Been watching Nat Geo interview with G W Bush. I was in Ibiza on day of attack so missed the initial shock. I know it’s an obvious statement, but it has changed our lives for the foreseeable future if not forever...

I was at work and the whole office just stopped, switched the TV News on and sat and watched in disbelief as the horror unfolded.

I'd got 10 tonne of ready mixed, semi dry floor screed to lay. It was being wheeled in by 4 labourers....steam coming off my back ...I had no thoughts on the news coming from the radio

Isolated on the beaches, my only concern was that the NY DJ David Morales wasn’t going to be playing Pasha🍒that evening!

I was in Newquay in Cornwall. Heard about the first plane-but it was described as a tourist plane. Only later did we hear it had been 2 passenger planes.

Bush was talking about the massive amount of pressure he found himself under & the absolute shock of the nation, Which is what many leaders of the world got sucked into, including Blair. Seems like an irresistible force...

Seems like an irresistible force... There are tons of videos on youtube many of which I'd never seen before that have surfaced since that day taken by ordinary local people and not just by the main news channels that were covering it, they really are fascinating and horrifying at the same time. Going slightly off topic and staying with the Bush connection to 9/11 there is a video made by I think an ex teacher/historian by the name of Richard Francis Conolly entitled 'JFK to 9/11 Everythings a Rich Mans Trick'..... Now there is some bat shit crazy mental assumptions that he comes up with but I found it absorbing and it certainly makes you think about the bigger picture. Basically its all about the 'American Military Industrial Complex'....... Its on youtube and its a long watch but if your interested about that kind of thing I give it a big thumbs up simply for making you think why are 'We' constantly at war.......

I spent that summer in the US. I went into the ground floor of one of the WTC buildings some time in July, but on the day I was a bit pushed for time and decided not to go up, thinking I could do it when I came back through NYC on my way home. But when I went back the towers weren’t there any more.

9th of November, means I never forget a mate's birthday. My brother’s birthday too. The 9/11 thing though was actually the 11th of September as you Probably know . I had returned from Canada on the 10th and watched the thing unfurl at work. Fucking terrible event and frightening at the time because nobody really knew what was happening and how it would all end.

In my small town in western Washington State there is a chunk of structural steel from one of the Twin Towers in a small memorial. I'll stop by and place some flowers.

My mother was in the World Trade Center. There was a subway station right under the building, and she was there when the plane hit, so she got out. 12 of her co-workers died. Another was horrifically burned all over her body. A high school friend's father was a police officer who died. One of my schoolmates, who was a few years older and at her first job, died.
The biggest "mistake" by the terrorists was to not wait an hour. They hit before 9am. If they had waited until 10am, the fatalities would have at least quadrupled, and my mother could well have been among them.

We have gone from the atrocities of 9/11 and the London bombings and murders in France etc. to now appeasing jihads (allowing back into the country after fighting against our own troops) and muslim rapists in fear of being branded Islamophobic and racist. I call it being a decent human to oppose such vile people.
How did we go from these atrocities to appeasing a cult called Islam is beyond me

Since 9/11 the 'War on Terror' has cost the US 5.6 trillion dollars. 7000 dead and 52000 wounded military personnel. Staggering statistics when you think about it.

Is that including civilian casualties? Lordb...The civilian casualties in the US on 9/11 were approx 3000 if I remember..... Who knows the total number of casualties worldwide since the 'War on Terror' started? It must be in the hundreds of thousands.... or more?? I don't know what to think of it all to be honest...... Is there a bigger picture hmmm.... not sure..... Have you a figure for the total number of civilian deaths? I'd be interested to hear

There are quite a few videos on youtube of a guy called Brian Clark who worked for Eurobrokers on the 84th floor of the 2nd tower to be hit (south tower I believe).....He was one of the last to escape and was very close to the impact of the 2nd plane hitting. Its an amazing story he has of being in the wrong/right place and of fate..... he even had time while all that chaos was going on to rescue someone..... really fascinating story.

I'd be interested to hear I think the US should have avenged the attack on 9/11 by killing 3000 Saudi's and calling it "even". Then focus on running down bin Laden and his happy band of rump rangers. Plus, ignoring Iraq...….but that would be too logical an approach for us Yanks.

i remember i had just started high school and was walking home and a friends mum was in the garden and said about a plane crash in New York
i got home and watched it unfold and the second plane hit and the subsequent collapse of the towers and reports of other hijacked planes
the next day we were called into an unplanned assembly and spoken to by our old headmaster about it all, that only happened 4 times in the 7 years i spent there, 9/11 and 3 lads in my year who killed themselves
scary times and the beginning of a terrible age for mankind

There was a documentary on Sky last night called "Raising Ground Zero" about the rebuilding of the WTC and the surrounding buildings and homes that were damaged. There was an interview with one man who explained that after the disaster he was working at Ground Zero virtually every day and that he had been diagnosed with a terminal illness and had only seven years to live. The documentary was first shown in 2011.

Many Islamic countries adopted the star and crescent moon on their flags. What they didn't realise is the symbol on their flag represents the Biblical quote from John 3:30 - “He must increase, but I must decrease,” spoken by John the Baptist about Jesus. Here, the waning crescent moon stands for John, and the bright star stands for Jesus.
