Twin beams of light grace NY skyline once again

Fox News | 9-11-03 | Randall Flagg

[RandallFlagg]

Just lit up....Again.

Prayers of rememberance.

[Pro-Bush]

BUMP! Prayers extended to all the families and friends of 9/11's victims....Never forget!

[Aliska]

I posted this on another thread today and will be a little redundant by posting it again:

Here is a gorgeous commemorative picture. Link only good for today. After today, scroll down to the archives and find the photo for September 11th.

Tribute in Light (outstanding photo of lights)

While Pittsburgh AM station KDKA had as it's guest this morning, the minister of information for Islam speaking emphatically about the "hate crimes" against Islam in the US.

Screw you, KDKA. I'm deaf to you now.

K.L.Miller -- May 8, 1958 to Sept 12, 2001. Rest in peace, brother.

[PianoMan]

Thanks for the note. I'm high up in Rock Ctr and can't see it yet.

[RandallFlagg]

Sheesh! Talk about not knowing when to give it a rest!

[demlosers]

[SwinneySwitch]

Thanks for the wallpaper!

[SunStar]

NEVER FORGET.

NEVER AGAIN.

LET'S ROLL !

"Our war on terror begins with al Qaeda, but it does not end there. It will not end until every terrorist group of global reach has been found, stopped and defeated."

Fellow citizens, we'll meet violence with patient justice -- assured of the rightness of our cause, and confident of the victories to come.

I will not forget this wound to our country or those who inflicted it. I will not yield; I will not rest; I will not relent in waging this struggle for freedom and security for the American people...

President George Walker Bush
September 20, 2001

---

As we remember September 11, 2001, we reaffirm the vows made in the earliest hours of our grief and anger. As liberty's home and defender, America will not tire, will not falter, and will not fail in fighting for the safety and security of the American people and a world free from terrorism. We will continue to bring our enemies to justice or bring justice to them. This Patriot Day, we hold steady to this task.

President George Walker Bush

Who has a screen shot ???

[AmishDude]

Listen to 96.9 in the morning. You'll be happier.

[Shermy]

Dump the stupid monument/development plans. The WTC monument should be open space and those lights, lit every night forever.

[facedown]

Outstanding!

[So Cal Rocket]

[RandallFlagg]

I just looked behind me at FoxNews and saw the beams. But, I saw it again and it's still kinda light outside. I have no screenshot capabilities. Sorry.

[Glenn]

Listen to 96.9 in the morning.

It was because of 9/12 I was tuned into Rose and Quinn. Thanks, though.

[TomB]

That's nothing. Yesterday morning, around 7:45, the host, Larry Richert (?) was interviewing the father of a Marine returning from Iraq. He tried every leading question he could think of to get the father to say that morale was low and things were going bad. But to the father's credit, he never took the bait and maintained his son was happy, morale was steady, and the soldiers and marines were VERY proud of the job they were doing.

Richert couldn't hide his dismay.

SEPTEMBER 11, 2001: "ATTACK ON AMERICA!" (Updated Daily)

[Samwise]

Last night Samwise Jr. said that they should turn on the two lights again. I'm bookmarking this for her.

[Samwise]

Richert couldn't hide his dismay.

I have no clue who Richert is, but this is so typical of liberals and Dems--they desperately want Bush, America, and our military to fail.

They make me sick.

[DoughtyOne]

I don't blame you a bit. And I'll add, it was all I could do to keep from throwing a brick through my television during the memorial ceremonies in 2001. At some of those services they had what seemed like more Moslems Clerics than Christian clergy there. If I had been a relative of one of the victims at those services, there would have been one clear voice objecting in the cool crist autum air. They'd have heard me in D.C.

You mean Dan Marino's brother-in-law, right? The man ought to be put down for name dropping. Shame on KDKA for putting him in John Signa's place. He's a disgrace.

[Phsstpok]

The most moving image(s) of the towers of light tribute for me come from a VR 360 image that gives you a movable view from the base of the lights.  The spherical image was taken the final night of the original tribute.  I bring it up and, at the same time, launch an MP3 of Celine Dion's "A New Day" song.  You can accompany it with the audio of your choice.

Link here and then choose the upper right hand picture/link (tribute in light panorama).  It will launch a separate window.  I think you need to load a free player the first time.

[meg70]

That was awesome! Thanks for the recommendation..

[Brian S]

I, for one, would like to see the "twin beams" become a permanent fixture at the WTC site.

[meg70]

[PianoMan]

There they are! Visible from midtown.

[OldFriend]

Believe it or not. The people in the neighborhood of the lights complained and demanded the lights be put out.

Only in NY......

[meg70]

The NY Port Authority recently said I beleive that the beams of light will be turned on every year for one day only on September 11.

Oh wow! Those are stunning. Thanks for the link. I had that one for my desktop but lost it when I got hit with blaster. Now I wouldn't use it again because I use my own photos in case some kind soul offers it back. Someone else might like to have it though.

[Aliska]

Thanks. You are bolder than I. I was leery about possible copyright difficulties so I just posted the link. Nice, isn't it?

[lakey]

Fabulous photos. But they make me feel sad.

[freeangel]

saved and thanks.

[tet68]

They need to make this PERMANENT!
They need to make this more powerfull, use lasers etc.
RED,WHite and Blue!

[Alberta's Child]

You're right -- only in New York.

I can actually sympathize with those people in one respect, though. One of the things that has apparently gotten out of hand is the crass commercialism around Ground Zero, involving the sale of 9/11-related "memorabilia" (as if New York hosted the Olympics in September of 2001 or something like that).

[meg70]

I'm not sad because there will be the biggest building in the world in its place. (which drives the Islamokazis crazy)

Such is the nature of America, our freedom loving spirit lives inside us.. not a structure or even the Capitol or White House

They dried to destroy our spirit and found that they made it stronger than ever.

[WVNan]

After 9/11/01 someone put together a slide show of scenes from the tragedy along with a song. It was so beautiful and I can't believe I didn't bookmark it. Does anyone happen to know where to find it?

[Thebaddog]

Those lights are stronger than anything I have ever seen. It makes me feel sad as well, but proud at the same time.

God Bless America. God bless those braved souls that died saving lives.

[justshe]

Never...ever...forget.

[republicanwizard]

The most beautiful city in the world! It's unbelievable.

[Hamilton2]

We know GW won't forget......

[spoiler2]

Wow, post 32, with the beams shining on the clouds.......

It vividly portrays the ascension to their new existence, of all those souls at once!

Thanks for all the great shots, but that one especially.
