Have you forgotten 9-11?

The images of that day will be burned into my memory until the day I die. I can still remember the cold, sinking feeling in my gut seeing the towers fall. My first thought after the first tower came down was, "Someone is going to pay for this".\n\nNEVER FORGIVE. NEVER FORGET.\n\nUnbelievable, simo9352. I hoped our allies would have more respect for fallen comrades than we seem to have in the States. Please tell me the suicide bomber's families didn't show.

I was born on Sept 11.  The towers were struck on my 28th birthday.  I walked around saying I was 27 for two years, because I forgot I had gotten older.  I spent that whole day glued to CNN like the rest of the world.  The first couple of years I didn't want to celebrate publicly, because I felt that it would be disrespectful of those who had lost.  Now I feel like I should celbrate that day, despite the tragedy, loss, and remembering (which should always be honored); it should be about life, hope, rebuilding, and a future.  Everyday is a gift.  Don't take it for granted.  You can remember and still celebrate that you and many others can move ahead.

Things changed after 9/11 and can you honestly blame people for the fear they have?

They are nutters 9/11 did happen. Im just uncertain about some of the fact surrounding the Pentagon (no one seen a plane, no one heard one, no debris, was it a bomb or just a poor excuse for the  the U.S. Government to not shoot the planes down that crashed into the towers? After all they did know the planes where hijacked shortly after take off, and U.S. security is the best in the world... so what happened? Confused consiracy but every thing was so well orcastrated! Thats my opinion. Love Heidi

September 10th, 2001\n\nKnowing what I do now, I would put together a mass volunteer brigade to phone the companies in the world trade center and explain why the buildings would be closed the next day. I would immediately contact the airports and explain exactly what and who they need to be looking for. Homeland Security would UP the searches! Washington would be notified and put on high alert. The Pentagon would be cleared for security reasons. The families of the people on the dreaded flights would be notified and encouraged to keep their loves ones at home. We would stop the event from happening before they ever had a chance! But we would be prepared in case there were contingency plans were unaware of! September 11th would then be just another ordinary day.

I dun one event should affect your life so much so that you cannot celebrate your birthday. It shows the kind of ignorance we are so full off. 9/11 cannot be termed even close to a devastating catastrophe. But we are giving so much importance to it. \nThere are more people killed in Tsunamis, Earthquakes, Typhoons, other terrorist attacks. Do you remember the dates of that? But one isolated incident in US and its forever memorized on the minds & hearts of americans. There are more people dead in Iraq than in 9/11. Do you remember the dates for that? Do you have even thought whether they died on their birthdays? No. 9/11 did not stop the world. No event will ever will. \nPeople will born, people will die. Time does not stop for anyone. I would not party on my birthday which is on 20th April. You know who was born on this day. Adolf Hitler. Does it mean I have to be silent. No. It would not mean that. \nOn the other hand, I believe in no party but some simple time spent with family during my b'day.

You know, I wonder how many people actually pay attention to history.  It's been this way since the beginning of time.  Humans are just horrible.  Nobody made the Muslims the threat, they made themselves the threat.  Sorry, but we didn't just make a movie about 9/11.  It really happened.  People really died.  Do you watch the news?  Very few countries in the world aren't fighting some kind of war.  We don't have to make up any kind of controversy.

Hindsight is 20-20, but I'm not sure. We still would have lost American lives so it seems like we would still have gone. However because of how brutal and devastating the attacks were that they hit a target and how they have permanently scared DC and NYC, those things might have had a larger effect on the decision than the acts themselves... OK, I think we would have no matter what. I believe Bush wanted to go to war and unfortunately 9-11 gave him an opportunity to do so without a fight from government or the American people.

No, I think we need to wake up again. 9/11 woke us up. Now we are sleeping again! If you get my point?

I think you should ask our genius of a president. He did a good job of letting us forget Osama by attacking a country that had nothing to do with 9/11. Also, don't forget that all the terrorists that day were Saudi's, the Bush family best friends.

Yes you do have one. You probably forgot due to the amnesia, you gutted a family of 4 back in 2001... Was every where in the media... you probably also forgot you are in a jail and not a HOTEL!!

I tend to always end up looking at the clock when it's 9:11. Hey, no reason... just a little odd life event.

Have we so soon forgotten, 9/11?  Weapons of mass destruction were found by the way just not in the quanities that everyone thought he had. Along with documentation proving that his regieme supposrted AL Quedia  terrorist operations

I have tossed this one back and fourth for some time. I don't think our Government is responsible for the events of 9/11, but there are some holes in the official report. Those holes lead people to believe that this Government is covering things. We may never know in our lifetime what actually happened beyond the obvious, but I am 90% certain that we did not do this to ourselves.

It will always stay in my mind...I was in a class at my company's HQ in Baltimore.  During our 10 AM coffee break one of the guys came in and said that a plane had hit the World Trade Center...we thought he meant the WTC in downtown Baltimore...we all went outside to look...nothing wrong there.  We all went next door to see the TV and realized it was in NYC...by then the 2nd tower had been hit.  Class was out for the day...we were all glued to the TV...everyone in the company was sent home early because Gov. Glendening was going to close the I-95 tunnel under Balto. Harbor.\nBy the mid-afternoon there were F-16s flying combat air patrol over Baltimore.\nOur class got out that Friday; all of us had to drive home - no flights available; another guy and I had a rental car from the week before.  I live in Oregon; he lives in Arizona.  We started driving - dropped him off with his brother-in-law in Detroit, then I drove all the way to Portland.  One guy had to rent a U-Haul to drive home; rental cars couldn't be had for love or money.\nOne of my cousins is a lawyer in NYC...we like her in spite of it:)...she had an early morning meeting in the WTC, and got out of the north tower 1/2 hr. before the first plane hit...
