Members Lust4Life76 Posted September 14, 2011 Members Share Posted September 14, 2011 So I understand the gravity behind paying tribute to that day. I can't imagine it even when I am on a plane. But, in all honesty, why does it seem this one terrorist event that is more prevalent than others…I mean, look at the bombing that impacted Oklahoma City almost a decade ago...one of the things I remember being reported was the emphasis children were involved in that explosion. Did they even get a monument or a day of recognition? What about the compensation for all those families? And going back a little further, the wars that were fought in honor of our country not in spite of it, WWII for example, that got a monument but after 9/11? I mean sure I can split hairs, but ten years after the fact…and what do we have? Erik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members SnCCorinthos4ever Posted September 14, 2011 Members Share Posted September 14, 2011 I know that there is also a memorial for the Bali Bombings. I think that 9/11 was more devistating on a world level. Everyone that was old enough can remember where they were at that time. And that it didn't only effect American's but people around the world.

Members Kylie Posted September 14, 2011 Members Share Posted September 14, 2011 I think it's scope and world impact. People from 90 countries died. And it was the first attack on American civilians on American soil. I'm not sure the world saw anything on such a scope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
