No, let's not remind anyone of the terror that struck on 9/11. Wouldn't want to upset people with the truth.

[ProudVet77]

I may get in trouble for saying this but,
Reality sucks, get used to it. What they did was a massive murder.
I'm not sorry if the sight of it offends people.

[Ruth A.]

It should be disturbing and we should all be reminded.

[MikefromOhio]

Reality can be disturbing sometimes....

Although maybe putting those items on the ground floor instead of the top floor would be more appropriate.

Or, maybe these people should just avoid going to skyscrapers in NYC.....

NEW YORK- Lost amid the hoopla surrounding the celebrations of the end of World War II has been the 50th anniversary of the army plane crash into the Empire State Building. Many do not know of the tragic incident of July 28, 1945 -- the day a B-25 bomber, lost in fog, rammed into what was then the world's tallest building....

If I had my way, those images would be on every TV screen every day. How soon we forget!

"It's disturbing," said Alma Sanguinetti, 70, who was visiting from San Francisco.

So is that Sodom pit of a city you live in.

I tried to locate an actual online Empire State Building gift store, there does not seem to be an online store (there ARE third-party merchants selling stuff). If someone finds a phone number or Website to actually order these, please post....

[Dallas59]

They should put up a list with pictures and nationalities of ALL the persons that were murdered by ISLAMIC terrorists. Makes people reflect on WHY we are in the Middle East to begin with......

"It's disturbing," said Alma Sanguinetti, 70, who was visiting from San Francisco... A 10-year-old girl said, "It's depressing," then turned to the pretty snow globes.

This is really a shame. If they had just placed a few more shiny bobbles around, perhaps some tinsel, they could have distracted these poor souls.

[Quilla]

This one's for you, Alma:

Never forget!

[SampleMan]

You notice these same folks never find it disturbing or depressing to teach our children every mistake or unfortunate byproduct that our country has ever done. Its just when the focus is on our enemies that they get squeamish.

"It's disturbing," said Alma Sanguinetti

GOOD. Put it on every news stand in America. Make it required reading in all schools. It's the only way that the "enlightened" 49% will ever get it...

>>"It's disturbing," said Alma Sanguinetti, 70, who was visiting from San Francisco.

Alma needs to understand that ignoring reality does not insulate you from the consequences of ignoring reality.

[Zacs Mom]

I'm with Darryl Worley on this one.......

"It's disturbing," said Alma Sanguinetti, 70, who was visiting from San Francisco.

"And the most disturbing pictures of all are the ones with that man standing on the World Trade Center observation deck as the plane came in, you know, the young man with the parka, sunglasses and a knit cap. That poor young man never had a chance."

[Two-Bits]

Over 3000 innocent civilians died in less than 90 minutes on a crisp autumn day. It was called 9/11. The only weeping and gnashing of teeth from the liberals were the upset over the flag waving, country loving Americans who wanted revenge and justice. The liberals are more upset over the treatment of our enemy than the innocent men, women and children who were fried and incinerated that day. These poor misunderstoods who takes defenseless men and women and murder them in cold blood showing the barbarism that is their souls. Only a liberal, demorat, progressive, war protester, useful idiots and the elites that control them can find that kind of evil worth defending.

[white trash redneck]

It's much more important that people see pictures of Abu Ghraib, to understand that this was a much more horrible event than 9/11.

Yeah, right.

[cubreporter]

Hell yes it's disturbing. That tourist ought to try to BEGIN TO IMAGINE how disturbing it was to those who lost loved ones. This should be shown every single day. Those who don't like it don't have to look or they dont' have to buy. All they have to do is look away and keep their mouths closed while the rest of us remember!!!!!! And we will remember. We will NEVER FORGET.

[an italian]

I know that is not all...

BUT ITALY HAS NOT FORGET. And we are proud to stand with you today, as friends. We are proud when our prime minister Berlusconi call your president "my friend George".

We have not forget 9/11 as we have not forget WWII.

THANKS GUYS THANKS.

I'm a proud supporter of president Bush. I'm a proud supporter of America. I don't care what they say in Europe.

After september 11 we are all Americans.

God bless you.
