Wow. As I kind of expected, People are polarized on this issue. About 1/2 of the comments (so far) are very much against posting the images, and about 50% are very thankful for posting them.


The WTC incident has really affected the entire country. But there are those of us (like my self) WHO DO NOT KNOW WHAT IT IS LIKE TO BE IN A SKY SCRAPER.


I have never been in a Sky Scraper, and if I have, I probably have never been higher than 10 floors. So this was a real eye opener for me. It has helped me understand somewhat the terror the people felt. Gosh, just looking at some of the pictures terrified me.


I don't want to elaborate, but I am really shaken up by this entire incident. I, in my own way, am trying to reconcile this event. I just want to help others who like me, are having a hard time adjusting.

I think this is a good post. We as a nation, have become so PC that we don't want to look at any pain or suffering that might directly affect us. We need to see these pictures so that we won't forget. We need to know that if we don't fight this war, that more of this is waiting for us.

We need to quit glossing over the truth. You did nothing perverse or in bad taste. You showed no mangled flesh or impaled bodies. Yet even if you did, it would still be the truth. This is important. We need a constant reminder of what we are fighting against. We are so used to the filter of our media that maybe some don't want the truth.

I don't have a problem with the pictures you've posted, vannrox. But I do think the title of your thread could be changed and you'd receive a much different response.

While we must never forget, the horror of it all hits too close to home. Your title was key in that.

You and I are on the same page. I have never been in a skyscraper either, and never even seen one in person. I am in central California, and we just don't have buildings like this here.
The view from the ground up was the most incredible, and really gives one a different prospective.
These kinds of pictures should be shown so we never forget what happened that day. I will not ever understand why people want these pictures hidden from view.

The photos are excellent. There will never again be photos like those. Keep them safe.

I just wish the title were different, it took away from them and brought back to mind the bodies falling out of the building. But I did enjoy the photos.
