My uncle was supposed to be in one of those towers that day, but he missed his train after a dentist's appointment...

This is the only day I visit this site. It is just as poignant and appropriate as the time I found it. I am still, and will forever be just as pissed off as I was on that day.

I will never forget this day. I live in NYC and remember everything. I lost a lot of good friends that day. Some of my friends of friends died but was never found. So we always visit there as a grave site for them. Very sad day for us......... :salute

A couple years ago I had found a website that had archived the news footage from several different networks on 9/11, starting about a half hour before the attacks.

I remember it had the footage indexed by network and by time of day.

I was looking for it again today and cannot find it, any one know what I'm talking about or where to find it?

Thanks

EDIT:  Found this one.  Not the one I remember but seems good.

Where's Traveler?  So far as I know, he was closer to it than any of the rest of us. Tough time for him.

Yes, it was really classy. Probably the first time another national anthem was ever played during the changing of the guards.
