catchy title? hope so....


anyho. 8 years ago, in about 10 hours, 3,000 innocent Americans lost their lives in a brutal attack against our country.


i know i have made my fair share of enemy's on NS, but i hope we can put aside our differences, and remember what happened on 9/11/01.... 









lets also remember the blood that has been spilled, in the course of giving ALL of us the freedom we currently enjoy! because without THEIR SACRIFICE, we could not even be on NS right now....

so here's to you America, and all the good you have done in the world.  CHEERS!

that still makes me sad.  The way I see it, those towel heads had an epic fail.  Our country came together after that as one when that happen.  It made us stronger.  RIP to all the lives lost on 9/11 and the people that lost there life in the war fighting for us.

I was in third grade when it happened. My super sheltered little catholic school wouldn't tell us something happened, so instead they told everyone that we were practicing an indoor recess. I definitely thought the president died before i knew what actually happened.

+vibes to all the families affected by the attacks.

they had a once in a life time shot to blind side us... and they hit us hard...


i was talking about this with my dad the other day, (who is an airline pilot, and just happened to be flying out east on 9/11) and he really thinks there is NO WAY this could be replayed..... the changes that were made to airplanes, and the mindset of americans, after that fateful day....

he told me there is NO WAY into that cockpit now, the doors are bullet proof.. there are no keys to enter. there are 2 sets of locks, and according to him there is NO WAY that you could break down the door....

all those combined with the fact that now Americans would not set down and take orders from a terrorist with a box cutter...

he really believes that there will never be repeat of 9/11/01...... that doesnt mean terrorists couldnt blow airplanes up another way... but in his opinion.... airplanes will not be flying into buildings....


like someone above me said... yeah, i can remember that day like it happened yesterday almost...

I cant imagine how crazy that would have been for your father flying that day.  I agree, the airlines have made it impossable to break into the cockpit.  Also, a lot of pilots have been trained to carry guns on the planes.  In Colorado that day it was a cold morning (more cold that normal for September).  I was sleeping, my father woke me up, just as I turned the tv on the 2nd plane hit the tower.  i couldnt believe my eyes.  My father owned his own business at that time, we didnt do any work, we just watched the tv in the store.  It was a crazy, sad day.  I do also remember like it was yesterday, watching all those people get swept away and jumping out of the window on LIVE tv.  Sad.  My aunt (i have never met) worked in the towers, she was visiting Florida on that day.

yeah, i was at home..... i was eating my breakfast when the phone rang. it was my aunt... all she said was turn on the news...

so my mom, brother and i. flipped on the TV, right as an airplane hit a building..... i didnt even know WHAT i was watching..... my mind immediately went WHERE IS DAD... 

i know this sounds bad, but as a fly boys son, i dont keep track of where my dad is, i know how to find out where he is...... but i dont keep track, like today when i called him i asked him where he was, i honestly had no idea.....

so i watch an airplane hit the tower... i think at this time they were reporting that the first one was a small airplane, while I WATCHED the second airplane hit the second tower... it is an image that will forever be burnt into my mind.....

now thankfully my dad was not on one of those planes. but he got a "get your plane on the ground now!" order, and with all airplanes landing, i think he ended up in Ohio before they could get his plane on the ground.

it was a long day, thankfully i did not fully grasp the situation at the time..... i dont think anyone did though..

I was real scared that day due to the fact that my dad being a pilot for Continental and being based out of Newark was flying that day..his flight was literally right behind the one on the that got hijacked, on the runway and crashed in PA.  He said he saw the towers burning and what not..I had no contact though so it was really scary.... but the his flight got reverted to cleveland so he contacted us their..I remember that day...It was the day after the Broncos played the Giants...(dont know why i remember that)..

Sad day, I was starting the 6th grade, and my dad was in the USAF at the time and I knew he was going to be sent to war because of it.
One of the crews my dad actually worked with were the planes that had to fly by the jets and watch them crash

man I feel old... I was a senior in high school driving to school and right after the first one hit the radio station said something about it. I walked into school and turned on a tv in a classroom and the second one hit. Right after that a semi backed into a power pole outside the school and the power went out and we all got to go home for the day and watch everything unfold on tv.
Anyways it's weird how we can remember that so vividly. It impacted us that much. I wish our country was still together like we were for the year after that.

the usa is still slaves to the country where the majority of those terrorists originated and your country doesn't have the backbone to bring that up because we can't lose face to the saudis.  its like your best friend punching your mom in the face, but you don't want to fight your friend because you're tapping his  sister

lets revise that ignorant statement... ok? good... .


how about "fuck the bastards that flew airplanes into buildings"


i dont know if you acctually know any of those "towel heads" but the VAST majority of them are peace loving people...

its the crazies you need to be concerned with... 


here is a little analogy... "fuck clowns"   now why would i say that?  well if you saw the movie "batman, the dark knight" you know that the joker was dressed as a nut case clown....

if the joker looks like a clown, can i hate all clowns? no...

(i know its a loose analogy)

Yeah, but in the same way, if I choose sausage instead of hash browns tomorrow, the world will also never be the same. There are possible futures without this nation that would work out just fine, maybe even better. You cannot speculate and say that without the US as a predominant force after 2001, the world would be fucked.

god bless the usa for 2,000+ lives lost on 9-11. god bless the american soldiers fighting for there country who have lost there lives, for those who still to this day and many more to come, who are still going to lose there lives.

god bless iraq for the lives there country is losing. civilians, armed soldiers, and even terrorists.

we feared on 9-11, sure. i bet civilians in iraq fear every day just as much as we did, that some US soldier will throw a frag through the window, come in their house with guns blazing, or a simple missile or bomb will drop from the sky and obliterate them even though they had no involvement in anything. there fear is 7 years and still coming. ours was a few days.

god bless everyone who has been effected by the tragedy of 9-11 no matter where your from. not just the great U.S. of A. everyone, everywhere no matter if you wear a towel on your head. It is a sad time i would say so god bless. or allah be with whatever you say anyone and everyone in this time of "war on terror" and those affected by 9-11.
