So people like Kon133 can post 9-11 pics to their heart's content instead of on the THE MEGA WTC Picture Thread.

Me and my family watched the thing on FOX tonight and I ...... still just can't believe this actually happened. To me, removed from the situation but having watched it unfold live 8 very short years ago ... it seems like a movie. A movie in which I know every frame by heart. And I still want my pound of flesh! Especially after the compilation FOX showed me tonight.
The lights looked great in the low ceiling.​

.............you really don't believe that do you ? 911 was the emergency number way before the 2001 attack.
and.....in US speak.....the emergency number is Nine One One, where the attack is referred to as Nine Eleven because Americans put the Month before the Day unlike most of the rest of the world...not that there is anything wrong with that ? So Internationally 9-11 wouldn't have read as significant.....

I've never been in the United States, but I guess what happened in New York. It was awful, for something like that has no justification, killing innocent people is damnably! I was a child when it happened, I remember I came from school and on TV what had happened. I can not belive that it's been almost 9 years. I am sorry that the twin towers will not be renewed, they will not build two new towers even bigger, more modern, but it looks like the twin towers that got a new look. Symbolically it would be raised from the ashes. I'sure I will visit New York once, and then I'll sure visit the memorial and lay flowers.

Learn how to read a timeline dipshit.

The US "deserves it" about as much as Morocco deserves civilian planes crashing in downtown Casablanca for its crimes in the Western Sahara.

Now go piss off. :)

I dreamt about 9/11 last night. It's been stuck with me all day.
I remember the day quite clearly. I got home from school that day - excited, we'd got a new TV. It was fitted by two workmen. As they switched it on, we all stood, frozen at what was shown on the screen.
My thoughts remain with all those affected by this terrible event.
God bless America.

????? if you listen to the words of any National Anthem of any country they are patriotic to their own country...what's the difference with the USA...give some respect, specially when it's in reference to a shocking day like 9/11...........and I'm not an American !

A terrible tradegy for the whole world really and the awful loss of life.

9/11 changed the world & a new fear of terrorism was born.

New York lost its iconic towers and families lost their loved ones.

Never been to New York and I miss the towers in the Media.

Time is a good healer & I hope New Yorkers have moved on but I know thats difficult for the people who were directly affected.

Still makes me emotional and I get upset when I see pictures of the planes hitting the towers, I change the channel.

Looks like I haven't got over it!

Dziś mija ósma rocznica tzw. "Uroczystości Majowych" związanych z zakończeniem akcji "CleanUp Ground Zero". Polegała ona na uprzątnięciu Strefy Zero, a dokładniej rumowiska jakie powstało 11 Września 2001 roku. Akcja trwała od połowy Września 2001 roku do 30 Maja 2002 roku i podczas niej wywieziono przeszło 1.500,000 ton gruzu i stali oraz 2605 ciał w tym ciała pięciu Polaków.

Symbolicznym zakończeniem akcji "CleanUp Ground Zero" był tzw. "Pogrzeb ostatniego elementu", który miał miejsce od 28 Maja do 30 Maja 2002 roku.
To właśnie dziś 28 Maja mija ósma rocznica odcięcia Ostatniego elementu jakim była kolumna nośna rdzenia South Tower CC1001BB3. Kolumna ta zamontowana na fundamencie w Kwietniu 1969 roku została z niego zdjęta po 33 latach pełnienia swej funkcji. Została ona zdjęta wieczorem podczas przygotowanej uroczystości, z zachowaniem szacunku dla zmarłych i samej kolumny, załadowana na ciężarówkę, opadana czarnym płótnem, przykryta amerykańską flagą z położonym na niej wieńcem oczekiwała na wywiezienie z Ground Zero.
Za dwa dni 30 Maja minie osiem lat od uroczystego wywiezienia Ostatniego elementu ze Strefy Zero, które odbyło się rankiem o 10:28 (czasu NYC) 8 miesięcy i 19 dni po zapaści North Tower. Wywieziona w milczeniu pod eskortą przez zamknięte ulice Nowego Jorku do hangaru JFK Airport. Przez siedem lat nieobecności w Ground Zero 24 Sierpnia 2009 roku powróciła po konserwacji do Strefy Zero.
Kolumna nośna CC1001BB3 stała się ważnym symbolem dla nowojorczyków, który oznacza poświęcenie i męstwo oraz cierpienie... To właśnie "Uroczystości Majowe" są uważane za całkowite "pogrzebanie" istnienia kompleksu World Trade Center.
































5 Sierpnia 1966 - Kwiecień 1969 - 4 Kwietnia 1973 - 11 Wsześnia 2001 - 28 - 30 Maja 2002 - 24 Sierpnia 2009
Today is the eighth anniversary of the so-called. "Celebrations of May" associated with the termination of the "Clean Up Ground Zero." It consisted of Ground Zero were removed, and more debris that was September 11, 2001. The action lasted from mid-September 2001 to May 30, 2002, and while it exported more than 1,500.000 tons of rubble and steel, and 2,605 bodies in the bodies of five Poles.

The symbolic end of the campaign "Clean Up the Ground Zero" was called. "Funeral of the last element," which took place from 28 May to 30 May 2002.
It is now May 28 cut-off marks the eighth anniversary of the last element of which was a load-bearing column of the spinal CC1001BB3 South Tower. This column mounted on the foundation in April 1969 it was taken down after 33 years of performing his duties. It was removed during the evening ceremonies prepared, with respect for the dead and the same column, loaded onto a truck, falls in black cloth, covered with an American flag with a wreath located on it waiting for the deportation of Ground Zero.
In two days it will be May 30, eight years after the solemn repatriation of the last items from Ground Zero, which took place about 10:28 in the morning (NYC time), eight months and 19 days after the collapse of the North Tower. Transported under escort in silence through the closed streets of New York to JFK Airport hangar. For seven years absence from the Ground Zero 24 August 2009 she returned after restoration of Ground Zero.
Column CC1001BB3 carrier has become an important symbol for New Yorkers, which means the sacrifice and bravery, and suffering ... It is "The May celebrations" are considered to be completely "bury" the existence of the World Trade Center.

OK I made the same point but here is an example where the wide world, a computer and the typed word don't really imply the intent of the person making the post....I don't know georgeflint but know that's not what he meant. It is nice he felt it was bad and shouldn't have happened, just the wrong word that's all.

So much time has passed

Remember that day very well, although I didnt know what impact will it have on this decade. It was a breakthrough, the most important event since WWII

And every time I try to imagine what have those people in Towers seen, I feel like being there with them.

That tragic moment will last on history cards. September 11 2010

If it never happened...

The complex would have been renovated a couple years ago to go green
America wouldn't have gone to the M.E
Saddam is still in power
Commercial airline industry would still be thriving
Economy would not be as bad as now

BUT, it's would have been possible they could have attacked at any time and it would have happen anyway or another.

One cool thing about 9/11 is when some newschannels play back their "as it happened" newsreels. Makes me remember what TV used to be like back in the day.
I remember Paula Zhan on top of some midtown building with the smoke far behind, and all the drivel they babbled about during the days afterward, and some of the craziest stories they came up with during the media panic.
It's one of those few times when it felt like you HAD to watch CNN in fear of missing some major news.

Some crazy days. On the other hand the burnt smell that the wind carried at night wasn't too pleasant.
