i remember a broker that worked there i was in a training class with. he had a bum/stiff leg. I doubt he got out.
for me, i was watching a computer at the time it happened, stock market, and went to t.v. for the repeat of the flyin.
knew a number of people in those buildings. i think a lot of us that were stockbrokers at the time had friends or acquaintnces in those buildings.
one must keep in mind most if not all of those hijackers were saudi's. i hope they got their rewards as to the virgins.

a dog religion, a dog culture.
and no, i have neither forgot or forgave.
just riding those high speed elevators in that building gave me the willys.


I remember visiting the Sales office we had in the WTO too. It was our largest sales office because the big banks and brokerage firms were some of our largest customers. Our office was there before the first time they tried to blow it up in 1993. All our guys were in the office and had to walk 70 floors down, but that bombing was pretty ineffective so everyone got out safe. After the 93 bombing the WTC really beefed up their security procedures and I remember how much time it took to get into the building when I visited. Since this was before 9/11 high levels of security were still the exception and it really stood out to me. I remember saying to one of the sales managers on a visit that this was now one of the safest buildings in the world. How wrong I was.

On 9/11 all of our guys were out of the office on sales calls so none of our employees were injured. But one of our former executives had a son on flight 93. I was told he gave quite a eulogy at his sons funeral.

A moment frozen in time for me. I remember exactly where I was at and what I was doing when I heard the news.

I remember seeing some news reports where people stuck on the upper floors were jumping to escape the fires, and those firemen heading straight into that hell.

I have not forgotten, nor will I ever.

Never forget, never forgive,


....and 18 years later 2 former heads of the Department of Homeland Security,.... Janet Napolitano and Jeh Johnson both publicly stated on September 9, 2019, the greatest threat to America today is white nationalism and alt-right groups with guns.



Chew on that for a while.

This is a pretty long story, but I think it's very fitting reading for the 9-11 anniversary.

There are very few.times in my life that I can remember where I was and what I was doing. I remember where I was when Ronald Reagan was shot and I remember the day the towers fell. I was working on an apartment complex new.construction site. I had gone home to get some tools I had forgot. As I walked in the house the first tower fells. I watched for a few minutes then hauled butt back to jobsite. When I got there and told everyone what was happening the entire jobsite emptied. Even though we were miles away down in Texas everyone was afraid. Outside of town at Red River Army Depot is where the Patroit missiles are built. Since I was in junior high, people talked about if war broke out. RRAD would be a target. I sent my wife to Walmart to pick up a few things. There was no soup bread milk bottled water or any kind of ammo on the shelves. Since that day my family has kept a stash of stuff we'll need if it ever hits the fans. The events of that day still brings a tear to my eyes. God Bless America. May we never forget!

I was working in a factory and they called us together to announce that an airplane had hit one of the WTC Towers and that another, either a plane or large helicopter had hit the Pentagon.
A little while later they gathered us together again, telling us that two passenger jets had flown into each of the towers, they were on fire, and another had hit the Pentagon. In addition another passenger jet had crashed in Somerset County just 30 miles or so west of our location in Bedford PA.
At lunchtime I set in the car listening to the radio and wept and prayed. After lunch we were given the option of going home to our families. My first wife and I watched the news with my parents showing the towers collapsing and the dust and smoke billowing through New York.
That evening the community church had a joint service, and i wept and prayed some more.
Once the shock and grief wore off, I was mad as hell. Then Bush 2 gets on tv with a bunch of towel wearing azzholes telling me Islam is a religion of peace!
Phuq him and everyone else who refuses for whatever reason, be it fear or greed or stupidity, to call islam and muslims a danger to our country.
Especially, Phuq the people in this country who intentionally set up muslim "refugees" in communities allowing them to vote as a block and refuse to assimilate. These people at the very least should be seriously vetted and monitored if they wish to migrate to America. I'll be one of the first to agree to help people escape tyranny and aggression, but don't expect me to roll over and let them turn my home into the chit hole that they're supposedly "escaping" from.
Remember, they MURDERED over 3000 American civilian men, women, and children. Never let anyone forget!

Iโ€™ll never forget nor will I forgive.

Iโ€™m proud to live in a community that still remembers the thousands of innocent people that died because the camelfuckers wanted fame.

On my way to grab my coffee and help my brother with some construction projects I passed by our local firefighters planting hundreds of flags along the main road into and out of town. Theyโ€™ve extended the ladder truck and have a huge flag flying from the platform. Virtually every home and business had flags flying on my way out of town this morning and even more flying this afternoon on my way home.

Iโ€™m delighted to know that the camelfuckers woke this morning to bombs raining down on them and Iโ€™d not shed a tear if every camelfucker in the world met a sudden and violent end until they all cease to exist.

My thoughts as well...more about T Boon Pickens and typical whining, bitching, and moaning. I reckon folks are acting like it 9/10/01.
