i had to drive by the nsa that day. they had buses blocking the entrances, and guys with 50 cal rifles watching the traffic. i could see the smoke from the pentagon from my job site. so not only nyc got devastated, where i was then did as well. awful times for so many folks.
i recall things just building up and getting worse and worse. folks saying more planes on the way. folks seeing jumpers... ny/dc survived -- no one should forget what happened. GO TEAM VENTURE!!!!!

From the roof of my office building I had a front row seat to watch one of my best friends be murdered. It was the most horrifying day of my life, and will certainly never be forgotten. I can't wait to visit the new memorial. It looks breathtaking.

What I find sad is that people would rather talk about Shawne Williams or Alba threads than this. How quickly people forget.

By 2003, people were already putting it behind them. There were demonstrations in CA against the war on terror which took up more attention than rememberances of the disaster.
Always remember, it's the economy, stupid. |

Always remember, but my problem is the exploitation some guys media use with this. Alot of channels in there "tributes" tried to use the most shocking horrific images they can get their grubby hands on. My glance watched one where they had such a graphic and close up video of a guy jumping out of one of the top floors you can make out his face and shoes. She changed the channel after that.
I'm ok with tributes but I draw the line at exploitation. ~You can't run from who you are.~
