It was a bit weird travelling up to the West Brom game that day. We put in a great performance as well. It was only the next day that I really understood the full extent of what had happened.

I had that too. At a meeting in Brum during the afternoon and left straight from the meeting to go to the game. So I only found out what had happened when I put the radio on in the car and then listened to the full story slowly begin to unfold as I fought my way thru the traffic. But it wasn't till I got home around midnight that I saw the TV pictures. Just horrible |

Saw the 9/11 CSI programme on Five the other night showing how they cleared the site, and it showed pictures neve been seen before.
RIP those who died especially the fire fighters/policemen who got caught up trying to save people from the first tower and lost their lives when the second tower came down.

I think of the way the Americans dropped millions of tons of bombs with absolute impunity in their carpet bombing of North Vietnam killing hundreds of thousands of innocent people yet such a fuss is made of the single 9/11 attack which is almost insignificant in comparison.
I am genuinely puzzled by why this is so.

maybe because nothing on that scale had happened in the modern-day western world before?
It was hardly going to be a story buried away in the middle pages of the papers.

Yep....the problem is that deep down lots of Americans (and perhaps lots of Brits too) believe that only our way of life is really valid, and believe that all other cultures should just adopt our lifestyle, and believe that US Foreign Policy (ably supported by us) is about helping all those poor oppressed Asians, Africans, South Americans and others to see what they are missing. Sadly, quite a lot of them see it differently, and so allow space and energy for extreme responses, of which 9/11 was the most outrageous because it actually happened in America.... previously thought to be impossible! And that is very, very sad for all the victims and their families; and it gave the US and British governments the opportunity to launch their unforgiveable 'war on terrorism'.

Its not really about numbers though is it, more the circumstances and location. America were in a state of war and there were pretty big protests about the war and the carpet bombings, surely that's what lead to the withdrawal in the end.. Its hardly surprising the media and public don't want to go and dig that up that as the strategy of killing hundreds of thousands of civilians is probably a bit of a national embarrassment. In fact, 4 unarmed US students were shot dead by the Ohio National Guard when the US entered Cambodia. Land of the free my arse. With "9/11" it was a terrorist attack on national soil during peace time. Something America didn't think would really happen to them I guess despite their foreign policies. The images and the 24/7 coverage made it more real to the world too. It was literally shocking. |

To be fair i couldn't care about war etc in regards to this actual incident. Whether you agree with what they do or not the simple fact is that it's fucking heartbreaking when you see the footage of the events that day.
The wrongs and rights of what happened before and after shouldn't take away from the fact it was a horrible horrible thing that happened.
