Remembering 9/11... 10 years later

[mlmpetert]

Thank you for starting this thread Matty and naming it "Remembering 9/11... 10 Years Later". It has irked me hearing it referred to the "10th Anniversary" on the news, it’s a day of remembrance and mourning for me and most others. Also thank you for not putting it in the political forum.

Unfortunately i was traveling all weekend and was unable to watch anything in remembering this day 10 years ago. I watch a amazing documentary last year and will see if i can find it for those interested. The documentary had no interviews it was just a timeline of the day using actual camera footage, much of it was armature footage. The feelings it provoked were unreal and similar to the feeling we all shared the day this terrible event unfolded. It took me about 30 minutes to realize the footage was all real and not reenactments.

In traveling i saw a LOT of police and a LOT of small/mid sized u-haul like trucks pulled over. We all heard a lot about how yesterday was the safest day America has had considering how high we had our guard up, and it felt that way for me. I drove under a lot of bridges on my way back from NJ that were lined with people, fire trucks, police cars and American Flags. No one was celebrating anything and it was done with classiness and respect.
