Never forget - ever.  Such a tragic scary day.  When the second plane hit the WTC my hubby said we were under attack.

 

I'm about an hour west of Shanksville where Flight 93 went down.  When that happened they evacuated our office.  I remember getting home and my neighbor across the street had a huge flag out - I just burst into tears.

 

I always watch programming on the History Channel on 9/11 - I'll do the same later today & tonight.  NatGeo has programming too.

 

You think you remember those events but when you see them again its just mind boggling - so horrific.

Cannot believe it's 24 years.  I worked in 2 World Trade Center in the early 1980s.  Still cannot visit the memorial that has been built on the site and whenever I see the twin towers on TV or the movies I do not watch.

I get an eerie feeling about 9/11 too. Just a 3 weeks prior, I was there on business and met on the 98th floor of Tower 1 and stayed in an attached hotel.

There are two events I recall where I was is when President Kennedy was shot and 9/11. I was in a school on both tragic events, one as a student in 6th grade and one as a High School teacher.

None of us will forget this, especially the people that were personally affected in some way.

The company where I worked had a branch in NYC that overlooked the towers.  Several employees had a close up view, several walked and ran home.  Several have PTSD to this day.  

 

My heart breaks for all who perished and their families that were left behind.
