  • I am not as impressed with the tower that replace the WTC as I wanted to be. It is tall, but not as distinctive as it should be. And it is a big cheat to have that spire on top just so they can say that it is 1776 feet tall. It is silly to me to count spires in the height of the building. The height should be measured to the highest occupiable floor.

  • I was at work.. I remember on work break.. I saw the plane fly by that left from Cleveland heading to Newark.,that eventually crashed into the pentagon...It was moving rather weirdly I thought for a commercial liner plane.. Then I got the news about the attack.. I think a lot of us just held our collective breaths that day,for sure...

    The plane that crashed into the Pentagon left from Dulles in Virginia, not Cleveland to Newark.

  • Not many people give the passengers of the plane that crashed in Pennsylvania the credit they deserve. To sacrifice your own lives and cause the plane to crash when there is no question you will die in order to save the lives of countless others is the ultimate act of bravery. The innocents on flight 81 are certainly wearing halos right now.

  • it was United flight 93

    It was that Flight 93 that made its turn right over NEOhio before crashing into the PA field. Its movements were discovered by the radar out of Hopkins. You can go to Shanksville PA to see the National Memorial.

    And FYI, the "Memorial" in NYC is not a national memorial....but a private one for which you have to pay beaucoups bucks to see, as I understand.

  • I was in quebec fishing and getting fuckered up. we could pick up wabc on the am dial.

  • I was at work in my fire station, and like everybody, we were in shock about the 1st tower. When the 2nd tower was hit, our phone lines lit up big time (berea, Oh).

    The whole area's safety forces were obviously put on alert. Of particular concern here in Cuyahoga County was the Hopkins Airport, about 2 miles away.

    It was easily the strangest day at my fire station ever. We are trained to prepare for any emergency, but it seemed we were just waiting for the worst all day.

  • I was working a late 2nd shift at the time, so still conked out when the 1st plane hit. My wife woke me up and told me what happened, and in my drowsiness l though "ok, a cesna or something, no big deal" and went back to sleep.

    She promptly alerted me when the 2nd hit. That got my ass outta bed and we spent the rest of the day watching the news and wondering why.

  • Ran across this video today why looking for tribute videos for 9/11. Thought i would share it with you all. Very touching video.

  • That is stunning in it's beauty, brought tears to my eyes. Thanks for sharing that,

    I'm going to send the link to several friends.

  • I was just finishing my morning school bus run at Central Bucks School District in PA (yes, the same Central Bucks where Blunt Force Trauma attended, we graduated together). As I was heading in to clock-out I was told about a plane that crashed. On my way to next ojb Tower 2 was hit.

  • ray rice wife new nickname......blunt force trauma

    at that point you have to make that move, you know you are already dead anyways, why not give it a chance? too bad they couldn't have pulled it off cuz it would have been another big FU to all those who plotted and carried out the attacks.

    chuck norris, steaven segal or liam neeson.....fucking up terrorist plane hijackers on a daily basis.
