The Big Apple

[taxfree4]

Back in 1996 my youngest son turned 6 and I asked him where he wanted to go and he said "To the top of the Twin Towers"

1. South Tower looking up from West St.
2. Going up the escalator of the main lobby to the elevator banks in the South Tower
3. Looking down onto Church St. from the highest inside observation floor.

1. Looking north on the outdoor observation deck, Empire State Building is dead center.
2. Looking east to Brooklyn with the East River below and the Brooklyn Bridge.
3. Manhattan Bridge is visible to the left of the Brooklyn Bridge.

Hard to believe it was 20 years ago, that little boy just got married 2 weeks ago, man I'm getting old.

The photos and memories you made with your son are Great.

The photos of the Trade Centers are horrific.

I agree with others that not enough was done soon enough, or harsh enough.

There is no way to even think that this will ever be settled with the American people. It turns my stomach.

For "American people" - yes, it will never be settled.
What really churns the acid in my stomach?
For those masquerading as Americans or some ridiculous, divisive hyphenated version, they advocate this is "old news" and we should just get over it.

I was on a roof running telephone cables in South Brooklyn when it all happened, didn't know anything, all I remember is the smell of burnt steel in the air and there were snow-like flakes of, I guess, the building coming down.

My son had a great birthday and always reminds of how lucky he was to go there and get to the top. I used to eat at the restaurant on the top floor, Windows on the World and drank at the Greatest Bar on Earth, both on the 107th floor, christened a lot of ships there. When I was single my pockets would jingle.

And Obama says he will veto the Bill (passed by a vocal vote today by both parties) that allows families of the bombings to sue (Sadia Arabia) in court......POS

Let him veto it this way the onus will be on Congress to override then we'll see, and have on the record, who won't vote to strike the veto. Being Congress is composed of 47% lawyers this should be a slam dunk, however, Saudi Arabia spreads a lot of money around Washington so I'm guessing no.
