Let's never forget

You're so right about that. I just wanted to see what NYC looked like before this attack just to get an idea of what it was like. I've only been in NYC once, I was 9 and because dad's tour was done in Germany he was relocated to Ft Bliss TX. That was 1959 but sadly I don't remember much.

Yeah, most of those old enough remember 9/11 but either mourn for what was or had never seen what was or even what is. I'm one of those who never saw them.

Yeah, I can see that point of view.

@rebelann Worldwide, I feel that it connected us tighter, like it was us standing alone against them.

That must have been a sight to see. I can't imagine anyone working at those heights.

I honestly can't imagine working in a building where the windows don't open

@rebelann I never wanted to work in the skyscrapers, What I enjoyed was working in the much older buildings where you could still open a window to get air if you needed to,

You're right, we won't let anyone forget.

I wish I could've seen it before the attack. I've only seen it on TV and in the first episode of Bluebloods they did show the memorial to some degree. I will never forget.

@rebelann It was amazing to see. I watched a documentary last night on just the elevators, there was 189 active elevators in those buildings.

Same here and I agree with you.

@rebelann When we go somewhere like downtown where there are tall buildings, we try to think how big the Twin Towers actually were . . . they must've been pretty huge. It's cooled off . . . maybe high 70s - and that happened just after the triple digit days - too quickly. I think many of the plants/trees think it's autumn . . . the leaves are turning yellow. It will be bad if it gets too hot again - I wonder what it will do to farmed crops! Apparently it will be in the 90s by the weekend. But for now I'm wearing a hoodie!!! How is it there?

EP doesn't even have buildings as tall as some in LA so I can only judge by the image, it seems those towers made all other buildings look like dwarfs. It's the normal seesaw season here. Last week it was in the high 90s, this week it's predicted to be in the low 90s, I just hope it doesn't flip back to the triplets Yeah, if it gets down to the 70s here I'll be staying home bundled up.

Same here. I'm not crazy about big cities but it would've been cool to have seen those 2. How's the weather out yonder? We're finally in the upper 90s mostly, than heavens the 100s won't be back til May or June

So do I.

Oh wow, that sounds so odd to me, I can't believe it is now in history books when to me it seems it happened just a couple years ago ............. cheeeze time flies.

Yes, you're right about that.

@rebelann Time goes by really fast. That is why history needs to be kept alive.

I heard it on my car radio that morning which was devastating but I'm thankful I didn't see it that morning, that would have been so much worse. I know we'll never forget where we were on that fateful day

You're right.

@rebelann It is definitely burnt into our memories.

I agree, it feels like it's only been a couple of years.

I just hope this newer generation born after 2001 won't forget either.

Probably more considering how many people conducted some kind of business in them, over 3000 people were in those buildings at the time

@rebelann Definitely a wakeup call (at that time) for the need for increased security in all vulnerable areas. We can now include our border.

I agree.
