Hawkeye60 Posted September 11, 2024 Posted September 11, 2024 3 "Yeah, and though I work in the valley of Death, I will fear no Evil. For where there is one, there is always three. I preparest my aircraft to receive the Iron that will be delivered in the presence of my enemies. Thy ALCM and JDAM they comfort me. Power was given unto the aircrew to make peace upon the world by way of the sword. And when the call went out, Behold the "Sword of Stealth". And his name was Death. And Hell followed him. For the day of wrath has come and no mercy shall be given."
G.J.S Posted September 13, 2024 Posted September 13, 2024 A terrible time. Myself and my (now ex) wife had a front row seat, we had seen Michael Jackson in Madison square garden the night before, and were spending the following day in and around the city before coming back to the UK. Horrific. We didn’t see the first airliner although we heard it impact from where we were strolling in Brooklyn bridge park, across the water from the towers. A little while later we saw the second airliner come in from the SW and then hit. The disbelief that all people near us had, that this was a horrific accident when the first aircraft hit, was quickly turned to realisation that this is something a lot more serious when the second was seen. A few days later, everyone was talking about the events, and as one old foreigner said - “we are all American now . . . “ That stuck with me, as it seemed somewhat apt. It was in effect an attack on all of us. Terrible. We will never, ever forget. 1 - - - The only real mystery in life is just why kamikaze pilots wore helmets? - - -
BitMaster Posted October 1, 2024 Posted October 1, 2024 (edited) My 1. son was born 1 week before it happened and I fed him while I watched TV until suddenly the program changed and seconds later I knew, my son will grow up in a much different world, not as peaceful as 1946-2000 was. Ever since I remember that afternoon (local time). You must not forget !
