I keep hoping the years will help lessen the pain I feel each September 11, but it does not.
Please don't let those whose lives were taken be in vain. Treasure your friends and family, as the families of those who perished can no longer treasure them. Live your life to the fullest each day.
9/11 to me is a shocking tragedy. about 3 years before it happen, I was walking at the lobby of the tower during my visit to NYC. 3 years after that, I just came back from the mosque and saw what's going on as i turn on the news. I was shocked and embarrassed.
I was shocked because I was at the tower before...
I was embarrassed when I think, could the people who have the same religion with me did that....

The people who did that are NOT the same religion as you...they only say that. They pervert Islam so they can justify murder. Christians have the same problem. There are many who call themselves Christian and then do horrible things in the name of Jesus. They are all monsters.

I agree with you. What kind of god would want their follower to promote terrorism. Being religious is about peace.
I can tell you that I've been going through a lot of difficulties going in and out of LAX ever since 9/11. I think we all do. I sure missed the old days where I used to walk all the way to the departure hall just to watch the planes.

Ten years on, and the feelings are still intense, but thankfully, have moved a bit further into the bad memories category of what my life in New York has shown me. I look forward to visiting the new site of the World Trade Centers.

I was in my work when I saw the news about the crash of the first plane on the Internet. We turned on a TV in time to see the second plane crashing. I thought that day was having to start World War III... I hope not to see something like it again while I live!
I have a newspaper kept until today, to show my grandchildren and nephews that I lived the days when the human insanity reached its limits.

BTW, in 09/29/1988 (13 years before the 9/11!), a VASP captain became a national hero performing a tuneaux and a screw, avoiding an attack almost similar to those practiced in September 11:
VASP flight 375 hijack (Boeing 737-300 PP-SNT)
"Shortly after takeoff, the unemployed tractor driver Raimundo Nonato started to shoot at the door of the pilots' cabin with a caliber 32 gun. Nonato blamed the president José Sarney by shortages that were in itself and Brazil and decided to crash the jet full of passengers on the Planalto Palace. The gunfire injured one passenger and crew, and captain Fernando Murilo de Lima e Silva yielded to the kidnapper. Once in the flight deck, Nonato said to take heading to Brasilia. The co-pilot, triying to get the radio communication receiver, was shoot in the head and died instantly.
For more than three hours, the commander Murilo negotiated with the kidnapper, who flew over Brasilia, Goiania and Anapolis. Given the intransigence of Nonato and the possibility of running out of fuel, he came to make two moves almost suicidal trying to disarm the kidnapper. At first, he put the plane to turn on itself until the tip-head and return to thei original position. Then, a screw, leaving it to fall with the nose down while revolving. This maneuver was so sudden that part of the stabilizer fell of the Boeing over some houses in Goiania. Engineers said that this was the only factory record of this kind of maneuver with a Boeing 737. The stunt was witnessed by an Air Force fighter plane which accompanied the flight and was later reported by the Capt. Murilo which eventually landed in Goiania airport (some 180km - southwest - far from Brasilia). Once grounded, Nonato demanded a smaller plane to escape, but he took three shots by the Special Forces and died a few days later, admitted at the Hospital Saint Genevieve, in Goiania. As he recovered well from injury, death became a mystery that would only be unveiled by the coroner Fortunato Badan Palhares, from the State University of Campinas, who autopsied the body and confirmed he died of infection with sickle cell anemia, a congenital disease."
The aircraft hijacked was Boeing 737-317 (23176/1213), which operated for CP Air as C-FCPK, VASP as PP-SNT, Morris Air as EI-CHD and still operates at Southwest as N698SW.
and this was the target (the brazilian "White House"):

My friend, we have not yet seen the limits of human insanity. WWII would be a good example, but even that is only a step in our cruelty to one another throughout history. 9/11 will exist forever for those who experienced it, but as time goes on it will be eclipsed by other horrible events if we do nothing to change our behavior.

The whole world knows that there is nothing to do with religion.
Those are fanatics and worst than monsters.

Absolutely 100% agreed.
