Pay your respects to 9/11 and share some stories about what happened that day
My mom knew someone that was killed when the twin towers collapsed. His last words were "Need to call later theres some commotion". RIP.

never forget
God bless all the souls that died on that day but I get the feeling even they are tired of this day constantly being remembered.
I was 9 at the time. It didn't really hit me, I was too young to even process what had happened and understand the gravity of it. Thinking back, I can only imagine how the people in NYC felt that day.
I think we should remember the countless innocent people that died because of a bloodthirsty reactionary declaration of war after the attack, personally

Terrorist flies plance into the tower and kill almost 3000 people.
As a retaliation, america invades Iraq and after a 14 year war, the US has kill 300'000 innocent civilians.
Never forget what, you say???

For every innocent civilian killed in the 9/11 attack, 100 innocent civilians was killed by the US as a retaliation.

Not sure what orifice you pulled 300,000 out of. But yea, both were bad and we should just try to not let this happen again.
PS The CIVILIAN deaths are close to around 130,000, and these are including all from being killed by a US soldier to being blown up by IED's meant to kill US soldiers.
People are dying everyday everywhere because of war and hunger, I don't understand why do we even still remember the 9/11 terrorist attack
Jesus some of you people are edgy as fuck

"People die every day so why do we remember this mass murder event"
Are you fucking serious
I can't even begin to describe how egregious and daft that line of thinking is.

So? Mass murder events happen everyday in my home country, why can't we remember them too?

America doesn't have stuff like this so they take it seriously.
The Russians can't exactly have a tragedy day everyday (losing like 3000 people a day in ww1/2, etc).

A bomb killing a dozen soldiers is a tragedy, but I can't see how you can equate that to killing 3,000 civilians in a single attack.
Thousands of completely random and unlucky civilians dying in the middle of a previously conflict-free zone is something that hits home most when you realize how much of a dicetoss the list of victims is and could've been.
Think about it -- looking back, the victims of 9/11 will be remembered mostly for how they died and a lot less for what they did. Excluding first responders and firemen who, while making up much of the casualties, are remembered in a more heroic light (i.e. more people would've died had they not done the job that got them killed).
But when you think on it now, everyone in, say, the North Tower of the world trade center -- the list of people who worked above the 95th floor is in the thousands. And they had no reason of being up there other than the fact that their business occupied those floors so that's the part of the building that they were in. And before 9/11, being on the upper floors of the World Trade center didn't hold an impression of danger or anything. It was essentially 'Ooh, my office is up higher. I get a view!' And the thousands of seemingly random people who more or less happened to work on one floor instead of another floor died because of it in one of the worst ways imaginable.
It's like someone locking every door of the apartment you're in so that nobody can leave, and pressing a button that instantly kills the occupant of every sixth room. There was no way that anyone could've predicted the odds of who died and who didn't, know way anybody in a sixth room could've imagined that they'd die for where they happened to be, and no way to imagine how bloody terrifying it is, the magnitude of how random and insane the death that occurred that day was.
9/11 is most terrifying to me because all 3,000 people who died that day, died more or less by complete and utter chance. They went with this airline instead of that airline, their business was on this floor instead of that floor, they went to work this day instead of that day. And that's what strikes fear in the hearts of most people when thinking about 9/11 -- even if it only happened to 3,000 people, it could've happened to almost anyone.
