9/11 : Lest we never forget

[tics]

I'm posting this a few hours in advance, although for some people it is already Sunday, the 11th. As we all know, tomorrow/today marks ten years since 9/11 when three Boeing 757s and one Boeing 767 were hijacked. American Airlines Flight 11 was flown into the North Tower of the World Trade Center at 8:46 AM that sunny morning. All of America and many people around the world watched as United Airlines Flight 175 hit the South Tower. Shocked they stood in their living rooms around family, or around colleagues at work. Everything was at a stand-still, and people waited for answers. And then the pentagon at 9:37 was hit by American Airlines Flight 77.

Members of the New York Fire Department stood in amazement as the towers collapsed, after being informed that they were resistant to fire. And then the news came in. United Airlines Flight 93 had crashed in a field in Shanksville, Pennsylvania. People were confused, but it was soon evident. The brave passengers on that plane - fathers, businessmen, and average day civilians - organized a plan within the frame of thirty minutes. They called their loved ones, and said their final goodbyes. They charged the cockpit, and the pilot of the plane turned it and crashed into the field intentionally. The plane was obliterated on impact.

The next day, Americans took a new turn. Anger flowed throughout their veins, and revenge was the only thing on their mind. It became evident the thought of everyone; we will never forget. But as prepared as Americans were to get revenge, it wasn't as easy as it had been back in 1941 when the Japanese military bombed Pearl Harbor. Our enemy was not clear, and they represent no national flag. Americans would soon know al-Queda was responsible.

Tomorrow may we not become angry, but may we remember and honor the lives of those who responded to call of distress of strangers they didn't know. Those who died to save the lives of others. And while we shall never forget September 11th, 2001, we shall never allow for our anger to cloud our judgement, and we should only honor the lives lost that sunny, seemingly normal morning.

I call upon you to do whatever you may please to honor the lives lost on September 11th, 2001.

Pretty much this. People die every day, why don't you mourn for those strangers? No offense intended, of course.

We dont hear nor know of every death, but 9/11 was symbolic, and lead to a whole new outlook for many people.

We will never forget them.

Anyways who the fuck makes buildings that tall? They had to be a death hazard evey day if you look.

I only mourn one dates.  9/11, and pay respects on December 7th.

I love history too much... and politics.

Don't be hating, but I lean more towards government conspiracy with 9/11.  But we should still mourn the deaths of those who died, the heroism of the citizens aboard Flight 93 and the brave first responders who most of which face cancer due to the amount of asbestos in the towers.

Many more innocent people died in the Vietnam war, innocent people died on the Titanic. Yet we don't give a damn about that anymore. Why? Just because it's outdated?

He's not trolling, he's giving his honest opinion, and has a good point. I'm not saying the thousands of deaths on 9/11 were worthless, all I'm saying is that there have been thousands more that we just seem to stow away and only pull back out for discussions like this.

I was stating that I will heavily ban anyone that trolls this thread.  I lost people and saw this in person.
