This was obviously a defining moment in all of our lives. Although most of us here probably weren't directly affected by the events that took place, we all have a connection with them. I'm sure most of us will be bombarded with TV specials and remembrance celebrations in the next couple of weeks, but I thought I'd open up this topic for anyone who wants to chat about it.
Feel free to share your thoughts from that day, we all feel like telling where we were when a significant event happens. I guess it must bring us together as a society since we can all relate to each other’s stories.
This date is also a benchmark for our own lives. 10 years has past. We can all remember that day 10 years ago, and it seems odd to say it was 10 years ago. Are you where you wanted to be?
I wouldn't doubt if this turns into a conspiracy theory thread, I won't contribute to that discussion, my intention is to recognize the event itself, not why it occurred or who perpetrated it. If other people want to, go ahead I suppose, but let's try to keep some remembrance aspect to it.
Also, I'm sure there will be some ceremonies going on in Calgary on September, 11. If anyone has info to those, please post it.
On that note, I will put up some YouTube videos we should all be acquainted with: Those who had no idea what or why this was going on, yet did their jobs in responding to the disaster with courage, many of whom lost their lives.
343 New York Fire Department
37 Port Authority Police
23 New York Police Department
8 Private EMS/EMT
This is a fantastic documentary, if you have not watched it, you should. Has nothing to do with terrorists, conspiracies or political BS. It is a documentary about the Firefighters that responded in the hours after the tragedy and what they went through and felt. Nothing more.
The rest of the videos can be found on that fellow's YouTube channel.
