We are coming up to the anniversary, and I hesiate to use that word as it has the conotations of a celebration. It has been three years, yet I find myself watching a documentary on the massacre of that day on PBS and find myself in tears. Am I the only one who feels this way? And I am still angry, when does it end? If anyone has any answers or any thoughts please post.
And please remember to say a prayer for our fallen coworker's families this week. It is truly a day that changed our lives.
 
I still have insomnia. I can see it all in my mind's eye. I don't think the pain and anger ever goes away. Maybe its not supposed to go away...if it went away, would we then become complacent?
 
It's seems like a lot of people have already forgotten.
 
Yes I think people have forgotten, I firmly believe that evey single flight Attendant, including our furloughee's, should wear their uniforms where ever the go that day. Any when people ask, you tell them.

I know this sounds corny, but I am on vacation and I will wear mine on that day in honour of those crews that lost there lives.
 
It still haunts all of us. This is a day that nobody will ever forget. We lost over 3,000 of our citizens and we can't forget them! I was recently watching the Game Show Network and they have reruns of "Greed" on all the time. The day I happened to watch it they had Captain Charles Burlingame of flight #77 as a contestant on the show. It brought tears to my eyes knowing what had happened to him and everyone on that day.

Skyyggoddess,

Same here. I'm finding time makes it a bit more bearable but not necessarily easier.

After a harsh downward spiral for 1-1/2 years of getting stuck in "why?" I made the conscious decision last 9/11 to not watch any television.

I honestly don't know what I will do this Saturday. Last night, I watched the History Channel shows on The Twin Towers and the 9/11 Commission Report to see how I would react. I handled those better than I thought. It doesn't mean that they were not painful.

I think I may watch selective things because I don't believe we should ever forget those who lost their lives.

You are all in our prayers.

Never forget.
Stay safe, and scream like Hell if something doesn't look right.

We all know they WILL try it again.

Ground that sucker if something looks wrong. Believe me when I say every passenger on that plane will support you, into court if need be. And the press will support you too.


And keep doing what you do.
Get them from A to B safely. A smile from you helps. I hope you get the same in return. It seems any human on a plane now feels stress they never felt before.

My prayers tonight for every airline crew member.

God bless, and take care.
 
No, AAStew, you are not the only one who feels that way. A lot of people feel the same way, does not matter which side of the fence you are on or what airline you worked for at the time.
 
And those of us who live in NYC and saw it happen and breathed the air and mourned our dead .... will always remember......

The crew in those planes could have been you; the pax could have been me, the office building could have been mine, ......

But it happened in our city, our state, our country, to our airplanes and to our fellow citizens. It happpened to all of us!

I get emotional, I am emotional, and I stay emotional - "Never Forget and Never Forgive - Stay Mad and Get Even"
 
Also remember that while not all muslims are terrorists this act was commited entirely by muslims as have 99% of all terrorists acts in the last 25 years. Be vigilant!
 
OSAMA BIN LADEN'S DEPUTY ON TV

So now we've had this new video released from Osama's Chief Deputy, Ayman al-Zawahri. In it, he says that "The defeat of America in Iraq and Afghanistan has become a matter of time, with God's help. The Americans in both countries are between two fires, if they continue they bleed to death and if they withdraw they lose everything." Apparently news must travel slowly to his cave, because our wars in both Iraq and Afghanistan have been an overwhelming success. But why argue with a terrorist.

This should serve as a reminder. Tomorrow is the third anniversary of the attacks on September 11th, in which 3,000 innocent American lives were taken by Islamic terrorists. These were people just like you and me. They got up on September 11, 2001 and went to work. They were sitting in their offices, or flying on an airplane or sitting at the Pentagon. The thought that a band of Islamic thugs would smash an airplane into their building and end their lives wouldn't have seemed even remotely possible. But it happened. Al-Qaeda has now pledged to acquire a nuclear weapon and set it off, killing millions of Americans. Have people learned the lessons of September 11th?

Since that time, more and more terrorists have been recruited and their hatred of the United States has only intensified. They have been bolstered by a victory in Spain, where they successfully threw the election and put a spineless appeaser in office. Right now, right where you sit, you are a target of Al-Qaeda. These vicious bastards want to kill you and kill your family. We are engaged in a world war, World War IV to be exact, and we cannot afford to lose. The very existence of human civilization is at stake.

As you go to the polls in 53 days, you have a choice to make. A choice to continue to fight back and stand up against the child killers, or a choice to appease them. The stakes have never been higher.

Is that really that simple? Did they only kill children? It time to take back America and stop this unilateral aggression of some baby boy who want to show his daddy he could finish the job in Iraq. Iraq which had ZERO to do with 9/11 or ant terrorism in this country.

You are right the stakes are high. As long as we allow a Texas cowboy playing like he is taming the far east with our Fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters, sons and daughters, the aggression and hatred of the USA will continue. The death toll will mount. Our ability to feel safe in our own cities and home will continue to diminish.

Lets take back America, form a global war on terrorism with the world community and not be sole source of attack and aggression. We are the last reaming world power. Time we acted like it, and not the worlds bully.

Spoken like a true left-winger with NO CLUE about the Global War On Terror.

Even former democrat NYC Mayor Koch knows and has stated this is a massive struggle between civilizations and will last for decades. Iraq is just one of many fronts in which we fight the forces of Radical Islam. State sponsor, support, safe-housing of terrorists with global reach must be met there - NOT HERE. Even Russia has woken up after the horrific school attack killing hundreds. These animals even shot children IN THE BACK as they fled for their lives. Putin has stated the official policy of their government is PREEMPTIVE STRIKES against terrorists ANYWHERE in the world.

WAKE UP.
