Very sad day, nobody should forget what happened - particularly the liberal types who seem quite happy to forgive and forget no matter what.

Can still remember where I was and what I was doing when the first plane hit... It was an absolute tragedy and it never gets easier looking back over the events and coverage of 9/11.

Thank you, was a bit confused so posted all up, but yes after reading the bbc website again I would agree that the official moment of remembrance will be held @ 13:46 BST

So much for the people on Flight 93
no rememberance service for them then ? and certainly no mention of them on the radio
There was a thread last week about 9/11 and whether there would be a minutes silence etc, it was posted in NSR

[quote=marmski]Same, its one of those events that just sticks in your mind... almost like a detailed pic of where and what you were doing when you heard what was then perceived to be unbelievable news[quote]
I was in Gran Canaria, sat on my balcony in the hotel with a beer in hand - I thought it was some kind of sick joke when my mate called me in to watch the TV
Couldn't believe what had happened, still cant
Laden needs to be caught!

Think I was on scoobynet at home at the time, saw a picture of the first tower burning on the aol news thing, then watched the tv. Mesmerising, yet a very tragic event.

I see that the famous documentary by the Naudet brothers wasn't aired by some broadcasters in the US. Was it because of the horror of hearing jumpers hitting the ground ? Nope, it was because the firemen were swearing...

me and my wife were on holiday in new york on 9/11 just on our way down to the WTC for breakfast when the first plane hit, i have never been so scared in my life, it was a terrible few days waiting before we could get a flight home, i have been on the top of the WTC quite a few time's and to think they could collapse like that is still unbelievable to me now

Went and had a look at Ground Zero a couple of years ago, really strange atmosphere there and hard to take in what happened. I thought it was a bit off that there were street traders selling postcards, plates and the like as souvenirs with images of the aeroplanes hitting the towers. Its strange when you look off Brooklyn Bridge in that direction and the towers that you have seen on all the films etc... are gone, lets hope they build something bigger and better in memory of all those that lost their lives.

I went too about a month or so after 9/11, still on fire at the time, and dust and debris still everywhere
They are building something now Ayde, I posted the link last week on the 9/11 thread in NSR

Well I got to spend the minutes silence sitting in the departure lounge at Heathrow, about to fly out to Miami 
Glad that flight's over !
I was sitting in departures at JFK, New York on Sept 11, 2002 watching the re-run on the airport screens !
