Well...my mum and i still are shocked in disbelieve when we see those things on tv...they were showing it again yesterday , and i still cry when i see that second plain crashing...i STILL can't believe it and it hurts me everythime i see it...i think this is something that goes above , how do i say it , i think it's something your brain cant take and thats why it shocks you everytime. And being on ground zero this winter , there was a weird atmosphere their man.

I haven't been to New York since 1991. I imagine it would be a creepy feeling to stand at ground zero...



Yeah, I know that feeling you're talking about - it's like that horrible image just triggers the overload senses. In the States, the media kept showing those planes crashing and the towers falling over and over and over again. Even in slow motion, set to depressing music, or they'd turn up the sound of people screaming, or they'd dub George Bush's speech over the images. Over and over and over, as if seeing it the first 50 million times wasn't enough. It was like the media saying, "we'll just keep showing this over and over again and maybe people will get numb to the idea" and for a while, it was just too hard and too depressing to turn on the television and hear all this banter while people were dying. I don't think anyone who was in New York and who was there will ever get numb to the images, and I don't think anyone in Madrid will soon forget what happened - and sadly I think the UK has a long road to hoe during the recovery process. But the UK is a strong nation and they have lots of support, they'll get through it.



Seeing what happened yesterday opens up those old wounds. It's terrible, everything that happened. But I am so glad there hasn't been any footage of the explosions as they were happening, at least not that I've seen. That would be too much to bear.

Yeah they were also showing footage of madrig yesterday and you cold literally see the bomb exploding..i hadn't seen that before but that just made me feel sick in my stomach :( :?

watchting the 2nd plane was really bad but, if you ever saw farenheit 9/11 and at the beginning of the film they black it out and only play audio from ground zero and all the panic thats going on....and then you hear the 2nd plane crashing....i just totally freeze up.......

I can't eat and can't sleep.....

I am shocked. :'(

I have stayed to London 1 year for study english language and I went to travel there 5 times.



I went to there last year.

I love London.

On 9/11, I woke up and turned the TV on for my morning news fix JUST as the second plane hit. Talk about an unwanted start to the day.

Same here (except it was about midnight over here). My sister called out, I ran to the tv and saw the reporter talking about the first plane crash, then saw the second plane fly into the other tower. The news cut back to the news room and the reporter didn't know what to say. I don't think I stopped watching the TV until well into the next day when I finally had to go to bed. I couldn't believe my eyes.



I don't want to incite an argument or offend anyone or anything, but did anyone notice how calm and level headed the London people were? It was amazing, they were all calmly walking home or even to work, everyone doing what they could to help out. And the emergency crews seemed to be right on top of it all getting each area cleared out and ambulances in and out quickly. Even the UK news was alright - there was no blatant baseless finger pointing, they never went "it was Al Qaeda, those dirty arabs", they didn't show old footage from 1991 of Afghani people dancing in the streets. They just showed the facts, saying stuff like "it has the hallmarks of an Al Qaeda attack, but we can't be sure" and being careful not to over-sensationalise it. I know it would be a completely different story if it happened over here...

Well thats exactly what i said...i mean , respect to Brittian and the British for handeling this so well...if this would happen in Amsterdam it would be a different story for sure..! Altough the London Newspapers to day had headlines like "BASTARDS" and stuff...but all i can sayy is : SHOW THE SPIRIT! Dont let them get you down London!

psh. my dad heard about the attack. he now thinks that the US should invade syria :( .

jesus tittyfuckin christ....



that's it whirly, we're adopting flamingdead

8O :D finally!

Its horrible what has happened, what I find most disturbing is that there is still people trapped 150 foot underground that cannot yet be got to, think what hell it must be for anyone who may still be alive down there. I really do not understand what the terrorist think they will achive by attacking innocent people. My heart goes out to any victims of his horrible attck aswell as my smpathy for there families. I still havnt herd from my friend from london but im hopeing she is safe.



My Dad works in London and therefore is there every week day, its hard not to worry, but if we worry to much we are letting them win, we cant stop in fear as that is what they want.



I think the solution to the problem is tracking down those responable and making sure that extreme muslims terrorist are dealt with properly, aswell as other terrorist. Lets not fuck about, these people are very brutal and cowardly towards there victims, surely we should playb this card against them.



I find it sad that many innocent muslims are getting the blaim for the stupid acts of a minority, but the religion must take responsibility and distance itself from these extreme acts by backing the goverment. I don't know what the solution is in terms of catching OBL, but I really do think that we should step up the search and give a few nasty heads a good kicking.

i was not in NY in 2001 I was only a senior in HS .. so i was not in London at this time either..





this is just sad

Manchester Piccadilly station evacuated today - Bomb squad called in to perform a controlled explosion!! 8O 8O

that is officially fear, our number one enemy.

8O 20,000 people evacutated from central Birmingham? Shit! The authorirites must have been worried about chemical attacks or something. Luckily nothing happened though!!!

I have been out sailing for almost two weeks and missed the whole thing. It felt really strange and surreal when i first read about it on the internet almost two days after the explosions.

I have ever stayed in nearly portbello road 1 year for study english language....

I love portbello market and the londoners.

I love London too.



Spent plenty of time in Camden town last time 'stash and I were there, it's a good place to just roam around, people watch and look in the shops and maybe pick up a few things because you can get some goods for pretty cheap.



Last time I was at Portobello Road was with 'stash, my son and my parents in 2000. My parents got hooked on antiques when they were living over there - stuff like ink wells, music boxes, plus my dad's obsessed with time and he collects all sorts of watches and clocks. So off to Portobello Road they'd go every weekend. Anyway, Portobello Road was so crowded when we were there last, you could barely move down the street. We'd duck into these antique shops which had some of the most amazing collections - but some of these shops, they had a strange haunted vibe you could feel when you walked through the door...

whirly , you have good memories as well.

:)



me,too.

I love London.

Updated news on the terror front:



The French government announced today that it has raised its terror alert level from Run to Hide.



The only two higher levels in France are Surrender and Collaborate.



The rise was precipitated by a recent fire which destroyed France's white flag factory, effectively paralyzing their military.







( :D :D :D Just kidding, Frenchies, I love yas!!!! Or should I say, je t'adore!)
