RIP.
Always remember the stories, with workers running down the towers - and the fireman running up, bravery beyond belief.

Nice to see the fire station at St Jone's Memorial has got an American flag at half mast.

No surrender to dirty terrorists.

Fair play J - glad to see someone else knows what the date is.

To all of my Islam apologist friends on the Board, please just take one day off today and remember the murder of 3,000 innocent people and the unbelievable courage of the Firefighters and Police Officers of New York City and Washington DC. To hear of men and women walking up the thousands of steps of the shattered Towers to almost certain death in the hope that they might save at least one person, regardless of their colour, creed or religion is something that should inspire us all. I like to debate, and I respect everyone's right to an opinion, but on this day, please let us unite in our sorrow for those that died and in our appreciation for the heroes of 9/11.

[MK Shrimper]

Echo that. This is not the day for politics, just a day to remember the innocents who died.
RIP.

 

[Jedi Shrimper]

Indeed, a day such as this transcends the political divide. A truely tragic day, may all those innocent people who lost their lives Rest In Peace.

A great people has been moved to defend a great nation. Terrorist attacks can shake the foundations of our biggest buildings, but they cannot touch the foundation of America. These acts shattered steel, but they cannot dent the steel of American resolve.

In memoriam requim pax.

If you want to mourn a real hero. How about this guy. I worked for Morgan Stanley at the time of the attack, and I can tell you this guy is considered a real hero by all that work there.

Rick Rescorla

Read more about his story on the BBC:-

But alert he was and in 1990 he asked old friend and ex-special forces soldier Dan Hill to evaluate the risks to the World Trade Centre. The garage was pin pointed as a weak point, but no official response to their report was forthcoming.

In 1993, a van packed with explosives was detonated 30 feet from where they had predicted.

1993 should have been a wake-up all for all. Rick pressed Dean Witter to move out of the Twin Towers believing that the next attack would come by air.

Eight years later, Rick Rescorla would personally escort all 20 floors of Morgan Stanley employees out of the building and to safety.

I watched a programme on his obsession with the potential of a terrorist attack. Unfortunately he was proven right.

It was a fascinating and very sad story indeed

RIP all those that had their lifes cut short on that day.

 

[OldBlueLady]

The horrors of that day will live on long in the memories of all who witnessed it, but more especially in the hearts and souls of those who were a part of it and who lost loved ones in it. People of many nations, colours and creeds were victims of this atrocity, and the bravery of those who risked so much in the rescue and recovery of them will, I hope, never be forgotten.

I just can't believe it's been seven years. I'm watching a few of the news reports from the day it happened and it seems so recent. Unless you've been over to Ground Zero I don't think it's possible to appreciate the scale of the devastation that remains to this day. I was there last summer and they were still pulling down surrounding buildings which were damaged on 9/11.

RIP.

Agree there.....it was a very surreal day indeed.

I was unfortunately in East Midlands Airport waiting for a flight to Edinburgh. They hadnt closed the airports at that time so oblivious I got on my flight as I hadnt realised why there were so many people watching the one TV in the departure gate.

Wasnt until I got to Edinburgh and found out what had gone on. Spent the rest of the night drinking in a pub with my boss watching the coverage. It was just so unreal it was difficult to comprehend what had gone on.

RIP to all those innocent people who lost their lives that day......

I will remember that day for the rest of my life i was at ardingly antiques fair with 3 american friends, when the news came over on a car radio they all fled looking for telephones. I used to meet up regularly with those lovely people and have not seen them since although we keep in contact by email.One of them lost a cousin in the disaster

 

[Cricko]

Tragic day and one I seem to recall most days in one thought or another,from the greed of people to the sadness of the lost lives of people that had no choice and the obscure fanatics that have found within such a modern World ways to create destruction and terror.

We truly live in a very frightening world.
