This 9/11 tragedy is the most compelling and emotional event I have ever dealt with. I think about it at least 50 times everyday. I was in those towers several times only 2 months before the attacks. My friend lived in Jersey City and we always rode the PATH train to the WTC every day. I cry either on the inside everyday or with gushing tears some days, especially when I watch my videos or some youtube ones showing the victims and their pictures, or the audio,(Kevin Cosgrove, Melissa Doi,etc. along with some of the audio of the NYC firefighter/EMS/Port Authority audio transmissions). The buildings were staggering and beautiful (miss them very much
), but the thousands of people who lost their lives is just sickening.
If you haven't got this book, get it now: It's called: Portraits of 9/11/01 The Collected "Portraits of Grief" from the New York Times
Revised Edition 2003 (IMO, the world's greatest newspaper).
It's 684 pages long. What a masterpiece and a great celebration of those people's lives. I don't know how I can express enough well wishes to the families and friends of the victims.
Sadly people are forgetting quickly.
I didn't hear one person at work talk about it at all. The news coverage was a joke. MSNBC had the best coverage. CNN broke away several times to talk about meaningless, pathetic news. Of course FOX praised Bush the whole time like usual.
He's like a god to them and the rest of the Republican party, even though the attacks happened under his watch as president.
I don't need to say anymore about that prick.
The thing is I am just drawn to this tradgedy. It's like a magnet. I really don't know why? NYC is my favorite city, those were my favorite towers in the country, plus I was there, but I am sucked into it nearly every day. I have to watch the vidoes and read the portraits book all the time. It is so sad and makes me feel bad, but I feel like I have to relive it all the time Why? It's puzzling to me?
