Sorry, as tragic as the events have been for the US and the American people, it pales compared with other events in recent and not so recent history. Think Dresden, for instance. Or Bhopal. Or Chernobyl.

Everybody reacts differently to tragedies and atrocities.
I have been familiar with aircraft for years, and see them on a different level than most people, so I don't really link the 767 to the 11SEPT atrocities. However, there are certain songs which are irrevocably linked to events which the songs aren't even about the same subject. However, it does seem rather normal to wonder what was felt in their last moments by those who died, both mentally and physically. |

I don't visualize the events of 9/11 every time I see a plane. Instead I visualize us kicking some serious ass!

I also seem to measure a great number of events as either "before" or "after" 9/11.
My sister was in NYC recently. She said an airplane flew over and EVERY head she could see stopped and looked up. For those of use who know NYC (I grew up there), we know how amazing such an occurrance is.... |

Sorry, but that city was attacked during a declared war, a war that was fought to rid the world of Hitler and his henchmen. IIRC, it was a war that Germany declared on the United States after a sneak attack by the Japanese. Germany asked for war, and got more then she could stand. The fire bombing of Dresden is just what Hitler wanted. Why else would he have declared war on the United States? What has the United States done to oppress the Saudi people to the point of provoking the events of 9-11? Kar98, you do still know you are free to leave this terrible and oppressive country ANYTIME you feel like it, don't you? |

Or Chernobyl. WTF are you talking about? I understand a lot of people were hurt and killed in these (mostly) accidents. BUT, those were not planned out but a group of sick fuckers, looking to kill innocent people. Beating a dead horse, my ass! (edited to add): [:K] |

I suppose Kar98 would go out and throw a party the day his mother died beuse, after all, so many other people saw their mothers butchered in the Nazi camps. That's logic for you.... [rolleyes] |

All I feel is disgust from the federal government bailing the airline companies out of bankruptcy.

I'm sure you are not the only one. But I dont do anything simular. I have a hard time identifying with the twin towers. I live on the other side of the country and didnt know anyone who was killed. Additionally the death toll was not that high statistically. Between car crashes and cancer we lose at least that many people every day in this country. So the event wasnt world altering, only our reaction to it was.

... That morning was life altering to me, and I don't over react to catastrophes. Several events within that week, impacted me with great significance. I won't discuss these on the Internet.
The irony is, that I've been working just a couple blocks from ground zero. I'll be here in Lower Manhattan for a while and I still feel uneasy when I look over in that direction. |

I fly every week and was in the air that morning. Everytime I step on a plane I remember and feel let down we haven't been able to do more.
Kar old buddy, you seem to step in shit about once every two months. |

Dashle's wife lobbying for the bailout.[puke] Having found myself alongside Imbroglio in this thread, I will probably be checking myself into a local mental institution shortly.[whacko] |
