This is a chilling home video of what
happened that horrible day
that we'll never forget.
(It's nearly 30 minutes long,
but needs to be seen!)
Some of you might have already seen it,
but I hadn't till today.
Made me cry all over again!
Thanks, Luv.
I will check out the video later; I have an appt later and will need to leave about 11:00.
I hate it that I need to leave the thread for awhile today. On this day of remembering, I would prefer to be with my FRiends.
Thank you again for your beautiful tributes.
You know, it was harder to watch that video today than when I watched the attack taking place in real time on 9/11. Then, as the events were unfolding, we didn't know the horrific number of casualties and the amazing acts of bravery that were taking place as those buildings were collapsing. Then we didn't know how all of our lives would be changed forever. We know now.
I remember, as I was watching the reports coming in on the news that day, my mind could not comprehend what my eyes were seeing. I kept telling my mother that I was sure all the people had gotten out. My mind would not allow me to believe that there were actually living, breathing people in those buildings. So, I had to keep telling myself that the people had gotten out....surely, there were no people in there. Now, watching that video, we know the thousands of lives that were lost. It was excruciatingly hard to watch, but I watched every minute. Like you, I think it is important to never forget, to never become complacent, and to never to stop remembering and mourning the American lives lost that day.
