Oh yeah I saw a video of this two years ago. It was terrible. Many people were talking about their lost family members and things like that. I can't beileve someone would do that though. That's why I'm afraid of planes sometimes.

You've only heard about it since two years ago? That surprises me. But yeah, it was really really sad. I was in....umm...I believe the second grade at that time. And I can still remember it.

My distant uncle survived it by...being late.
Since he worked near the middle of the building.

As much as I agree that this event has a large meaning, there was so much coverage on it back then. I could imagine the "people who created it" thinking "we've succeeded."
The main fact I dislike all the media attention on it is because much of the broadcast put too much "feeling" over it. Isn't that what the "other side" wants? To cause fear and "American Hollywood-like media" made it more fearful. Compare it to other country's media, it's very different. I remember watching it from China news, Canadian news and British news as well.
The huge amount of the American coverage (makes sense since it took place in America) and the excess drama put in is what bothers me. I find the media in this way (unrelated to 9/11) encourages people that "if they do this, their views will be on tv". Though putting that aside, that is in the past and is a little unrelated to this day. I would like it if they put more respect on the fallen a little more but that's my two cents. I give my respects to the victims, the unfortunate and the fallen people.

Cars have higher accidental rates and kill more people than planes. When planes get into accidents, it's on the news more because it's more rare with more people on board at once. When it's in an accident, the impact is just more large so it's more noticeable. Don't let planes scare you.

Yeah, I was eating cereal before going to bed for school and my mom was watching Oprah Winfrey who was talking about it. When I saw the towers fall I was like "OMG! What the heck happened?" I was clueless...But when I went to school the next day, my teacher was talking about it. Then my mom showed me the video. It was sad.

this is the first time i heard of it..

Honestly, there's a large amount of conspiracy behind all this. It's hard to decide what is real and not about 9/11.
I don't understand the war at all. I happen to be pro-war. But, this war is pointless, no reason to it except to find terrorists, which is effective to some extent. It's gonna be and already is another Vietnam. We have no specific objective.
I'm sorry, we'll have to face it, we can't find ALL the terrorists, we can't even find one, the most important terrorist. Osama.
Anyway, I don't know what to say, 9/11 happened and it may happen again. But, there's one problem. Obama, America's president. He's a peaceful man, which is respectful, but, there's a fine line between being peaceful and scared of what's going to happen enough so that he won't do anything. No offence, but I think there should be changes. Fix the war, then our country. From what I see in people and their lifestyles. We can hold out. WE shouldn't pay for the illegal immigrants or millions on welfare. Start being independant please.
I'm not even gonna talk about George Bush, he made enough mistakes to mess this country up bad. Sorry if you liked him. I have my reasons.
We have spent too much money on fixing our country when this war will just break it over and over it again.
As long as more terrorists stand, there will always be danger.
9/11 was most likely terrorists and government fault, they didn't take the beginning attacks seriously enough. So it escalated.
Angry Dante FTW. XD
Even if we do catch Osama, they won't stop, a new leader will take his place, and it will continue for generations to come. Until we show that there are extremely bad consequences for their terrorists actions, they will not stop, for anything.
The government needs to get their priorities straight. Enough said.
I won't talk anymore, this page will get lengthy if I do.

It was really sad. You sometimes can't believe the stuff that happens. It was awful for everybody.

I really don't like to get into politics about this sort of thing. There's all kinds of things that the government could've should've would've done to prevent this, or that they could change. But the fact of the matter is that people died. Lots of people died.

I am aware of the London bombings, and the tsunami in Indonesia, and the cyclone that hit Myanmar, and everything else that's messed up in this world, whether natural or man-made. Those are all as bad as 9-11, and the people who died in those disasters should be recognized as well.
