiculous.

102 Minutes is fascinating.

As far as NBC goes, 'we will never forget' isn't something I just say for the hell of it.
