Excellent. I remember that I heard bin Laden first HERE before I heard it on the news.

We often hear accurate analysis here before it is public. There is a lot of expertise behind FR.

Had just moved back to AZ after my time at Off-Road.com and was getting moved in to a new place/ready to start new job at the newspaper. Went to my mother’s house for something or other and the first plane had just hit.

I remember thinking that FINALLY we were going to nuke those pieces of crap once and for all or at minimum, Arclight them until they looked like they’d been nuked.

Over the next few weeks as a regional reporter I got to see some of the most disgusting ‘running to the front of the parade’ bandwaggoning by local and county/state pols you can imagine as they tried to capitalize on it to their own ends great and small. As for the actual public, everyone but the liberals (not many here at the time) were looking forward to the retaliation that never really came...at least not the way it should have.

Over the next few years it was interesting to see their attitudes go from pissed off anger to confusion to disgust as the Dems managed to get what they wanted yet again while we lost people for nothing. There was a lot of resentment.

Wow, it is still so hard to watch. I was overseas at the time: When we got the initial reports, from locals phoning us, I, as many, assumed it was an accident involving a small plane. But, once we got to a TV with CNN on, the true horror struck us.

I also stayed up tonight & listened to the audio of The Howard Stern Show from 911. I’m no fan of his show, but once he and his cohorts realized the gravity of the situation, they (especially Stern) actually made a lot of sense. How soon people forget...

No - since it was September, there weren’t other campers, and he played music on the cd on his way home. All he noticed was the incredible quietness, but thought it was due to being away from the city, not to airlines being grounded.

How far was it from home? He didn’t stop anyplace for food or bathroom? Wow.

I on th eother hand worked literally next to a major runway, and the eerieness of first plane after plane after plane coming in there for landing, then an hour later total silence, was unforgettable in itself.

I was 11 and was on vacation in Hawaii with my family. We were still in bed as it was still early morning. Then we got a sudden call from my aunt telling us that a plane had hit one of the towers and we all rushed to turn the TV on and stayed glued to it for hours. We saw the second one get hit and fall live. I will never forget...

We had been scheduled to fly back to the states that day. Needless to say that didn't happen....

I was driving to work in Dallas...an hour and a half from home and listened to it all unfold on the radio (to this day I have a strong affection for the guys that did that broadcast.) Stuck in very heavy traffic at one point, I was next to a firetruck full of firemen. I looked at them and nearly all were in tears, as was I.

About an hour after getting to work, a good friend and coworker started softly singing God Bless America. I joined her and before we finished the whole department was singing as well.

Very few things make me cry. But 9/11 and the remembrance of that day and the time following...always brings me to tears. Tears of grief...tears of anger.

On the way in to work in Seattle at a forgotten downtown startup that folded in the post-9-11 tech slump. Rumors were that Somalis in SeaTac were celebrating.

I caught the end of a show on Fox News the other day (sorry don’t know what it was or who the guest was) but she outlined how the Bush Administration and Congress had the Saudis’ backs those days and hours after 911. It had me seething with rage realizing that House Bush covered for the Saudis. The Congress then whitewashed the 911 Commission report to exclude the role of the Saudis.
