Documentary on 9/11 on HBO

There is a documentary on HBO on 9/11 and the events and footage that happened that day. I started to watch it and 20 min. into the program I am an emotional wreck. I see people passing around surveys on Myspace asking where were you and what were you doing on 9/11.

I myself, was pulling into my job at the time on Route 9W in Englewood Cliffs which is by the George Washington Bridge in NJ. I had only worked there 2 weeks after turning down a job at Morgan Stanley which happened to be located in the upper floors of one of the towers. I count my blessings that I didn't accept that job. I was listening to 1010 wins and heard the first report that there was a plane that hit. I went into work and the phone starting ringing because my boss' parents had an office in the south tower. They were luckily running late that day. I then was told to go home at 9:30 where I then went to Glenn's house and watched the news till 10something when we decided to drive to Hackensack to see the damage ourselves. It literally looked like a nuclear bomb went off...my kitchen window of my old apt. in Kearny looked out onto the skyline of NY. For days there was smoke in the air and it was very surreal to see the skyline of NY after the smoke had settled. I went to a benefit show somewhere below canal a couple weeks later and it smelled of rotten flesh. There is realy no way to describe it. I still haven't been able to bring myself to GO down there to the actual site where the towers once stood. I use to take the path train all the time there and ride those escelators up to the lobby. I've commuted thru there via subway, gone for interviews there, saw plenty of shows at the top at the Windows of the World bar/restaurant. Brought friends there that were visiting from out of town. It's just really surreal.

Most of you aren't from the NY area. Growing up all my life with the WTC there in the skyline it is still heartbreaking "not" to see the towers there. Those of you from this area know what I'm talking about. If you are in my age group or younger, you never saw the skyline of NY w/o the two towers. They were used as beacons to tell where you were if in Brooklyn, NJ or even in Manhatten.

I truely believe they should run this documentary on Regular TV every day to remind us Americans just what our country stands for. Freedom! We tend to forget. With everyone on a Bush bashing campaign and blaming our government for what should, could or would happen is just wrong. We should support our nation no matter what. Yes we have the right to disagree but there are to many fuckin' liberals out there who bash the US. Most of them haven't served their country and wouldn't if asked to.

It's been 4 years since the trade center fell. People go on with their lives, we're at war right now and most are bashing the war. I personally don't think we should be there and if we would have gone in, done what we needed to do and killed who we needed to kill and gotten out we'd be better off but now there IS no exit strategy. I personally think that there is no reasoning with these people. They should just fuckin' be wiped out. I know it might be wrong to say but how do you deal with a religious fanatic who thinks by being a martyr they are going to get virgins when they go to heaven? That all infedels should be wiped out. WE are those infedels...get it, they want to wipe US out.

Stop bitching about your country, grow some pride and stand behind your troups! If you don't like it, move to fuckin' the middle east and see how you like it there.

Most of all don't forget 9/11. It isn't the last time shit like this is gonna happen on OUR soil. Sad to say...
