Always remember.....never forget!
 
Thanks for posting, you beat me to it this morning. God speed to our fellow aviators and the deaths of those this day 9 years ago. A day that has changed and effected all of us.. Never forget
 
i was at EWR ,terminal C that horrible morning,looked up just after AA11 hit the North Tower,you all know the rest,God rest all the good people lost that day.

I think some element of secondary PTSD will remain with all of us who even just viewed the events of that day live on tv. I'm not sure if the images of those planes hitting the buildings or the people leaping off the towers will ever be able to able to be erased. I won't even turn on the news around this date, because I don't want to see those images again, even though they are burned in my memory. That's why I felt the need to start the other thread (though I wish I had earlier today). This day is rough for so many, whether directly affected or not, and sometimes it is helps to temper it with some reminders that the world isn't all evil, and real people can come together for each other.
 
Amen....
 
Please explain.

Secondary Post Traumatic Stress Disorder ... not sure if that would be the correct terminology since there probably isn't really a lot of precedent for it (related to watching on tv), but I think seeing those images live have in some way affected people in that respect, as opposed to the primary post traumatic stress disorder that obviousy would affect the responders, families, and people right there at the time.
 
I still have the ATC messages from that day that changed the world - I'll never forget the horror of watching UAL175 slam into the 2nd tower; and then when I discovered I knew the captain of that flight from when I worked the UAL Pilot Crew Desk.

Never forget the hatred brought to our s*************************, and never forget from where it came
