"Osama bin Ladin."

Apparently so...seems like much longer than two months ago, doesn't it?!

Yes it does. Last night on PMSNBC I saw the film clips of both planes hitting the towers for the first time in several weeks. Seeing them again, it felt like a knife went through me. The shock but most of all the anger and rage came back full force.

Thanks for this. I caught it all on the radio, stuck trying to get to, then rapidly away from the Sears Tower. FR did a better job, and uncanny instant analysis.

It's amazing! An excellent recap of that moment's unfolding, CNN misinformation and all!

It's impressive how terse and informative most posts were.

We were on vacation until yesterday, but after reading this thread, I remember my hands shaking as I wrote that, and thinking, "bin Laden came back to finish what he started in 1993." I even remember a few skeptics when I named bin Laden on another thread on 9/11. But in my gut, I knew who did it. Reading this thread brought back all the fear, the terror, the tears--and the anger, the cold hard anger, I felt then and what I feel now.

Was this off my mind as we vacationed in Florida? Hardly. The tee shirts we ordered in advance of our sailing conference had a big American flag on the back as a memorial to the victims of 9/11 and a buck from every sale when to a charity for the victims and their families. We remembered those Seven Sea'ers lost in the WTC/Pentagon/Pennsylvania hijacking. And even though we rarely watched TV (and I didn't have internet access--it was a REAL vacation), I kept up with the news about the war and the investigations. Every time I saw a Florida flight school advertising for students, my jaw clenched. But I was heartened by the number of American flags flying and how we have not forgotten--or ever will.
