Will you be watching the 9-11 Coverage

This Wednesday marks the 23rd anniversary. I lived through the day first hand and I think I will pass this year. The day still haunts me and I have not rationalized it yet. How do you feel about it. I hope that this does not get poofed. 

Stop being afraid of what could go wrong and start being positive what could go right.

I hadn't heard about it. I might watch, it's still so sad to see it again. Especially thinking about the brave first responders who lost their lives years later.

No. Too sad. I watched it in previous years. 

 

23 years ago I was 2 days away from delivering my first child.

I watched hours and hours of coverage in the hospital in the days following 

9/11/01. Will never forget.

I don't need to watch it again.  I can still remember seeing it live.  It's been burned on my memory...where I was at that exact moment, not believing my own eyes.

I will not, too emotional. Because I was the chairman of the Red Cross chapter that handled the site I spent 4 weeks of my life at the site of the the flight 93 crash and I hope to never return again.

No, I won't be watching any coverage. Seeing it over and over again isn't helpful and I hope parents will shield young kids from it since they don't understand it's not happening at the moment.

  Yes, I watch and will mourn again for all those innocent souls  who were murdered that day . I think it is important for those who are ignorant of history  to  see and know abt this horrific  tragedy.

No.  It was too depressing & sad & horrible. Don't want to relive awful events like that.

No..I lived in Queens NY back then..it was a living nighmare...and smell  and sight of the smoke..Lost a lot of people I knew who worked in the towers.

 

My kids were young..Ironically..my one son worked building the new tower.

Yes I will be watching, even if it is only for a short period of time. No matter how painful it will be, I feel an obligation, a duty, to devote a part of my day to watching something pertaining to 9/11. In my own way, it's a way of paying my respects.

 

I have a personal connection to what occurred and to someone that I knew that had a close family member killed.
