My favorite 911 tribute:
http://attacked911.tripod.com/
I've watched it a hundred times and I still find it as dsturbing as the first time I watched it.
I wanted to watch the video last night but YouTube decided to do maintenance. :( I just watched the video a few minutes ago and then skimmed through the posts on this thread as I tried to reorient myself to the here-and-now.
Speechless...
I could almost imagine I was in that building with him. The heat, the thick black smoke, unable to breathe, wondering how even the firefighters would get me out of there. Not knowing what had happened. Panic. Bring help in from everywhere, too young to die, have kids... deep down knowing it was a hopeless situation. I was surprised how calm he was, considering the circumstances. I wanted to pray. I recited the 23rd Psalm in my mind. Then.... "Oh God! Oh!" Deafening Silence. CHILLING. Heart dropped in my stomach. Knowing there were thousands others trapped in those buildings. Tears.. sobs...
God bless them.
Never forget. Let's Roll!
Damn
Bump for later
