amazing it's been 11 years

I remember that day I was at work.

it's crazy reading this thread from the beginning. First posts bring it all back.

my respects, I will never forget the moment I turned my chair and saw the news.

crazy change in the world that day
i remember the panic...and the anger in everyones eyes

Just watched this for the first time. Apologies if some of the old timers think it's insensitive to post, but it's an amazing video

never forgotten never forgiven

I was about 20 blocks away when it happened... thought there was a solar eclipse because so much smoke was wafting over the skylights of my office. What a horrendous day. New York City was in a daze for a week after that... and I'll never forget how polite everyone became. People said hello to strangers, gave up their seat on the subway for those who looked distraught.... the whole city forgot its differences and came together for months.

Guys took time off from work to go down and help dig out ground zero, employers paid them anyway and the unions sent replacement workers where necessary. Customers threw out job schedules and deadlines so skilled tradesmen could work on site even if it mean their building plans would fall behind... The American spirit is an amazing thing to watch in action.

GM is alive... Bin Laden is dead. :)

Yearly bump. Hard to believe it's been 12 years. This thread made me turn on the TV to watch the 2nd plane hit.

Horrible reading the first few pages of this thread again...

I heard on 103.9 today there are still a lot of unidentified remains and no remains of many hundred people found at all. Every time any part of body get identified by DNA government has to contact the family. Some people get few calls per year.

The guys who did this are now in Syria fighting Assad

Yep.... This day rolls around every year.

Last night I watched a show about Seal Team Six and how the got Bin Laden. It was really good.

The guys that did this are all dead and to the best of my knowledge all of the planners... except for two...and one of the two is in custody...have been killed by us.

I wonder if this is how people felt 10+ years after Pearl Harbour. Probably, I guess.

r.i.p

,,,,,,

not as many specials on TV this year, obviously as last year was 10 year mark.

thinking about it seems not to long ago, but looking at the pictures seems more than 11 years.

Hard to forget.

Dont forget famous new york pizza

nostalgic bump

man i remember this thread

Friggin' 13 years...

We'll never forget that day of infamy, the victims and the heroes, lots of heroes.

Life goes on, except in the Middle East where things only get worse. e

From Al Queda to Islamic State.

It's hard to know what the future will bring as the extremists become much more extreme and seem capable of recruiting people from Western countries to fight with them.

One day those recruits will return home and having been radicalised and trained in acts of terrorism they'll present a great challenge to Governments of many countries - what do you do with a citizen that's been fighting alongside IS and then returns to their country of origin ? Obviously they will have become very dangerous people.

and where are all the people from the thread? :) :helpme :)

Same question can be applied for every thread older then one year.

until the civilized world comes to terms with the fact that muslims are the enemy, things will not change.

so tragic, remember it like it was yesterday - know exactly where i was, what I was doing -- etc ..

Same here.

So surreal reading these after so many years

I remember that day 13 years ago.

R.I.P.

The extremist Muslims are. Don't generalize.

Teencat..most of us are still here even if the names have changed. To me, that was the day that 'made' GFY as a community.

It is good to see so many of us still standing strong this many years later.

What a day. :( It felt like the day the world changed, but only in retrospect can we see by how much.

Having trouble seeing the forest for the trees? :D


Lest we forget...

It's still surreal, thinking back to that morning, the live news shots, this thread.

i'm sure everyone remembers where they were.

I stayed home and watched tv all day, not moving an inch from my couch.

I'll never forget that day, where I was,what I was doing.. Forever etched into my mind.

wow, I can't believe that there is a post from all the way back then. Nuts! I wont every forget what I was doing, I was asleep, my roomate woke me. I was living in queens (borough outside on Manhattan / NYC), and drove to a spot where I could usually see the towers clear as day. All there was smoke in the shape of the towers, it was terrible, I remember it like it was yesterday.
