I was on my way to work. This was before SiriusXM. I was listening to the local news station AM 640. They went live to New York with the report of the first airplane into building one. Then the report of the second attack I knew it was a terrorist attack.
Kaiser Permanente put televisions in the offices and we watched the coverage as the plane hit the Pentagon. Almost everyone went home.
The coverage later with George W Bush and the loud horn was simply amazing.
I have some in-laws who were married 9/11/1999. For a while they were annoyed that their anniversary date became something else. I think they're over it now.

i have a cop friend who got married on 9/11 early 90's, perhaps 93. the reason he gave for picking this date was since he was in law enforcement he would never forget his anniversary with it falling on 9-1-1.
Post of the Day: “Every Day Is 9/11. That’s Exactly The Problem.”
The fact is, at all three levels of my brain, every day is 9/11.
Yesterday was.
Tomorrow will be.
Today is just a happy conjunction of reality and the construct of “the Gregorian” calendar.
Nothing more nor less.
Because the murdering, semi-literate goat-humpers who perpetrated the act we remember are still out there.
We (you, me, Western civilization, etc.) haven’t delivered to them the Third Punic War level of recompense they richly deserve, because reasons. Mostly bullshit ones, at that.
It’s too much.
Hey, fuckwit, they wiped out international air travel for months, vaporized billions in the economy of every nation in the world, including the ones least able to absorb that, not just ours in the U.S., engendering a decade-plus series of wars and thousands to tens of thousands of casualties, that really hasn’t stopped since they started circa the 7th Century, and won’t until we end the problem, by ending the problem children.
Sorry if that unvarnished reality spoils your breakfast, but shit happens.
It’s mean.
Really, dipshit? Meaner than destroying the lives of thousands of strangers in the service of your child-molesting leader, and his fanatical devotion to an imaginary death-cult deity?
Meaner than setting buildings on fire, and subjecting thousands of strangers to slow torture by fire, smoke, and worst of all, the time to contemplate the full hopelessness of their situation, such that they’d rather, in hundreds of cases, try flying from the 80th floor of a skyscraper rather than burn to death, or wait to be crushed under hundreds of tons of smoking rubble, screaming all the way to the impact at the bottom?
Okay, you win. I hereby concede that justice demands that every fanatical follower of theirs, including their bomb-toting children, should only be lit on fire, and kicked out of an aircraft at altitude, to scream in unspeakable agony the entire way until impact. Call it Hammurabi 2.0.
Happy now?
That’s not who we are.
You got a mouse in your pocket, soy-boi?
Who we are is a disgrace. Who we should be, are the guys who nuked Mecca and Medina, same day, then slaughtered everything left after that, in a feat worthy of Genghis Khan, and then introduced endangered species to graze there in perpetuity, so as to have enough lions and crocodiles handy to feed any stragglers to for the next few centuries.

precisely.
0linsky forgave in his cairo apology speech. and that cannot be forgiven either.
I remember reading the book 'Let's Roll' by Lisa Beamer about the heroes on flight 93. It was a good read.

If those sources were all anonymous and claimed to know someone who told them something... then Roger would buy that book too.

well, the subtitle for woodward's book could be "let's troll."
A 9/11 hero's lasting impact on rugby Mark Bingham saved countless lives by helping stop United Flight 93 from reaching its target, but it's the lives he saved and those he's impacted since that help to define his legacy.

I don't think that on this day should be political. Those who lost their lives matter.
At least on this thread.

Just watched four minute 911 video with series of pics to The Sound of Silence by Disturbed. Nice. Google it and check it out.
