9/11: Day That Changed the World airs on ITV1 tonight at 9pm, should be interesting. Features interviews with all of the key decision makers.

Very true, I was only 9 at the time but as I watched it with my Parents and Brothers it unfurled like a horror story.

Tragic but nothing compared to the 920,000 people murdered in Iraq and Afghanistan in response to it.

920,000(that's not an accurate number, but i don't give a **** enuf to argue right now) were kille by the same al quedaa an taliban that cause 9/11.

The terrorists kille those people just like they kille the inocents on 9/11, so get yur facts right.

no other country has spent more time an money to protect civilian lives than America has. No other country in the HISTORY of warfare has spent more time an care to protect the innocents. How many hospitals did the british build for the germans during ww2? How many schools did you build for them? How many roads? All of the innocents died, these wars were started by because of the terrorists, not America.

how dare you imply otherwise.

Tell that to the Vietnemse innocents that the Americans killed in their attempts to control communism and 'contain' a civil war when America decided to 'just chose a side'.

No other country since the start of last century has the highest number of civilain coolateral damage. Or Blue on blue incidents (you call them friendly fire, when rounds start zipping around your ass they are far from friendly even when fired by allies).

Would recommend you read up on an unbiaised WW2 history, the US didnt want to involve itself in reparations or any other form of civil assistance after WW2 initially.

There were lots of schools, hospitals and churches etc built and rebuilt or simply funded by the British after WW2, you see we were at a slight disadvantage, we had held germany off for a few years before the US decided to join the party, during which time we took the brunt of the German War machine.

How many bombs fell on the US mainland during ww2, I dont mean own goals either but dropped by enemy forces?

You were late turning up for the party in France and Belgium (WW1) too. Bad form that.

No other country has RECORdEd the numbers like America. Obviously there were more friendly fires in other wars, they just weren't counted. any intelligent person would agree.

If you count them all, tell me how many friendly fires is britain guilty of in history??? you don't know because they weren't counted.

Not a lot because even now the US are adopting British Small unit tactics which reduce the number of blue on blue incidents. For example correct positioning of support fire teams, Unit fire control, decent FAC. and a lot of other improvements.

The UK forces may only be small but we are a lot better than most countries, aftr all when you care enough to send the very best.

Just came across this on YT. I'm in one of those moods where I view random stuff like tsunamis, volcanos etc.



Its nowhere near as long as the other ones tend to be, but quite interesting.

Very interesting and very suspicious. I don't like to look much into things like 9/11 because there are so many stories and conspiracies that need to be looked at before you can come to a complete conclusion about what you feel and I just don't have the time for that, but this has made me think a lot tonight.

Was going to try and rent the film United 93 to watch, read a lot of extremely positive reviews on it but it appears that it's being shown tomorrow at 11pm on ITV1. Anyone seen it?

It's a very good film, in my opinion. I think it handles the whole thing really well.

Seen so many films and documentories now about it I don't know which is called what

The one that makes me sick is about that woman who pretended she'd been there yet never was. Sick beyond belief

And "The Falling Man" is heartbreaking. Well, they all are but what a gut wrencher

I saved the newspapers from that day. The falling man was on the front. I looked at the papers the other day and felt so sad I remember watching it all unfold. My toddler laid beside me yet watching peoples lives be destroyed.

I'll never, ever, forget it
