I can't believe much time has passed since 9-11. Its been 2 years already. I think the effects of that day will be everlasting. I am still in a state of suspended disbelief.

I just got back from class and that video has been on my mind for such a long time and I've just started to somewhat put myself in their shoes...
Imagine waking up...kissing your wife goodbye, petting your dog as you walk out the door to take the kids to school. Then you drive to the park-n-save at the airport and drop your car off. You board the plane about an hour later and start up a conversation with the nice young lady next to you. The man to your right is quiet...looks nervous.
Smooth take off. Fasten seatbelt sign goes off and the beverage cart is being passed around. Then it happens. A few men hop up and start screaming something about weapons and a bomb.
You're suspended in fear and just keep looking forward while the women in the back scream and kids start crying.
What goes through your head? Do they even know that they hit one of the buildings?
And what about the people in the office spaces...Just taking a glance out the window when all the sudden a 747 plows through your office, disintegrating everything in an instant.
And those falling pieces of debris look like ashes from TV, but in reality they're 50, 60, 100, 500, 1000lb chunks of concrete, office equipment, bodies, all falling towards the seemingly endless ocean of people on the sidewalks below...running does no good because the force of impact sent this debris a couple thousand feet from the site I imagine (if not more).
Then imagine the clean up! A wrecked trailer in south Miami after Andrew is like picking up the clothes on your bathroom floor in comparison. People trapped under debris...thousands of pounds of, breathing in smoke and dust and ash.
And probably 99.9% don't really care about Allah, or what the middle-easterners do, or interfering with anyone's life. I'm sure they were all good-hearted people doing it the American way.
It's sick how some people can be.

I think an extremely distinction needs to be made regarding those terrorists, bin Laden's terror group and others like him.
