9 / 11

The inscription on a wall at the National September 11 Memorial Museum is very fitting:

"No day shall erase you from the memory of time."

There are only 3 moments in national history that I remember exactly where I was when they each happened: JFK's assassination, the Challenger explosion, and 9/11. :sad:

Space Shuttle Challenger disaster - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_Shuttle_Challenger_disaster)

I remember all my personal details of two of those. I was only four in 1963.

Once again, just watched the 20 minute condensed video replay of 9/11/01 from the time the first plane hit till about 3 hours later - TV news coverage. Yes, it was just like yesterday with the same pit-of-the-stomach feelings.

I always say, we USA folks, should always live as if this terror can occur once again on our shores and support the combat against these animals.

Unfortunately many of our folks forgive, forget, or are too oblivious to the reality.

This is a really good video about that horrible day and the firemen lost in it.

I was on the 68th floor of the Empire State Building where I worked as a Director of HR. At 8:30 or so I went to the front to tell receptionist that I had a 9am interview scheduled. As I turned around to go back to my office I saw through our floor to ceiling windows flames coming out of the tower. I thought it was an internal explosion. At that time of day employees were arriving and we were gathered at the window watching the fire – and then we saw the 2nd plane strike! We self-evacuated about ten minutes before the building announced an evacuation.

Walked down 68 floors – midway removed my high heels and walked barefoot. There was an eerie almost silent scene of chaos and pandemonium in the streets (my imagery is somewhat flawed but I don’t know how else to describe it) – surreal.

Looking south in the middle of 5th Avenue I saw the towers collapse. Headed north and walked to my sister’s apartment on 79th street and Riverside Drive where I stayed the night since there was virtually no transportation to get home to Brooklyn.

It was and always will be unforgettable. This will be the first year since then that I don’t get to watch the memorial services and the reading of the names at the site.

God Bless America.

I will never forget

I will never forget the call from my son telling me he was okay. Reaction was, "why wouldn't you be okay? He then informed me of what had happened as I was totally unaware because the place I was working at had televisions but as a general rule, no one was allowed to watch.

BTW - He was only a few blocks away in a basement office, when the first plane hit He felt the building shake and went upstairs to see the first plane sticking out of the tower.

Never forget!!!

We will never ever forget! God Bless Our Country!

I remember. I was working in the US Capitol. We were evacuated because they thought Flight 93 that went down in Pennsylvania was headed for the Capitol. The Capitol Police kept screaming over and over "run, run, they are going to shoot it down". The Pentagon was still smoldering when we were allowed to go home later that day.

On a side note-- We had several college students at church this morning. The Pastor asked if they remembered 911. They all said "no".

Urbana lost Alicia Titus who was a flight attendant on United Flight 175, which crashed into the South Tower of the World Trade Center. I attended with many Boy Scouts and others a two hour long event at Rotary Freedom Grove Park honoring her memory and the others lost that fateful day. Mr. Titus talked about the loss of a daughter.

I remember, and the families of the thousands of people that died that day remembers. To those that remember so well, why are we coddling to the Muslims in our country as we are? It's only a matter of time before something as devastating is tried again....

I don't understand it either. After all the suffering. Faith can only take us so far we need action.
