Just pausing for a moment in our busy lives to remember those who died and the events of that day, 7 years ago.

Thanks,

[Dave Wood]

RIP Bobby K. You sure are missed.

when the attacks happened

i was in middle school

nothing happened at all

no class work,home work,P.E.,tests

nothing

it was a sad day

many kids went to the councelers office crying when the news showed the people jumping

that was the day i learned the the united states is the most hated nation in the world

R.I.P to all the people that were lost

I was a junior in Hight School. and in American History class when I first heard. once we heard of the plane crashing in Somerset. We all left for the day. I spent the rest of the day watching CNN

Australians were and still are very moved by these events. Our alliance with the US has been strengthened (even if I don't agree with all the policies) in the years that have past which I see as a positive outcome. I too have memories of that day or in fact that night as it was here. My mother and brother woke me up but I couldn't bare to watch anymore so I went back to bed. That morning when I awoke again to get ready for school (year 12) I began to comprehend the situation. RIP to all those who lost their lives.

ohhhh yes I was in 5th grade and I went to my "homeroom" and my teacher had the tv on and she was crying, we had NO IDEA, and I was just looking thinking, ok, a plane crash but when we went throughout the broadcast and was listening to it, it clicked and it was just silent, I couldn't believe it, it was a weird feeling. When they showed the people jumping, this one kid had to go to the nurse because he was about to throw up and some were crying, I just stared in disbelive. We were sent home early and before we left my teacher told us a little something about the twin towers and them meaning ang the US as looked at throughout the world. I went home and sat with my mom and dad on the couch just watching this all night.

RIP to all that were lost, all the firefighters and paramedics, inocent helpers, and everybody that was a hero no that day and thank you MARINES AND ARMED FORCES FOR FIGHTING FOR US TO LIVE AND FOR OUR FREEDOM AND TO SHOW THAT WE DIDN'T FALL. IT AIN'T FREE AND YOU CHOOSE TO SHOW THEM THAT WE WON'T BACK DOWN!

Yeah...one of those days when you will always remember where you were. I remember vividly. You see I am a retired NYC Police Officer, I ended up with 6 screws in my right knee and 4 in my left, along with 54 stitches from a gash on my lower back when the Second Tower came down. I was lucky....so many gave so, so, so much more. 9/11 was a day that changed history and changed lives. With all the things I saw that day and the days thereafter, many a person asks me about it. What I tell them is what I will tell you guys, my modeling family. In all my years working those streets (South Bronx) it was such a wonderful thing, probably the most amazing thing I have ever seen next to the births of my daughters and that was, no matter what color you were, what social or economic background you came from, no matter what political party or views you may have, no matter what religion you practice, no matter if you build NASCAR or Replica Stock, Custom or ProTouring, Curbside or Super Detailed, people came together in a way that I will never, never forget. It showed me (believe me I never thought it could happen) that it can be done, people are good and we live in the "GREATEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD"...

Well...none of my friends or family were there , thanks God, but I was so sad about this terrible moment, because I Know what is like to have someone in the family or a friend missing without explanation what so ever. Also , it was one of my favorite skyscrapers, I did visit them many times, I have photos, books , DVD's and drawings. I even got to know Mr. Leslie Robertson in New York, the Structural Designer of the Twin Towers, he autographed two books for me. What I don't agree is that the new structure that will be constructed in the same space is very dif. and does not represent our nation like the World Trade Center. I did go to New York when all the proposed designs were in exhibit for the public, and none realy satisfy me .If I was the President of USA I would of done the same Twin Towers again, and let the world know that we are still standing for our freedom and willing to fight for it ..........Above and Beyond....Barbo.

now im not trying to start anything here

but exactly why did they fall

after doing reasearch on them and on the planes

the steel was heat treated melting point was at 3000 degrees at least(couldn't get an exact number security threat)

and the fuels burning temp was 2000 degrees

now im not a expert but there is a huge difference between 2000 and 3000

so those toweres should be still standing

also i watched the vid multiple times

and those were two of the most perfect collapses ever

plus the fell at the free fall speed

something isn't adding up here

I was on the Brooklyn waterfront. I watched the second plane hit. I watched both buildings come down. Like Jay, I was stunned at the way New Yorkers treated each other that day and in the days after. After the buildings fell, I was at the foot of the Brooklyn Bridge, watching thousands of people walk over from Manhattan, many of them covered in soot and ash. I watched members of Williamsburg's Hasidic Jewish community hand out hundreds of bottles of water and usher people into their own cars to drive them to different parts of Brooklyn, or somplace where those who had just walked could more easily get home. In the following days, we were just nicer to each other. Growing up in NYC, you learn quickly not to look strangers in the face for too long...its kind of considered an act of aggression to do so, but not in the days following the attacks. At that time people made it a point to look at each other and smile and ask if you were okay, you'd hold doors open for strangers and talk to them. It was surreal; it brought us closer together.
