9-11 Memorial Thread

Yoda
Tomorrow marks the 10th anniversary of the most horrific single attack on the United States and humankind.

That attack ended more than 3,000 lives and changed all others for all time.

A prayer:

Please God, protect our troops and countrymen around the world, especially those in war-torn and otherwise divisive lands, today and every day. Please God, bless America, its citizens, and all others who would know You.

Amen.

Post your own thoughts and prayers here.

Was about 1.5 miles from where it all happened, when it happened. Had a hard time actually believing what I was seeing. My most vivid memory was the non stop sound of sirens, both ambulance and rescue, for hours.For those that know the West Side Highway in NYC, it was backed up for miles, for days with ambulances waiting for the rescue that never happened.

Most of my students were between 5 and 8 when it happened. I have been showing the film "World Trade Center" as an introduction for Business and Technology 1. What is technology? Is it good or evil or neutral? What is business? Why would people choose to destroy themselves and other people and businesses instead of freely trade with us and prosper with their relatives and friends? I meant to show it for two days and the students have requested it daily for two weeks! "

"Flight 93" is next under the enrichment activity of Web Design and helping First Responders. My inner city students have lots of questions!
