Was at the top on 11th Aug. sat at home a month later watching in utter disbelief and shock at the unfolding horror.
I can still vivdly remember looking out of the windows from the top and shuddering at the thought of what it would be like to fall out.
Watching those poor souls falling / jumping a month later was beyond sickening.
I still think they should have rebuilt them, but a bit taller.
They are rebuilding a single tower iirc

Actually they are building several new towers, some of which will be taller than the old trade centre towers. I saw the construction site when I visited New York in Nov 2009, and they were making good progress.

I think there is a program on Discovery on Monday about the rebuild project.  :y

Glad to hear it. :y...............Istr that H21 and I were there on the same day, which is a strange coincidence, considering we knew nothing of each other at the time. :-/

Would need to check back (if I can find the paperwork) but certainly in that area....  ;)

yep,10 years have flew by.
im going on holiday on the 11th sept, and as i hate flying at any time i will be kaking myself that day- even though i know the chances of anything happening on that particular day are miniscule if not non existant...still it will be right there at the front of my thoughts! :-/
i wonder if the airlines find this day to be any quieter? do you think people would avoid it if possible?

Me too  :o

Didn't to the towers that time as had done them on a couple of previous visits. Was only there for a day on a stopever on the way home - "we'll do them again next time" - little did we know ....

At the time it happened, I was doing some electrical work in a local bar.
I'd just sat down to a coffee and was watching the sky news pictures of the first plane to hit.
The comentator was talking about how this accident could happen ..................... then the second plane hit  :o :o

Then my arse begain to twitch.

A friend of mine in the trade was touring the USA at the time of this.
He was in Florida at the time.
He was going to be flying up to New York that day but Jill ( his wife ) felt crap so they put it back for a day.


I remember 1 year after to the hour.

I was sat in the departure lounge at Larnica ( Cyprus ) on the way back home after a holiday.

I have never seen so many armed police walking around with very nervous looks on there faces.

You could have heard a pin drop on the flight home.

The world changed that day  :(
