Plane Crashes into World Trade Center

NewYork1 | 9/11/01

Just in. I am looking at a picture of the WTC with smoke pouring out of the western tower. Looks like a huge amount of damage. Debris raining down on people in the street.

NEVER FORGET bump

I know it can be seen as morbid...but I wish someone would post one of the photos
of the poor souls gasping for air from the upper stories.

As I tell some "left-of-center" colleagues, the war on terrorism is only about
"eleven seconds".

Then I reply to their confused faces that it took about 11 seconds for a body to
fall from the top of the WTC to the pavement.

(And also a nod of approval to USA Today, as they ran an article about the number of
those who fell and how the press sanitized the coverage...)

Prayers needed for the President and the United States.

We need them, our enemies showed themselves on 9/11, and the enemy from within showed themselves last weekend at the anti-american protests.

Pray, pray, pray

9/11 Archive

Here's a link to a 9/11 archive thread that should still include some good photos.

I came across the thread we're on now on a Freeper's profile page this morning. Don't know what possessed me to bump it, but considering the attention it's generated since then I'm very glad that I did. God's Hand at work, without a doubt.

Christ Bless, and Let's Roll!

Something's in the air. Next week is probably going to be big.

"Smoking gun" Teusday. Smoking presidential palaces to follow shortly...

O.K. Afghanistan, Iraq. Who's next? Volunteers? Ah, the pencil-necked whelp in the back, Mr. Assad, did you have your hand up? No? Are you sure? 'Cause we happen to be in the neighborhood. Well then, you must be wanting to annouce the withdrawl of Syrian forces from Lebanon, RIGHT?

REMEMBER WHO DANCED ON 9-11

...a caption from a banner at a Pro-Israel rally...the photo was posted here in the
months following 9-11...

...and as far as I'm concerned, if Saddam didn't even have a thing to do with 9-11,
or even danced...he probably got a belly-laugh over those poor souls choosing to
breath the air for a few seconds, rather than being burned to death in the upper reaches
of the WTC towers...


When I think of the WTC "Twin Towers", I think it's amazing "synchronicity" that a book
centered around two towers reaches the movie screens soon afterwards...

Here are some other links that tell the horror of that day.

The tower 'jumpers' were murdered

And these two uncharacterestically unbiased accounts from the New York Times.

Never Forget Bump...

My God, I can't believe the emotion I feel reviewing this thread. It is time for the arsenal of liberty and freedom to go to work. Godspeed to our brave military.

[My back yard]

Same here. It is chilling.

Never Forget

Let's roll!!!

[Rainbow Rising]

I'll never get over it either. Every time I see a shot of the WTC in a movie, no matter how brief, I feel a pang. It's the same feeling I get when I look at old photographs of my late father.

I dream about the Twin Towers at least once or twice a month. Sometimes I dream that I'm there, witnessing all the horror firsthand. Other times I dream that I'm trapped in one of the buildings, with full knowledge of the impending collapse, trying frantically to escape as the minutes tick away. And then last night I dreamed that I looked across the river and they were there in all their glory, as if nothing had ever happened to them. I started to relax, thinking that the whole thing had just been some dream, and then I saw the plane heading straight for them.

No, I won't ever get over it either.

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) - A statement attributed to al-Qaida threatened more attacks in New York and Washington unless America stops supporting Israel and converts to Islam, an Arab TV reporter who received the unsigned document said Saturday.

Yosri Fouda, correspondent for the satellite station Al-Jazeera, told The Associated Press he received the six-page document on Wednesday. That was a day after the TV station broadcast an audiotape purportedly made by Osama bin Laden.

Fouda, who is known for good contacts within al-Qaida, would only say that the statement came from his sources with the group. But he insisted he was certain it came from the terrorist movement's leadership.

Fouda, speaking by telephone from London, said the statement called on Americans to stop supporting Israel and other governments that "oppress" Muslims or face more attacks. The statement also called on Americans to convert to Islam, he said.

Fouda quoted the statement as saying: "Stop your support for Israel against the Palestinians, for Russians against the Chechens ... for corrupt leaders in our countries ... (and) leave us alone or expect us in Washington and New York."

He added the statement demanded U.S. troops leave the Arabian Peninsula, and justified the killings of American civilians because they pay taxes that finance military operations.

There was no immediate reaction from Washington. No officials were available for comment at the Pentagon or the National Security Council Saturday afternoon. A report on the statement as described by Fouda was carried in The Sunday Times of London.

Fouda is a prominent Arab television journalist who has broken several important stories about al-Qaida. In September, Al-Jazeera broadcast Fouda's interviews with two top al-Qaida operatives hiding in Pakistan, Ramzi Binalshibh and Khaled Sheik Mohammed.

Binalshibh was arrested in Karachi, Pakistan, shortly after the broadcast and was transferred to U.S. custody.

Fouda said the statement also referred to the crisis between the United States and Iraq as one more reason to attack Americans.

"You are placing Muslims under siege in Iraq, where children die every day. Oh, how weird that you don't care for 1.5 million Iraqi children who died under siege, but when 3,000 of your compatriots died, the whole world was shaken," Fouda quoted the statement as saying.

Meanwhile, a militant Islamic Web site that carries news about al-Qaida has dismissed as lies a report that a senior member of the terror group is in U.S. custody.

U.S. officials in Washington said Friday that one of the leaders of al-Qaida had been detained in a foreign country and handed over to U.S. authorities.

The officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity, declined to identify the detainee, but said he was not al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden, his chief depity, his son or the suspected mastermind of the Sept. 11 attacks.

The site scoffed at the U.S. officials' refusal to name the detainee. "Maybe they fear to announce a certain name, and al-Qaida would issue a denial so their (the U.S.) situation would become worse," it said.

I was on a job yesterday with my installer and he was wearing a T-Shirt from his daughter's 1999 trip to New York to play in a National High School Orchestra.

He turn around and the on the back of the shirt was a silhouette of the skyline complete with the Towers.

I will NEVER get over it!

BTW....when someone asks, "Where were you?"...
I say "I was the 3rd reply on the first thread at Free Republic".

Here it is....World Trade Center

[RummyChick]

Would it be in total bad taste to have some of those horrid photos available to flash in the face of the anti-war demonstrators with an equally heart rendering caption?

[CarolAnn]

One of the things I love about FR is that you guys post this exact thread from time to time, just so we don't forget the horror of that day. I wish it was done in the media more often. I realize that it may upset some of the families of those that perished, but people are forgetting about the threat that still faces our nation.

This is a link to what was, in my opinion, the most dramatic raw footage that was shown. The screams of the people that realized what they just saw still gets to me.

I don't know html very well, so just click on the question marks. It will get you there.

[woofie]

Well Well Well Guess Bush hasn't been doing the job he ought to have been doing. Now we get to find out if he has any balls.

Care to comment again?
