Ditto. Yet I'm sure you will always remember every emotion you experienced on that day. I grew up in an airline family and worked in the airline industry for nearly 20 years. For many years, I lived on Long Island and knew the flight paths for most of the major carriers. I could also sense when a plane was in distress by the proximity of the sound emitted by the engines. Twice, in the darkness of night, I picked up on a plane flying too low and instinctively knew they were going down. The first was an Avianca flight from South America that crashed in Cove Neck on the north shore of LI. The second was upstate when a single engine mail carrier crashed into the parking lot of a nearby mall. One aspect of 911 that remains with me was looking up into the skies on that day and not seeing even one aircraft! It was chilling.
I am all for freedom of religion but that is not true of the Muslims. In the Middle East, where Christianity preceded Islam, our churches have been burned, our priests and ministers, martyred. In Turkey, Orthodox Churches have been closed. All of this in the name of "Allah". There is no tolerance there for any religion other than Islam. And yet these same people demand the right to build a mosque, not just in Manhattan, but within range of the very site on which christian and jewish police and firefighters lost their lives trying to save all who were in the Twin Towers. What sort of chicanery is this! And who are these fools who support their project?! When Governor Paterson offered to give them another property on which to build their mosque, they turned him down. Obviously they are not interested in a place of worship. They want to erect a monument to their "accomplishment".
