09/11/2001

Well as you all know, today is the 8th anniversary of the horrible terrorist attacks on the World Trade Centre. A total of 2,993 people died in the attacks including the hijackers, they will not be forgotten. The heroes were the firefighters and civilians who gave their lives to help people stuck in the towers

RIP

 

* Bless all that died on this day in 2001!

 

They'll never walk alone

 

I remember hearing about that as a primary scholar on the bus home. Didn't have a clue. After learnign so much it was a day when Americans showed they can pull together.

RIP all that were lost YNWA

Also remember the people that put their lives or Health at risk to make attempts to save people knowing so many were being lost.

A sad day

 

* bless

 

* bless each and every person who sadly lost their lives on such a tragic day.

 

See to be honest with ya, that pretty much sucks pal.

Ya think everyone of them are the same? I think not.

I dont wanna run this thread off topic but that my friend is no good.

 

Almost everyone can remember where they were the day that the news broke...

I remember coming home from school i was 15 at the time and turning on the tv it had just gone 2pm here (UK time) and seeing the North Tower with the gaping hole and smoke pouring out of the building...At first i thought it was a movie then i saw the plane hit live...I called my mum at work She Worked with a woman from States at the time to ask if she had heard the news. To which she hadn't, I hated to be in my Mum's shoes when she told her co-worker what was happening in New York.

I don't think i need to say anymore as i think we all know the rest...

I've said it before and i'll keep on saying it...

9/11 We Remember...R.I.P.

 

Aye, it's the thing al remember forever mate, just watching those scenes brought a chill to me. I really was too young to understnd the issues. But I knew summit was up and a feared for them. I was watchin Sky News having came home from school. The U.K just ground to a halt. Ad say people here, felt it most apart from any other country in the world besides USA- well imo- i did.

 

Yes that is fair, I know what I said was not good. I'm just being honest, I don't dislike the people but I dislike their religion. I admit I am Islamophobic.

I agree, no need to run this thread off-topic.

This is a better quote.

 

Please don't detract from the op people.

 

I was 13 walking home from school, was nearly at me my house and my mate was in his garden and came running out, Youd wanna see this, americas getting blown up.... I was like what.

Couldnt believe it when i went home

R.I.P

 

I cant believe its been 8 years, i remember it like yesterday, well i think we all do.

I would have been 10 years old at the time and this is all i watched for days.

 

[This is a better quote.[/QUOTE]

I knew this was what you meant

 

I can remember coming in from school and it was on GMTV, i wasn't sure of the situation but I knew it was bad

 

holy *,really 8years? i was around 18,remember i was cooking a late lunch and incidentally always watch bbc new while doing so [not that it mattered that day]

I really only remember being glued to the tv in shock,cancelled everything and followed events from the second it was live till i slept NYC has always been in my mind as a place i love and to see what was going on was so surreal and utterly harrowing,i got so many different feelings and emotions that day and i'll never forget..ever,it changed my life! from that moment i saw how life can be so fragile..until that moment i was nieve about things,well not after..

* bless every one involved because what they went through and how they overcame it with dignity and courage is awe inspiring.

 

I was coming home on a plane from London not knowing what happened. I even briefly saw the footage of the towers on fire when I was at Stansted, I thought it was some sort of movie or something and didn't take much notice. I only got suspicious when I arrived at an eerie airport. There was no staff or travelers apart from our plane. When I got to Queen Street the newspapers were already published. I still have the original newspaper. That is when I first knew what really happened. It was even more shocking when watching this on television, the whole of Manhattan was covered in dust and smoke.

Awful day for everyone. Rest in peace.

 

i had only just came to america at that point i came here 9/7/01. i was just enrolled at university in hoboken right across the river from mid town manhatten. it was mad... i literally got sick watching it all happen.

 

can't believe it's 8 yrs allready..remember it like it happened yesterday.. watching the tv live i could not believe what was happening, my first thought were not abou terror but some creapy faillure in the planes radarsystems or anything .. might also have somthing to do with me mum dying just 10 days after that.. was a pretty shocking time that for me..

anyhow hope the world never forgets.. RIP

 

I'm presuming Stevens, top class school .


I went to high school about 10 miles outside of NYC (Catholic High School), and live even closer. After the second plane hit, school was shut down, we were evacuated to the football field, and I was scrambling to find a ride otherwise I would be stuck on the athletic field panicing. Luckily an upperclassman was going to my town, and I took a ride with him. On a highway/motorway going home, you can see the NYC skyline and inevitably you could see the smoke from the towers; unnerving does not begin to explain how I felt and continue to feel about this.

It was ignorant and wrongheaded for that one lad to say the thing he did about Islam; it is better off not to have thugs like this and organizations like this who would want to see us dead; good to stand up for your faith and your values, dissent is okay, but surely not worth killing over.

* Bless our law enforcement, emergency medical personnel, firefighters, all other first responders, and of course the military (particularly the ones I know, one of who is a Spurs fan )

I pray today and each for peace throughout the world, and may we continue to shine in the example of coexistence while maintaining our values which we hold dear Brother Walfrid laid down in the spirit of The Celtic Football Club over 121 years ago.

* Bless you all, with a decent display of photos, here's Kate:
