Why don't you wait for 9/11 before posting a 9/11 thread .

[adactthrd]

Apparently you don't keep track of much

[Nurba]

Apparently, I do.

[mealiusarses]

Does it matter where, Imran? Why the sore spot over timing of a thread on 9/11? Not that I give a damn. Just curious.

By mid-October I will have a chance to pay my respects to the 9/11 memorial they have at the Pentagon.

Ah 9/11. What was the greater tragedy? The event itself or the events that occurred because of it?

Ah 9/11. What was the greater tragedy? The event itself or the events that occurred because of it? When Taiwan is nuked, and you and everyone you know, from your great grandmother and her pathetic knitting store to your uncle and his horribly unfunny attempt at being Western and useful (I'm referring to his 'IM WITH STUPID' tshirt), are vaporized and propelled into millions of particles by the Chinese arsenal, I doubt anyone will notice enough to bother making a thread about it. Where is Taiwan again anyway?

Sloww, living in Jersey those years when they were building the WTC we got to see them reach ever higher for the sky on the local news. Then when they were finished my dad brought the family and we went to see them. We went up on the elevators to the top of the one with the observation floor. Up there when you looked out the only thing at your level was the other tower. New York spread out below... I was a kid so I went right up to the window, pressed my head against the glass and looked down. Immediatly I got a sense of the ground rushing up at me as my eyes focused on it. That cause me to jump back like I'd een slapped. I never though too much about it until I saw those great buildings come down.

Pissed me off royally. I won't forget.

I miss the Towers. Saw them every day for the four years going to my high school, which was about five blocks north of ground zero. Then I worked in the area later, so I got to walk by the remains of the Deutsche Bank building daily. I would have preferred something similar to the towers going up, instead of the hideous "Freedom" Tower.

Being in NYC that day, anywhere in the City, was somewhat surreal. First time I turned on the radio that I could remember, given that I had only one broadcast channel on TV, since every station but one transmitted thier signal from the WTC.

Olberman and Williams both went completely out of control that night. It was hilarious. Both deserved what they got.
