Remembering 911

Today marks 7 years since the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Centre, the Pentagon and the downing of United Airlines Flight 93.

It's definitely not something that we will ever forget, I do remember sitting in total disbelief with Andrew as we watched Rove and a news bulletin came on saying that a plane had hit the World Trade Centre, thinking oh what a terrible accident. But then watching the 2nd plane crash into the 2nd tower and just being totally dumbstruck as to what was happening and the horror of seeing the towers collapse one after another.

I think this year it is seems to have hit me harder as we were there a couple of weeks ago and it really put a lot into perspective seeing the big hole in the ground, the construction still going on, not much to really show for it. The memorial museum was something that will stay with me also, I could definitely feel a tear or two well up looking at the pictures, hearing about the people that died and the messages and love that came from their family and friends.
