10 Year anniversary of the Twin Tower Attack

[Matthew Arnold]

As everyone is aware this sunday it is the 10 year anniversary of the World Trade Centre attacks and collapse. Just out of interest what is everyone doing to remember the people who lost their lives? I shall be going down to the local fire station for their service that they hold every year.

A minutes silence, that is all

I am sorry, and i am sure many will despise me for this, but i will be trying to ignore the issue altogether.

I understand that. Why is there officially two minutes silence for 9/11. But only a minute for 11:00am 11/11, I think that is wrong.

My thing is more about how innocent anybody who worked for the WTO actually was.

(and yes i understand that there were many in there who were visiting, porters, police etc etc before anybody points that out, and although I think the act was sick and wrong, I also feel that the WTO is not exactly white as the driven snow when it comes to responsibility for thousands of innocent deaths...in fact many more than died on 11.9.2001)

My best friend lost his brother in law. He worked for Cantor Fitzgerald. He was a broker for the firm. Very little was found of his remains. He left a wife and Two kids. Tommer9 help me understand how you are able to judge the type of people working in the WTC on that day nearly 10 years ago?. I will honor their deaths and say a Rosary for the families who have suffered so much yet continue to carry on since it is what their departed members would want.

Ill probably watch Team America World Police Movie, Team America Movie - Official Site........

[Taupotreeman]

another here I'm afraid that will just carry on as per usual. It's not that I don't feel any sympathy etc but I am a completely unemotional person due to various things that went on in my childhood. I generally tend to be hard nosed and tuck everything away. I do, however, intend to visit the site when I'm hopefully in NY next year and I'll probably drop a flower off at the site.

Same as Above.

 

I did enjoy my time at the Top of the world trade center looking through the glass floor over the edge.

 

Also remember being off school 10years ago

I can still remember exactly where I was when the first plane hit, I was up a cherry tree in a school quadrangle, I listen to radio 4 and there was a news flash.

 

It was an horrific day, one of the worst things was the thudding in the back ground as reports were speaking live from the scene, they told us it was people jumping and the thudding was them hitting the floor.

 

I don't know enough about any of the victims to feel I could even begin to judge them.

 

When I think of that day all I feel is sadness.
