Sorry if this is becoming an annual thing, but I can't help but put something on the blog about 9/11. Every year, the anniversary creeps around with the inevitably of an unwanted season and it doesn't seem to fade into memory as time goes by.
Seeing those images again shakes me to my very core and upsets me like nothing else in this world. Even without considering the motivations and ideologies behind such an attack and, with hindsight, the brutal and unjustified reaction the attack provoked, I find it emotionally and physically difficult to even comprehend the scale and horror of what went down that day. Seriously, it really knocks me for six for a good couple of days each year.
I completely agree with you old boy. Your right too, sod the ideology and politics, this was a truly awful day, a day from hell.
I completely agree as well. In fact I got so depressed last month, I rang the Samaritans. I spoke to a chap in a call centre in Pakistan. When I told him I wanted to kill myself he got all excited and asked if I can fly a plane!
Yes it was a dreadful (that's just exactly the right word) sight. Dramatic and unforgettable.....a bit like that fire at the Reichstag? and a bit like Pearl Harbour? It was indeed a day from hell, how many of them weren't/aren't televised?
