I was 8 years old...about to go to school and I still remember watching it live.. Support from Canada!

RIP

I will never forget this day, and I remember it well.
So sad
Sorry if anybody had family or friends that was taken away from them. Fortunately mine were safe.

9/11

A Poem By Simon Armitage

Extract From - Out Of The Blue

You have picked me out.
Through a distant shot of a building burning
you have noticed now
that a white cotton shirt is twirling, turning.

In fact I am waving, waving.
Small in the clouds, but waving, waving.
Does anyone see a
soul worth saving?

And when will you come?
Do you think you are watching, watching
a man shaking crumbs
or pegging out washing?

I am trying and trying.
The heat behind me is searing, searing,
but the white of surrender is not yet flying.
I am not at the point of launching, leaving.

A bird goes by.
The depth is appalling. Appalling
that others like me
should be wind-milling, wheeling, spiralling, falling.

Are your eyes believing,
believing?
Here in the gills
I am still breathing.

But tiring, tiring.
Sirens below me are wailing, firing.
My arm is numb and my nerves are sagging.
Do you see me, my love. I am failing. Flagging.

I want to send a shoutout to all the familes that lost somebody in this event.. You are in my prayers

"Knock us down, we get back up and smack you in the face."

We had a couple moments of silence for this tragedy at my school today.

Rest in peace to all who lost their lives on this tragic day. My prayers are with the families affected by the events. Also, many thanks to the heroes of that day and that fight to keep this country free. God bless America.

May all of the people who died on that day rest in peace

I am not American but want to pay my respects to those who were among the 3000 people that died on that fateful day. My best friends Dad was in New York that day but is still alive today.

R.I.P
You will never be forgotten
