Marv's Neighbor Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 May God have mercy on their souls! I worked for United Airlines 1968-2003 and lost a lot of friends and co-workers on 2 of the planes. It's a very sad day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4merper4mer Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 (edited) http://forums.twobillsdrive.com/topic/51360-five-years-later-my-post-from-9112001/ It is difficult to think that like Christmas, New Year's Day, birthdays and other special occasions, 9/11 has to be a significant day on the calendar. Most of these days make us reflect on past times with a fondness for the memories. Not so for 9/11. But it still marks time like the all the rest. Maybe it serves as a reminder to never take anything for granted and be grateful for what we have. For that reminder I am grateful but that it comes each year having cost the lives of so many brave, innocent, normal, everyday, heroic, black, white, young, old, father, mother,son, daughter, and people of any imaginable description is too high a cost for any of us.

KD in CA Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 One of the iconic imagine from that day was the 'Dust Lady'; she just died of cancer. And it sounds like she did not fare well in the years post-9/11.

Chef Jim Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 Being three hours behind here in CA we were just getting up and ready for work. The first thing I saw in TV after I got out of the shower was a replay of the second plane hitting the tower. I had no idea what I was seeing. Later that day I saw both towers fall live. I my way to work I drove by John Wayne airport in Orange county and the two runways had giant lighted X's at the end of them. Very bizarre.

IDBillzFan Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 Last night, while putting my 10-year-old son to bed, he said prayers for the victims of 9/11, and then started rattling off all these details that simply surprised the hell out of me. We've talked about it, and I've shown him the newspapers I kept and some videos, but what he was talking about was beyond anything we discussed. He said his teacher spent a good portion of the morning at school talking about it; she was in eighth grade at the time, and she went into detail about what she remembered. It really filled my heart to see his teacher make it a point to remember this event with kids who weren't alive at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
