Lots of memories from back then. Started with my wife rousting me from bed to coming down stairs to see on TV the carnage unfolding. Also remember shortly afterwards hearing fighter jets with afterburners on flying over the house. The windows rattled and that’s when it sunk in we were under attack. Being from Boston it was all the more heart breaking.

As the day unfolded the events that transpired over the day came into perspective. Nothing would ever be the same again. 20 years later that’s certainly a reality too.

No matter what they will never be forgotten, God bless America, let’s roll…

My heart is broken for the victims. The thoughts & fears they had. Many had a long time to think before they perished. God Bless them and their families. I pray we never see this again. God give us strength and courage. Forgive us where we’ve sinned.

I think the saddest thing I saw was when they showed people jumping from the top floors. I cant imagine what was going through their minds having to make that choice of staying inside and burning to death or jumping to your death. It breaks my heart every time I think back on that moment and the pain that was caused. :crying:

Still one of the worst things to see, even 20 years later. I was watching the 60 Minutes special of the interviews of firefighters talking about that sound - absolutely, heartbreaking.
