RIP to those who lost their lives on what was such a tragic day. Was back in my school days (year 11 at the time) & hadn't heard anything until late that afternoon, got home switched on the tv and there it was the events of what had been happening replaying over and over again. A day that will certainly never be forgotten that's for sure.

i was at school when the attacks happened all i remember is my mum telling me when i got in... everyone was fixated on the tv.. i was there when the towers collapsed..

in october last year i visited New York and it was hard to see the gapping hole which thousands of people died in.. i could still see people excavating the ruins... i couldnt believe that some chineese tourists were taking pictures with there thumbs up.. i felt like punching them

construction of the new tower is underway now.. they are calling the new world trade centre the 'freedom tower' it is to be built one floor higher to show the terrorists that we wont let them win...

R.I.P for all lifes lost on 9/11/01

artists impression of the freedom tower..

I cant believe the nerve of those chinese peopel putting thumbs up for cameras near where all those people died :bawling:. That makes me so angry!!!!!!! :mad:. Do they not have any respect for the dead???.

That new tower looks well cool. I hope its built and shows all those terriorts that America isnt scared of them.

sadly Amy some people enjoy the sadness of others and of places.

A friend of mine has been to ground zero and said it was the saddest place she had ever been, this was more than 2 years ago.

to be honest with you OK alot of people died

but get over it is wot i say to the Americans that make a big deal out of it every year

we dont do this on 7/7 half of the people i know dont even know what it stands for

My Mum went to New York in 2002 i think in October, they were still clearing up then, its a huge loss for people who lost there loved ones and Ameria and the whole world really but its good how they are are making a new tower to show they won't be beaten, i also think theres a big memorial on Ground Zero aswell.

Theres a Freedom Tower already made at San Diego Legoland :O Wow Sorry that was random :(

I went to the actual place in April 2004 and they were still clearing up!

On the actual day of 9/11 I had gone to meet my bloke from work as he had an early finish, I was in his work's canteen and they had the news on when I found out.

On 7/7 I had turned on the TV to watch This Morning but all I saw was news of what had happened, on that day my bloke came home later than what I'd expected as he'd gone to get us some chips, and I was crying cos I thought there might have been other bombings in our area and scared something might have happened to him. He had no idea about the 7/7 bombings until I told him!

on 9/11

i was in primary school and from the window of my classroom we could see 2 men digging a whole and it looked like they were burying something so we got the head teacher to ring up the police but they obviously couldn't come and then it turn out that they were just fixing a stone wall
