I watched the movie this week called United 93 about the plane that went down before getting to the white house. I don't care what anyone says, those people were heros. |

Going into NY City on the ferry we look south and we see a geat big open space, on the southern end of the city, where 2,750 people were murdered by religious zealots. At one time we kidded about the design of the buildings 2 big boxes that we would kid and say the Empire state Building came in one of them and the Chrysler building in the other. Sometimes at night they shine lights up to fill the space that the buildings occupied. It makes you remember and we get angry again. |

That's why I like that last drawing so much, Snowbird. It was titled "Rebuilding" when I got it. It took me a while to get what it represented. sunday |

| I just saw the movie "United 93" for the first time on cable the other night (9/11/07). As far as movies go, it is excellent, especially in its pacing, starting slowly and very gradually building up to a tremendous frenzy at the end. No one can know for certain exactly what took place onboard that airliner, this is one particular movie director's interpretation. However based on what little evidence we have from the phone calls, the recovered radio transmissions, radar flight data, and a few eyewitness accounts in/around Shanksville, PA, one can piece together a reasonable probable account of an attempted passenger takeover, and what that might have involved. This movie does a great job of putting you on that airplane with those people, and with me, it does conjure up feelings of anger against those who would purposefully deprive innocents of basic liberties in the name of their selfish faith. |

I watched it too on 9/11. If the movie was pretty accurate, then I think it had have taken a great deal of bravery to do what they did. |

I had a customer in the Trade Center and it was a scary place on a windy day. That building moved, I mean it really moved. I coulden't wait to get out of it. When the building first opened they had a big problem on windy days with the elevators. The elevator shaft has to be straight and true for the high speed elevators to run correctl without getting stuck. With heavy winds the shaft bent with the rest of the building. |

Why haven't we rebuilt those darn things yet? If its a memorial that's wanted, rebuild the buildings and make them 10 feet higher with a huge, rotating, luminescent fist, with its middle finger extended, on top of them. |
