Today is 9/11 Let's take a moment and remember

[Rev'n Kevin]

I thought I'd start this thread, to remember that awful day, maybe you would like to share your memories.

I woke up that morning 8 years ago and as I do every morning, fixed a cup of coffee and turned on the TV. The first thing I saw was the live feed of the towers and the smoke coming from one of them. The newscaster was saying that they believed a small plane had collided with the world trade center tower. So as I'm sitting there, drinking my coffee and watching, I saw the second plane as it came in from the right side of the screen and went into the second tower, as I sat stunned, all I could think was "What the hell is going on, and that wasn't no small plane", the newscaster expressed the same thought.

As I continued to watch, the news now correcting their earlier report of a small plane crash, showed the second hit again, this time from one of the news copters covering the event. This is the image that will forever be embedded in my memory, as i watched you could see stuff come flying out of the building, and then I saw it, clearly people plummeting to the ground, my God, people being thrown from the explosion and falling to the ground. CNN never replayed that camera shot, in fact I never saw it again until 2 years ago when I was watching a documentary on the history channel about 9/11. That is the most horrible thing I have ever seen and even as I write this, the tears well up in my eyes.

It's been 8 years, but I remember it like it was yesterday, and I hope that I never see anything like it again!
