Well. It's THAT day.
Those older than me can tell you where they were when it happened.
I can safely say I was crawling around in ignorant bliss, not even ten months old.
A mere two hundred and sixteen leagues away, a couple thousand people were not so fortunate. The western world watched in horror as they jumped to avoid the flames.
Twenty-two years later and it still remains the most devastating attack on US soil. 9/11 is shockingly uncontroversial except for a couple of fringe types and edgy internet comedians, it seems that most of us can agree that it was a horrific act.

13 AntwortenWe remember, but we must remember what Ron Paul said. It happened for a reason. It was senseless but not causeless. A yearly reminder that the United States Government does not always act in the interest of goodness and freedom. Truly our hubris must not be forgotten. In memoriam. Why must people so often die for others' selfishness and greed?

2 AntwortenI still plainly remember all the events of what happened, and pretty much most of what I did that whole day. I saw a local news report last night where it said that those who weren't born are being taught what happened. My concern is - what exactly are they telling them? So much of what is going into our schools today is not the history that we were taught, or lived through. It also mentioned how many Americans are dismissive of it today, which is expected I suppose, but sad. I mean I wasn't around for Pearl Harbor, but this particular event (and many others I was not around for) stick with me as things that should not be dismissed nor forgotten. 9/11 was a wake up call. It made our countrymen band together in a way I had never experienced before, that lasted in varying degrees for about a year or 2 after. Today we're a country divided by completely asinine things, to the point that I don't know if another "wake up call" would have the same affect.

I was in 2nd grade math class when the teacher turned on the TV with tears in her eyes.

What I found really surprising is that literally none of my teachers spoke about it and treated it like a super touchy topic and I believe that while it can be hard for people that were personally affected, it’s still important to discuss and understand.

3 AntwortenBearbeitet von Speaker: 9/12/2023 2:17:32 PMMy friend remembers living in the city during and after it. He told me it was terrifying for weeks. No one would travel around, no one wanted to... He said the morning of the attack, everything was moving as normal, during the attack things kept moving; it wasn't until the second plane hit that everything slowly ground to a halt. Trains offline, buses disappeared, cars rerouted, foot-traffic practically non existent. He said he walked around all day later that week, barely saw anyone. In a city of nearly 8 million; What an eerie thought.

4 AntwortenSenior year of high school. For those too young to remember it's hard to understand just how angry and hurt people were. We were in Virginia but several local EMTs were called up to NY to help out. From what they said it was less helping and more sifting the rubble for parts. Not bodies, parts. Had several friends enlist as a result of the attack. Most came back. Some came back in boxes. A few never came back at all.
