The same people who pulled that off are now trying to 'reduce the population' through mass murder. Why? We are too scared to fight back. No different than a bully who controls his/her 'victim'. The visible 'coup d' etat' took place in 1963 - some say the covert coup took place in 1910......

On the morning in question, I was leaving our South Charlotte office to visit customers in the Raleigh - Durham - Triangle area. No one brought it up because we all suspected the same thing, or were in complete shock and couldn't talk about it. I consciously chose not to talk about it unless asked. No one did beyond 'have you seen the news?'.

*************************************

There have been 32 'Broken Arrow' incidents involving U.S. weapons since 1950 with six unaccounted for (that the public knows about). 41 Broken Arrow incidents in the former Soviet Union with an unknown number unaccounted for. Not good at all.

I was in ND stationed at Minot. Just got done working and it was change over day for our flight in the missile field. Needless to say we got back to the base almost 8 hours after we were scheduled. Life for those in the military changed completely from that point forward as well as everyone else.
Never forget those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice then and those since to keep this nation free!

It’s still very fresh in my mind.:( A horrible day that I pray never gets repeated.
It's already been repeated. One example: '3-11-11'.

I have massive respect for American Citizens who have made the ultimate sacrifice for America. However, the 'wolf has been running the hen house' for many years.

Thanks so much for posting Dave - I’ll never forget.

I was on Martha’s Vineyard that day and shared that terrible experience with my American friends. The candlelight vigil I attended a few days later in the Boston Common is a memory that will never fade.

While I was in New England, fellow Canadians in Gander, NL were preparing for thousands of people whose flights to U.S. cities were diverted to that small town with the biggest heart you’ll ever know. If you get the chance to see the musical production of Come From Away, take it. If you’ve seen the production, you know what I mean.

We stood by you then as we’ve both stood by each other before - we’ll do it again. ?????

With unknown millions coming across the porous southern border, the already known multiple terrorists and the countless unknown, I am bracing for a repeat.

What’s this? Forgive my memory lapse.:crying:
That's what search engines are for. The Mentawai earthquake/tsunami on October 25th, 2010 is thought by many to be the 'dry run' for events on 3-11-11. The 'official explanations' were destroyed long ago, only to be 'disappeared'.....

I'm sure everyone here remembers exactly where they were and what they were doing on this tragic day. It's hard to believe that 21 years have gone by so please take a movement to remember those that lost their lives that day. Also remember those who rushed in to help save others, they too shall not be forgotten! :crying:??:flag:

I had my bags packed and getting ready for my flight to Germany to run the Indycar Race at the Lausitzring in Germany with a hop to Rockingham England the next week on their new oval. Never made the race in Germany and it ran with limited officials. Alex Zanardi lost his legs in that race to a violent crash... I was on a British Airways flight, one of the first flights after the grounding and made Rockingham. It was a heartening experience when the Brits handed each of us a USA flag and there were hugs galore for us. A very moving experience... Race was difficult for us officials, but we did our job as did the crews and drivers... Return trip to the US was so quiet...no one talked...each official was in deep reflection of the lives lost.

You may read my Ford Ranger response to support 9/11 with FX4 Rangers as I went to work instead of flying to Germany.... Ranger done Ford proud

Senior year highschool, just pulled into the parking lot. Had Man Cow on the radio and he announced a plane hit one the Towers then laughed. Thought that a small turbo prop like a Cessna hit. So thought nothing of it. Walk inside to every body in partial panic saying we're under attack. Realized it was serious. Then I got the full scope as class was interrupted to announce a second plane struck and that a third had gone down.

Sadly, I fear we have already forgotten. I still see flags out and people remembering but that was two decades ago. Kids born after that event don't seem to care about it, and we just keep making more of them.

I guess it will be like Pearl Harbor Day soon - noted only on the calendar and barely discussed publicly. I remember mentioning at work it was PH Day once and a young Millennial remarked "Oh that's nice, I hear Hawaii is beautiful. Were we supposed to ear Hawaiian shirts or something today?" I explained that PH Day was the day when Japan made an unprovoked attack on America by bombing the Navy at Pearl Harbor and drawing us into WWII. She said "Well can you blame them? We nuked their country for no reason." I quit there.

Ugh - the following quote comes to mind - "Those who fail to learn from history are condemned to repeat it."
