It is actually frightening, as I came across this post, just after I have finished watching a programme about London bombing. Some parts of the programme were about 9/11 and it doesn’t matter how many years later we are watching, these scenes are absolutely horrific. Innocent people, totally unexpectedly lost their lives. I don’t think we will forget that day.

Of course September 11 evokes other emotions. I’m sure everyone reading this remembers that horrible morning seven years ago. Sadly, I think people are forgetting that day, and all those people that died such tragic, horrible and pointless deaths. It’s difficult to wrap our minds around the magnitude of death and destruction. Forgetting is easy. Remembering is painful.We have to remember.I thought one way to visualize the sheer quantity of loss would be to look at a complete list of the victims. I couldn’t find a list in anything like a text file or spreadsheet. Most memorial sites have the lists broken into pages and you lose a little of the magnitude.**Steve´s last blog post..The best Canyons

Well I sure didn’t forget. I have family that live in New york and I’m happy it wasn’t them that died, but I’m sorry for those of you that had lost someone on September 11,2001.

Anniversaries do serve a purpose. It’s an institutional way to remember important events. But, the reminder should really be that we need to remember every day of the year the events we institutionalize with annual anniversaries.

One of my dear friends lost her brother there. Frank De Martini was working at the World Trade Center that day. I had met him a few years before when he joined us for a week on a river float trip. We were not particularly close friends. But it doesn’t matter. Frank was an American who lost his life to the radical Muslim movement. In these tough times, we need to remember that battle continues to rage. And, we need to continue our vigilance for the memories of those who have lost their lives and to protect our secular society.

Let’s remember that every day of the year between now and the next September 11.

So many have started to forget that tragic day. The list is sober reminder of the lives that were lost. Living in Washington D.C., I see the daily reminder at the Pentagon, but the list somehow makes it even more real.

Very nice post. It’s great to see so many people (and the news) are still remembering 911 and all the lost lives.

I can remember exactly what I was doing that morning. I told my wife that it was a Tuesday. 9/11 is one of those days that everyone includes in their memory banks. This is quite a list of people. Thank you for writing a post about this tragedy so it will stay fresh in the minds of not only Americans but the whole world.

Like many of us, I remember exactly where I was and what I was doing on that morning 7 years ago…the workplace (only an hour from NYC) basically shut down in the aftermath of the attacks. And I thought it ironic that, if you put a little more space between the middle 2 columns of names in the spreadsheet, and look at them from a distance, they almost look like the Twin Towers…thanks for this, Jay. We will never forget.

As a Canadian, I would like to express how impressed I am by the support that America has shown for the victims of 911 and their families.

There’s a lot of rhetoric in the world against Americans; much of it justly earned by America’s governments’ foreign policies. But nobody can critizise your citizens for the support that you have shown to these people.

it’s not about nations, or governments. It’s about the people. That impresses me. You should be proud, as people and as Americans.
