No, let's not remind anyone of the terror that struck on 9/11. Wouldn't want to upset people with the truth.

I may get in trouble for saying this but,
Reality sucks, get used to it. What they did was a massive murder.
I'm not sorry if the sight of it offends people.

It should be disturbing and we should all be reminded.

Yeah, but maybe the top of the Empire State Building isn't a good place.

Reality can be disturbing sometimes....
Although maybe putting those items on the ground floor instead of the top floor would be more appropriate.
Or, maybe these people should just avoid going to skyscrapers in NYC.....

"It's depressing"
"ooo...pretty snowglobes"
There's something a little too 1984/Brave New World-ish about this that is totally disturbing. Sort of a collective mind-numb going on.
"They" are succeeding in making 9-11 just a distant disconnected memory which in years to come might never have even happened.
Thats what's even more depressing and disturbing.

NEW YORK- Lost amid the hoopla surrounding the celebrations of the end of World War II has been the 50th anniversary of the army plane crash into the Empire State Building. Many do not know of the tragic incident of July 28, 1945 -- the day a B-25 bomber, lost in fog, rammed into what was then the world's tallest building....

"It's disturbing," said Alma Sanguinetti, 70, who was visiting from San Francisco. So is that Sodom pit of a city you live in.

The Empire State Building has been hit by a plane. A B-25 'cleaned out' a floor in 1947, IIRC.
As for 9/11, people tend to forget what they cannot process. IMHO, every vote for Kerry was a person in denial.

I've been atop the Empire State Building since 9-11. For me, it was cathartic to stand there, looking south, imagining that airplane speeding past on my right headed for Tower One. We must never forget.
As far as I'm concerned, they can sell all the pictures they want to.

I tried to locate an actual online Empire State Building gift store, there does not seem to be an online store (there ARE third-party merchants selling stuff). If someone finds a phone number or Website to actually order these, please post....

They should put up a list with pictures and nationalities of ALL the persons that were murdered by ISLAMIC terrorists. Makes people reflect on WHY we are in the Middle East to begin with......

"It's disturbing," said Alma Sanguinetti, 70, who was visiting from San Francisco... A 10-year-old girl said, "It's depressing," then turned to the pretty snow globes.This is really a shame. If they had just placed a few more shiny bobbles around, perhaps some tinsel, they could have distracted these poor souls.

You notice these same folks never find it disturbing or depressing to teach our children every mistake or unfortunate byproduct that our country has ever done. Its just when the focus is on our enemies that they get squeamish.
