Annual 9/11 Thread - 17 Years Later

Add the Rick Rescorla “Man who predicted 9/11” doc. That ones pretty good.

It’s incredible how far down the tubes CNN’s gone. Aaron Brown was great on 9/11 for CNN. That was his first day of work. What a fricking first day.

Everything seems so surreal. That night before Bush addressed the nation Aaron Brown and two others discuss the importance of Bush’s address. They say no President has spoken words more important since FDR’s speech after Pearl Harbor. That was 60 years prior to 9/11. It really highlights the magnitude of the situation.

Never forget, well done op

That was the best documentary. Both of the French brothers really told the stories of what was going on inside the towers and the what was going on outside in the streets.

Yeah that’s a great doc

One more, I’d also link @AriFleischer ‘s twitter. Every year he does an “as it happened” recap complete with handwritten notes and pictures.

For the younger posters in here, Ari was Bush’s Press Secretary. And a damn good one at that.

I really can’t look at much on this anniversary and feel for the families who re-live it each year. As painful as it is for me,I can’t begin to understand the depth of what those who lost loved ones in many horrific ways feel on this day. I lose it every year. I pray.

Never going to forget being in school, the teacher freaking out crying, the phones ringing off the hook and my mom coming get me. Could see the smoke from our house in Queens.

I learned everything I needed to know about the radical Islamic terrorism that day.
