And GOD BLESS ALL the families that lost loved ones in that senseless,hateful act.

and the survivors, too. Nothing like the victims and rescuers who lived through that day, but I think we're all survivors of 9-11 in some way. We were all targeted. Surviving and being happy and proud is the most powerful retaliation.

A stupid, senseless act. It affected us in SA and we were absolutely horrified. Thoughts to everyone who lost loved ones.

Walking away from downtown NY that day covered in the dust of a thousand things I saw the horror, shame, and pride of the people of this city. I walked back home across the Williamsburg bridge which was shut down to cars, as were the trains; it was actually crowded with people many of whom were sobbing, but all were looking over their right shoulder at the forever changed topography of lower Manhattan which was billowing smoke. I got home and sat on the couch for hours listening to the radio as the tv antennas were on top of the towers. I realized people that I knew had to be dead and gone. By late afternoon I got out of the house and the wind had changed and the sky had turned this sort of sickly yellow and the stink in the air was acrid and constant. Everyone on the street was walking around in a daze but for a few short days to follow, strangers were saying hello to each other as they walked by.

They knocked our two front teeth down our throat that morning, but we're still standing, and we've got a lot fight left in us. There's no way to win with terrorism if you hold your head high, but the loss of life and the change of the world from that day on is very profound.
