I sure know I could never do that, and have much respect for those who do, and those who have lost there life doing so

There's a lot not being told by those that have been there. There's also much about the cause and reaction to 9/11 that we will never know because we'll all be dead before the files are ever declassified.

Heck for all major events of recent history, who knows what really happened behind the scenes? who knows about the back room deals, the secret alliances, the backstabbing and shenanigans... Nothing's black and white anymore, it's just sad that so many people have to lose their lives for the amusement of the power elite, and glorification of the media

As for 9/11 I was at a friend's home when his mom came in the room telling us to turn on the TV, a plane had hit a building in New York... I thought it was only a small propeller plane or something, and it turned out to be quite a shock

thomas is right. no one knows what really happens behind the scenes unless you're the one behind the scenes. Even then, there could be other stuff going behind your back you don't know about. It's all a game of deception.

I was 22, living with my mother (again) in Houma, Louisiana. Woke up and my step dad was watching CNN on the big screen. I asked what was going on and he pointed to the tv and said, "We're under attack." The caption said "AMERICA UNDER ATTACK". I had a momentary wiggin's but then I sat down and watched a little more. Then I had to go to work. The end.
