I have some freinds in NYC and you can tell that today means so much to them.
I can't believe it's 8 years already, only seems like yesterday.
RIP

RIP, was watching some footage on this earlier this morning and even eight years on it still shocks and transfixes me in equal measure.

One thing about that day that I have never seen reported or discussed. My internet was down all morning which was very unusual, certainly it was unusual to be down for a few hours.

Maybe just coincidence, maybe not

Are there any recent pics or websites showing what they've done with the site and how it looks now?

RIP, sad to say this is why our troops are in Afghanistan, let's try not to forget that. The conviction of three more would be murderers this week should remind us.

Was one of the most shocking and horrifying days of my life.

RIP one and all.

 

[The Wizard]

Will remember the day for the rest of my life.

Rest in peace.

Sky + the documentary on channel 4 and watched it last night.
I know there was an earlier thread about the above but it is
compelling viewing. Was transfixed for 2 hours.
I am sure all that have seen it cannot failed to have been moved
by the total horror of it all

[Stoo82]

A day which I will never forget. Proof that true evil exists and must be crushed. The 8 years have gone so quikly.

RIP all the dead.

Burn in hell those responible.

RIP to all the victims.

As an aside, I was flying home from Jersey that day. It was very weird to see luggage that had left Gatwick earlier in the day returning to reclaim after the flights were turned back.

Even weirder the next day. I was back at Gatwick waiting for a flight for work when an elderly lady asked if I would look after her luggage for her. I tried to remain polite!

RIP the 2,996.

I found this website for the victims and a page devoted to Robert Eaton.
