Has anyone been to the site of the twin towers, did you feel anything strange. I was in America about 2 yrs ago and was walking around, by chance I ended up at ground zero, but before i knew what it was, I felt empty but at the same time a huge amount of love, it was nite and men where working on the site yet it was so peaceful.
To anyone who knew or lost anyone in 9-11 my heart and thoughts are with you, may you know that you woke the hearts of the nation's... God bless!!!!!

I have to write a paper for my expository writing class and I need a topic. The topic has to have something to do with the media. Examples we read in class were: internet hate sites, spam, censorship of war photos. I cannot think of a good topic to write about. The paper only has to be 750 words, so I don't need a ton of information.

You must ask why? Our government is not soo stupid as to leave all of this open to chance discovery. I believe WE staged the whole thing and WE planned for it to look like alqueda, and WE planned for it to be exposed AS US eventually but why? To destroy the trust and faith the American ppl have in our govt. system for some yet to be unveiled plan. A plan of New World Order of which a HERO will suddenly come out of nowhere and step in to SAVE THE WORLD from our horrible govts. that have betrayed us. All one BIG plan. Again, why? If you are a Christian.....you may know. Even if not...have you seen THE OMEN? LEFT BEHIND? Watch these and then watch 911 COVER UP found on the Google sight. Then do the math. As a human I am very afraid...as a Christian I am also excited and filled with anticipation. Dont just "Remember 911" ask yourself why and look at a possible sinister and evil plot of world domination.

And please don't just say "A country with 50 states run by the president" or anything like that. Please give me what you really think that the United States of America is, and even what it was intended to be.

The observatory was called Top of the World, it was in the north tower I believe, the one with the antenna. I visited there once, I was just wondering if anyone died that worked there. Not sure what time it opened that morning, but if it was 9, I'd imagine that anyone that was there did not survive since it was so high up and the north tower was the first to be hit.

For me, September 11th was a wake up call, I realized that I took for granted what it meant to be an american. I have never felt pain like the day of September 11th, and I hope I never do again. I understand was its like to mourn and grieve with an entire nation. 9/11, to me, was the day the world stood still, and I hope its a day I never forget.
3,047 UNJUSTICE deaths were a result of the cowardly attacks of that day. 3,521 children, CHILDREN lost their parents. That day was hell on earth in so many ways.

Please, feel free to say what you would like about 9/11 here, how it made you feel, where you were when it happened, how it affected you, etc.

My apartment manager just griped me out for hanging the American Flag off the balcony. He said "my boss is coming over, and he won't like that"
I have read the lease agreement, and there's nothing in there saying anything about hanging from the balcony. I could go hang myself if i wanted to. . LOL. . . . But seriously, there's nothing in the lease about hanging a flag or anything to that matter.

I remember the morning of September 11th very vividly. I wasn't working because I was still on maternity leave from having just had a baby 1 month prior. My husband was driving, we only had 1 car at the time and I wanted to keep the car for the day. We were waiting to make a left on the street that his job was on. When the light turned red before our car could make it across the intersection. My husband got very upset because he didn't make it. Then on the radio they cut the music off and said the were going to make an important announcment. Thats when they mentioned that an airplane had crashed into the WTC. I figured it was an accident, but I felt an uncontrolable feeling of sadness for the people who were impacted. Little did I know, it wasn't going to be just 50 or 60 people.

When I got home, I turned on the TV to watch the talk shows I had been keeping up with while I was home. Not one channel was showing regular programming. It was all news about what had happened. The

I knew three people very well and had four ex-employees in WTC that day, all died.

Todd Hill from Boston just happened to stay at the Marriott WTC and was going to meet me for lunch on 9/11.

Samantha and Lisa Egan from NJ both worked at Cantor-Fitzgerald.

I miss them all terribly and I had to watch for nearly three hours as dozens of people had to jump off the building and went right past my office window. I often pray I could have reached out and saved just one.

Republicans often point fingers at me but all of us suffered that day.

Did anyone else know as many folks as I did that died that day?

Does anyone else have remembrances?
