REGARDING;
“I cannot help but wonder how many more lives would have been lost if those two towers had toppled over, rather than pancaking as they did to the ground below.”

Of course, it wouldn’t have happened, things only move sideways if some external force pushes them sideways and the only force acting on the towers was gravity pulling straight down, but if it HAD toppled over, it would have only been from the point of impact upward, not the floors below. Those people wouldn’t have been crushed, so who knows? maybe the death toll would have been lower.

(And now that nobody’s reading this thread any more, literally means actually so to literally
nope, someone might still be reading so not gonna finish that sentence, wouldn’t be prudent. might figuratively crush someone.)

David for removing from the earth
everyone who would do a thing
like was done on 9/11/01

As with the assassination of President Kennedy, I recall where I was when the Twin Towers, and America, attack took place.
ABC National news on 9/11/13 barely made mention of the event.
They spent more time discussing an American soldier who has gone over to al quieda. Disturbing.
God, please bless America, we need Your help.

“Where were you when the world stopped turning that September day?”

Growing up, I never understood how it was my grandparents could tell me exactly where they were and what they were doing when President Kennedy was assassinated. . . . Now I understand. I can tell you where I was and what I was doing that morning. And I will never forget it.

Fortunately, I have one thing that will allow me to be happy on September 11th – today is my dad’s AND sister’s birthday! I talked to both of them this morning at about the same time I was watching this on the “breaking news” 12 years ago. It helps me always remember, as Miss Brock said, “never take what you have for granted because you never know what the next day will bring.”

Thank you for reminding us all about 911. Well written comments by the students and great photos. It’s nice to see that young people like this have learned someting in school, and it’s nice to see they had the chance to visit the memorial. Major life lesson they’ll never forget. And may we never forget the sacrifices of those that died in the terroist attacks.

A horrible moment in American History.

I cannot help but wonder how many more lives would have been lost if those two towers had toppled over, rather than pancaking as they did to the ground below.
