Wow Gix..crazy.
I was managing an LA Fitness. Talking to someone using a treadmill. It came on the TV ..I looked around and the entire gym gathered around the treadmills and was watching in a matter of a min. Not one persona made a sound ....you could hear a pin drop. Talking about it takes me right back. Wow.

[Shsm]

Rest in peace. They're in a much better place.

I just started my first day as an apprentice machinist fixing armoured fighting vehicles and the whole shop floor went quiet and I asked what was going on and was told.
A tragic waste of life

I remember that day like it was yesterday. Scariest day of my life! Heart still goes out to those who lost someone and may their loved ones RIP.

Just thinking of many of those fd (men and woman) who knew the towers were on fire and could collapse at any time and they still went rushing in to save our fellow men.and woman. Words can't describe s human being who would literary lay down there life for a stranger.

That's the crazy part we run in while everyone else is running out. They are very brave if even they knew it was coming down I think They would have done it. Crazy I know but that's just what we do.

We are suppose to lay out lives down at a moments notice. Police too that day. We never know when the time will be.

I re-read this and I sound arrogant that wasn't my intentions. Sorry of it sounds that way.

After watching videos of the entire event on PBS and other stations, there were so many errors in judgement made that sad day that could have saved so many more lives. Like managers in the buildings telling their staff it was safe to go back to work instead of having everyone safely exit the buildings while they could have been saved. And if only everyone , firemen and policemen had known, as well as the building designer on staff were made aware that not only one but two fully fueled 767's had plowed into those structures, they too could have made informed calls to evacuate the buildings in time to save so many more lives. but the thinking at the time was that maybe just a private plane had hit the towers at first until the second plane was caught on film. Then we all knew it was terrorism. But to those who plowed right on up those stairs to save lives in spite of losing their own, to do so without even thinking of their own lives. Well that's what heroes are all about and everyone that fateful day was a hero that we should always honor! I'm still pissed at those terrorists and their followers that linger over in Afghanistan. Makes one want to just drop an A-Bomb over there turning all that sand into a big glass skating rink. But cooler heads prevail and besides many more over there had nothing at all to do with this tragedy.That and the fact that we are a nation of laws, morals, and freedom and democracy that we so cherish and want to promote to the rest of the world. And it's hard to justify killing everyone because of the few bad ones. Although those few bad ones would do the same to us if given the chance and opportunity.But that's what separates Us from them.....

R.I.P. brave souls! I was sleeping when a friend from work called and said turn on the tv. I did intime to see the second plane crash. As soon as war was declared I told the wife I was going back in the Corps. She made it clear that she was not going through it again (was in during first Gulf War). This time I listened...still wish I would have gone cause there is still a fire in my belly!
