I was in school when I heard about the twin towers. A class mate ran into the class room saying "the world trade centre's have been hit!". None of us really knew what was going on till we got home and switched on the news.
Even years after that horrible event, when I watch clips of 9/11, I still get chills down my back. To watch people jump out of windows just to escape the smoke and flames. To hear that haunting sound of all the thumps, where people hit the floor. Each thump is a life lost. It is unimaginable what they went through.
It's something that'll make you speechless for months. To watch so many lives lost in such a horrific terrorist attack.
It's simply unthinkable.

So you are saying that if you had a gun and saw Bin Laden in front of you... you would squeeze the trigger?

And no, I am not trying to make a fool of you or turn your gun beliefs around. Its just a quick question.

My answer: Fuck yeah. I would unload the whole magazine on him.

Damn right I would. Like you, I'd empty the magazine. Make sure every bullet hits.

And as usual, I am sure the brits intelligence agencies helped us as much as they could, when they could. Always nice to have good friends looking out for you.

Im not sure how many of your guys got killed in that 9/11 attack. I havent run down the list according to countries visiting/working that day. All I know is a shit load of people have had justice served.

Thats it chaps. Hop out of those uniforms and lets meet at the pub for a well deserved toast to freedom and friendship

We lost some during the 7:7 London Bombings. One bus blew up and one train. Thing is, the very next day, Londoners carried on as if nothing happened. Still went on buses and trains. The message we sent out was that we will not show fear, we will not change our ways and that they'll have to do a lot better than that.
The terrorists failed. We carried on like normal the next day, unaffected.

We must not show fear, we must not let them affect our lives. As the sign says! -

We Americans had some fear. Then again, we got hit pretty hard, especially when we found out one of the planes was trying to hit the White House. That pretty much settled it for us when that was made public. If it was just some random bombing, we would have let some tears loose, and then go about your business. But this attack? Man, that one hurt us.

Oh yeah, and sorry to hear about that train bombing. I remember seing it and thinking "Are these terrorists just going to keep going and going?"

You got hit pretty hard. You do have a good reason to be affected by it. Just don't ever give in to them. Let them know time and time again that they have failed. They take lives, we become more determined. They try to change us, we refuse and carry on like normal.
Like when a bully pushes you to the ground, just get back up, dust yourself off....then deck the bastard.
During WW2, every bombing run the Germans made, we dusted ourselves off and carried on as normal even made jokes about it. Got them back later on in the day.

The terrorists want some kind of reaction and effect like fear. Don't give them the satisfaction. Just make sure they pay for it.

Except, we did. We took our constitution and tore it to shreds then bankrupted ourselves with a couple of pointless wars.

Hey Obama, where's the death certificate?
