The anniversary of the attacks on 9-11 presents a day to reflect, remember and pay tribute to those we lost. I am sure most of us remember exactly where we were at the moment when we found out our nation was under attack. Our nation was forever changed by those moments on September 11th, 2001.
Perhaps we can share our memories together as we think about the anniversary of this date.
Where were you on that day? And what memories are most vivid for you?
~ The Better Option ~
He stared toward a cloudless sky; a tear was present in his eye.
What did he see I wondered aloud – this man of strength did not look proud.
Transfixed we watched through a camera’s lens, strangers before, now oddly friends.
What are his eyes held witness to? What’s stirring such tears of painful hue?
Electronically we were connected, our lives attached, a stopped nation affected.
What horror was there, upon his gaze? – What caused such pain amid the haze?
Some sounds not known were heard aloud – and people screamed amid the crowd.
We struggled to sense what view they saw; the fireman’s face was present more.
His sorrowed eyes bleeding despair – my God, what was he seeing there?
I could not move, we stood transfixed, my view of hell would soon be nixed.
He bore my witness through those flames, this hell on earth from terror planes.
Our Eagle screamed….. the metal cracked; two once proud towers stood attacked.
The human toll still yet unknown, our feeling safe was overthrown.
Finally, as I stared, I recognized….. what was causing those tears in that fireman’s eyes.
Oh – My – God, humanity was being lost – and helplessly we saw the cost.
The sound of people,… people, jumping down, from towers strong in our New York town.
Locked in horror, frozen, all there stood – bewildered eyes saw nothing good.
We viewed a scene of great despair…amid evil, smoke, and hate filled air.
Connected witness we became, to terror’s rage and human pain.
Trapped atop a blinding heat, were once moms and dads upon the street.
A “better option“?… caused by hate – to leap the flames and own your fate.
More horrid thoughts we’d never known, not from before the glass had blown.
Theirs was not an option for the stair, their only choice hands locked in prayer.
I cannot grasp the thoughts that crossed – the minds of those loved, soon to be lost.
As victims now…. their life soon ceased, a hurling body – soul released.
and for those who bore witness, my God the pain; those memories seared will long remain.
Connected all we stood aghast, all witness to the terror blast.
Their bodies torn; their spirit lost; memories now……. a priceless cost.
But what we have now to decide; reflecting on this place they died.
The Blood-soaked ground, the empty skies, our throat in knots, our tear-filled eyes.
A memory now so deeply burned, their sacrifice for us was learned.
The hurt, the pain, the bitter sorrow, must guide us now toward tomorrow.
For those we loved, and families lost, no gold of man can count the cost.
Through the eagles’ tears our nations price, we must honor those of sacrifice.
How do we honor such courage bold and warm our souls despite the cold.
A daunting charge ‘mid our mortal stage – to reflect that courage amid our rage.
Two decades past and now we find – our hearts, our souls, our tears, our mind.
Still harken back and feel those tears; the wound -the scar- through many years.
Memories honored must remain, our task in life to cherish that pain…
For souls we lost, and sorrow bound – we must always respect such hallowed ground.
~Sundance
As a military contractor, I was briefing the Director of Training on the E Ring in the Pentagon facing the fireball. All I remember was the DOT yelling, “Get out.” The hallway was dark because the light fixtures had fallen on the floor. Someone was screaming. I followed the crowd to the A Ring and then to the Center Court.
A wonderfully kind Navy officer gave me a coin at the pay phone in Pentagon City. The phone lines were jammed locally so I couldn’t get through to my husband, but I was able to call my mother collect in AL. She declined my 1st call but accepted the 2nd one. She called my husband and a few hours we were reunited.
I always remember how beautiful the weather was that day when such evil occurred and how God blessed me by sparing my life. Never forget!
Ah yes, the Pentagon. Hit by a commercial airliner without wings. Terrible thing.
Exactly. 1000 cameras on the place, they release a blur….
No wings. No fan blades. No wheel assembly’s. All made of titanium. It doesn’t melt.
No video to show an actual plane?
The hole was a perfectly matched size of a cruise missile though. Imagine that!
In Penn….A field with mulched up dirt. Again, no discernable aircraft parts. No engines. Blades. Wheels….but a plane crashed there? Riiiiight.
This entire day, is nothing but a psyop and a lie.
So, the aircraft that purportedly flew into the building just landed somewhere, unaccounted for, and everyone onboard disappeared without a trace? The phone calls from passengers on the a/c were all AI generated (that technology was hidden also)?
Break down the problem space
what kind of warhead was on the missile
what is the characteristic residue of the warhead type
what is the characteristic trajectory and impact physics of the missile
where was the missile launched from and what was its flight time
what guidance system was used
what was the electronic and physical signature of the missile
does the damage correlate to a single warhead strike
is there any audio evidence
what about witness interviews
There are photos, btw, of American Airlines a/c components. Not all have been released however. These, admittedly, have been hard to find in public sources.

OMG, not this crap again! 🙄
That’s the only real problem I have being “MAGA”. It joins me at the hip with populists, some newly political, some prior “Ron Paul” or Buchanan supporters, who emotionally and uncritically support ANY conspiracy theory, against their newly declared, so-called GOP, conservatives. Trump’s tenure has greatly enlightened to the evil of the GOP, but I’m not buying every freakin’ previous left-wing theory smearing everything the GOP did for 30 years.
If the words could have or actually have come out of the mouths of Commie, hard-left Democrats from 2001-onward, I’m not gonna go buy that crap now just because it comes from a “MAGA Patriot”.
It wasn’t a cruise missile, idiot. 9/11 wasn’t a G.W. Bush political stunt to revenge is daddy’s failed 1990 war against Saddam. The twin towers WERE NOT taken down by engineers blowing the tower columns from below. Both evidence and testimony support the historical baseline about 9/11. This crap was exclusively leftist tin-foil stuff before the Ron Paul Bush haters became “MAGA”, and took it mainstream.
There is a huge amount to criticize Bush for in the conduct of the war. (And, personally, I hate that man for many reasons.) However, few making those criticisms would have responded to 9/11 by leading, and taking America to war. That NEEDED to be done. There WERE in fact, “weapons of mass destruction” in Iraq, witness the 100’s of thousands of gas artillery shells. (Al Qaeda was arguably supported and protected by Iraq, but then, they were also supported by a half dozen or dozen other middle Eastern countries, too.) The fact that the effort went off the rails after the Communist US State Department turned it into a “nation building” exercise, is beside the point.
I hate this historical revisionism as much as I hate the lies that the Democrat Communists tell. It’s WHAT THE COMMIES DO. Why would be do the same? That ain’t us.
please explain how a 46 story office tower imploded into itself without being hit by anything
Directed Energy weapons??
Opps, I must have broke a rule. My post was censored. Regrets. Believe what you want to believe.
This certainly IS off topic, one of Sundance’s “no no’s”, but then, who took us off topic? Who deliberately took us off topic.
I hate social media.
You’re doing just fine shipmate.
I’m sure it isn’t you and thank you for your service.
Okay, squid. No go color in your coloring book and listen again to Lee Greenwood singing about how proud to be an American. Truth is its own defense. BTW, would you care to stick your neck out and explain the destruction of Building 7? Asking for a friend.
@Dweezil
The true definition of a “MAGA Populist” (/sarc). A grade school ad hominem is all he’s got.
Yeah, about that explanation, the answer is (a) I already did, in a post that didn’t make it through Sundance’s software, (b) no fact I could present would convince you anyways, and (c) this discussion is off topic. It’s about remember 9/11, yet the conspiracy theory crowd dove right in, and I was baited to respond.
No.
a twenty feet or whatever above the ground hugging jet airliner… those a-rabs really knew how to fly
Was on bus winding its way into Lincoln Tunnel a minute or so after first plane hit. Saw smoke coming from high up WTC building ….called my wife to alert her, as she had planned on driving into Manhattan later that day and I figured it may impact traffic.
Got out of Port Authority and walked the few blocks to my office in Rockefeller Center.
At my desk, called my wife… who had immediately thought it was terrorism and not ‘a small plane’as media was saying….just as the second plane hit. Some of my staff on the other side of the office space (we took up an entire floor) actually saw it hit.
Next hour or so was spent deciding what to do; we ended up telling everyone to leave while they could as subways were being shut down and there would likely be a rush at all exit points out of city. During that time had a brief meeting with a visiting exec who got a call from his wife… telling him her brother was at a meeting at WTC that morning….he ran out immediately.
By 11 or so, I left the office and headed downtown to our daughter’s apartment south of 14th street. As I walked south, saw more and more debris covered vehicles and people headed north. The stench, already noticeable at Rock Center, increased with each block moving South. Had to show ID to walk south of 14th.
Got to apartment to find my daughter with several college friends who lived South of Canal (the area that was evacuated), as they contacted their parents to tell them they were okay.
Decided to stay in the city with my daughter so I could help her and more readily get to office next day. She and I went to roof of the building later that day and watched the smoke rising less than 2 miles away. The stench stayed in the air for days.
When I finally got home a few days later….our neighbor four doors down had still not come home from his WTC/top floor job at Cantor Fitzgerald. His family had mounted a poster of his face and ‘Missing’ on their large bay window.
His name is recited each year at the 911 ceremony.
RIP Bernie.
Never forget.
As a trained structural engineer, I knew at the collapse of the south tower that it was controlled demolition, and began my investigation. In May 2009, I attended Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth DVD premiere in Austin. Overwhelming evidence of controlled demolition, but impossible with thermite. In May 2014, VeteransToday began a Nuclear Education series, by March 2015, i had enough evidence to make public statements with Dr James Fetzer. In 2019, I wrote “Unequivocal 9/11 Nukes” at VT. A reader suggested the Pommer Report, forwarded and posted as “Breathtaking: Solving Nuclear 9/11” with my supplement “Exposing the NIST Jenga Game”
There is only one conclusion, consistent with all evidence.
Thank you for sharing those links.
So much about the passion to retain power is to cover up the crimes and to keep them covered.
I politely disagree that “thermite was impossible.” Not if you had enough of it, and in the right places. A nuclear(!) explosion would have been vastly too-big.
The horrible reality, IMHO, is that someone did arrange to “rig” that entire building. And, it is utterly impossible not to know, from visitor and contractor access logs, how it was done “and yet, concealed from the tenants.”
Plainly: “We” are supposed to believe “one thing.” But, somebody knows better.
There actually aren’t that many companies on this planet who might have possessed the technical skills necessary to do this.
The assertion that “flames from jet fuel,” spectacular though it was, could actually “do that,” is physically impossible. Especially, “a very great distance away from the impact zone.”
The sources of heat had to be very close to the affected metal, and distributed throughout the structure, top to bottom. To take effect at virtually the same time. You simply cannot take “around eight thousand gallons of jet fuel” and make the thermodynamics work. The thermite had to have been distributed throughout the building, and it is not clear if any other types (“visibly explosive …”) of metal-cutting explosives were used – at least in Buildings 1 & 2.
Many thousands of dead people, today, are waiting for someone to finally confront: “how and why they actually died.” This is a crime scene, even all these many years later. And the crime is: “Murder One.”
Agree, thermite seems smore probable than nukes.
1,000% correct, Mike Robinson. 1,000% correct. Cutter charges are clearly visible in many videos. Especially Building 7.
There is video of a thermitic reaction taking place on towers 1 and 2. You see molten metal leaking out….fire cannot do that. Yet so many think that Grade A structural steel can melt by fire. It cannot, that is irrefutable. There have been tests on video, with jet fuel, office furniture, carpet, and everything you would have found in the towers. They let them burn for much longer than the fires that day, and the steel barely moved….
Seen them 100 times.
They ” pulled ” those buildings. All 3 of them.
The structural steel didn’t have to melt. It just had to get hot enough to weaken the perimeter of an entire floor (or more). The unique design of the WTC buildings (not your typical I beam skyscraper) made this more possible. The collapses started at the floors of impact and then the weight of the floors above just crushed the floors below. That’s how I saw it.
Could the buildings have been wired with charges? Maybe, but not necessary IMO. Thermite wouldn’t be necessary, just enough explosives to weaken a floor above ground level.
Not sure I agree with everything you posted. Then again, I am not a structural engineer or EOD type.
There are many ways to break down the problem space. One thing that has always puzzled me is the veritable non-existence of any intelligence from subsequent investigations into the terrorist elements of the attack. There had to be planning. There had to be structural engineers “advising”. There is always a support trail for which there is forensic residual evidence. After the fact, I saw, technically, a component of how the the data was pieced together to identify the terrorists on the various a/c. Can’t speak to who, how, where.
There had to be, in my mind, individuals at Guantanamo who could fill in some of the gaps. Knowledge/forensic gaps. Kinda like Nord Stream pipeline.
What do you think of Dr. Judy Wood’s “Where Did the Towers go?”?
Dr. Wood thinks it was some unknown technology that caused molecular disassociation or dustification. ( Directed Energy Weapons?). They never found one toilet or sink. They found only one file cabinet. Everything hard turned to dust except for every piece of paper.
Nukes would have left radiation, no? And sent debris miles away. These buildings fell in their footprints in 10 seconds .
In any case, to believe the official story, one has to believe that aluminum planes can cut into steel and jet fuel which is kerosene can melt steel.
Jet fuel burns at 1250 degrees f while steel melts at 2700 degrees f. Thus, it is not possible for jet fuel to melt steel.
Finally, no plane flew into Building 7 which “collapsed” later in the afternoon on Sept. 11? If there was no plane what made it “collapse”?
It’s 23 years, let’s stop the pretending.
Building 7 is an enduring mystery — looked it up on YouTube and up came NIST and AP propaganda.
…
…
I spent years reading and listening … watching numerous presentations about dustification.
Too many things make no sense for a plane and jet fuel -alone.
The many vehicles stripped of paint blocks away, but not burnt cannot be explained.
Whole pages of paper amidst all the dust/powder
was inconsistent.
-The Cross standing spoke
Based Prisoner memer.
Her work was sterling! The same DEW were used in Hawaii- so petty by comparison…
I believed the fake official story until 2012. My husband questioned what he was being told from September 11, 2001. He is a mechanical engineer type who went to school in architecture. He built an exact model of the twin towers in the garage to prove his points.
I thought he was a conspiracy theorist. In 2012 I picked up Judy Wood’s book and read the first chapter and my mind was blown. Red pill.
Theramite could have been used. Here is a video (15 minutes) with an engineer using theramate (less powerful than therimate) cutting through steel beams. https://old.bitchute.com/video/xxcri8B4InVa/
I was in my office in Ft Lee, NJ, alone that morning and was just settling in. My son, who was NYPD at the time called to tell me a plane hit one of the Towers. Both of us thinking it was a small private plane.
Went to the conference room to put TV on and the rest – well we all know – From windows in one office you could see smoke filtering North over the Hudson River. Continued to watch the horror unfold the rest of the day.
Weeks latter I would attend funerals – one, a son of a former co-worker, a young Fire Lt with three small daughters. His body was recovered. Another, a Fire Chief, a neighbor with teenage children. His body was never recovered.
Just arrived at work about 20 minutes before the first plane hit the north tower. At first, thought it was a small private plane where the pilot got disoriented, had a medical problem or something else. When the second plane hit 15 or 20 minutes later, we knew something more was going on. The internet was jammed soon after that, so we had to go into the break room to watch the TV. That’s when we realized this was bad, airliners were hijacked and flown into the towers. We were all told to go home later that morning. Traffic was a mess. I will always remember where I was on that day just the same as the JFK assassination (yes, I am old enough to remember that event vividly).
Home on Olympic Peninsula…Hubby working at city of Seattle building next to the Columbia Tower. City sent everyone home..were told that the Columbia building was on the hit list…
Coast Guard escorts the ferry home…Continued for years. No Seattle attack thankfully. Earie that the shies became silent. Planes always circled our farm going into Sea-Tac. Bright blue skies here as well…Changed how we thought of things…That the US is not protected because of the two oceans…learned how to plant and prepare.
We need to remember that this was not a terrorist act by foreign individuals. This was planned and executed by OUR OWN GOVERNMENT in concert with wealthy elites who are US NATIONALS! This had zero to do with Islam, the Middle East, or anybody else. These were private US citizens and government officials perpetrating a hoax to promote war for profit and expand the Military Industrial Complex. If you believe any of the propaganda after all this time, you are a fool and I pity you.
I remember seeing WTC #7 coming down, and knew in that actual moment that any narrative or “official” version of the events of that day, would never be truthful.
My daughter phoned me and asked “What can I do ?”
I said go give blood.
Unfortunately the “something for nothing” crowd of excited leftists has now infested her mind such that she doesn’t call anymore.
C’est la vie
Kids. You can’t beat um
In Hawaii, we were just getting up. My wife was a senior (Navy Capt) officer on the then PACOM (now INDOPACOM) staff. Her secretary always came in early and called from the office to turn on TV. My wife threw on her uniform and made a dash for Camp Smith and was able to get in before everything went into lock-down. Everything was a mess with all the bases closed/secured. Being on the J-6 (comms/command & control) it was all about ensuring continuity of comms.
I was in the field at Ft. Jackson, SC.
It was my final week at basic training, and my platoon were digging foxholes and hasty positions.
A drill sergeant came up to me and told me that a plane flew into a building in NYC.
I thought, “drunk pilot” and went on about my business of digging holes.
When I heard that another plane flew into the WTC and the Pentagon was under attack, I realized
that I was gonna go to war in the near future.
I didn’t see any footage until two days later, when we got back to the barracks.
Crying at work.
Broke a golden rule…
The whole tragedy is so easily recalled, and as gut wrenching, even now.
I know exactly where I was. I was dropping my son off at day care. When I pulled up to the facility the news about the first plane hitting was announced and my first thought was, “There is no way that was an accident.”
When I came out after dropping him off they were announcing a 2nd plane had hit. I sat there and thought, “Sh*t.”
I humbly offer this to Treepers. I did not know the Russians sent us a memorial honoring the memory of those killed at the World Trade Center. It is located at Bayonne NJ.

CK remembers trusting America before learning about the deep state. It was kinda convenient how “they” figured out the perps mere hours after the Twin Towers fell. And how did Building 7 drop at free fall speeds? And have they found that “missing” frame from the Pentagon security camera?
As SD noted, the Russians ain’t the problem.
I saw them all fall.
I saw controlled demolition. Everyone can have their own opinions, as many do, however, the laws pf physics cannot be suspended for a day, because NIST or the Government said so. This is not even a debate amongst the many credentialed and honest experts that appear in this video. These people are true experts in their fields. Even one who worked for a top tier demolitions company. What he has to say along with the others are things that certainly probably caused them serious headaches from the blowback, but they told the truth anyways. Consequences be damned.
Architects and Engineers For 9/11 for Truth: The Explosive Evidence, is the one to watch, to understand the truth.
I dont bother debating people who think that this could happen the way it did, by fire, jet fuel, and office furniture fires. They dont want to hear the truth. Grade A structural steel doesn’t not melt or bend the way NIST claims, and physics do not act the way they fell. It is literally scientifically impossible, and the design of those 2 towers especially, is like a pencil going through a mosquito net. There would be a hole. And the rest would stand. As others with catastrophic fires have before this day. The beams did not melt and come apart in milliseconds and seconds. It is literally impossible! Without explosives!
I saw one guy on this forum saying the designer built them to fall into their own footprint, just last week. That is a bald faced lie. The man who designed them said what I just did. Mosquito net=Hole=Still stands.
People can yap all day long. Ill take the words of the experts who had much to lose and nothing to gain by explaining it, in detail.
Out of respect for the people that were lost, I say RIP to them all, and God help the family’s who are still struggling with it all. Those wounds will never heal.
Who was behind it, I hope they burn in hell, for eternity.
The similarities with OKC are hard to ignore.
And TM was making noises about Lon Horiuchi and Waco.
TM was one dupe in a long line of dupes.
I *think* Caius means the NIST report is lies and BS. If he knows OKC had cut support girders that allowed the front of the building to blow out, then he knows 911 was an inside job. That’s why I deleted my posts of sheep and Jews being loaded onto the trains. Caius *knows*, I think.
As I understand it, they will burn in hell unless they repent.
And I haven’t heard any confessions yet so it doesn’t look good for them.
“I dont bother debating people who think that this could happen the way it did, by fire, jet fuel, and office furniture fires. They dont want to hear the truth.”
An exercise in futility to be sure.
I was working in my investments job and saw it live on CNBC. Cried for days at the horror. My poor little three year old couldn’t understand why mommy was crying so much. Still cry every year on this day
I will never forget seeing those poor people having to jump from the roofs to their deaths instead of burning to death. That I will never forget. I cannot even fathom the horror. The same mindset that murdered thousands of our beloved senior citizens by the purposeful dumping of Covid patients to jumpstart the Covid Coup, was behind the 9/11 treason/betrayal.
Those are the most horrifying pictures of all.
I was shaving and listening to WLS radio. Clear blue sky in Chicagoland. I watched the second plane hit on TV. I remember the quietness of airplanes being grounded and learning of an old friend from high school who lost his life, leaving behind a two year old daughter and pregnant wife… One of the Cantor Fitzgerald employees killed.
I saw the 2nd plan hit on the television. Then and there I started calling to find if there was a ground attack, and checking my gear and mags at the same time.
This is strange, but the one thing I remember about 9/11/2001 was the sky. I live near Chicago. After spending hours watching the carnage, I went outside to go to store. The sky was beautiful! A brilliant blue with not a single cloud. What irony, I thought.
it was amazing, wasn’t it?
never before and never since have i seen a sky like that.
every once in a while, it will get close, which brings all the memories flooding back.
but never as perfect as that day’s.
perhaps reassurance that, despite the carnage, God was still in His Heaven.
I was getting ready for work, and realized I was out of coffee. Was coming back home from 7-11, sitting at a red light and marveling ar what a perfect beautiful day it was. A Breaking News came on the radio, and said that a plane had hit one of the towers, but it was thought to be a small plane. Rushed home, turned on the tv and watched as the second pane went into the other tower. Sat all day in front of the tv, crying and praying. Never in my wildest imagination could I believe this could happen.
I thought this thread was a remembrance of the human toll and the sadness of the events of 9/11.
But some just have to get their OWN opinions in with their theories, etc.
Oh, God Almighty, help us remember that the loss of life is more important than theories and puffed egos. Help us to be compassionate on the days of memorials and pray for those who remain. Thank you, Lord, for Holy Spirit who is willing to grant us wisdom and discernment about when it is proper to apply compassion and let our own selfish needs take a rest.
I watched from my home. My husband was structural engineer. I worked for a middle east program on 4 yr campus. My sorrow for the harm, death, and sorrow is palpable even today.
Thank you Sundance.
People grieve in different ways. Some people believe that it is critical to get to the truth about what happened.
Because of the narrative that we were sold on 9/11, this country and its military and most of us went on a decades long revenge attack against Iraq, Afghanistan and certain Muslims. Because of the narrative we gave the deep state the patriot act, the FISA court and the power to surveill us here in America like never before.
Shouldn’t we want to seek the truth? Don’t the people who lost their lives on 9/11 deserve justice at last?
Late to work that morning because I had to drop off kids at two places. Heard it unfold on the radio. The second “plane” it just before I turned in the parking garage. We watched from the 8th floor windows of the Federal Building I worked in (not in NYC). We watched as all the Federal Police SUVs left our building to go and shut down our cities large airport. We all left shortly thereafter. I listened to the radio on the way home and heard about the first tower falling. I remember thinking in my mind about how horrific a building of that size falling would be. But was shocked to watch it pancake like a demolition when I got home.
Driving to school in SoCal to teach. Regular day. I heard KFI announce the 2nd tower being hit. I pulled over and called my wife and told her to go get the kids and hunker down at the house. Our home in Moreno Valley, CA was in the flight path of 6 SoCal airports. Very eery after the no-fly order. SoCal is constantly full of air traffic and seeing just the stars and city light glow was extremely unnerving.
40ish days later, I received a phone call from an old acquaintance. Seemingly immediately, I was on a mountainside looking at the other side of a valley on BDA. I’ve never seem anything as awesome as B52 payload doing work.
My thoughts and prayers are forever with those lost, their loved ones, and every single soul altered by the events of that day.
I was at work and my wife called me and said that a plane had crashed into one of the World Trade Center towers. There was no TV at work, so I turned on radio KOA 850, and there were live reports coming in – I guess by phone. One report said that an eye witness said he had seen the plane turn to fly directly into the tower. I was shocked! I left work and drove home and turned on the TV just in time to see the second plane hit the second tower. I then knew it was a terrorist attack. It was a day I would never forget.
“The elected officials here today show their respect and reverence to the families on September 11th.
Or in our president’s words, ‘do 9/11.’
Quite a flippant remark, but please remember that the September 11th families live it every day, not just on the anniversary.
In conclusion, may God bless those battling post-September 11th illnesses.
Our first responders and the military here and abroad.
May God bless America and never forget,” she said.

I was in my OBGYN’s office for my final check-up & to choose my #3’s birthday (on when we’d induce labor)…
I wasn’t sure what was taking my Dr so long until he came in a bit flustered saying, “planes flew into the twin towers!” 😳
We knew we were having a boy & we were waiting to meet him to decide on our final name choice. Logan was one of the two, & it seemed even more fitting to go with given the timing & surrounding circumstances– so we did.
I had also painted his nursery walls & ceiling a sky blue with clouds.
He was such a delightful & easy going baby who has grown into the most handsome & kindest young man. 😊 Got married & moved away this past year, not a day goes by that I don’t miss him. (Sigh)
Was living in St. Croix Virgin Islands at the time and watched it all unfold live on TV at the Golden Rail Cafe @ St. Croix Marine. A few days later I found out that a friend from my hometown of Pottsville, Pa, was in Tower II. Michael Ferugio,…aka Fudd. He was without a doubt one of the best human beings I’ve ever had the pleasure of knowing.
Love yah Fudd! ❤️❤️🙏🇺🇸
9/11/2001 + Islam = ~3,000 Killed!!!
Rest In Peace!!!
I remember where I was like it was yesterday. I was in on duty, on board CVN-69 USS Dwight D. Eisenhower, moored on pier 12, at Naval Station Norfolk VA. I was on duty, it was a light day, most of the ship was off, and I was the on watch SPO (Steam Plant Operator) in #2 SSTG Doghouse with the on watch In-Plant Electrician and Cold Iron Watch troubleshooting a bilge pump whose float switch was not working. The bilge was overflowing and shorting out other electrical equipment.
The roving electrical watch came up (he was a weirdo, known for his elaborate stories, and BS) and proclaimed that plane just flew into the World Trade Center. All three of us in the doghouse laughed and told him to STFU and take his ridiculous stories elsewhere, especially one like that. He insisted it was true. A few minutes passed and then “dong, dong, dong,” “dong, dong, dong” the General Quarters alarm went off, followed by “This is not a drill, this is not a drill, man your battle stations. Set modified Zebra” “dong, dong, dong” “ dong, dong, dong” “This is not a drill. Man your battle stations, set modified Zebra.”
And just like that, all of us were off, setting Zebra, and manning our battle stations. All of us thinking the same thing “WTF is going on, we are in port……….we are sitting ducks…wtf is happening” We were reduced staff, no air wing, and only duty section. We still had zebra set under two minutes and we then heard the Captain “Our country is under attack. Stand ready. Your fellow sailors are on recall. They will be here shortly. God speed.” I will never forget those words.
The small boys anchored in nearby piers were pulling lines and setting sail. Our phone lines were being swamped by family and loved ones. I didn’t get to speak to my wife until the following day.
After the plane was shot down (yes, shot down, those brave people may have fought the terrorists, however, there is no doubt in my mind that military blew it out of the sky, can’t take chances) and the day settled, General Quarters was lifted and those on duty had to scrub our rosters to provide all names of those who were from NYC and had family near the WTC or working in it. My friend Greg’s dad worked there and Greg was a mess. He was on duty with me. He was the CIW. All of us in Reactor Propulsion division on duty stayed with him all night in our office.
He was finally able to contact his mom the next morning; God must’ve intervened, hid dad decided to go into work late to take a walk along the river. He was on his way when the first plane struck.
Off topic but you gave me flashbacks. My niece was onboard the CVN-69 and returned from a 6 month deployment from who knows where-all out there in the Middle East in’08. I was invited to be there as “IKE” returned and she could be reunited with family. An AWESOME sight that brought patriotic feelings that I’d never experienced before. Whoever her connections were on that ship allowed her to give us a tour of just about the entire ship, every level except the command deck. Words can’t describe the size of that ship. I’ll never forget it.
Ike is a big ship. Glad I could spark that memory. I was getting out in 08 when they were returning from the Gulf. That’s where they were…..
I was at MARMAC (Mid-Atlantic Regional Mainteance Center) in 08 doing my shore duty. I did 8 years on that ship; several tours and the Refueling and Complex Overhaul (over 50% of Reactor Department ended up with divorces during that time- most of us were working 80-100 hour work weeks).
Thank you for your service Mr. Brown Beauty…yeah, I looked it up. 🙂 I had several other patriotic moments as I was able to stay at Marine Corp Base Hawaii, visiting my daughter and son in law. One day I was on a beach by myself watching helos fly around. They kept coming around and I would raise my fist up high acting foolish and just enjoying what I was seeing. On one pass by, the guys actually opened the door and gave me a thumbs up back. I couldn’t believe it! I could have thrown them a sack lunch they were so close. Good times!! Too bad I don’t feel so patriotic these days. Grr.
I was on my way to work. Had just gotten in my car, and started it to be greeted with “breaking news.” While driving to work, the on air talent were bantering back and forth with theories. I remember the female saying, “Well, this had to be a private plane, right? No airline pilot could be that off could they?”
I remember chuckling, feeling bad about it, then saying a quick prayer for the poor small plane. Had to be that, right?
As I pulled into work – still remember it vividly – and was pulling into my parking spot they broke in with more “breaking news.” The second plane had hit.
I will never forget what the woman on air said next: “oh my. This is really real, isn’t it? This can’t be an accident. Are we under attack?” The station then cut to live ABC News radio coverage. I sat in my car, just digesting what I was hearing.
America changed that day. In many ways, for the worst. To this day, what happened that day still enrages me.
I was driving to Manhattan to my office located on the UWS. It was strangely quiet and I remember seeing couples dressed in their wedding finery for photos against the backdrop of the NYC skyline. I saw roses and white wedding dresses just a perfect day. It was alternate Tuesdays so I knew I would find parking in front of my office. I heard some rumblings on Wins news now in the Lincoln Tunnel about a small aircraft hitting the North Tower I instinctively knew it was a terror attack or sabotage. When I got to my office no one was there except three people and my boss who lived right next door popped in and said strange things happening and we had TVs on saw the other tower get hit. I finished my work (I know) then the few of us ran to the roof watching the towers smoldering. I have pics. When we watched the S Tower fall my assistant becomes inconsolable she says her daughter is at Stuyvesant. A little while later I go to the bank which was closed and see a rush of humans covered in dust heading North. It was unusually quiet in Manhattan even after seeing humans. My boss said I could crash at his place and I knew my wife was in Midtown so would be better to get home. Couldn’t reach anyone. A few hours the GWB would remain open so took my cue and headed back to NJ. My apartment overlooked the skyline clear to the Verrazano Bridge. It stunk for months. I lost clients in the towers it turned out. One lady said her husband was in CF turned out he was not in finance but was a carpenter working on custom shelves.
Never Forget 9/11
I was active duty rehearsing as a member of the color guard (flag detail for you non-military folks) preparing for a change of command ceremony. A little over 8 weeks later I was in Afghanistan on my first deployment of many there.
Architects & Engineers – Solving the Mystery of WTC 7 – AE911Truth
https://www.bitchute.com/video/nUwZzCW0W0bJ/
I was working, sitting at my desk in the Commercial Loan Department of a small MA bank.
The lobby was busy, as were the offices.
”OMG” as a teller got a phone call from her hubby. “Turn on the news”
Every PC in the building (and the break room TV) was turned to a news site, and customers and personnel gathered around, watching, holding each other, tears flowing, as well as praying.
My worst memory?
My young daughter Jessica calling me, hysterical. “They’re jumping, mom. They’re jumping”
I still hear it.
If you’ve ever loved an animal…
It was the dogs. The dogs are what got me.

The fact that 46 story tall building 7 collapsed into itself, like a controlled demolition, without being hit by anything, simply did not register with me for many years.
Many other against-the-narrative facts supporting a bombing / explosion versus burning jet fuel are out there also.
The 9/11 realization led to a questioning of the narrative regarding many other big 19th, 20th and 21st century events.
I was in Seattle to attend the funeral of my brother-in-law. I got up at 7am to check what the stock market was doing and learned that the Twin Towers had been hit by airplanes.
My sister’s house was near the Sea-Tac Airport and I still remember how quiet the skies were in the days following the attack.
And yes, like others, I will never forget where I was or what I was doing when I learned of the attack.

For all the jackasses who struggle with facts and evidence….
A plane flew into the Pentagon on 9/11/01. Al Qaeda jihadis were flying that plane.
1) As an FBI agent working recovery at the Pentagon on and after 9/11/01 I saw parts of the plane.
2) Remains of the human beings who boarded AA flight 77 were found at the Pentagon.
3) Witnesses on Route 110 in Arlington witnessed and gave testimony that a plane crossed the road right over their cars and hit the Pentagon.
4) And we have video footage below (which was put out right after the attack).
Don’t be an asshole. Follow the truth & evidence.

They would’ve use those notoriously unreliable 302 forms to take the testimony of witnesses.
FBI’s Interview Report Form FD-302
Typically referred to as a 302. The form that the government uses to memorialize an interview. The FBI characterizes it as a form for reporting information that may become testimony. An FBI agent typically takes handwritten notes during a witness interview and later incorporates the notes and any additional recollection into the 302. The 302 typically contains:
The FBI has lost all credibility. I don’t believe any of them about anything.
Bush talking about explosives used in 911. https://media.128ducks.com/file_store/1782dc33c05a5064221e53dd142d95cfff545fa69b9001c462296a366ff40c34
That link doesnt work
Sorry, try this one–its the last 3-4 minutes where he talks about how they got info out of Khalid Sheik mohammed about placement of the explosives to the people above would be trapped……
My better half was in the Pentagon that day. The phones were not working so it took a while to get word he was ok as well as his fellow Marines. Their eyewitness accounts are interesting, and historic. And by the way, don’t let anyone tell you that fat women are not Olympic runners who also excel at the hurdles. 😂
I’m sorry, but this has to be said. The pathetic 9-11 Trutherism on display in this conversation is a prime example of how conservatism is discredited and why we lose over and over.
Well then you stay on your “conservatism” path being led
by whomever….and the misfits amongst we-others shall
never be stranded on any path and will opine as our
intelligent and adaptible perception unfolds.
I watched those buildings come down, Way To Perfectly. The lost, sadly were collateral damage. Bush was far too calm when he got the news. He knew it was coming.
God knows the American Government had a hand in this so a few could get rich. Thru war games. It took both sides Dimms and Republicans. Clinton and Bush. Right after this the old man called Clinton the son he never had. Biden had the Patriot act written to control the people. As a mine blaster I knew right away explosives brought them down. Loose Change has a good vid. On youtube. Goat Hearding farmers couldn’t have flown jets let alone perform the feats those did. The Jet in Penn. no debris field. Same as the pentagon. Friggin passport freshly printed found by a fibby. Not to mention a beer can crushing thru steel structure. Come Lord Jesus soon.
Can’t look at the pictures above because a man I had dated in the early eighties was one of those who jumped from the offices of Canter Fitzgerald. I remember it but cannot think about it for long.
Interesting 9/11 story: https://www.barstoolsports.com/blog/3524818/911-larges-reflection
I remember that day so well. Living in western Kansas at that time, I noticed the sky was a beautiful blue as I drove to school that morning. I was a teacher of kindergarten students, and it was extremely difficult to keep up with the news and teach.
I was asleep. The phone rang and I picked it up. My office Mgr was calling about something and she suddenly said “were you sleeping?” I said yeah why? She told me to turn on the TV. A plane had just crashed 😳 into World Trade 1. I said are you kidding? How did that happen? She said she didn’t have a lot of information. I told her I’d be right down. I threw on some clothes and as I was brushing my hair the 2nd plane went in. I grabbed my keys and got to work in 5 minutes. My office had a TV that had cable. I turned it on and I had employees coming in and out of my office watching for 10 to 15 minutes at a time. When they went to the pentagon, I realized it was much bigger and we were on the 9th floor. I looked out the glass windows and we’re close to the airport, I saw the planes coming down as if they were doing combat landings. One after another. With no take offs. And then I heard about United. And how they thought (at the time) the passengers had overtaken the evil by themselves. And that’s when I cried. I had maintained a steady presence for the employees all morning. I tried to give answers. I held one lady who was shaking. And one man was so angry he asked to leave but I kept him because I was worried he’d wrap his car around a pole so I told him he could leave at lunch, which was in 2 hours. We’re on the pacific coast. But when they announced United in Pennsylvania I closed my door and I silently cried.
Then I pulled it together and got back to work. I wasn’t going to let them change my life.
Too bad they did anyway.
