oh wow. yea, we are 8.6 miles away and we can see them. i could prolly post a pic of the view from here once i capture it. . .*sighs*


and last nite the 911 story was on. Oh My God how sad i FEEL for those guys! The priest was number 0001 to be pronounced dead. . I swear i just started crying after i watched it. and i couldnt help but think, 'my dads friend is in there' :crying:
so scary, you heard the crashes and they said that was people jumping out of the window...omg ima stop now. . :( :crying: :( :crying: :( :crying:

As you know I'm from here too and I started to cry in the beginning of the 9/11 film. It's not the same when you look at that spot over there. All the buildings are so low. I think I will always get choked up when I see that empty spot. One of my fireman friends survived the disaster and he was on TV so I felt better seeing him talking about the disaster. Thank God he didn't perrish. His little children would not have had their daddy. :crying: I do feel better seeing the beams of light though. I like that idea.

That'd be nice, I'd like to see a picture.

Excuse my ignorance (I haven't watched the news in days) but I haven't even heard about this. I'm assuming these beams of light are supposed to be a memorial or something? Did they just turn them on today? I'll watch the news tonight and see if they mention it.

patriot: To those who lost their lives on 9/11... I can't believe it's been 6 months already... :crying:

Actually, it's only temporary. But yes, it is a memorial.

Oh my Gawd...that picture.....

Wow.

The lights would be turn on every day at dusk and turned off at 11:00 PM for 32 days.

I believe, they will be doing the same on it's one year anniversary too.

Today My family and I took a drive to see the WTC Beam of lights.

What we saw was a very bright light in the heavens above. It looked like a big cloud that shown brightly in the sky above the beams.You could hardly see the light at all. I had to squint in order to see the lights. Maybe because it looked foggy. We saw the Statue of Liberty with it's shining light and the Empire State Building Red/White and Blue. There were also some planes passing by the beam of lights.

It looked so solemm over there.

Then it started to rain........... patriot: patriot: patriot: patriot: patriot: patriot: patriot:

OMG that is so freaking sad!! I love things that have to do with WTC and Pentagon and NY and DC. If i was there, I would be crying there the whole time!

im in nj kinda close to new york.. about a little over a half hour away and i can see it from my backyard..

Living in NY you really missed the towers though. Mostly everywhere you went you could see them. Now it's just a vast space of emptiness. I saw the 2nd movie King Kong when it was filmed over there with Jessica Lange. I saw King Kong on the ground when they were filming the death scene. patriot:

When will the government catch Osama Bin Laden? :livid: :smash: :angryfire :angryfire :angryfire

Sometimes, I would think why they didnt hit on the Empire state instead, god forbid, but...the WTC, in my opinion, is a much bigger deal than the Empire State...:mad:

I don't live near NYC (give or take, about four hours away) but I've seen pictures of the two beams of light. They must be amazing in person... I envy the seventh grade class this year - they get to go to NYC in about a week or so and get to see them firsthand!
I was actually looking through my New York photo album and found a picture I hadn't seen before, with a note on the back from one of my friends. It said this was the picture she had taken with my camera that first day, and I turned over to see what she had taken of -- The Twin Towers.


Amazing how only now I see this picture. :crying:
