Has it really been six years since 9/11 happened? It's weird, seems like forever ago, yet once you start hearing it talked about on the radio it all comes back to you.

On another note, they were playing some of the 911 calls on the radio this morning. Haunting stuff.

yeah, hmm.. strange. even living thousands of miles away, i remember how wierd it was for around here ... a real heavy mood in the air for days. this has gotta be a real tough day for some people closer to New York.

Yeah, six years. Wow. Moment of silence.

Funny how many people in NYC still treat eachother with disrespect and act all selfish.

I remember riding one time and a cage with those never forget stickers got impatient with my a$$ while in traffic (stop sign with peds crossing).

Basically it was forever ago for me.. I hardly remember it happening, the only thing I remember was gluing something in my 6th grade geography class when all of a sudden there was an announcement or something like that.

and just think people in NYC dont know what year it happened. I am talking about people that are in their late 20's. I was watching the news and someone actually thought it happend in 2003. Come on im 28 and can remember when it happened 6 years ago. Hell my niece is 12 and can remember what year it happened. Course it was a month and a half before my oldest son turned 1 and my wife was just barely pregnant with my second child. (he was born in june 2002). I was actually in the shower when the first one hit and my wife came running in and told me a plane just ran into the WTC. I thought she was lieing and finished my shower. Got out walked to the tv just in time to see the second plane hit. I believe I was watching CNN at the time but cant remember. Thats when I realized she wasnt joking.

I still remember that day every time I look out my aunt's apartment window (I stay there for a couple of months) since I have great view of the skyline mostly facing the area that contained WTC 1 & 2.

Plus the day after I had all my friends abandon me thanks to some girl and a fight.

Funny thing was that I was at the base of the buildings on 9/9/01 just to think while strolling around. Went back to the piers in Long Island City to just sit back and look at the whole skyline just to think.

September 11 will forever be a dreadful and disheartening date of US history.

I sat in my tenth grade biology class watching the news in silence and perplexity. I had no idea that 911 would lead us to such deadly results six years later.

It's quite appalling how deep of a hole this country has dug itself into...

Sixty years later, how many of us notice the anniversary of Pearl Harbor?

Don't get me wrong -- I live in NYC and people who were downtown at the time are still shaken up when they talk about it, but for everybody else who wasn't directly affected in some way, it's already the distant past.

I live in the Vancouver area in BC, it's still right there and will be for a long, long time. I was giving seminars on fund raising later that morning , there wasn't a dry eye to be seen in any of the groups I dealt with that day. It's an emmotional subject for a lot of people that weren't there and it's unfair to write everyone off that way. As to Pearl Harbour, have you ever been there? If you have then you must have seen the crowds that flock to that sight, the emotions shown on their faces is incredible. I'm continually amazed by the same reaction from all of the Japanese tourists that were there when I was.
