On this 9/11, in #gratitude #3Goodthings #ThreeGoodThings

Grateful I returned home to my family 23 years ago.

Grateful that people still remember and reverently pay respects to those who were lost.

Grateful the #WTC was rebuilt, not as it was so to ignore or forget what happened, but bigger and better, acknowledging and in homage to those terrible events.

The world changed that day and not for the better. It’ll never be the same, we must go on.
#NeverForget #911 #HudsonValleyNY

Photo shows a 911 memorial at the New Hackensack fire house in Wappingers Falls NY. Flags are at half staff beneath an impossibly blue sky ( a sky just like that on 9/11/01) 3000+ American and firefighter flags are planted in the grass surrounding the memorial, symbolizing those who were lost on that day, and who were lost since due to 911 related illness. Two stone pillars cite the date and 'Never Forget". A piece of bent steel from the debris of the WTC is at the centerpiece.

Erinnert ihr Euch noch was ihr an 9/11 gemacht habt? Wo habe ihr die Nachricht des Terroranschlags auf das #WTC mit bekommen? #911memorial
An dem Tag war ich gerade in eine Videothek, der Inhaber hat Nachrichten laufen, und ich suchte einen Film. Nebenbei hörte ich was vom Flugzeug das ins WTC geflogen ist. Mein erster Gedanke das klingt spannend, was für einen Film schaut der sich an. Es dauerte einige Zeit bis ich realisierte das ist kein Film das ist real.

TIL that Minoru Yamasaki who designed the World Trade Center #WTC was born in #Seattle to Japanese immigrants and went to Garfield High and the UW.

He designed the Science Pavilion for the World's Fair in Seattle in 1962, that became the Pacific Science Center #PacSci (the nation's 1st science & tech center, also TIL).

He also designed the Rainier Tower.

Fun fact: law required that the Fair's buildings be used as govt warehouses after the Fair. Yamasaki said no.

Täällä ei taida tai muistaa, että olin New Yorkissa työmatkalla kun kaksi tornia romahti lentokoneiden törmättyä niihin. Se on kokemus, joka ei minulta unohdu koskaan. 11.9.2001. Kävimme torneissa katsomassa maisemia ja ihmettelemässä niiden korkeutta 9.9.2001. Näimme hotellin ikkunast a kun toinen torni savusi ja toisen seinä yhtäkkiä räjähti.
Jonkin ajan kuluttua katsoimme TV:sta kun tornit romahti. Olimme alunperin varanneet huoneen hotellista, joka oli lähes tornien vieressä. Onneksi se jouduttiin muuttamaan ja olimme vähän kauempana.
Poliisi tyhjensi koko hotellin ja ihmettelimme mitä tapahtuu. Kun lähdimme hissillä alas hissi juurtui. Oli tosi jännä tilanne. Juuttumista kesti noin 5 min.
Myöhemmin näimme kuinka paljon ihmisiä käveli moottoritietä pitkin lentokentän suunnalta..
Hotellit olivat ihan täynnä ihmisiä matkalaukkuineen.
