Yes, I remember watching it in second grade on TV. It still amazes me that there really are sick, twisted people in this world

Drucilla · September 2008

I also cant believe that it's been 3 years (last July) since the London bombings. It literally makes me sick that there are such evil people out there.

SunnyDaysDontLie · September 2008

Yus. It annoys the living daylights out of me, not to mention hurts, because of the 3000 people that died.

Frapple · September 2008

it amazed me about some of the stories that caused people to be late to work such as: the guy that went to take his son to the first day of kindergarten the guy that had to buy a bandaid because his new shoes put a blister on his foot the guy that had to buy donuts because it was his turn it just amazes me that these people were put in that place for a specific purpose.

SunnyDaysDontLie · September 2008

Yeah

LuvMe · September 2008

we watched a slide show bout this in class today....half the class cried

SunnyDaysDontLie · September 2008

If it wern't for the fact that I keep my emotions under my shell, I would have.

LuvMe · September 2008

ditto

TuffGirl · September 2008

We didn't have class today, *sigh* Hurricane Ike is coming straight at us

SunnyDaysDontLie · September 2008

Hmm Lucky. Who is with me on this: Sept. 11 should be made a national holiday.

Frapple · September 2008

i dont know about national... it didnt really affect the whole world, but it would sure be nice not to have school today! lol

a-sap · September 2008

I remember exactly 7 years ago I was in school (a small grade), and our middle school had no tv, no internet, nothing, all they knew was that something horrid happened, and parents were pulling their kids out of school. They all can into out school, just to gather in the main office and watch the only tv with cable to see what was going on. They wouldn't tell us what was happening, they told us lies, to make us feel better. I remember someone got a call from their mom, saying their Grandma might be dead, but the school wouldn't tell the boy why, just that part of the message. One of my close friends heard from his mom who worked at the school, that a plane crashed in New York, and many people were killed. It was 133 miles away from us, we have many inportant things in our state, so we were scared. They kept classes in our school going as normal, so we wouldn't get too scared, but rumurs pread fast when there are only 60 kids in your grade. When I got home, my mom told me, and I didn't understand much, just that some planes flew into some buildings. I didn't relize the importance until a few years later. We had to write about this a year or two ago, about what we did that day, because we all remember everything that happened. I know a friend of mine was in New York that day, a few towns away with his Grandpa, he woke up to see that all over the news. For all who knew anyone in that tragic lose, I am sorry to you. All who died on that tragic day, we will all miss you. -edit- Sunny, it shouldn't be a Holiday. It was a tragic day, and we should all remember what happened that day, but it shouldn't be a Holiday.

TuffGirl · September 2008

Agreed 110%, the people should be remembered today

It should be a holiday, there are still some holidays that have been made from tragic events

a holiday would be fine, more along the lines of memorial day

tarnish · September 2008

I was in 3rd grade when it happened. I walked into class (which starts at 9am) so both planes had already hit the buildings. My teacher had her tv on and was standing in front of it with her mouth open. Like a-sap, I really didn't get the importance of it. I had no idea how bug the planes were or how many people were in the building. I sorta shrugged it off. I stood and watched for a little bit. I can't really remember more than seeing my teacher with shock on her face. My school told us what happened. Since the school was in Ohio, kids weren't really pulled out like if you lived in New York. I can't remember if anyone left. I think our whole school went outside that day and they surrounded the flag pole and we stood out there for a good length of time around the American Flag. I really wish I could remember more. **I think it should give families that lost people the right to stay home and mourn. I don't think everyone should get it off though. Silent moments and reviewing what happened is good.

This may start an arguement, but, if you want to contradict my point, please message me

September 11th took over three thousand lives, and it should be made a holiday to remember those who have been lost. Just like Mermorial day and Labor/Labour day. It should be, and that is my personal opinion.

LuvMe · September 2008

yes it should

TuffGirl · September 2008

I was in Kindergarten, people took their kids out like crazy. I live down in Texas though, but I live in one of the biggest cities in the nation

Neither will I. I was on the 110th floor in a smoke filled room with a man who called his wife to say 'Good-Bye.' I held his fingers steady as he dialed. I gave him the peace to say, 'Honey, I am not going to make it, but it is OK..I am ready to go.' I was with his wife when he called as she fed breakfast to their children. I held her up as she tried to understand his words and as she realized he wasn't coming home that night. I was in the stairwell of the 23rd floor when a woman cried out to Me for help. 'I have been knocking on the door of your heart for 50 years!' I said. 'Of course I will show you the way home - only believe in Me now' I was at the base of the building with the Priest ministering to the injured and devastated souls. I took him home to tend to his Flock in Heaven. He heard my voice and answered. I was on all four of those planes, in every seat, with every prayer. I was with the crew as they were overtaken. I was in the very hearts of the believers there, comforting and assuring them that their faith has saved them. I was in Texas , Virginia , California , Michigan , Afghanistan I was standing next to you when you heard the terrible news. Did you sense Me? I want you to know that I saw every face. I knew every name - though not all know Me. Some met Me for the first time on the 86th floor. Some sought Me with their last breath. Some couldn't hear Me calling to them through the smoke and flames; 'Come to Me.. this way... take my hand.' Some chose, for the final time, to ignore Me. But, I was there. I did not place You in the Tower that day. You may not know why, but I do. However, if you were there in that explosive moment in time, would you h ave reached for Me? Sept. 11, 2001 , was not the end of the journey for you. But someday your journey will end. And I will be there for you as well. Seek Me now while I may be found. Then, at any moment, you know you are 'ready to go.' I will be in the stairwell of your final moments.

EpikLove · September 2008

I really honor everyone that died.. all the innocent lives. Today, at school, we saw a video of the crash.. and a song that matched it. The song was beautiful - the video made our teacher cry :[ I was sad today too. My friends didn't care. :roll: Except for one. xD But yeah... I'll probably write a poem for it ;3 -EDIT- It took 2,974 lives

It was a really tragic blow to the U.S.A.... Very tragic time in our history.

SunnyDaysDontLie · September 2008

well i was including the pentagon anfd feild crash. idk if you were too...

Actually it did affect the whole world, but I do agree that it should be a holiday in the US. I still remember today what I was doing, and freaking out when planes flew low...and I live in south australia!! So I can just imagine how people in the US are feeling. But even if there is no holiday, the victims will always be remembered on this day. All over the world.

Drucilla · September 2008

Agreed. I don't think it matters WHERE you live, the tragedy was so huge that it affected everyone. I just remember it being so quiet. I was working at the time and all the workers had gathered into the cafe where the tv was. Even the animals at the sanctuary seemed subdued, the dogs didn't bark so much it was so weird, like they were picking up on our grief. I personally don't think it's something to celebrate with a holiday though. Yes by all means remember the day and honour the lost lives but it seems somehow disrespectful to me to have a holiday. But each to their own. At the end of the day I live in England so we probably wouldn't anyway. It's upto the U.S Government if they feel its appropriate. But never forget, no matter what.

Howdy, Stranger!
