Bob Posted September 11, 2008 Posted September 11, 2008 I remember the day it happened. It was a sad day. I myself live close to NYC so I know some people it affected. One of my friends uncles was a fireman that was there to. He thankfully lived.
VBBN Posted September 11, 2008 Author Posted September 11, 2008 I remember the day it happened. It was a sad day. I myself live close to NYC so I know some people it affected. One of my friends uncles was a fireman that was there to. He thankfully lived. One of my friends at school had actualy been heading towards the airport when that happened. They turned around. And yes, I remember that our school had a lockdown. We didn't go to school for the next few days either...
Patriot720 Posted September 11, 2008 Posted September 11, 2008 I remember this tragic day.. My father's office was destroyed in the Pentagon attack. But, thankfully, He was on a business trip that day and lived.
Scouty Posted September 11, 2008 Posted September 11, 2008 What a terrible day for United States citizens and maybe others outside the world, for they might have lost loved ones as well. Sincerity to the affected families. Passenger planes, crashed into the Twin Towers, as well as the Pentagon. And not to forget the fateful Flight 93 that crashed in Pennsylvania
VBBN Posted September 11, 2008 Author Posted September 11, 2008 A yes, United 93. I just watched that movie. It's so sad...
THE-FORCE Posted September 11, 2008 Posted September 11, 2008 I'm so sorry for you May the force be with you.
Faramir Posted September 11, 2008 Posted September 11, 2008 (edited) I just got back from a ceremony in my town. I still remember some of it, I was in second grade, I came home early and told my mom we were sent home because there was a "terrace attack"... aside from that I don't remember much.

Justin2224 Posted September 11, 2008 Posted September 11, 2008 It was a sad day indeed. My father is in the Army and currently stationed in Iraq. Bt luckily he only operates at night. I am sorry for all any of you members who lost a friend or loved one that day or serving since then. I also would like to pay tribute to all of those other, non-Eurobricks members, who lost their lives or loved one. I am also thankful that we have soldiers defending the US.
Trexxen Posted September 12, 2008 Posted September 12, 2008 On this day we cast aside political, social, and geological differences for the knowledge that we are all united as one people, one nation, one world. And though many sick, horrible people try to take that unity from us, we come back stronger. And though many lives were lost that day, we know that they died not in vain, but in sacrifice for the country that bore them, nurtured them, and sheltered them. The EMTs there died not in vain, for they were saviors to many, but sadly in many cases were too late for themselves. And for those of us who are alive, on this day we unite, for one world. There are no nations, no political parties, no classes. Today, there are only human beings, as prone to sadness, despair, and pain as any other. God bless Eurobricks. God bless America. God bless us all. ~Trexxen
Norrington Posted September 12, 2008 Posted September 12, 2008 On this day we cast aside political, social, and geological differences for the knowledge that we are all united as one people, one nation, one world. Not to get political in a solemn thread, but it is not entirely so. At my school, even some teachers are attempting to endorse a certain US presidential candidate based on 9/11, among other issues. I want to say, that I barely remember the day, but it does not decrease the impact of the attack. I hear stories even in my own school about people who were going to get on the flights that crashed into the WTC, but at the last minute had to have their flight changed for other reasons. Remember, but don't have fear.
Sandy Posted September 12, 2008 Posted September 12, 2008 (edited) Removed text because politics isn't allowed to be discussed here, and I can't help but being political about this issue. Edited September 12, 2008 by Sandy
Captain Green Hair Posted September 12, 2008 Posted September 12, 2008 That was a sad day indeed.. The things that happened after that are even more sad and it's a shame nobody knows for sure yet who did the attacks... Anyway my thoughts went out to those who let their lives while doing their jobs, may you rest in peace.
snefroe Posted September 12, 2008 Posted September 12, 2008 well it was a weird day, that's for sure... i remember i was listening to the radio when i was working at university, when the reporter suddenly said a sports plane had crashed into the WTC-tower... at that point i just thought "what a moron". it was only an hour later or so that everybody started to grasp the entirety of what had happened... After that, i only had one word for it all: "surreal"... however, i agree with Sandy. the political perspective of this story is very important, so i'll shut up now too...
-JD- Posted September 12, 2008 Posted September 12, 2008 We were talking about this in RS today. I was 8 when it happened, and I still remember it. I was worried sick about people in the towers, as I did'nt know what had actually happened. I cried when I saw the pictures and film....but anyway. Rest in peace and God bless people affected by this tragedy. J
Manta Posted September 12, 2008 Posted September 12, 2008 Thank you for posting this VBBN, this event deserves a moment of silence from the community, because many of us are from the United States. I remember this sad day, and I feel sorry for the people in the numerous places that were attacked.
KimT Posted September 12, 2008 Posted September 12, 2008 Sorry to say I find this - not related to LEGO and not related to EB. If we were to have atopic for each sad thing that has happened around the world, then we'd drown. What about Madrid? What about the actions of the RAF? What about 1864 and Dybbøl Mølle? This is closed as we've closed it before and before and....
