One Year After September 11

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the everybody's-doing-it dept.

One year ago today, at 9:12 eastern, we posted World Trade Towers and Pentagon Attacked amidst the events of that day. Since Slashdot is really just a discussion site, I felt the most appropriate way to handle this anniversary is to simply do just that. I hadn't read those stories since the day it happened, and I really am at a loss for words. But I'm sure many of you won't be. And thanks to OSDN for turning banner ads off for the day.

  1. flags at half mast... by jptxs · · Score: 2, Redundant

    They just lowered the two flags outside my office window to half mast. The US flag and the NJ state flag. I didn't expect that. I just keep trying very hard not to cry, and that's making it harder. Technology seems very trivial this morning.

    One was an uncontrollable natural disaster.

    The other was a deliberate act of evil and hatred formed and nurtured in the hearts and minds of our fellow men.

    There's a difference. If you don't get it, then no amount of explaining will help.
