The Blast groups decided that "the show must go on" today in St. Louis and New York today. In St. Louis, the cast went on stage before the show and led the singing of the national anthem. The audience was glad to have something to keep their minds off of this tragedy, at least for a while. The show was said to have opened in New York tonight, but I have not heard from the cast there yet.

Hi

I just got this e-mail below:

Subject: no 11


The date of the attack: 9/11 9 + 1 + 1 = 11
9/11 = 911 Emergency's Phone number
September 11th is the 254th day of the year: 2 + 5 + 4 = 11
After September 11th there are 111 days left to the end of the year.
119 is the area code to Iraq/Iran. 1 + 1 + 9 = 11
Twin Towers - standing side by side, looks like the number 11
The first plane to hit the towers was Flight 11

State of New York - The 11 State added to the Union
New York City - 11 Letters
Afghanistan - 11 Letters
The Pentagon - 11 Letters
Ramzi Yousef - 11 Letters (convicted or orchestrating the attack on the WTC
in 1993)
Flight 11 - 92 on board - 9 + 2 = 11
Flight 77 - 65 on board - 6 + 5 = 11

1 Year Later.....





Midnight has passed in NYC...it is now 9/11 again.




This was the actual thread from 9/11 - 9/14 of 2001. One year ago, the people on this board.....this FAMILY...went through Hell together. I am bringing this thread forward as a reminder of the confusion, anger, and suffering we went through as a nation on those first few days.

I, like many, have watched probably too many specials on the 9/11 disasters. It was amazing to me how watching grown men cry...firefighters, police officers......big tough men just break down and lose all hope brought back all those feelings.

Many of you know my father is a County Sherriff, and also volunteers on the local Fire Department and Ambulance crews. I can't tell you how many times he left to a call when I was young, and I wasn't afraid because something inside me told me he would always come home.

Tonight I am saddened thinking of the families that never had the chance to see their loved ones to the same that day....

God rest their souls.......Please take a moment on 9/11 and remember what is really important in life. Not Disney, or little squabbles between our family members here. But your loved ones, and being safe. I consider all of these people here a part of my family, and I know many consider me the same.

Take an extra moment today to tell the people you care how much you love and care about them.

Thank you everyone.

My heart is very heavy. I've been dreading the one year anniversary. I pray we all, as a nation, make it through this day safe and sound.

God Bless all the victims and they're families.
God Bless the USA.

Although I was not a member of this site (or any site) at the time, this thread recorded history post by post and revealed the true feelings and reactions of those that were around.

It's absolutely amazing how we can all know virtually nothing about one another, yet still feel compelled to share something as serious as this as it happened. Just as that was true then, it is true now with me and many memers of this site. Even though I've never actually met anyone from here, I feel as if I know some of you personally and I consider you my friends.

I applaud those of you that were here that day for making this thread what it is. It helps us remember in a way that most things can't.

It is certanly going to be very surealistic seeing a photo of the southern Manhattan looking north without the towers. you always knew it was NYC with them in a Nitetime Picture. Now it will be harder to recogonize the skyline without a caption with it. i am still have trouble sleeping because of the events. To reiterate what some have already said it was surrealistic watching it live on CNN as it happened.

GOD BLESS THE USA AND DEATH TO BIN LADEN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Last year seems like yesterday to me even though so many things have changed in 12 months...

Tomorrow will be full of many memories for me, as I'm sure it will be for everyone. But it also will help us remember out patriotism ... the renewed sense that we found on 9/11 and the sense that still stays with us today.

Everyone.. be safe tomorrow.. and God speed.
 
I want to say, it's great that everyone here was together if only in cyberspace to get through this tragedy. I had not dicovered the forums here at the time and spent the day alone in my apartment, I wish I had had you people to turn to at the time, because like everyone else, I was devastated by what happened. I know that we as Americans, have become a stronger people having gone through this, and we will do our best to prevent anything like this from happening again. If it does, I am glad to know that there is a place I can go to for comfort with people who care about me and who I care about as well.

God bless you all.

It is now almost 1 year to the minute that I first read this thread, I honestly don't think that at that time I had any idea of the enormity of what was happening.

The fact that I am so far away did not lessen the pain I felt as the day unfolded. This forum and its members really became a family on that day, I was especially worried, upset and frightened for all my very dear friends on here - you know who you all are.

This day affected me in a way I wouldn't have thought possible, I spent so long feeling sick to my stomach at what had happened, time has helped, I am sure, but today has just brought back all the hurt and anger, as it was bound to.

I just pray that all my friends in the USA are safe today, you are all in my prayers.

Be safe my friends, and god bless all those who lost their loved ones at this terrible, difficult time.

...at this very moment, they are reading the names of all those killed at the WTC site...some 2,800+ 'real' people murdered one year ago this hour... It really hits you when you hear the names being read that these were more than just a 'number'...all had names, all had lives, and all left behind people who loved them very much.

...this is a very solemn moment in the US.

I had my students write about the ideas of "hope" and the place of laughter in our lives.... Then I had them consider such ideas as how they reacted to the attacks last year, what were the moments that gave them new hope, what America has learned, how they can use what they learned to inform their lives, and what they have learned about tolerance...

I let them watch the live coverage at ground zero (they left about fifteen minutes ago).

To all my friends here, much love today as you are close to my thoughts and heart....

Thank you for your support last September 11, and all the days since....
