I wept

[dcentity2000]

I just saw a documentary on 9/11 and I admit it, I cried.

How could anyone do such an evil crime?

There is no answer to this.

Actually Dude, I'm glad you wept. I think we need a whole bunch more people like you around. compassion and feelings are in short supply lately.

I also think it's a good sign that we can't understand these people. I don't think I ever, ever want to get to the point where I could understand how any one could knowingly sit on a plane next to innocent children and willingly kill them is beyond my comprehension and personally that's a dark place in hell I don't ever want to occupy.

I missed the documentary that was on last year (was it Bravo? Can't remember the channel that played it) and I was so upset I missed it. Not that I want to necessarily relive that day, but rather I want to never ever forget it. I lost a friend, a colleague, an officer...that day. It was beyond comprehension, beyond forgiveness. When those responsible die they are in for a rude awakening when they are judged.

2 weeks ago we stayed in NYC at the Hilton-Millenium..our window faced 'ground zero'. Every morning I got up and looked into the abyss and remembered, I too shed a tear. It was profoundly devastating and disturbing that humanity could commit such an atrocity.

I still cry when I watch anything relating to 9/11. Recently watched Mets highlights showing the 1st game they played after 9/11. I cried. And now the National anthem makes me cry, thinking how great our country really is even with our faults

My daughter's first day of high school was on 9-11-01. Looking back at that
1st day of school photo with a smiling, excited kid, we always think ...who would have known that 2 1/2 hrs later all hell would break loose.

Fast forward to her going off to college. She became great friends with a group of girls on her dorm floor. One of the girls being the daughter of Orio Palmer who was a fire chief in NY.

(Orio Palmer is notable because the team he led reached the 78th floor of the South Tower. When an audiotape of communication with the firefighters were released they revealed that firefighters did not anticipate the building's collapse. Palmer, issuing an order to one of his subordinates, was recorded seconds before the building collapses.
Footage of Palmer was used in the film "In Memoriam: New York City, 9/11/01)

On September 11 of their freshman year of college there was a candle light memorial on campus. This new group of friends went with "Jane" to support her knowing this was probably a difficult day for her. The following year these 10 girls shared a suite.
Sept 2006 my daughter watched for the first time a documentary about 9-11.
She said when she heard the radio transmissions from Orio she just fell apart and cried like a baby knowing it was her friend's father.

On a more positive note the girls decided to do a group picture Christmas card. It was great. All 11 girls had great big smiles, and all graduated this past May. Thoughl she has to endure the loss of her dad at the young age of 14 yrs old... she is very well adjusted and a happy young lady.

Jennasis...I am sorry for your loss. We share a bond on that day. I lost friends, family and customers. It gets more difficult, it has not gotten easier and this year is going to be hard. My one friend would have been turning 30 on Sept. 13, so its tough.

I just ask that on that day everyone sheds a tear or 2 and remembers all those lives that were lost. Wear Red, whie and blue for them. It is the least we can do.

Religion

It was done in the name of religion...but it was religion perverted by man. I am not a Muslim (I'm a Christian) but I think so many things have been done in both directions (Christian against Muslim and Muslim against Christian) because of men using that religion to accomplish what they personally wanted to accomplish.

I still avoid ground zero.

I live close enough to see the skyline everyday but I haven't been there since the towers are gone.

I'm very sorry for everyone's losses. I think we all lost a bit of something that day, even if we were fortunate enough not to lose loved ones.

I try to talk about it with my son now and I automatically start crying. He's sixteen now and remembers it, but he says it's fuzzy. I remember it like it was last week.

There's a special that comes on every year (I believe it's on HBO?) and it's the people who were filming a documentary in the second building. All it is is their footage. I'm getting goosebumps just thinking about it. You can see and hear the shear panic when the first plane hit and then see what's happening when the film crew gets out of the second building. My mouth is always open by the time I finish watching it with tears in my eye. I am so grateful for every second I have here on Earth.

And also every time I get on a flight (which is fairly often) I think about the people on board the planes. Not in a "I hope it doesn't happen to me" (cause of course no one does) but I think about what they must've been thinking about and doing. Those people were so brave.

So much bravery and courageousness (even at the expense of their own lives) was displayed that day and THAT is what brings a tear to my eye most of all. They will never be forgotten.
