Hmm, I don't know much about it.  Oh well.  Bureaucracy on those things has always sucked.

Yeah, they had that problem, like 5 years ago. As far as I know, thats long been a thing of the past, and the people who needed the money have had it a long time. Somehow I'm sure Ewm knows otherwise, and will site some old BBC/Al Jazeera source to claim it.

I can't be sure... no time to look it up... but a couple of months ago I THINK there was a controversy about paying the victims of September 11th; some not getting the whole amount. Don't chew me out though... as I can't remember properly. If not, the last were payed on June 16th, 2004 as a fact. However... those who have died of lung cancer, emphesema and other diseases caused by fall out from 9/11 have NOT been payed yet (deliberations are in progress though). Incidently, the families of victims of the Oklahoma City bombings keep bringing up a petition to be payed as well.

It was my birthday, i remember coming home from my party and just dropping everything and sitting glued to the TV. The 11th of september will be remembered and continue to be a topic of debate with people for a long time, people will make links and others dismiss links, thats just the way the world works.

I was unaware that compensation was being given to the families.

Good to see you back, CDP.

I actually found out about 9/11 online.  I remember the moment pretty clearly.  It wasn't very special, but boy do I remember it...

Since we are on this train of though... I was sitting home sick, watching TV when all the stations changed about a large airplane accident... which was amended some 25 minutes later to an attack. Pretty horrifying.

The same thing happened with me Dom. I came home (at about 1pm UK time) and learned of a huge accident, which was horrifying enough. I think I actually saw the 2nd plane in real time through someone's camera, which (needless to say) was deeply shocking, as we all knew then that this was no accident.

I remember ware I was.

I was sleeping end my then room mate woke me up and said a plain crashed in new york. I said thats nice let me get back to sleep then she said no the plain crash in a billing a I asked a 2 seater then I heard the one that hit the pentagon fly over head. I rain to the TV and saw the WTC being I changed the channel because I thuot it was a Ad But their it was again.

I know it was Alkaid the second I confirmed what had happened. I remember being shocked at the fact no one stopped this attack. Than I felt angree at Ben ladion and thout at that time he needed to be taken out. I supported bush for the a very short time until I started to see on his handling of the wake of the attacks.

Dwelling on the past will only give you wherry's. Fixing the problem so it NEVER happens to ANY one again is where we should alcate our energy.
