Today is the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. I remember I was in sixth grade, between 3rd and 4th period when my teacher was asked to turn on the news. New York was in utter chaos. I remember I was confused, but not angry. Who on earth would do such a thing, especially harming and killing innocent lives. I cannot believe 10 years have passed.
Last semester, when I was in D.C., I had a chance to visit the Newseum, a museum dedicated to journalism. They had two exhibits, the Hurricane Katrina exhibit and the 9/11 exhibit. Both exhibits were hard to go through. To see people in such pain, brought tears to my eyes.
So today as I was watching the football game, I noticed all the commercials that were a tribute to 9/11 and I wanted to post these commercials on my blog. I want to take sometime to remember all those who lost their lives on that tragic day. So Enjoy!
Nice videos to accompany this.
ReplyDeleteI wonder how our coverage of 9/11 will change as more and more people who remember it pass away and more and more people with no memory of it grow up?
I'm especially interested in stories like yours -- young children watching the events on television while at school, without the approval of parents. That same decision was made in schools across America, even for elementary schools. It's problematic.
