Answer 1

Unlike most Americans, I was aware of the reality that the United States is not immune from attack, it is not 'different' from the rest of the world, and it is not 'special.'

Ergo, I felt nothing because it did not come as a surprise. The nonsense that it was the greatest disaster of all is absurd. These are the thoughts of people who are so removed from the rest of the world that they honestly believe nothing outside of America matters. They are gravely mistaken.

I know everyone will 'thumbs down' this comment and will likely criticize me because of my 'lack of patriotism,' but the reality is if you did not see this coming, then you are either very young, incredibly naive, or too stupid to realize that America is not 'better than this.' It's a shame that innocent people died, but the concept of 'being attacked' is in no way shocking or horrifying. It's a part of life. People need to get over themselves and the nonsense that 'this changed the history of the world.' It will go down as a minor historical event, not as a civilization-altering moment. The arrogance of Americans is astounding, and is part of the reason why we are being attacked.

Answer 2

Is the same day many other disasters occurred, for instance the Mountain Meadows Massacre, where Brigham Young the Mormon Prophet ordered his men to dress as INdians, attack and murder Pioneers from Arkansas and steal their children.

A movie is coming out starring Jon Voight (Angelina Jolie's Father) And the Mormons are seething.

It is a matter of history, and if you check that date many have chosen it to do terrible deeds, cooincidence? It's probably some ritualistic anniverary only a chosen few know about, or maybe it is a cooincidence.

Terrible leaders do terrible thing and hide behind their dusty book of scriptures, most fals leaders are consistent in this

Answer 3

September 11th is remembered to millions around the world as a moment in time we will all remember exactly where we were and who we were with that day.

As a native New Yorker i was in disbelief the day it happened, i couldnt beleive this happened in my city. I had just flew out the day before to go and see my GF. I dropped to my knees and put my head in my hands, i found myself without words. I called my mom and dad, who both worked in the city and couldnt get in touch with them for hours. Fortunatly they were both ok, my mom worked on madison ave so she was safe and my dad wasnt even in the city. I felt helpless as i watched the rescue workers sift through the rubble in search of survivors, my GF had to hold me back from flying back down there to voulnteer.

How do i feel now? A little disguested honestly. All of a sudden it was "fashionable" to be american. The american flag became an accessory instead of a statement of freedom. So many questions presented themselves in my head, i was, and still am confused.

Answer 4

September 11th is remembered to millions around the world as the day America realized we weren't invisible.

Answer 5

around the world as....a tragic day.

I was shocked beyond belief when I figured out what was going on. I came home, flipped on the TV, and there was one of the buildings going down. What I thought at the time was that here again was a TV news show running a promo for some disaster movie but wow they were sure getting the special effects down good. It took some time for it to sink in that it was real. As you know those buildings were ordinarily occupied by as many as 30,000 people, so I was horrified to realize that that many people might have been murdered.

It was a time of great sadness and depression. I cried. I cried when CSPAN presented the graduation of the next class of NY Fire Fighters because they had hundreds of slots to fill of the heros who had died trying to save others. It still shakes me up. I send all my love and compassion to the NY Fire Fighters and the heroic Police who tried so desparately to save the innocent. May their families find solace and peace. May the souls of the dead heros repose in eternal peace and the warm love of God. And may the souls of the evil people who did this burn forever in the deepest pit of hell along with anybody who supported them, forever. Amen.

Answer 6

9-11 to me is the day all our innocence was lost.

I was in an airport, Reno/Tahoe to be exact, waiting on the 6:50 A.M. Delta flight to take me back east. I heard a gate agent say we were delayed because of "That mess back east.". I walked down to a coffee shop on the concourse. It had a TV. I watched the video of the second plane crashing into the tower. Called home, let my family know I was fine. I walked to baggage claim, called The Silver Legacy reserved a room. Checked in watched TV all day and into the night. Next day rented a car from Budget and started driving east. Drove from Reno to Charleston, SC in three days. Note; Hertz, may they roast in hell, wanted to rent me a car in Reno for $395/day. I rented from Budget for normal rate ($60).

On 9/12/07 the headline on Paris' "Match" translated to "We are all Americans today." We had the empathy and sympathy of most of the world. That good will was quickly killed by the current administration. America has never been so despised around the world. That's a sad commentary of our government's ineptness.

Answer 7

. Sept. 11 was just another pretext for disasterous U.S. forign policy. It was certianly NOT a civilization altering event.

We don't go around today wailing about the Haymarket Bombing and evil forign anarchists, but back in the 1890s it was the hysteria of the day.

This too shall pass into the dustbin of history as an event of little overall significance.

Answer 10

September 11th is regarded as the most remarkable day for disaster. I felt sorry and I couldn't eat that day. I don't want to recollect and picture that horrible event. It could be classified as the world most disaster ever happened.
