Let us never forget 9/11/01 Options

It was a sad day to everyone and I hope we can remember it forever. Jim lost his cousin that he was very close to she was pregnant and worked in the WTC. I think its a good time to share stories and videos and remember this day together.

I know people say they never forgot what they were doing at that moment so even sharing that moment with us would be really sweet.

my dad was a fdny for 20 years, he knew 10 guys from his fire house who died. Really sad part was his lieutenant who died in 9-11 was suppose to retire the next day, it was his last day on the job. If my dad didn't decide to retire in 1999 when he did, he would have been in there and would have most likely died. God bless all who died and helped in 9-11. We went and visited the site that january after it happened, i remember walking up to it and they wouldn't let anyone in and there were big white roll away gates block it. my dad just flashed his badge and we all went it. I was surprised to find that there was actually a fire house located right next to it. We went in and you wouldn't believe all the donations that were there, there a 6ft by 6ft box of oreos and ritz crackers i kid you not. we then went onto the roof which was a sub level off the sleeping quarters which went up next to where we were another 3-4 stores. We had to wear hard hats because they were cleaning out the buildings, sweeping out the debris from the towers and big chunks of metal and cement would fall around us. The front had a big metal statue with flags and candles. It was very depressing. If i can get my scanner to work ill scan the pictures we took and post them up here. I was in 6th grade so I look weird but w.e. My aunt was also a few buildings down she said it was chaos when it fell, she took shelter in the subway i believe i never really asked her but she said you couldn't see 2 ft infront of you and it was extremely hard to breathe.
