Looking for photos

Do you agree that this type of emotion is a reason
to buy into the conspiracy theories - unprocessed
emotions combined with the disbelieve that this could
be happen in America? (In some cases plus distrust)

No. Quite the contrary. The reality is that it did happen as is all too sadly recorded many times over. It is only by dint of circumstance and other forces that this particular atrocity happened in the USA. Others happened in Madrid, and Beslan, etc - not of the same scale, certainly, but equally deplorable.

I think the difference between the CTers and non-CTers is that the former are still trying to see 9/11 through the rose-tinted and foggy glasses of extreme selfishness and inability to accept reality, whereas we see it clearly in the light of day as it really is.

However that doesn't make any of this any less tragic for us, and I suspect it makes it even more so. And more driven to find out what REALLY caused it, and how these people REALLY died - to honour their memory, not besmirch it.

Yes it is. There was similar bowing observed at WTC1. ( there's nothing "ignorant" about your question, btw)

Thanks. I thought it was, but I didn't realised the bowing of the columns was so pronounced - that's what, 20+ degrees of bending?

Even watching it years later, its just beyond comprehension.

I totally agree.

Everytime I watch a video of those fateful events, I always get a feeling of awe (not Awe, but I can't think of a better word to describe it) when the plane hits the building. I get similar feelings when I see photos like the Edna Cintron photo and 'The Falling man'.

The most striking video for me was the video of the plane hitting WTC2. The view was facing the face of the building that the plane would hit (or the opposite face, I can't remember) and it shows the plane not just hitting the building, but actually turning in to hit it. It gets me every time.

Sorry if this post comes across a little selfish, but on Sept 11 2001, Sydney was readying to relight the torch for the 1st anniversary of the Olympics.

We were very proud of what we achieved those 12 months before - We embraced the world, showed them we all could really get along no matter what colour creed or culture we might be, and have a bucket load of fun doing it. We really honestly thought we had made a difference.

To this day I have never watched any 911 memorials on TV - Not through disrespect for the victims, or a nation trying to heal. Instead I watch my highlights package of those Olympics.

Why? Quite simply I refuse to give up on humanity. Those images of those people reduce me to tears, and does the same for many others gauging from the responses to this thread.

Quiet simply I wont allow those mongrels who perperated that day drag me into that black pit they dwell in

Any way thats about that ***click*** rant mode off
