9/11 - Where were you?

[NightLad]

I was home sick from school. I was just coming down stairs for some orange juice in time to see the second tower get hit. I remember asking my mom, "Is this real?" I thought it might have been a movie, but it didn't 'feel' like it was fake.

At my high school all classes were cancelled and TVs were brought into the classrooms for people to watch the news as it unfolded.

On a second note.... A coworker of mine just mentioned seeing signs on her way to work saying that 9/11 was a fake and it was an inside job... i hate when people say that. Anyone else?

There are far too many unanswered questions for my taste. They say another plane hit the Pentagon. Yet all footage of the event was taken and has not been released. There was no debris from a plane. The next day, trucks were brought in to put dirt and pavement over the sight. No forensic teams were brought in to search for bodies or the plane. I'm not saying it was an "inside job" per say, but actions speaks louder than words, and the actions of the Bush Admin following the 9/11 attacks - both immediately after and to date - were extremely suspect no matter how you look at it. I just can't reconcile a firm belief in any scenario without all the facts, and when they appear to be intentionally hidden from me, I get suspicious.

But whatever the case, this is a day to remember what we know did happen; families were torn apart, a terrible tragedy took place, and thousands of innocent people were made to suffer and die for no cause we can really fathom. It happened in our own backyard. I know people who were there that day. I know a policeman who was on duty, who was hit by falling debris. In a spiritual sense I believe everybody is connected, and, if anything proves that fact, beyond political party lines, race, religion, sexual orientation - this proves it. We all grieve together this day.

That is what I feel the central point should be remembered today. We can theorize about what may or may not have happened another day.
