12 years ago today, America faced one of the most tragic events in our history. The world trade center was hit by two hijacked planes, American Airlines Flight 11 and American Airlines Flight 175. American Airlines Flight 11 hit the North tower at 8:46am. American Airlines Flight 175 hit the South tower at 9:03am. Within two hours both towers collapsed, leaving New York City in a cloud of dust. A third plane, American Airlines Flight 77, was hijacked and crashed into the Pentagon at 9:37am. A fourth plane, United Airlines Flight 93, was set to crash into the Washington D.C metropolitan area. Due to some brave Americans, in an attempt to take the plane from the hijackers, they crashed into a field near Shanksville, Pennsylvania at 10:03am.

Almost 3000 innocent lives were taken that day. 2977(Not including the hijackers) victims lost their lives as they were going on about their day. 2606 in New York, 246 on the planes, and 125 in the Pentagon.

The ground where the towers used to stand was named Ground Zero. The Pentagon had a memorial placed on the ground where the airplane hit. This is personally one of my favorite memorials I have ever visited. If the victim was killed in the Pentagon, their bench is facing the direction of the pentagon. If the victim was killed on the plane, their bench is facing the direction of the sky in the way of the path the plane hit. The benches are in order of the age of the victims. Under each bench is a reflecting pool. If there was more than one member of a family who was killed in the attack, their name is engraved in the pool along with having their own bench.

To all of the men and women that helped to rescue those in the locations of the attacks, to the men, women and children that were killed in attacks, you will always be in our thoughts and prayers. We will always remember this day and honor those who were killed in the attacks. God bless you all.

"Freedom itself was attacked this morning by a faceless coward and freedom will be defended." -- President Bush, Sept. 11.

United we stand. We will move forward, but we will never forget. God bless America.

If we're going to keep the CG Minecraft server up, I want to see people enjoying it and playing it. My original plan of having a completely vanilla Minecraft server didn't work as too many people complained about it. So tell me, what do you want to see? I know many people don't like Minecraft, and that's fine, but for those that are willing to play it, what do you want to play?

Here are some possible options:

• Completely Vanilla
• Bukkit with some mods(Post what mods below)
• Tekkit of some sort
• Feed the beast
• Other

I tried making a poll but it wouldn't let me post it, so just post below. [/list]

Well, everyone knows the tow truck job is boring. I find it boring even though it's the only thing I do when I'm on, now. There needs to be more, though.

Tag Cars
When a car has been towed, the tow truck driver should have to tag the car. That way the player can only get it from the tow truck yard. If the tow truck driver leaves the job and there are no other ones, then the car is able to be spawned from the garage. Say someone was just arrested and their car had to be towed. Instead of instantly spawning it, they have to go to the impound lot and get it, possible even pay a small fee towards the city, too.

---

Gas Cans
Yes, there is another suggestion for this, but I think this idea would be better. Equip the tow truck driver with a small gas can that adds, say, 10% to the car's fuel tank. That way we don't have to tow a car to the gas station,we can just fill it up and they go straight to the gas station.

---

Ways to Repair Cars
After towing cars to a NPC and having the player repair the car repeatedly it gets boring. What if tow truck drivers are equipped with a toolbox and you can use that on the car to repair it? It'll take, say, 10-15 seconds to repair. It can only be repaired at the tow yard, too. Then the tow truck driver can charge the player and the money goes to the city, which leads to me next suggestion.

---

Charge Players For Repairs
If the above suggestion gets added, then we should be able to charge players by pressing F3 on them or something. It'll automatically send them the charge so we don't fill out any information. It could be the same price as the current NPC. It'll work like the ticket system, press F3 on them and it'll send them the charge and they pay/deny it.

---

Flatbead Tow Truck
You can't tow big trucks with small tow truck, so why not add a flat bed? You can back up to the front of the truck, press E on it or something and it'll automatically move to the flatbead. I'm not sure how easy this would be because of weight issues, but I think it's possible to change the weight of something. I'm also not sure on height issues with the tunnel.

I'll add some more if I come up with them. Discuss.

Well, with the new delay on radio stations and my favorite station being the very last one, what if we had a default radio station that we could set in the the options menu? You could set it to, for example, Kickin' Country, so whenever you enter your car it'll automatically play that station. There can also be an option for "Radio Off" if you don't want any radio station to play when you enter your car.

Also, is it possible to get an off button for the radio? That way we can easily turn the radio off without waiting 10 seconds until we get the "Radio Off" station?

Pretty simple, it's like the police computer but it can only look up license plates so you can contact the owner of the car when you tow it.

What happened when the bug occurred? It spammed the "Search Warrant request on ... has been sent to the mayor" notification like 50 times.

What was supposed to happen? Should say it once.
