lmfao u made me lol a giant thing is going on and your in the bathroom u just made my day =3

I've gotta say, I don't find that very funny Eternity.

I was 6 or 7 at the time, and I had no idea what had happened until I got home and my parents were upset. The explanation I got was pretty vague, it wasn't until later that I really grasped what had happened. Definitely a weird time to be a kid at that age, you're a little too oldtobeunawareand a little too young to really get it. 

believe me i get it its just that things have been horrible lately and i needed something like that 2 cheer me up also I don't really enjoy bringing up topics from the past about many deceased people.

Then simply don't read/post on topics such as this.

I for one was in a very similar situation as Cirras, I as well was either 6 or 7 and in elementary at the time. The entire situation never really struck me until a few years later when I understood the actual effect it had on society, the world, and even my own family. I don't knowanyonepersonally who had family there at the Trade Center, but god bless the victims.

Same, but i was 4 at that time :o

Yep.

it was horriffic and surreal to see the second tower be hit live on TV, I was working at a truckstop at that time andsomeone called me into the drivers lounge because of the fire in the other tower(it was still unclear exactly what had happened at that point). I walked in just as the second tower was hit

my take on it with 10 years perspective:

it was the neo-con equivalent of the reichstag fire, and the patriot act could be equated with the enabling act

it was an excuse to invade nations of our choice anywhere we wanted to, and we wanted Iraq's oil make no mistake

it further enabled the pilfering of the economy as huge amounts of tax monies were allocated for "security"  with contractors like Halliburton, KBR and blackwater making out like bandits thanks to no bid contracts

the only question in my mind is did the Bush administration make it happen or did they merely let it happen

i celebrated my 9th birthday on September, 11,2001  :/ 

Terrorism is always a bad thing. That fact didnt make me more sad than other terrorism action that happened on the world. Every day, dying more people than 3000 because they dont have to eat, Middle east got wars for more than 30 years, africa is no1 on deaths from Aids. I worry more for them. Offcourse i feel sad for that day, i admire the people who risked their lifes to save other, but mostly i suprised how USA let that happened. Supposed that they got the best millitary defence, i know they had informations about it and they did nothing to prevent it? Too bad for people who died, them and other in the rest of the world, who die for evil plans of terrorist, for goverment's mistakes OR their own plans. Rest In Peace to them, and God save their souls.....
