Going down to the site, will offer prayers for all freepers. I have been warned not to travel by a muslim, I told him he needs to warn his imams and mullahs... one more will be all it takes... then they will see 'a crusade', but thanks for the warning. After reminding him of what his 'god' set forth in the Quran (shocked him immensely), I assured him that God himself controls my destiny... not men, and I rest in the assurance that He himself will take care of this, whether I live or die.
And I also assured him as a Catholic, i'm much more dangerous dead than alive... because we can intercede, we don't think about 'the flesh and sex' after. We also believe (in the opposite of Islam), that the blood of the martyrs... is the seed of the faith; Like those who died that day innocently in the towers, those firemen and policemen who sacrified their lives, the soldiers who sacrifice everyday, the families that sacrifice to go on, children without their parents and parents without their children...
We can't afford to believe the terrorists; Chaos is of God... we know who the father of chaos is.
I was here in spirit - the spirit of lurkership.

Here is an actual thread from that day by the FReeper stalwart A+Bert....no relation.

My thoughts and prayers are said for all. God Bless You.

I wish I had known about FR that horrible day. I spent the majority of the day in the dark depending on the MSM.
Back then I was not a member of FR. I was a NewsMaxer on that now defunct forum. While reading the original thread from that day that you provided, I noticed many FReeper names that I are totally unfamiliar to me. Of course there are old stalwarts that are still pounding the keys still, the number of unfamiliar names surprised me.
Thanks for those links

Sorry for typos
S/B.... that are totally
S/B.... the keys, still,
GREAT POST RIGHT AFTER THE PLANES HIT:

>>FOX FBI now checking on hijacking....<<
THIS IS NOT A LAW ENFORCEMENT PROBLEM!!!!!!!!
This is a military problem, and it requires a military solution.

On that first thread by OldEconomyBuyer, the first hint of terrorism came rather quickly:
"Same here - seems like the plane blew through most of the upper floors of the North Tower.
If this is terrorism . . .

If you look at the time stamp on some of the later posts, they correspond with the second plane making impact.
Tears and prayers.....may our resolve be forever strong.
Here is an interesting conjecture on the Pennsylvania crash thread:
To: nd76
If the plane wasn't shot down, then there were probably some true American heros that averted a further disaster.

Ah, great call there, too.
Still true today. And the Dems would return this whole thing to treatment as a LE problem, given the chance.
I pray for President Bush.
God bless.
Chilling.
Thanks for posting - a reminder is always good.
Just when I think my heart has hardened to the ugliness of 9-11, I watch video of that day and just break down all over again. I shared it with my kids this year and my son is full of questions. It's good to remember.
