I'll never forget holding her in my lap trying to explain how her daddy fit in that 'little' box.

There were almost 50,000 people in the WTC on any normal day.
This is the number they were trying to kill. That they failed so massively should not lessen the retribution they have deserved.
I couldn't go to look at the wreckage. I just couldn't.
My dad worked two blocks away from the Twin Towers. He saw the plane hit as he walked across the bridge surrounded by masses of people. And From the bridge he saw the two towers come crumbling down.
My mom who also works in the city, saw the smoke outside the windows of her building.
It was terribly frightening.
And my mother went to work the very next day. She felt every American that could, should go to work. Just to show them that did this to us, that we would not falter.
you live in NY too?
I taped it when it showed on CBS a couple months after the attacks.
A very powerful film.
I had to watch it again a few months ago. Frankly, I sometimes need a reminder of the terror of that day, of the loss, of the shock.
My dad said it was like a scene out of a movie when the towers fell. It was so surreal.
In the 9/11 film by those two brothers, you can hear bodies landing on the ceiling. It is a horrible sound. I can't imagine what it must have been like for the firefighters there to hear bodies fall on the ceiling.
There is a case that is being tried in Brooklyn, now. Two Sheiks were raising money for Terrorist organisations. Of course, the media ignored it.
Did Fox News or anybody come up with a video montage of their coverage that day?
I have 10-15 Sept. 11 video tributes I got on Kazaa, but they are much harder to find now.

My uncle (the one who just had a son tonight) used to work at Cantor Fitzgerald. But he quit 6 months before 9/11 because he had a problem with Anxiety attacks. He had to take pills.
He had Anxiety attacks because the floor he worked on was so high. He finally just couldn't take it anymore. Thankfully.
But, he knew, and they (his coworkers) knew, that that building was unsafe. There were not enough Exits or escapes in case of an emergency. It was a death trap.
You're welcome, pass it along to your friends.
You're welcome, pass it along to your friends, ask them if they watched it, make them watch it.
God rest their souls and give their families strength.
I have a real soft spot for dogs too.
>>>If only there were some way to tell them how important their job is. Of course, they seem to know.
Actually, interesting tidbit. I was there with my friend who took those pictures. (not of the dogs, of the building remains)
One of the handlers told me that the dogs kept getting depressed. Finding victims was their reward for doing a good job.
Since there wasn't many victims to find, and give the dogs their reward. People had to hide and let the dogs find them in order for the dogs to think they were doing a good job.
