Never forget those who we lost on 9-11 and we will always honor those who served in the name of justice.

Shoutouts to those brave firefighters, policemen, and everyone else who went into those burning buildings to save people. Also our troops you all are badasses thank you for your service.

Um...

If you squint, the girl chipmunk on the far right looks like she has her panties around her ankles. That's kind of hot.

9-11-08
RIP Emersyn Jayne

Date means different things to different people. 4 years ago today I was sitting in a hospital room waiting for my wife to deliver a baby we had just discovered wasn't going to going home with us. Hardest day of my life. Harder than boot camp. Harder than war.

Sorry about that Phobia

I recall that a Chiefs football was found in the rubble, and it coincided with the silence of a CP poster in New York absence.

My son is in his third week of Boot Camp at San Diego for the Marines. He was 7 years old when the towers came down. I believe 9-11 is one of the reasons he was inspired to Military service.

Man, it's on a Tuesday this year and everything. I had just started my current job only a couple weeks before. My whole frame of reference of my early weeks here centers on 9-11.

hahahaha

It was a sad day for sure. I heard a great interview with Leo Mazzone, former Braves pitching coach, this morning. The Braves played the Mets in that first game after the towers fell and he was talking about how emotional it was. That's the game Piazza hit the big game winning home run and the place went crazy and people were crying etc. It was very symbolic. He said the ump missed a solid strike three right before the home run and he and Bobby Cox just looked at each other and were like, "we can't argue that tonight." :) He said it never felt so good to lose.....

RIP

I found an old story about it:


http://www2.kcchiefs.com/news/2002/0...nter_football/

I remember how infuriated I was at Defense Intel and how embarrassed I was for my country. I hate reliving that.

I'm really sorry man. Would she have been your first child? Had any since?

I'm sorry, Phil. That had to be awful beyond words.

My story isn't as awful but none the less illustrates your point of different things to different people. Four years ago today I had to euthanize the greatest soul ever to grace the earth, my 16 year old cat Bandy. He appeared to save the day when I was deep in a postpartum depression. I had never had a cat and didn't like them (due to my mother's indoctrination) and he basically changed that. I will never be without one. He bravely fought from advanced heart and kidney failure for two years when he was given a very small window of time to live. Up until the end he was terrorizing small animals and bringing them home for me as a gift. I miss him.

Got this today...

Is there really a problem with people forgetting?

On topic I'm currently halfway through this documentary called The Woman Who Wasn't There.Strange bitch.

Thoughts with you and yours today man.

I can't even imagine the pain your family had to endure. RIP Little One.
God Bless you and yours

Wow. Never heard of this...

I always where my FDNY hat today. I got it the week following the attacks on The Twin Towers.

I dvr'd it on Investigation Discovery if you can catch it try and do so.

Cool, THat's awesome.

9/11 was CLEARLY an inside job.

It sucks that many people died that day...I can't imagine what their families are going through.

Our govt is a bunch of crooks.

Forgetting what? What is this all about?

Heres one of the Chiefsplanet 9/11 threads from that day. Interesting read.

There are no words... Not for the faint of heart.

That is a horrible thing and I am sorry for that huge loss in your lives.

Wow, that was brutal.

Shut. The. ****. Up.

There is a pretty long documentary about it on youtube as well. What a freak!!

Wow.

Please don't do that in this thread.

Wal-Mart must have made a boatload of $$$ selling FDNY garb, I remember tons of hayseeds wearing that stuff for a year or two after 9/11.

:LOL:

Amen. This is not the time or place for that garbage.

I am so sorry to hear that. I can't imagine the heartache you must feel.

In light of this day, and what it really means... we do argue about some pretty lame shit sometimes.

Horrible.

That seriously has to be the one of the hardest decisions to make. Do you jump or do you stay? Knowing full well you're going to die either way.

<iframe width="640" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/mt2kngcPXRA?feature=player_detailpage" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

jump

Respect.

Me too and I'm fairly afraid of heights. Anything is better than burning alive though. It would be terrifying to do it but the pain would be nothing more than instantanious and gone if at all... likely not at all. In some way jumping seems more like taking charge of your own destiny as well... albeit not much of a destiny.

I heard someone says "Why are they jumping" on the video. Well... think about it.

It'd be tough to just give up and jump.

Even if there is a 0.0000001% chance living it is still a chance.

E-C-W! E-C-W!

Just guessing here of course... but I can imagine it gets somewhat easier once the heat from the fire becomes too much to bear or flames start getting to you. At that moment I can see making the choice.

You're talking to CoMoChiefs, right?

A year or so ago I was driving back to my hometown from where I'm currently at - it was about an 1 1/2 hour drive. I happened to be listening to Howard Stern, and they replayed the 9/11/01 show. It was incredible. They saw the buildings hit from where they were in NYC. The entire demeanor changed instantly. Gave me chills.

From the 9/11 thread.

I would jump onto some burning tables!!!!!!

Watching the videos make me feel like a douche. I think about all the things I take for granted in life, and it really makes me disappointed in myself. I think about the people who lost everything on that day, really hit me square in the eyes.

Sure, I get that.

I wouldn't wish anyone to have to make that decision.

<iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/ULHCBsWt14g" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

It starts at 6:05.

I hope none of us are ever in that position. Can't imagine it.

Not going to lie. It didn't even dawn on me that today was the day.

you shut the **** up

:doh!:

GASP! YOU DUN FORGOTTEN!!!

Glenn Beck's show that day was amazing as well. I think it was the 2nd day of his national broadcasting career. He'll replay his tribute on the radio today. It's quite stirring.

I'm not doing shit.....maybe some people need to realize that the govt has their own agenda and we the people don't mean anything to them....if it requires them to kill people, they will to get their agenda across.

I was 12 when it happened. Remember it vividly. Stop.

LMAO yeah. I knew it was coming up soon just didn't know it was today. Busy.

Nothing feels better imo than finishing boot camp on 9'11 and having it be the same day some h0es want to **** with our country.

add: **** you conspiracy thinkers.

Great Pic

Sorry for the early hijack with my own life's drama but I thought I would report back how the day went...
Yes, I have older children and we recently had a healthy first son who is now 6 weeks old. Every previous 9-11 since Emersyn's passing has been a weepfest and difficult for my wife. It's just another day for me since I'm a dude but it hurts watching someone you love struggle. So, today was awesome. Definitely some of the pain has eased because another year has passed but having a newborn around to fill that empty spot has been amazing therapy for my wife. We'd have most definitely not had more kids had Emersyn been healthy so while the boy doesn't replace her, it does help fill that void - including the nursery that had gone untouched since her death until the boy became obviously viable and she started nesting.

Now I feel terrible about my first post in dis thread. Sorry for your loss dude :(

Demonhero lolz.

Don't worry about a thing. I don't get offended over silliness generally.

Damn sorry to hear that Phil.

Is it true that from those heights you would be dead before you even hit the pavement?

wha?

I'm glad things are looking up for you and your wife. We have four kids, but had two miscarriages along the way (the loss is similar, but in no way the same).
