9/11

[Dooley]

Just a reminder of all that has happened on this day.

Hot rods and customs are cool, but let's take a second to remember those we lost.

i'm working today at the airport and am reminded regularly of it. i wonder how many people have been affected by it in one way or another. it has effected the aviation industry for ever. i hope we never see anything like this again.

[Revhead]

It's not forgotten to me, just put on back shelf in my brain. Everytime I see a picture of that day, Everything that happened that day at school comes rushing back. It's like a photographic memory for just one day. Can't remember crap from the rest of my college days, but that one I remember.

[wingnutz]

Prayers for this and other free nations...!

A sad day...

My brother in Law worked in Trade Tower #1. He works evenings and hadn't gone into work that day. His office was somewhere above the 70th floor. He is deaf, so I can't even begin to imagine what it would have been like for him if he was there. Thankfully, he wasn't.

My other brother-in-law lost many close friends that day. One was killed when a jumper from tower 2 fell on him causing a significant head injury.

A true tragedy indeed, we can never forget.

9/11 is a day of sadness all over the world. My cousin did work there, she survived, many did not.
Also 9/11 but only one year ago, a polictical murder was commited here in Sweden as the our foregin minister was murdered when she was shopping in Stockholm.
May we all remember what did happen and never accept acts of terror,

[Scotch]

This is really starting to piss me off.

A total of eleven radicals who were brainwashed into thinking they were doing something that religious extremes had promised them would give them eternal glory has put our planet in a state of paranoia.

I'm not trying to disrespect the memories of any of the great people directly affected by this horrible act. I am saying it was an obvious and blatant act of one small group of humans. These eleven souls are responsible for throwing the country into a panic and the world into a war.

I feel the word "overreaction" doesn't do justice. Certainly, something had to be done, but launching our freedom-based nation into a hostile response against a good portion of the world and throwing opinions of our great country off-kilter in regions where things are (and always have been) shaky at best is probably more than even this small group of eleven could have ever hoped for.

I thought this was why we had spies, Navy SEALs, and precision weapons...to nail the crazy bastards and leave everyone else alone.

I offer my moment of silence to respect the innocent who we all watched perish on that day. I'm more angry about the freedoms we seem to have sacrificed in the aftermath.

A moment of silence for those freedoms may also be due.

Paranoia will destroy ya. I hate living like this, and it's all because of a few bad men who could fit in a single elevator, and even they were under order of a single man we cannot seem to find. Osama bin Laden..one single guy got us to this end...almost hard to beleive in retrospect.

[Nads]

I didn't think I'd still be crying 3 years after that day, but I found myself tearing up watching the memorial this morning.

[Dooley]

Scotch, this is intended for people to reflect on what happpened, and what we suffered; and to make us all realize that in the grand scheme of life cars and stuff are low on the totem pole.

Please don't waste it with politics.

Hey Dooley, you opened the thread and like it or not, the whole '9/11' concept is about politics which are banned here if I am not mistaken.

Hey, I agree with Scotch and I don't see anything more political in his post than I do in other posts here.

I figure this thread should be closed as it is not HAMB appropriate.

Bravo....

[Satinblack]

I will never forget 9/11, but personally for me I really dislike making anniversaries of events which are so sad. I would rather remember the happy times with the person or persona lost then dwell on the day they were taken away. But as I say to each his or her own, whatever works for you.

God Bless

I woke up this morning in a somber mood when I put my flag out on the front of the house. then I got choked up while watching the TV then I got fucking pissed off... really pissed.

my buddy moved back to NY to be a firefighter in the spring of 2000. he was stationed in Queens and was one of the first people on the scene. I did not hear from him for a day, then two, then three...I was sure he was one of the dead. On the 4th day I got a phone call from a guy who I didnt rcognize. a guy who had been to hell and saw most of his friends and brothers die and he stayed there helping for 4 straight days.

to this day he says he cant sleep more than 4 hours a night before he is shaken awake with thoughts of what happeded that day... last time he came back to visit he was better than in times past and after a few beers we talked all night about what went down... he' told me "I may be livin' with a lot of baggage from that day, but at least I'm livin'...

I wont get into the politics of what has happend and mostly what has not happend since 9-11 but things gotta change...

I don't think this thread was meant to be political...just a memorial.

This date is spoken every day in the media. Along with the word 'terror'. Re-living, picking the wound that will not heal.

Scotch,
You NAILED it.
HIT IT HARD!
The next few lines may not go over well with others here, but here we go.
I am NOT a Bush fan and watching what he did during the minutes that the World changed pisses me off!!!
Why did he sit there when he was told
"THE COUNTRY IS UNDER ATTACK."
Why fly to Nebraska?
Why let Defferment Dick suddenly decide to create a shadow government?
Why attack the WRONG GAWDAMMED COUNTRY??!!??!!???!!
WHY???
WHY DID NORAD AND THE EASTERN DEFENSE WATCH AS FLIGHT TRANSPONDERS SHUT OFF ON 4 DIFFERENT AIRCRAFT AND LET AIRPLANES JUST DO U-TURNS IN THE SKY??!!??
why? http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif
why....
I feel we deserve answers and are never going to get them.
God Bless the fallen.
Have Mercy on those who fight blindly on.
and
DAMN those who LIE and Hide!!!!! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif

I was not a part of the HAMB on that fateful day, but I did talk regularly with others in the US on another board and I also have many friends from the US that I have met in person. In a very small way the internet let me share and I hope help understand what guys were going through. I feel this day should be remembered and talked about from time to time, in memory of all that went down. Fortunately for the most part we still live in a relatively free world, but yes the world was changed forever on that day! Geoff aka Whodaky

I dont think a single person will ever forget that day,were reminded everyday! over 1000 servicemen so far,thats sad...But we have to Keep up the good fight and dont stop until the jobs done,no matter how long or the sacrifice...Americans have always had to fight for freedom and democracy...I imagine we always will...Is it worth it? HELL YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[296 V8]

well said Marcus,Thank you

[OldCarPilot]

I was flying all day today and it was business as usual. But you could tell that there was something a little tense there if someone didn't answer a radio call right away.
There is that same feeling on all the important days. Or when the nations color changes.
