how can it be .....
« on: 01 September 2011, 21:08:06 »
 ..... 10 years since '911' (which in English is 11th Sep  ;))
On ITV is a programme  - The Day That Changed the World about the terrorist attacks. It seems 5 minutes ago since I watched the telly dubstruck at what I was watching  :-? :-? :-?

I had just finished a long days shooting at Bisley Ranges in Surrey and watched it unfold on telly with loads of other Police and military types.  And a few short weeks after I and other leaders had taken 30 or so Scouts on a visit there.

Spooky, and don't time half fly....   :(

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.

11 Sep is my birthday .. and that was my 50th ... I had booked a day off work to do little, and then a family meal out that evening.

Ended up glued to the box all day and we didn't go out that night .. just didn't seem right.  :(

I remember the day well and how it developed..... :( :(

I must admit, at more that one point that day, I thought that this was going to be the 'end'.....

No way does it feel like 10 years ago, how time passes so quickly.... :o :o :o
