IN MEMORIAM, SEPTEMBER 11, 2001

One of my websites ^ | September 11, 2001 | Steve Golding and Cacique

[Cacique]

On September 11, 2001 our nation was attacked. Like many New Yorkers Steve Golding lost a friend in the World Trace Center attack. He created a flash video that became one of the most watched videos on the internet. I was webmaster for WABC radio host Steve Malzberg at the time and contacted Steve Golding to see if we could run the video from our website. It was the most requested video that we had on the site.

It is appropriate that on this anniversary I link to it again so that we can be reminded what this anniversary is all about. Why our friends, neighbors and relatives who serve in our armed forces are sacrificing their lives. It must also serve as a reminder why we must mnake the right choice on November 2, 2004. Too many of my fellow New Yorkers have forgotten or at least they have become complacent, thinking we can negotiate with evil. We cannot.

I am linking to the video so that we can remind ourselves of that day and also so that some newbies to this site who have never seen it may have the opportunity to view it.

You can view the video by clicking on the link below, a new window will pop up. It is a large file (7 megs) so please be patient.

Steve Golding's Video

 

 

Steve Golding is also a member of Rolling Thunder and the webmaster of http://www.powforum.org

 

After the attack and during the recovery a memorial light was put in place. Two powerful spotlights facing the sky where the towers stood. The following shots were taken by me from pier 58 in Brooklyn on April 13, 2002 one day before the lights were switched off. It was also my 50th birthday.

It's a civilised nine at night (Saturday) where I am...

But the tears won't stop flowing. For the victims of 9/11 and all the victims since....

Glad to have you back.

If you swing by NYC, drop me a line. Perhaps we can get some other freepers together for a patriotic freep, in defense of this great nation.

GOD BLESS THE U.S.A.

-good times, G.J.P.(Jr.)

[BobS]

So we are 7 hours apart; and It's Saturday morning for me and Friday night for you!

Stop crying. Those souls are being avenged. Russia is joining, and the Russian bears and Siberian wolves are very hungry.

I sent you a little email that you can answer in your time:) What was your dad doing around NYC?

...and never forgive.

NEVER AGAIN

I remember being the information lifeline to my good friend Marcia (Iowa native living in Jamaica).

We emailed back and forth for most of that night. (I wish I had kept a copy of them, but we have a new computer -- they are lost forever.)

The part about which I got MOST weepy was when I was describing to her how the everyday construction workers, etc., were working at the site; on their own time, until they were pulled away or were so exhausted they had to stop. These were not professional rescue people, but construction guys. They came from all over the city, unbidden, to do work they knew they had to do. What a majestic thing to watch.

Random thoughts: How we truly missed the Soviet era of espionage and intrigue (!) and now had to face this new, untraditional, unfamiliar enemy....how I DID NOT WANT TO KNOW WHERE GEORGE W. BUSH was. If I didn't know, then neither did THEY....Ditto Dick Cheney....Oh, too many emotions stirred up.


STAY SAFE IN MOBAY, Marcia and Easton!

Dio, (IF you haven't already been pinged AND IF you think it is in GOOD FORM), could you post your WTC pictures here?

FR is the only place I see them. I always have to stop and look slowly at them, because they put whatever I'm doing into perspective.

Thank you.

[The Scourge of Yazid]

Give them my best.

I hope they make it out of this hurricane without any scratches.

The amazing thing is that there were emergency workers-or "first responders" as they're now universally referred to as-from across the breadth of the United States.

In fact, to the best of my recollection, there were even some firefighters who came in from OK City.

It truly was astonishing to see the response of the rest of this country to our plight.

[Watery Tart]

Bump, and thanks for the pic!

[BobS]

You are a gentle person. I'm not. You may feel sorrow for the victims of 9/11; I feel anger for the people responsibile for it.

[MacDorcha]

Never forget!

[Watery Tart]

It WAS astonishing. IIRC, even some from Wisconsin went, also.

But when no one could get into the city that first night, I was amazed to watch those construction workers. The emotion on their faces....

[steveegg]

Thank you both.

[Northern Yankee]

Thanks...

Watched a program on PBS last night (I should have known better...) on the attacks on 9/11.

It started off on the reactions between the Air Traffic Control and NORAD's response to the hijackings. It was interesting, but then became the program became a venom spilled attack on the Bush Administration.

They exonerated the Clinton Administration and was relentless in going after Bush, and Condi Rice. They cited she never gave the commission answers they were looking for, which is nonsense. I saw those hearings.(It sounded as though Bill Moyers was narrating.)

I became angry at a program, and PBS, that instead of pulling people together on this anniversary, worked at splitting people apart, and exploiting a tragedy.

I find that despicable.

God bless you all on this anniversary, and God Bless America!

[Watery Tart]

You are a gentle person. I'm not. You may feel sorrow for the victims of 9/11; I feel anger for the people responsibile for it.

Well, I was fairly weepy that night, and on occasion since then.

I get pretty corked off at those evil bastards assholes shi'iteheads congresscritters Islamofascists on a regular basis, don't worry. Just ask Mr. Tart about how I scream at the TV, lol.

Thanks for the powerful memorial post! God Bless America.

[steveegg]

Why, oh why would you ever watch P-BS? They're a gubmint black hole.

[Northern Yankee]

You're right... I should have known better.

It started off interesting... with tapes between Air Traffic Control and NORAD, that I hadn't heard before, but then the program just spun out of control.

"Prison abuse? ABUSE? Get the cushy chair, fercryinoutloud!"

Gee! You are in my militia! Load weapons and clean up! Panties on all prisoner's heads!
