I didn't vote for him, didn't want him to be my president, but I at least respected him, and after seeing how he handled himself in front of those kids I even admired him a little. And then in the days and weeks to follow I really appreciated his leadership; he was calm, decisive, measured and focused. It felt like the Captain was at the helm, and it's hard to convey to people who weren't alive then how important that was. I never once thought he was going to fly off the handle and "push the button", or do the reverse and crumble under the pressure - and now that I've had four years to experience the anxiety of either or both of those things happening if a day like this one were to happen under the more recent republican, I can definitely appreciate the value in someone like Bush. There are plenty of people who are looking back saying we should never have gone to war and criticizing Bush for the decisions he made then, and honestly I can't say whether or not we should have, but I'm also not going to throw stones, because I remember after the shock started to wear off that I wanted blood just as much as most of us did. My town was a commuter community just outside the city, so practically everyone knew someone or had a loved one involved in one way or another and I could see the way I felt in the faces of everyone I knew. Right or wrong, it's what we wanted.

Yep- just as soon as that passport magically appeared out of the millions of tons of rubble,you were instantly at war for the next 20 years,how many lives were lost,and how many billions of $$ were squandered/ stolen ? Writing this on 28 August 2021, how did that war work out? About as well as Vietnam or Korea or Iraq. Good job destabilising the entire planet guys.

I remember that day as clear as yesterday. No I was not in any of the cities hit but we were evacuated and released to go home in my State (CA). That day, my former Marine father hugged our American flag and cried for the dead and their families... that is how we all felt. The rest of the week was the most quiet and somber; the skies, the people even nature seemed to be mourning. At one point, I walked to our local firehouse, having made chocolate chip & walnut cookies and printed out the iconic photo of the firemen of NYC at the pile raising the Flag and framed it. Tears streamed as I told them how much I appreciated them and their fallen brothers, handing them my gifts. I was received with respect and given silent hugs. We strangers were an instant family.

@mikoto7693

2 жыл бұрын

I can assure you that good people all around the world stood with America that day. We watched with very similar disbelief, shock and grief. I’m British, but 9/11 is engraved in my mind forever. I was 17 at the time learning the structure of the human heart in biology class when the first plane hit. I knew nothing until my Mum came to pick me up and told me about it. We thought it was an accident. We got home and turned on the tv almost literally just in time to see the second plane hit. I realised then that it was no accident. Our allies were under attack. When the first tower fell I said to my parents and brother that soon the second would fall. But I wished it wouldn’t. I willed that building to stand, and I wondered how many people were like me, desperately wanting that building to defy the odds and stay standing. But.. it didn’t. I remember the sickly horror I felt at the the jumpers, but I respect them for choosing their way out. But even though it was the US that was attacked, it felt like an attack on us too. The US and UK are allies. It felt like an attack on the Western way of life. We felt anger, shock, disbelief and grief too. Everyone I knew around me from family to other students at college felt the same way. Even now I honour 9/11 in the week leading up by rewatching the documentaries and re-reading the events. Then on 9/11 I light a candle in mourning and respect for those who lost their lives that day. And a second one for all the heroes that day. From the firefighters, police and paramedics to the boat crews that worked all day to evacuate people from Manhattan, to those civilians whose stories I don’t know. I remember. I am British, but I never forget.

I've always said it is unfathomable to think of being in Bush's shoes that day. Beyond party lines or decisions afterwards, being in this role would have been hell on Earth. The trauma you would have to live with from the position of power. Your country is being attack, you're also target, figure it out. What a nightmare.

Thank you. Very interesting. What a terrible day 9/11 :-(

Very interesting inside perspectives of that day.

Absolutely fascinating accounts to hear

I remember that day from a different perspective. Firstly this was before phones where you could pull up info instantly. I was working that day so I heard over the radio as it happened almost like a pearl harbor type moment because those images were in my conscience through am radio. Its wasnt until I got home that night that I watched the images on tv. It was horrific to watch. Back to the phones. No calls out no calls in. The network was paralyzed until late that evening and the cellphone (albeit early phone and text) still dropped calls into the evening. Then living near an airport the following few days not a plane in the sky. It was eerie. I was amazed at how people came together and was proud to be Americans. They raised their flags half staff or the small ones put outside their front doors.

Photographers have framed how we see events and people for well over a century and a half, and they do their work quietly and often unsung. It's great to hear one talk about his work.

Will the government ever come clean about 9/11 ??? Certainly not within my lifetime ...

it's always an interesting perspective to hear from when you hear things from people that were actually involved with the president when all this was going on. I remember when it happened I was in a 7th grade history class, just walking in the door getting ready to start when the teacher had the TV on. One of the first things I heard on TV was... oh my god it's falling down! I thought it was weird how the teacher had the TV on at that time anyway, because it was one of those things that just never happened. The rest of the day just had an eerie feel to it. All the teachers had their TVs on in their classrooms, and nobody really understood the full gravity of the situation until later on.

I can't believe I was actually thinking I might raise my personal thoughts on Karl...a little impressed with his speaking there...right until the dig about a man losing it when the young airman locks a round into the .50. But nope he dropped right back to the lowest of the lows.
