I know this is a new wave board but I have gotten to know alot of you and your pretty good people. Some of you are even from the New York area. So I just want to say that on this Saturday, we should remember that day and all those that died.
With that out of the way, I can say having lived through it, I am very glad that we are all here on this board talking to eachother, and making a few freinds, thats what it's all about![:D]

Yeah, the craziest day ever. Still can't believe that happened here and so afraid it will happen again. I do agree with Phil that it's great to talk to everyone on this chatboard. This is by the far the best chatboard I've ever been on. Everyone is re

I will have my moment of silence on Saturday. It still shocks me when I think of that day. I almost lost my cousin Christy that day. She worked in the Trade Towers and was late getting to work. She arrived just in time to see the plane crash into her b

My wife was 3 months pregnant at the time and she just changed jobs. She would have been in that building but she just moved next door. We lost contact for the whole day. I was not sure if she was dead or not. As for me I had a full schedual of elderly pe

Like many of us on this board, I find my solace in music. I will spend some quiet time Saturday on a listen-through of the Mozart Requiem, and I would warmly recommend it as an aid to thought and remembrance.

What can you say? I live in California and felt my spirit crush that day. I watched tv reports for about 24 hours straight that day. I remember looking in the sky for the days after a not seeing a single plane. It was a strange, strange time.

Since I was 4 years old and first saw Monty Python I have been an Anglophile. I finally got my chance to go to England 3 years ago. I landed at Heathrow Airport 7:30am London time, which would have been 1:30am Central US time. Oh yeah, the date was Sep

The 2 planes that hit the Twin Towers on 9/11 left here from Boston & Beantown will always have that unfortunate fact to bear whenever 9/11 is discussed. New York suffered greatly, but let us not also forget the lives lost & forever changed in Washington

For any Bay Area folks, the annual Power To The Peaceful show takes place this Saturday, Sep. 11th. Michael Franti and Spearhead w/the String Cheese Incident and many others. Very to the left of the political spectrum, but overall a good message and ver

I keep remembering stuff. Not knowing about my wife and friends. Watching the progress of the towers burning.Watching the burnt papers fall from the sky. Seeing my lawn covered in burnt files. We will live with this forever. They also have a very cool tri

Go out and donate some blood if you're able. Blood drives will be everywhere around here this Saturday as I'm sure they will be across the country. C'mon and drop a bag of your red stuff. You get a free cookie!!

My perspective is somewhat different, as a Canadian. I remember watching CNN as the second plane hit, and being overwhelmed with a devastation and sadness. That humans could actually DO something so horrible to each other, all the poor innocent people w

I had just worked a midnight shift, and was lying on the couch that morning waiting for sleep to come. Matt Lauer from the Today Show was going on about some mysterious smoke coming from one of the towers. I fell asleep.

When I woke up, the whole wor

I think 9/11 is probably the most powerful day of our time. Our elders had dates of infamy related to tragedy and unfortunatley we now have ours. It frightens me and at the same time evokes some positive (if there can be any) feelings of how the country p
