9/11 from Space

[sTr]

Quote:NASA has released this terrible image of the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center, as captured by Frank Culbertson—the commander of the International Space Station at the time. His words that day:

NASA Wrote:Our prayers and thoughts go out to all the people there, and everywhere else.

Click on the image to zoom in. You can see downtown Manhattan—south, where the towers were—, with the East River and Brooklyn on the top, and the Hudson and New Jersey on the bottom.

In the anniversary of the attack, let's take a few minutes to reflect on the stupidity of all violence, and think about those who fell that day, and everyone affected by these attacks and any other coward terrorist act in the world.

That's incredible, honestly. I sat last night rewatched the footage taken by New Yorkers on the History Channel last night. Powerful stuff, I did a lot of crying. Watching the people jump from the building is quite possibly the saddest thing ever for me.
Sorry, no matter what, I can't joke about September 11th. That day changed my whole life forever. My brother has done 5 duty tours in Iraq/Afghanistan since then. My fiance has done 3 and goes to Afghan for 4 this spring. His cousin has done 3 also, and my cousin 2. It just changed American culture in 3 hours time.
