I didn't see United 93 in the theater, and I'm pretty sure that I'll wait to rent this one, too. I kind of agree with a radio show view I heard the other day. They guy said he probably wouldn't go see it because he lived through it. I wasn't there, but I watched it unfold just like everyone else in America and the world. I'm not sure I'm ready to relive it just yet.

Watching this movie today brings back so many thoughts of that day 9 11. Remembering the 2749 people that lost their lives, 343 fireman, 84 policeman, people from 87 different countries, the 20 people that were pulled from the rubble.The looks on the emergency service people as they entered those building you could see it they knew what was going to happen.

I know its hard for some people to go and see it but its a chance to remember those that died on 9 11 2001.

My heart and prayers go out to your friends Doc (and everyone else effected by 9/11) ... and a really big, appreciative THANK YOU!! As well.

My family lost a few friends to the Towers and even more at the Pentagon.

My father was suppose to be at the Pentagon that morning for a briefing ... thought I'd never say this ... but Thank God my mother became very ill and my dad took a tele-confrence instead. I sat on my couch in Laurel watching it all unfold, freaking out because I thought that that was where he was and all of the phone lines in and out of his office in Atlanta were jammed with people freaking out about locations of family members, like me ... couldn't get my dad, my mom or siblings on the phone until about 7:00 that evening ... I couldn't even begin to imagine how long and tiring of a year NYC and Washington had ...

I can't watch the trailors for this movie without getting emotional, so I will probably wait until I can view it in the privacey of my living room ...

The HB and I were talking about this last night. I'm not sure that I really want to see it. He doesn't really want to see it either.

On 9-11, I was in the classroom. I was driving in to work when I heard on the radio that something was happening. My principal and I were the only ones in the building for awhile that morning, and we talked a bit about how to handle the day. We'd pretty much decided that we were going to just teach as if it were a normal day. Children need routine.

It was very odd to be in the building when the children did come. We were overcrowded...about 1800 students in a building meant to house 1200. You couldn't move without touching another body...on a normal day...but that day, the halls were empty. Lots of parents kept their children home. Strangely, though, my first period didn't have any absent students. I was starting the day just like we do, and then the vice principal came on to do the announcements. We had a moment of silence, and then she said that it would be appropriate to turn the tv on and watch the news.

As we watched, they had questions, and I tried to answer them. My principal came in to the room to do my scheduled observation, and I remember thinking, "Why are you not helping me here? Can you not see me struggling to help them make sense of it? Feel free to jump in...any time." We were watching when the Towers came down, and they didn't understand what had just happened. I turned the tv off then, and we wrote about what we were angry about, what we were scared of.

The day after, we had our open house. My principal asked me to sing the National Anthem and God Bless America. Because we were such a big school, we had two sessions for open house...people were desperate to be with others, to come together...and we had probably 1200 people in each session. Parents. Grandparents. Little brothers and sisters. Older brothers and sisters.

It was overwhelming.

My wife and I went to see WTC this afternoon and it was a powerful experience. One young woman in the audience was sobbing loudly during the part depicting the actual collapse of the first tower.

I, too, was in the classroom that morning. We spent the rest of the day in front of the television and we all tried to explain to the students what it meant for our nation and how their world had just changed forever. It was a feeling that I will never forget. I knew then that our lives would now be judged as pre-September 11 and post-Sept. 11. I thought of my unborn son and the kind of world he would grow up in.

I believe every American should see World Trade Center, if for no other reason, to re-focus our attention on the dangers our nation continues to face from Islamic extremists bent on our destruction.

I remember this day distinctly. I had to hurry and get to my 830 law school class and ditch out early becuase it was my son's 6 week dr appointment, my husband's first day back at work, and I had to be home from class by a certain time so that he was not late for work at 10am. I woke him up walking out the door by telling him that a plane had hit one of the world trade center buildings, and that it looked like a bad crash, that I left the news on for him. I got in my car, and the second plane hit before I was out of the drive way. I lived in Downtown Jackson, about 2 miles from the law school. I drove really slow wondering what was going on and I still remember the way my stomach felt. I got to school and everyone was kind of qiet. My prof showed up and told us to go home and what to review for the next class. I got home just in time to look at the tv on top of my fridge as I walked in the door to see the buildings fall. I sent my husband out the door, and I grabbed a walkman and went out the door - listening to the whole thing unfold on the radio. After his doctor's appointment the gas had already shot up, and newpapers, clarion ledgers in a special edition were already being sold by men walking around at the gas stations. I filled up the car- just becuase, and went home to watch tv and study the rest of the day. My friends who lived in the duplex next to me, came over and we all had dinner and watched the news. 911 is when I became addicted to Fox news. Two years later I went to Las Vegas, and in front of the New York, New York casino there is a statute of liberty- there were shirts tied there from FD/ PD depts from across the country with things written all over them. They were at least 10 deep all the way around the side walk. I went back Two years ago, and they had pulled some out and framed them and placed them around the walk. I have always thought that was nice.

I have mixed feelings about the movie, the same way I would have mixed feelings about a movie about the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. I think I will rent it.

Im such an emotional person that I think its best for me to wait and watch it on dvd. My husband wants to see it at the theater but I dont think I can handle it.
