Six years ago tonight.....9/11

[Honorary Bloke]

I second that sentiment.

My sincere and heart felt appologies for offending with my "get over it"
I know lives were lost, I know many thousands/millions of people have been effected me included.
Having had traumatic times in my own life this is what I have been told to do and I have become hard very hard arsed because of it, sceptical and suspicious of everything.

With lives so valuble to us all why do we go on and not change??
Why do we want to get even, angry or frustrated, walking away isn't the answer.
Since this event we have seen many world wide natural disasters, but to make a commercial killing from any of it is a greater disaster I believe.

Keep it on topic. Don't start pushing another barrow.

Hard to believe its six years.

I was watching the late news the cross to NY just after the first hit and I'm thinking thats no accident. The second hit and I'm dumb struck sat there glued to the TV, then when the Pentagon hit came I start thinking oh my god this could be the start of the end. Seems a little silly now especially when my son came home at that point from the club I tell him what had happened and his response was "Gee, oh well see you in the morning" oh to be 19 again.

An enormously sad event that will never be forgotten and changed so many lives so its a bit hard to just get over it. For me the lasting image of the sections of girders after the collapse standing at angles that seem as headstones in a cemetary is one of the most haunting.

I was blissfully unaware till I got in the car to drive to work at 7am... my wife (who was sleeping in with our baby son) called me at 10am all upset when she awoke and found out what had happened.

I feel sorry for the people that watched the live coverage... I'm glad I only got to see the censored versions...

It was sad and horrible but I think there are much bigger tragedies unfolding that we still have a chance to alter.

The thing about 9/11 is it made us frightened and made us angry. (IMHO)

i was playing in a pool compitition think it was 2130 ish me and another guy made it to the finals
we were about to start when it came on the tv we decided to not go on
split the prize money and went home it will always remain with me what i saw that night
i hate to say it but i belive that will be small scale compared to what may happen in the future

I seem to remember I was watching an episode of The West Wing when the first reports flashed on and at first I thought it was part of the show, it soon became apparent that it wasn,t. as an emergency service worker it really struck home how many lost their lives just trying to help other people. Every anniversary it causes you to reflect on losing that amount of shift mates in one go.

God bless Australia. Save us from this evil.
Home from work....11pm only saw a smouldering skyscraper on tv and thought nothing about it. Too tired after serving 4oo people dinner ....went to bed. Really tired. Realised the next morn.

Damn the bastards who want to kill innocent people.

God bless our country. Democracy is not to be forced upon others, by idealists. Damn the idealists. We are all unique in our culture and laws govering our lives. Let us be free within ...OUR own society.

Bad bad persons who did this. It's terrible to influence the young with radical ideals. Just gross.
