Solid post. So many Americans died that day. I always think of the fireman that ran back into the towers knowing they were unstable.

I worry that in 10 years our "educators" will try to minimize or outright erase 9-11 because they think it's offensive to muslims.

This video always stood out to me because of how close they were to the towers. I can’t imagine how the firefighters and everybody in the area felt when they heard those first rumbles let alone all the people who didn’t make it out. I will never forget that day as a 14 year old.
Woah, I never saw that video. You can hear each floor collapsing one by one.

Was only 8 at the time. The thing I vividly remember is wanting to watch cartoons after I got home from school and every single channel was the news

I was in Afghanistan at 19 because of that day. I remember people jumping out the windows, my teachers and parents crying, and general chaos.

Makes you feel old realizing there's adults who don't remember this happening. But to me it seems like yesterday.

A reason I don't waste my time watching politics on the news. The talking heads babble about so many insignificant things, it drives me crazy. Add all the liberals and ultra right Tweeters of the world, and it just exacerbates it all.
It's sad that it takes an event as horrific as this to bring our country to be united.
If only we could still have that national pride we all felt on 9/12/01. Without a tragedy.

President Bush throwing a perfect strike at the Yankees game shortly after 9/11 was amazing

Supervisor calls and says turn on the news

What’s amazing to me looking back was that I was 13 when it happened and It wasn’t until like a year later that the magnitude of two skyscrapers and 5,000 lives being destroyed.
That event is the defining moment of my generation and I hope people can remember what it was like to come together as human beings first in the aftermath.

First responders running into the burning buildings as crowds of people haul arse the other way.
Takes a special person.

I was 7 years old when that happened, had no idea what the WTC or the Pentagon was. All I know is that day, along with the thousands of innocent lives that were taken that day because of Islam, the privacy of every citizen in this country and around the world was thrown out of the window. All in the name of keeping us ‘safe.’

it should be required history education to watch uncut full TV coverage of the attacks on 9/11 each year for students who did not experience it live. It's the only way for them to develop an ounce of an idea of what it was truly like. the confusion...the anger...the brutality. All of that has been lost. Hell it's sad that people who have lived through it have quickly forgotten. Seeing clips of TV coverage doesn't cut it. They need to watch the entire day's worth.

Still gives me chills. If only it never happened.

Went to the 9/11 museum last week and it’s one of the best things we did in New York. They have all types of voicemails and radio calls from people on the planes. It’s terrifying

There was a poster in one of the 9/11 threads many years ago that his dad died in one of the towers. Seems that he was between 15-17 at the time (can't remember) and that as his dad was often away on business, they just kind of pretended he was out of town.
This poster is now n the 32-34 age range and I so wish I could remember his screen name. I think about him every year and hope he's living and enjoying his life.
I want to hate today but if we do we let them win.
God bless us all.

September 11, 2001 was the day that changed my life forever. As of now, its the single most significant, life altering event that's ever happened to me. It caused me to withdraw from college and then, less than a week later, enlist in the United States Army. That military service would ultimately take me to Iraq in 2003. My service also led me directly to my job, which i still work at and love to this day. September 11, 2001 made me who i am today. Terrorists did not break us, they woke us up. I am a proud American citizen and veteran. I will never forget the innocent men, women and children who were taken from so many loved ones in cold murder. I will never forget the firefighters, police and EMT responders who put on their boots and ran into certain death. September 11, 2001.....I will never forget!!!! God Bless America!!!
