9/11 : Blog Your Thoughts About 9/11-Scalzi's assignment
It was a maddening event; I recall watching the news as it came about. Newscasters did not know what they were seeing ; in fact, they struggled with the images themselves; running playbacks of the event as the world watched.
I remember that deep sadness in my gut and heart just knowing that all of the people in the building and all of the people in the airplanes were entering an inferno; but not one of their own creation. In fact, one of the most horrible facts of the events that unfolded was that these people were innocent of any wrong done and yet they were suffering untold amounts of injuries and deaths for an unseen hostile enemy.The heroes who tried to save these people are still my heroes and they always will be. They sacrificed their lives trying to save so many people. The people on the ground who helped people are also my heroes and we have a Jlander among them...WFHBear.

This was in no way the end of the horror; we had the other acts unfolding after this one.
Many innocent children saw a part of the replay; because parents never dreamed that the six o'clock news would show these horrible films when most families sat down to dinner. In this case the news were the source of trauma to them.
I could go on and on ... but now I would like to ask you to tell us your experiences here, or leave me alink to your entry. John Scalzi also has an entry where you can place your link as well .TY

That was a horrible and surreal day in the classroom. It brought back the day Challenger exploded as it launched, even as the students were watching it happen on the television. But this time, teachers were told (by whispered messages at the door) to not turn on their tv's. The school day went on like any other. I think everyone was praying that day.

Each teacher took about 5 kids home. Getting out of Boston was a nightmare of traffic and fear. While they were at low speed, I saw several accidents caused by people looking to the skies for crashing planes.
While I'm not Bush's biggest fan, I do like the 1000:1 return we hit them off with as far as killing goes. Kill 2996 Americans, we'll kill 299600 Iraqis and Afghans. The lesson will sink in on them eventually.
