Re: September 11th....
"British extremist" - love it. Why do we allow fartknockers like Choudary the privilige of British nationality/citizenship - arrest him and his cronies then boot them out of the country, sell his 4-bedroomed semi-detached house in the leafy Surrey suburbs and Range Rover funded by the British taxpayer and give the proceeds to a 9/11 victims charity.
I turned up for tea at my fathers house after work and both him and his spouse were stood watching 9/11 on the news and I knew straight away that something very bad had happened as my dad isnt really a TV person - the only other times I'd seen him engrossed in front of the box was when Chernobyl exploded and the Space Shuttle blew up. After an initial reaction of "What the ....?" I asked if they had heard from my brother who was in Boston for four months on a Uni exchange and had told me before he left that he wanted to fly down to NYC for a day or so - Boston being the airport where one of the planes took off from, even though I knew the chances of him deciding to visit on that day at that time on that plane were slim there was still a chance and until I heard from him later it was a worry to say the least.
There is a DVD called 9/11 made by two French documentary makers (also brothers) who were filming with a FDNY crew for two months following a rookie on his first weeks on the job. For the first 6 weeks there was no 'action' - routine things like cats in tree and they were talking about cancelling the entire project until 9/11. They were actually inside the towers when they collapsed and it is all on film - amazingly powerful and moving stuff, it will make you weep with both sadness and anger.
