In Memory of 9/11

A look back at 9/11/06 five Years Later

Sep 11, 2006

My reflection on that horrible day five years ago.

September 11, 2006:

I'll never forget that day

Listening to Mark Hanes on CNBC cover the story in disbelief as the second tower started to smoke and we thought it was bombs inside...

Watching the people jump out of the WTC as it burned down...

Wondering if Lakshman was OK...he was there for a meeting.....

Then learning it was planes that flew into the towers....

Then learning the Pentagon was hit by a plane

Then learning a plane went down in a field in Pennsylvania

Then seeing the towers collapse..

One of the few times in my life I remember crying as events unfolded....

Our thoughts as we watched in horror are archived here.

1. Kirk - World Trade Center

I was watching CNBC showing one tower of the World trade center on fire when the other tower exploded!

Maria B called in and said she saw a 2nd plane fly into the 2nd tower!

As I was watching the futures crashed....

CRAP!

5 Kirk - Pentagon has been hit!

The pentagon is on fire.

7. September 11, 2001 6:53 AM

Kirk - White house being evacuated

Capital building also evacuated.

Warning.

Don't go near any major landmarks!

Center of US Financial Markets - World Trade Center - Attacked and on fire. NYC shut down, can't get in or out... Tunnels closed...

Center of US Military Power attacked.

People being reported dropping out of WTC to avoid the heat! Jumping to their quicker deaths...

Sad... very, very sad.

Feel free to add your thoughts here.

I was amazed by how united we as a nation were in the days and weeks after this attack.

I am frustrated by how so many have lost their focus 5 years later. This nation has ADHD! I assure you our enemies don't forget, have long memories and never stopped fighting the crusaders a thousand years ago.

I am disgusted that we are treating the biggest threat to the free world since WW II as a police action. Every day we hear how the military is compromised, handcuffed, second guessed, demoralized. We will not win this war this way. This war will last for decades or until we allow the enemy to defeat us.

For those of you with children, I pity you and them.

<b>I am frustrated by how so many have lost their focus 5 years later.</b>
The loss of focus began with Bush, when, instead of going after our true enemy, Al Queda, he lied to the American people and created a phony case for war against Iraq. He was hell bent on that way before 9/11, from the moment he took control of the White House. Now, he has bogged our troops down with no good way out. He has become the biggest recruiter for Al Queda, and the beast is growing by the day.

runner26, thank you for proving my point.

You are entitled to your opinion and it is just that logic that is and will destroy this once great nation.

I don't mean to belittle you nor debate you. I had my say and you had yours. No doubt many agree with each comment.
