I cannot imagine what it was like to witness that scene in person. I'm sitting here in Omaha and watching it on TV was simply horrific. Even to this very day some of those scenes still make me think it looked more like a bad movie.

For what it is worth I have a strong opinion regarding those people who think some of these photos and threads are for morbid interest. Yes, looking at this - heck, just the knowledge of this all - is unthinkable. It is not comfy to look at or to envision. But it is REAL. It happened. We have to make ourselves look at the things we do not want to see.

I truly feel for your personal witnessing of this terrible event. Actually "terrible" isn't enough. But you know there are no words that can adequately describe these events. And when we feel how awful it is to remember that scene and to now look at these pictures how in the world can we dishonor those right in the middle of it all losing their very lives by shielding ourselves from this horror. I hate to look but I have to. We must always remember this and I know we will.

(PS...I LOVE New York City. I have always wanted to live there. G-d bless you.)

Thank you for your kind words. I agree with you about keeping the vivid images in the forefront. Hell, I wish the networks would run the video clips of the second tower being hit and the towers collapsing on a regular basis, during breaks of the most popular shows, so that people never forget what we're fighting for here. I just fear that over time, the mainstream media will make people forget just how horrific and jarring that was, and concentrate more on the poor little Afghans.
