WTC Memorial

Here we are at the World Trade Center memorial reading. There are thousands of people about, and sadly there are the conspiracy theorists passing out media and shouting out their theories; personally I don't think it's the time or place.

This is a remembrance of what happened, not how it happened. It's in bad taste that these people are doing what they're doing. Lots of pictures in the recap.

Here's Bryan's account of September 11th, 2001.

"I was on a flight home from Ireland, somewhere over Greenland or Iceland- I don't really remember which. The captain first announced that the airplane was turning around, and gave no specific details as to why. As time went on, he gave us bit by bit info until he finally admitted that the United States had been victim to a terrorist attack, and that the World Trade Center was targeted.

The airport was crazy. The media was interviewing everyone, including ourselves. The people on the ground were trying to explain to us what had happened, since we hadn't seen any footage still.

They shut down the airports for days, and told us to keep calling back to see when it was safe to fly again. A week afterwards, I was home. It was a quiet flight."

As told to me by Bryan Geraghty.
