9/11

Even if the US Government did do it. We should still respect the 1,000's of innocent lives that are now gone due to the events on that day 8 years ago. Its good to remember, other days you might just totally forget. But its good to remember that day when it shocked the world and proper security procedures got added to most airports around the world.

why do we dwell on something that happened 8 years ago? Is it cause they were americans?

Its to remember the innocent lives that were lost. Like over 3,000 and something lives were lost because of 9/11. I don't remember it because they were Americans, I remember it because I have respect for all of the families who have lost people on that day. I also remember it because when I seen footage of the two airliners hitting the twin towers, it was shocking that anyone could do that. I have watched many doucnmentaires and even United 93 and still feel a bit sad because of what happened and how it happened.

I do the same for the 7/7 attacks in London.

Edit: If we stop remembering 9/11, does that mean we have to stop remembering D-Day and any other important events like that? I don't think so.

Amen.

Weird, I rarely ever see planes now but I noticed about 6 yesterday. I would be terrified to fly on 9/11.

I don't think a lot of British places have a minutes silence because of the fact it happened in America. But it would be nice if they did, 90 countries lost citizens that day, not just the US.

Dont be so silly, how did war have nothing to do with it? If you think that they just randomly attacked a US building for no reason then you good sir are a complete and utter idiot. Of course war and its overflowing riches was behind it.

You sir are a genius. How long did it take you to come to that conclusion? A lifetimes work? Years? Months? Or maybe just a split second to make yet another ridiculous forum post for your post count.

But when will this all stop? The date is still significant in my mind, like most people I link September 11th to the terrorist attacks but how long will these commemorations go on? Forever?

The difference with D-Day is that it affected everyone in the UK and pretty much everyone around the world. I can loosely relate to it as my life would be different if it never happened, like the majority of people I know of family members participating in WWII. September 11th though, hasn't made any real difference to my life other than the evasive procedures at airports these days.

Until something tops it, which it probably will, 9/11 will remain, for those who saw it all unfold before their eyes on TV around the world, the most shocking day in history, nevermind the tsunami where 100,000+ people died, 9/11 takes that grim title.

Until something more bigger happens? Doesn't mean we have to stop now though.

They don't care, and don't do silences about the attacks in London. So why should i care about them, when they don't care about what happens in my own country?

9/11 wasn't a life changing moment to me. The people that fought the second world war changed my life immensely, and i honestly don't think they get the recognition. Their real heroes.

It has become like not a big deal anymore, even here in america. There really wasn't much about it yesterday tbh.
