I'm posting this not to offend anyone. We've grown to accustomed to the "sanitized" version of events that happened that day 10 years ago; I think the "hard facts" need to be known and we need to reminded of the horror of that day 10 years ago. http://www.esquire.com/features/ESQ0903-SEP_FALLINGMAN Never Forget!!

i saw a documentary yesterday that i saw many years ago. i had to do with a ladder co in newyork that had there command post set up in the north tower. the whole time they were in side you could here very loud crashing noises. it took them a little while to figure it out. it was the bodies of people jumping hitting covered walkways around the building. I cant imagine the hell that makes you chose jumping as a better option, but i know i am not going to burn if there is another way. I believe we all need to remember the hell that was 9-11.

Part of the reason why I am trying to become a USAF reservist. Never forget.

I watched that same gritty documentary... brought me to tears more than once. Over the course of the day, I had seen about all the original footage. I remember 9-11-01 sitting n front of the TV in stunned disbelief. It is very hard to understand that kind of hatred of a stranger going simply about their lives. It seems a throw back to Medievial Times or earlier... where all the world's religions attempted to convert the world by force. But those who would preach this must be on some power trip. Sadly our innocence can never be restored.

i was tuly impressed both times i saw that documentary at how those firefighters handled themselves during the entire ordeal. extrordinarily cool calm and profesional even when the south tower collapsed and they were stil in the north tower lobby. truly remarkable men.
