Five years ago today, the world changed.
With that, I thought we should take some time out to honor the memory of 9/11. I don't like to use the word "celebrate" when it comes to remembering a tragedy such as this. I'm not sure it ever gets easier to think about, even after all this time.
My thoughts go out to those who lost their lives and the families who go on remembering them. It was a truly dark time that I hope no one ever has to see again.

I feel bad for the victims of 9/11, and what I feel worse for, are the well over 100,000 people who've lost their lives, as a result of 9/11 across the world, due to an Imperial styled policy by a bunch of retards.
The people killed on that day should be remembered, but not for how their death's have been exploited.

The main thing I remember about 9/11 was all of those particular individuals who were clapping, laughing, cheering, dancing, and singing; because, they were so happy this happened to the US. Also, noting the euphoric glee that was in their eyes; they seeing all of those people die that day.
You know, I’ve never felt that way, even when similar happened to my enemy and their people.
9/11 to me is similar to honoring the Vietnam veteran’s who died and are on the Veterans Memorial Wall; of which I hold in very high regard.

That's a pretty f***ed up thing for anyone to do.

My heart goes out to those lost and their families.
It was a terrible day and one that changed the world forever. The aftershocks will be felt for many many years to come.
Let's not forget to give respect to the people who risked their life to help those in need - they are the real world superheroes.

Tears still come to my eyes as I remember the tragedy that occured 5 years ago today. My heart goes out to all of the families and friends of those who lost their lives on this sad day in 2001. My prayer is still that God will take care of them as they continue to face life without their loved ones. I am still very thankful for the people who were willing to risk their lives to try to save or help the ones that they could.

The tragedy 5 years ago... It makes me think more of the ones on the plane than the ones in the buildings actually.. I do not mean that I don't pity the ones who died / lost family members from the building, but, the terror to be in that plane.. Quite hard to comprehend. (Pardon for going 1 bit off topic) - I saw on 'Discover channel', a similar happening, to the plane thing, atleast. The plane wasn't seen to as it should´ve been, and so the rear-wing was out of function... The plane ended up, after 1½ hours of flying with a malfunctioning rear-wing, crashing straight down into the water in 300km/h.. Everything was recorded and stored in the special box that planes today have, and on the tape you could see how the pilots didn't even stop trying to straighten the planes course even though they were doomed to crash... It's not as big as 9/11, but the terror was, if possible, even worse..
That is why, I pity people in planes even more, they are so helpless. (Especially in 9/11, as the plane was hijacked.)
My heart goes out to all who lost family members, and the lost family members.

Main thing I remember are all the people falling out of the building to their deaths. Which is why I don't like to think about it too often.

I am currently watching a 9/11 documentary by BBC. Five years later it still tugs the heart.
The stories of the survivors and those lost still bring still almost brings a tear to my eye.

The horror, that's what comes to my mind why i remember that day...the images of the peple jumping from the windows will give me the chills for a long time.
may they all rest in peace and hope we can get some wisdom from this kind of events...but unfornutelly that's not the case!
nowadays the horror endures on several levels...

9/11 will probably remain marked for most... Like when man walked on the moon, I think everyone remembers where they were and what they were doing when they learned about it and saw the images for the first time.
The sight of those jumping from the towers is what shakes me the most as well.
My thoughts and sympathy to those who lost from it, those who made their best to help and the victims.

I was going home from training (to become an It professional). In the main railway station people were looking - no , staring , towards a huge screen that was there (for the display of commercials, advertisements, news, etc. . At that point I didn't really realize that it was the screen they were staring at. I just saw a gropup of people standing around. Innocently, I asked some fellows "do they give away something for free there ?" Then, I looked up. This couldn't be true, I though. I had never seen such a thing. And I shuddered, as the first thought ran through my mind : This is the fall of the Tower of BabelSuddenly, christan myth turned into reality for me. That was a really frightening moment. I felt as if Sodom & Gomorrah would fall next.

I steered away from the tv programmes on 9/11 becuase its too hard to come to terms with. The amount of loss of life is terrible. People have lost loved ones and friends and its hard to imagine what they are going through.

I remember when it happened. Was sleeping my dad woke me up 'planes have hit the world trader center towers.'
I asked him if he was joking, and what had gone wrong.
"Terrorrists hyjacked them."
Then as I was still waking up watching on people jumping, and the towers collapsing.
Hell Broke Loose.
I remember sitting in a waiting room later that day at a hospital watching preliminary reports of attacks on the Afghanizatan people thinking "I hope they burn in hell."
Probably shouldn't have thought that, but I was younger and it was a long day =/
My religion teacher read us a poem about people jumping, very sad.
