9/11 Remembrance Thread (#2)
- Thread starter Pyro
- Start date
Man, you kids being younger than 9/11 is making me feel old.
I was in fifth grade. I remember coming home for lunch and watching the footage of it all on the news channels. My mom was working next to the airport at the time, and the eerie lack of planes constantly flying overhead is her most vivid memory.

I was 2 years old but honestly I don't remember anything about it from the time. But rest in peace to those that lost their lives in the attack

I was too young to actually remember anything, but my heart goes out to all those who were effected by the horrible events that occurred then, and to those family members who are still suffering.

Stop trying to start arguments in a 9/11 thread, what do you have to prove?

yeah im pretty serious, after 9/11 there were literally years of people suggesting that it was a conspiracy theory that the government themselves did that to spark a war for more territory and so much other crap
of course that was obviously disproven several times as well but conspiracy theorists are pretty much everywhere, hell there might be people today that still think it was the usa government action to spark a war with the 9/11 excuse
id rather it end there though, i hate the day of 9/11
even now its making me very depressed

America: remembering 9/11 15 years later.
15 years later, we're still feeling the toll of that horrific attack on freedom.

It makes me cry. It's just so sad...you will be remembered forever. May you rest in peace, all of you who died on that day fifteen years ago...we all miss you.
I was five years old on September 11, 2001. I remember it vaguely, and I wish I didn't.
Why these things happen I'll never know. They deserved to live long lives yet the hatred in this world...I really don't like today.

welcome to the hotel waluigi
it hit me harder this year than usual, I think because I just visited the flight 93 memorial about a month ago. in case anyone is interested, here's some stuff about it, since it hasn't been open that long and people outside pennsylvania might not have seen much of it (photos in spoiler tags so the thread isn't all cluttered).
they have a lookout at the top of the hill pointing straight to the impact site; it's oriented in the exact direction of the final flight path and there are little stations and a worker who give some information about the final moments of the flight.
inside the visitor center you can listen to phone calls some of the passengers and crew made from the plane, among other things. I've listened to them before in a documentary, but I couldn't do it there. they're too heartwrenching.
to get as close as you can to the impact site, you have to hike down the hill through a field of wildflowers. it's very peaceful and quiet, which is kind of a sharp contrast to the raw emotion in the visitor center. the actual impact site is marked by a boulder and is closed to everyone but family members of the victims. but there's a memorial with the names of all the passengers and crew etched in black inlay, and occasionally additional info added in white so as not to distract from their names. one in particular hit me hard.
there are few days burned into my memory from when I was six, but 9/11 is definitely one of them.
(none of the photos are mine; I didn't want a camera taking away from the significance of the visit for me. apologies if they slow down the page for anyone)
