Current Events - September 2006

On September 11.2001 Comercial Airliners struck the North and South towers of The World Trade Center, and the Pentagon. The Pentagon was restored completely within the follow year. The World Trade Center is still in Limbo. It is interesting to me that it is a reflection of the state of the United States. The Pentagon is a symbol of the Military and quickly resolved its self to resolving the problems. The World Trade Center is a symbol of the commercial might of the US and therefore a Civillian Symbol. Yet today amid this anniversary of the attacks it remains a hole in the civillian psyche.LEST WE FORGET. That was the motto of the day in 2001. Yet now we are as divided, as the architects and planners, and survivors, and the Government of New York as to what to do with this Hole in the Ground. Comments please!

The planes crashed into the corners of the buildings, how did the buildings fall in a vertical position?!
when engineers make a building collapse, they do researches on how to put the dynamites in special places so that it collapses vertically, now how did the WTC collapse very accuratly vertically????

i saw a documentry the other day about people who were trapped in the elevators, and another showing minute by minute as it happen (with so reinactment).

with the elevators, some elevators were equipt with special doors to prevent people from opening them if they should become stuck in them. the only way open them was with a crowbar.

the minute by minute (with reanactment) showed how many stairwells were locked both from above the impact (which could have been their olny way out), and locked from most other spots that pretty much slowed down the rescue, and exiting times.

what else did the WTC have problems with?

I personally have no fear of moslems although I wouldn't want to be in a moslem country, in the US I don't have an issue with them. Howver the people that are here from Louisiana and central america that bring their gangs and violence to my city are alot more of a problem to me. My freedom hasn't been taken away by moslems and I live 1 block from a mosque, my freedon has been taken away by the hispanics and blacks. I can't walk down my street after dark because of them. Almost all murders in my city are committed by hispanics and blacks, never a moslem although they are often the victims of these thugs when they are shot and robbed at their stores and businesses.

I know Americans everywhere are reliving & remembering the events of 9/11/2001, but the sight of the flags lowered to half-staff really hit me this morning; the physical symbol of our Nations' grief drives it home more than anything I've seen on television to this point. If anyone else wishes to share their views with me on this subject, I would like to hear how you feel. Thank you . . .

How many more years is there going to be alll day coverage of the 911 anniversy? It was a tragic thing that happened but many other people have been killed in other events and we don't spend every years anniversy observing their deaths. These people where like anyone else, they just happened to be at the wrong place at the wrong time and none of them are heroes as they were at work or as the rescuers were doing, just doing there job, firefighters are hired to fight fires and rescue people. It is just as tragic when one individual is killed but it isn't deemed as important as when thousands get killed, but to the family it is just as much of a loss. Isn't it time to move on and focus on the living?

On September 11, 2001?

That was the day I went back to work from maternity leave with my daughter... What a welcome back to work. I worked in a nursing home and we had to go into lock down and do our disaster preparedness procedures, needless to say my first day back was hectic! The residents were scared because they knew we were doing the disaster procedures, but could not understand why..

I remember it so vividly. In the beginning. Soon after the start of the war in Iraq,.
"We are NOT an occupying force," came cries of denial from Donald Rumsfeld, and the Generals, and the President....
Denials. Denials.
But I think I already knew differently. When US troops stormed into Downtown Baghdad,, and I saw that clip..of a U.S. soldier, hoisting a United States flag......
Oh it was soon taken down. But the image was still there. It was such a humm, BOLD and disturbing move.
Then came Colin Powell, after weeks of denial also, letting it slip that we were "occupying" Iraq.
And then Bush.,denying, denying. Continuous assurances that we were there "to bring freedom and democracy" to the Iraqi people.
But finally relenting.
"Yes, we are occupying."
When will we learn....
or no...
its more that our government has to stop lying to us. I thnk, even as we might not like what they do, that if they do it and not lie about it, this government would be far more respected.

"......Please give our collective loss and pain meaning beyond hate and vengeance. Hate breeds nothing but more hate. Hate is why we are no longer here to be with our loved ones. Please remember
that we are all brothers and sisters on this earth. Life is precious, short, and priceless. Hate does nothing but destroy. Hate begets hate. War begets war. Reach out and hug your loved ones, be it a
friend, sister, brother, father, mother, son, daugher, or grandparent. Remember, our last words were of love, not hate or
vengeance......"tell Mommy I always loved both of you with all of
my heart, never forget that"......."Honey, I'm so glad we met. Thank
you for all the love and time we shared."......"John, when you get this message, remember, you gave me the best and happiest
years of my life" Do try to understand those that would hate you.
Let the strongest and wisest among us build a bridge of love and
common humanity that nothing can tear asunder. Only then can
we live in peace...."
