I know completely random and off topic, but with lockdown and no footy, what else have we got to talk about. Such a disturbing, yet fascinating subject for me. I have done so much research and watched untold stuff on this and still to this day, that co-ordinated attack on America chills me to the bone. It changed the way we travel for the good in a way because Security in airports as we now know it, was purely down to drastic changes after 9/11. Not a chance hi jackers could board a plane like that in this day and age.
Anyway, everyone knows where they were on 9/11. Where were you and how did you watch the news unfold ? I was 16 years of age and just left school. I was in college doing a run with my class as we were doing a uniform services course and upon entering the college we could see the TV’s in the canteens with news breaking of the 1st tower on fire. I immediately went home and watched the news unfold and didn’t turn it off once thought the whole day. RIP to all the victims, a day none of us will never forget.
Where were you - 9/11

Sadly I was here in NYC. A Day I'll never forget. Maybe its because I simply don't want to but the actual details of that day are a bit foggy. It took me years to watch some of documentaries etc which are actually very interesting. Like lots of other New Yorkers, I think we leave the conspiracy theory stuff to others, not sure it really helps the healing process when you are that close to something that significant.. I remember a few days after going for a run around Central park, the wind was blowing and the smell that carried up town in the breeze from WTC was something I will never forget. That day changed NYC for forever, it changed everything, the culture of the city, the people and generally peoples outlook on life. Some people say it made NY a better city and a more appealing place to visit.... I dunno if that's true but as someone who lived through it (my wife was in WT1 on the morning of September 10th) the support we received from around the world was greatly appreciated

Yeah Thanks, thanfully back in her own office on the 11th but she was down there a lot. Despite all the rebuilding of that area its amazing how many people refuse to work down there. For those of you that know NYC... The massive development of Jersey city (across the Hudson) was done because so many companies were done with WT following the bombing years earlier. For those interested there's a really interesting museum down there now and the memorial is really impressive/ moving

Amazing diamond how quickly people went back to work and airlines moved so quickly. I think it was only 1/2 days and everyone was up and running working. Airlines I think we’re only suspended 1/2 days. This pandemic we have suspended life for months crazy in comparison

Unbelievable video. The shocking one was the fire fighters filming documentary and catching the 1st plane hitting the tower. Social media and phones weren’t as big back then. Imagine if this happened now.

I've never seen number 10 before either , it's rather morbid to watch but also fascinating at the same time.
