This is to memorize those who did not made it that day, the 343 FDNY firefighter, the 23 NYPD officers the 37 PAPD officers and the 15 EMT's who gave there lives, and every one else who lost his or her live that day.

May we never forget them and let this, never happen again.

A salute to all those who expirenced and/or paid the ultimate price for their country.

Honor the victims and never forget this tragedy. May it never happen again.



Found this video; doesn't seem to be a bad tribute.

Everyone remember where you were when it happened?

I was watchin' blues clues or at school and ended up watchin the TV and seeing this. I didn't know what it was so I got bored and changed the channel.(I was like 5 or 6)

I was in Wisconsin, or on my way there. My parents said it was so wierd on the way back, 0 planes in the sky.

I was in school, and every 5 minutes someone from the office would call a classroom to tell a kid that their parents would pick them up early. We thought it was funny, until I found out on the news the next day that there was a terrorist attack. My dad was at a conference in Arlington and heard the explosion of American Airlines 77.

I was on school, and when I came back home my parent's were watching TV, I joined, not aware of what was happening. I didn't really know what to do with it at that moment.

I was there when it happened. My mom and I were in New York for about to try and get her a job when it happened. At the time I was on Worth street, about ten blocks away, and when I saw it, I just stood slack jawed at the sky, and my mom burried her face in my side. It is the worst experiance I've ever witnessed ever.

Never forget.

Wow, I just watched something on it, it showed people jumping from the building, I'd hate to have been there.

There was a lot of sick shit that happened, at one point I think I saw someone on fire jump out of the building.

911 is my uncle's birthday. Very sad day to celebrate though.

I watched a 9/11 Memorial CNN video in class today. I'm gona be watching 9/11 stuff all day 2morrow on the history channel.

Read this guys.

That's a very touching story. Thanks for shering that with us.

I'll admit that I cried.

I'm kinda trying to hold back tears. That's sad but beautiful.

Just watched a timeline show about the events on 9/11 on Fox News with my father. It's hard to see it all again, especially hard for my father because he was in the city on 9/11/01. He arrived at the World Trade Center PATH Station just minutes after the first plane hit.

That story was very sad. What's really sad is that 9/11 movie that was made. It was so sad at the end. BTW, as far as I remember, the Trade Centers didn't have sprinkler systems. Those could've changed the entire outcome. They could've been still standing.

If you want, I will send you guys a tribute I made to your phone. Anyways, I was at my grandma's.

I sadly don't think that would've helped too much. It would have stood a lot longer but superheated jet fuel that's thousands of degrees would still break down the metal. I wish it would've had super sprinklers so this wouldn't happen.

The building burned at tempatures of 2,000 degrees F

I'm going into New York City tonight to see the light beams. I'll share the pictures with you guys. If you have never seen them before, they are so cool, If you're in the area, I'd highly recommend seeing them.

I'm too far away. Can you show me some the pics when you get them? Can't wait to see!

The hardest video for me to watch is an about 2:30 minute video of 19 Firefighters from FDNY squad 288 Queens arriving. In the backround you see the rigs, and the firefighters walkinkg straight towards the camera. As they grow closer you see each one of there faces, then they walk past the camera. It pans out and you see all of them walking as a group towards the trade center. All 19 firefighters died sadly, each time I see it, I dont want the frame to stay focused on there faces and not end.

i think i saw that today, the only thing ive been watching all day was 9/11 stuff on the history channel.

Where did you see that Bridwell?

Does anybody know if it's possible to share a video on Facebook without people seeing my Facebook account? I've got a nice video from last night of 10 House going on a job, but I only uploaded to Facebook, and I'd rather not share my Facebook with people I don't know.

By the way, I also went to see the light beams, they are so cool. I can't even compare them to anything I've seen before. They go up so high, I could still see them hitting the clouds from my hometown in New Jersey. I'll get some pictures to you guys later. Here's a fact if you didn't already know this: The light beams aren't actually at World Trade Center, they are 4 or 5 blocks away, on top of a parking garage by the Battery Tunnel.

Really?!! Couldn't notice unless you get close. Also, I thought they took those down. Also, can I please see the vid? I love 10 house!

May Freedom Tower stand tall when it is completed. Let us hope this horrible event shall never happen again. History does repeat itself, but not of this severity.

We can only hope, they just have to get lucky once, we have to be lucky all the time.

All of you here have heard about the Heros killed in the attacks but im guessing most of you don't know that those numbers aren't accurate. To this day there are Hundreds of Firefighters, EMS personnel and police officers who are still sick to this day or dying a result of climbing through the rubble for months after 9/11 looking for survivors and assisting the recovery of bodies. So when every you think about the 343, 24 or 37 Think about the others that have passed away as a result of attacks, Think about the people that lost a Father, Son, Daughter, Mother, Brother or Sister. When you really think about it the 343/24/37 really are sadly just the beginning.

That's the thing, I remember watching an interview with a doctor on CNN a week after 911 and he was talking about the asbestos in the air, and how simple it is to get cancer from one particle of that. It hooks in like a fishhook and grows. Sadly no one noticed that it seems, and the thousands of citizens as well as rescue workers are still dying today because no one picked up on it, and they have to fight to get medical help for it.

ah and my favorite guiliani interviw....

I was on duty that day, we went on tactical alert in LA and NOBODY was allowed to leave obviously, We had word that there was a plane headed for Los Angeles so my house was bumped to cover other houses that were bumped to cover units that went on patrol, yada yada yada, long and sad day. Still cant believe it happened.

RIP 343!!

so did anyone here of this yet....

I can see both sides of this on one side it's stupid they had to jump through any hoops at all however on the other side...well okay I only see one side it's sorta stupid especially considering any first responder had a back ground check before they joined a department anyway...
