Yes
yes, completely. I was listening to Glenn Beck today and he was playing the 911 of the woman looking for her husband and he walked up, covered in ash, while she was still on the phone. It was very emotional and moving. I know I’ll cry alot this weekend.
Yes.
My wife was in the process of leaving me when it happened.
Within the month I would be laid off.
But I no longer get emotional from grief, it comes from a place of being able to survive it all and gratitude for all we have.
Yes
I didn’t think I would until I heard some recordings
of broadcasts during the event itself. Brought it all back.
The emotions evoked were not sympathy or sadness.
Not even close.
Mad as hell.
Yes and I am still mad too.
Yes It piss’s me off
I will never be a NYer, but I am an American. Yes, I still get emotional, and I want to fight back against the ones that did it.
>>>This Sunday, are we all New Yorkers again? Do you still feel the emotion?
Hell yeah.
Go back and read the FREEper Threads from that day if you want to relive it i have done so over the years
You are not alone
I do and while the actual event will always twist my guts, what upsets me even more is that so many ‘Americans’ just don’t care anymore. I didn’t lose anyone on that day but my heart goes out to those who did every time some idiot on tv or in the media minimizes the day, goes off into to muslims whining about their ‘fear and persecution’ and like situations.
And every year some friggin moron like Bloomberg and Obama tries to push that memory further from our minds in the name of ‘healing’ and to further their political goals.
Some of us will never forget.
I was three blocks from ground zero, and the second plane flew right by my apartment window before it hit the second tower. We were evacuated, moved back in weeks later, then I moved to a different building. But I spent the next five years walking the loop around Broadway and the Hudson River, as I had done before it happened, so I saw it all pretty close up.
I will certainly never forget. And there are many personal stories I could tell about it, things I saw or heard from friends.
Yes. I think I always will. I couldn’t look at the list of victims. A classmate died, I know that because she was an officer in the Port Authority and she was climbing one of the towers with firemen when it collapsed and it was in the news. A cousin by some miracle was running late to work that day and she survived but we didn’t know for about 2 weeks whether or not she was okay. Years ago when working in trust operations I use to wire large sums daily to some trust related businesses in the towers.
Yes, very.
YES! Lost a beloved cousin in the twin towers.
If I had been President at least three middle east governments would have paid a terrible price as they toppled, and two governments would have been required to pay for the reconstruction.
And if Russia and China did not like that, they would better think twice before they make a move.
We were way too civil.
There was plenty of emotion by all in attendance. In the rain. Americana at its finest.
