Thanks for the photo, it's beautiful. I think this is a still a sad day for most Americans.
I read an article yesterday that posed the question "Is it still too early to joke about 9/11?"
Man, maybe I'm more sensitive than most, but I had a pretty physical reaction. The mere idea that someone could think it might be OK to joke about it made me sick to my stomach. I personally don't think there will EVER be a time that it's OK to make jokes about that day.

Beautiful picture. I remember where I was, and so many of the thoughts that went through my head at the time.
Goodness............YES, it's WAY too early to joke about it, and I pray we never ever do.

The history channel had 2 documentaries tonight.....one on RIck Rescorla who was head of security at Morgan Stanley and had predicted and prepared for a terrorist attack and how his efforts saved almost all the 3,000 employees of his company ( which occupied 30 floors of tower 2)....the other was 102 minutes.....I was moved.....it has been a long time since I have seen those images.....and it took me right back to that morning......

I too remember where I was & what I was thinking throughout the day. A weird thing: earlier that week, a private plane crashed accidentally into a tallish building in Indianapolis. It was a bit of a mess, but only the people in the small plane were killed. So when I first heard about a plane crashing into the WTC tower, I thought it was like that - small, private plane with a pilot asleep in the thingypit or something. I heard the short report with almost no information on the way into our coffee shop. When I arrived, dh asked if I'd heard about the plane crashing into the WTC. "Yeah, I heard that." But he was way too upset by this thing, so then I got the full picture. The patrons were all gathered around our 7 computer screens watching the news streaming the crash video, listening to the reporters. Scary day.

The picture is beautiful. Thank you. There is nothing about death that should be used as a basis for jokes. That was a horrible, sad day and I'll never forget it.

I saw the History Channel piece,(fab) and also thought a small engine pilot had ran into those fabulous towers that morning....i was getting ready for work, and called the men into my room, where i had the news on. "look what some dumbass has done! can you believe it??"
the second plane and the pentagon were hit on my way to work, and we knew this was no accident. I started freaking and trying to get hold of my stepdaughter, who works in manhatten. No phone service to NY at ALL!
I ran into the pharmacy, and told what i knew (we don't usally have a radio or anything going in there)...and watched the knees go out of my young, stocky RPH....he choked out that his brother worked at the pentagon.
what a horrible day.....we heard from the brother about 2 hours later...and again his knees left him, this time....he started to cry. We made him go home...
i left too, gathered up my children and husband and loved them as hard as i could. jennie finally tex'd out that she was ok.
I think Im most amazed at how sad the rest of the country is...and how PISSED the new yorkers are! I don't think there will ever be a memorial built there....they are still too angry to agree on anything....and rightly so.
i just still shake my head...
inconceivably senseless

Never should that day become a joke!!!! I mean come on who jokes about Pearl Harbor? That was my initial reaction, too. You just don't hear jokes about that. Who jokes about national tragedies? Do we joke about JFK or Martin Luther King?
