That's so sad

I remember this well, huge tragedy. Never forgotten

6 years ago already. Kind of like 9/11. Feels like yesterday. RIP to those who passed & peace to the families of the victims.

 

[Kyle B]

I remember the day this happened just like I remember 9/11.

RIP to all the victims.

 

[Skorpy]

That has upset me reading some of those stories

 

[BadBoy]

It is sad how terrorism has affected us all in some way.

 

[Skorpy]

I get so angry at the thought of those poor people, just like the 9/11 attack. Just going out to their normal daily lives, and this happens to them.

I will never forget 9/11...sitting there and watching it live on the news. It happened on a Tuesday. I remember the day, because I was getting married on the saturday, just 4 days later. My husband and I wanted and had a one minute silence at our ceremony.

 

[StripedCat]

I remember that, too.

RIP to all victims.

Islamic's have bad religion tatooed to their foreheads

 

[Peter Parka]

They killed people of their own religion in the attacks. Blame the nut jobs, not their religion.

 

[Skorpy]

I really don't understand those people. They are just screwed up

brainwashed

My neighbour was on the bus behind the one that blew up - she was lucky.
I feel like the words "wrong place, wrong time" are used far too often these days, there shouldn't be a wrong place or a wrong time..
R.I.P to all of the victims and much sympathy to all of the families on the anniversary of this tragic event.

I actually remember this clearly. Phone networks stopped working for about half an hour or so, and my school had us on temporary lock down because we were reasonably close to where the bombings happened..

I agree with Peter Parka - extremists come with every set of beliefs, Islamic or not.
