Remembering the 8 children who died on 9/11

I want to say don’t post shite like this, but this is exactly what needs to be remembered especially on days like today. Horrible day for everyone, but especially for those who paid the ultimate sacrifice.

RIP, and I’ll hug mine a little tighter tonight for sure.

I believe the older kids were on the flight from Boston that crashed into the tower. I’ve thought about them many times on this day and the immense fear and confusion they had to endure. Truly heartbreaking.

Amen.

Not a big fan of CBS 60 minutes, but they got a good one of NYFD going on right now.

This got me. They had to be so scared, poor babies.

Don’t disagree, but what is really the point? Remembering these people doesn’t seem to be putting us on any different trajectory. And we are begging the Saudis for oil.

What’s the point of remembering loved ones that have passed…is that what you’re asking? Or the point of remembering that these kids died on 9/11 because what does it accomplish?

I guess politically it doesn’t really accomplish much. But that’s not really what the post is about. It’s to recognize and acknowledge what happened and to not forget something that was significant. So if you want to call it a “those who forget history are doomed to repeat it” kind of thing, that’s fine I guess. Or if you want to just call it trying to honor and remember those who are often forgotten, that’s fine too.

But you made it political, so good for you I guess.

Also heartbreaking some prick downvoted the OP.

Those kids were roughly my age in 2001. frick. Horrible their lives were extinguished by those fricks

It is sad that these maggots took these children’s hopes and opportunities away from them. Still as sad twenty plus years later.

The downvote may mean that they don’t like that it happened .. nkt that they don’t like the post.
