Can you believe it's 20 years? I watched one of the documentaries the other day and it still made me cry

Part of me has difficulty believing it though I was glued to the set.

I sat by our ponds watching the fish .......... after those events I considered having all 4 pets pts in case we were caught up in an incident - my worry being that no one would be here to care 4 them  :'(

We were on holiday in France, no tv but heard on the radio  :'( when we went into the town the following day we saw the newspaper photographs.  It was difficult to believe what happened 20 years ago and it still is today.

Hope we never see the like again. Scenes that will stay in our memories forever.
I read today that Biden,Obama & Clinton went to the memorial for 9/11 and Trump?............commenting at a boxing match,where he apparently still bleated on about a rigged election  >:(

Don't give people air time?  Like showing 'photos of the Taliban sitting on US/UK tanks etc. last week?  It's what these types crave.

Unbelievable where the last 20 years have gone to.
So, so sad. Horrific.

And now it’s starting again.  :'(
Let’s hope not! 🙏🏼

It’s a very solemn place now the site of the twin towers.  We went a few years ago, very busy but very quiet.
