Services Mark Sixth Anniversary of 9/11

video.on.nytimes.com

The 9/11 “Memorial in Light”—shown in this time-lapse video presentation on the New York Times website—was back on for the sixth anniversary on Tuesday.

Mourners, visitors and public figures converged in New York, Washington, D.C., and Pennsylvania to observe the anniversary of Sept. 11 at or near the sites where the terrorist attacks took place six years ago.

The New York Times:

At 8:46 a.m., the moment the first plane struck the North Tower, a bell was sounded, as it has for six years now, and the gathered masses bowed their heads.

“On that day, we felt isolated, but not for long, and not from each other,” Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg said. “New Yorkers rushed to the site, not knowing which place was safe or if there was more danger ahead. They weren’t sure of anything except that they had to be here. Six years have passed, and our place is still by your side.” In Washington, unlike previous anniversaries of the attack, President Bush spent the day in the city after attending a service at St. John’s Episcopal Church and holding a moment of silence on the South Lawn of the White House.

One more 9-11 prayer by a public official and I’m gonna PUKE!!

I’ve never witnessed such abject hyprocracy in my life… Nixon seems spotless next to these guys.

If there was a smidgen of true sadness in the world, someone would note that the firefighters who died on 9-11, and the firefighters who still protect New Yorkers today can rarely afford to live inthe city they protect! Shame…. I know what they should have built at Ground zero ... if only the money wasn’t first in line!

The ‘terrorists’ don’t all live at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.—that’s just the operations center. The active and passive enablers of what happened on 9/11 are spread throughout American society.

The ‘terrorists’ live wherever senior executives in oil companies happen to reside.

The ‘terrorists’ live wherever you find the senior management of the military/industrial complex of which we were once warned.

The ‘terrorists’ live in the boardrooms of the media conglomerates that created and continually empower the Bush junta.

If you live and hold any sort of decent job in America, you work for the ‘terrorists’.

God help us all.

9/11 the greatest tragic and evil fraud ever put over on America.

Friends in Poland and Italy shake their heads in sincere disbelief that some Americans still think the media is honorable, when they’ve been masterfully complicit in choreographing the pr of a crimewave so dark in construct and design, only denial is fitting.

“it can’t happen here” did and in broad daylight w/the smoking gun in all our hands, put down the remote control, ignore the papers and pray the servers don’t go down in a perfectly planned and ‘unexpected blackout’, because this isn’t Kansas anymore.

i spent the entire day crying. i cried for all the dead iraquis, the ones who welcomed our invasion with cheers and rose petals. the people whose lives are far worse than they were under the despot saddam. iraq didn’t have anything to do with 9-11. the terrorists all live at 1600 pennsylvania ave. the green zone of our country.
