[quote=Anonymous]I turned on 60 Minutes last night and they ran a piece from a couple of years ago about the FDNY on 9/11 and beyond - it was a good piece with a number of guests who were kids of FDNY members who died that day and the kids went on to join the FDNY themselves. One of the firefighters who was interviewed was a woman who survived because her mentor and friend asked her to switch jobs the morning of 9/11 and so she wasn’t on the engine that responded to the initial calls. She spoke about her fears that the world is changing so fast that the victims and survivors of 9/11 are being left behind and forgotten.

My usual morning politics show opened today with a shot of the memorial at ground zero and a brief mention of the anniversary, then on to sports recap and into politics.

Honestly I feel that this nation squandered the opportunity that was presented by 9/11, especially when you consider the political situation that currently exists. I cried pretty hard watching the 60 Minutes piece and remembering how things were in the immediate aftermath of the attack and thinking of all that has happened since. It is a very sad reality that the attacks of 9/11 were among the most effective terrorist actions in world history, for the lasting negative impacts they’ve had on the country they were targeting.
