Just say no(se)

heartbreaking

This one, I`ll never forget.

They found her again recently, hoochie. She survived and she's fit and well now.

Innocence lost, forever.

That`s wonderful news Toid. Thankyou for that

Google 'birhan woldu'. That's her name. She appeared on stage with Bob Geldof during the 2005 live Aid event.

Scotty, the image you posted (below) makes me want to cry,it brings back many memories of shock, disbelief, anger, sadness and many other emotions...it symbolises utter desperation...the day the World as we knew it changed forever...

That was a fantastic moment

If I may use the term 'shook' from the OP a bit loosely, then might I suggest these?

obama inaugeration

As a young girl, this was the first world event that stayed with me.

Then this:

ROFL Blizzie, why am I not surprised

Bliz, I'm literally laughing so hard I've got tears! Ya buga

I know DD..I have the same emotions as you    He was called "the falling man" He had a name, he had a family, he had a life..torn from him like many others on that awful day. It must have been horrific for them. Too early to leave this world, but I truely believe they are at peace now. That gives me hope that the next "world" is better than this.

Blizzie

Scotty I do hope they are at peace too.I think 9/11 was a turning point in History, nothing was to be the same after that awful day This is probably a defining moment for me as I guess it is the moment I truly began to understand the War on Terror and what people are capable of to suit their own agendas....it made me realise that these things don't just happen in War Torn Counties, as with 7/7...

...I shall never erase the images of that day from my mind, I don't think it is possible, I had tears in my eyes when you posted that picture...to think, a Family, watching the whole horror unfold must've recognised their loved one

The pictures of people leaping from the Towers stir most emotion up in me, I'd like to believe they all died immediately with no suffering, these pictures just show the utter loss and absolute desperation they felt...

She's a monkey isn't she, tsss, and before the watershed as well

There was a programme about it (called The Falling Man) in which they tried to identify who he was. Not as easy as you'd think. They finally concluded it was a chef who'd worked in the Windows On The World restaurant, but for a long time before, they'd thought it was someone else.

What clinched it was his black trainers and, in some of the other pics of him falling, his orange t-shirt is visible under what is probably a white chef's smock. His brother recognised the t-shirt - and him.

No trace of his body was ever found though. The violence of the building collapsing into rubble claimed it, and many others.

OMG Deman, that is so terribly sad It must've been heart- wrenching for the photographers/ film crews who were there, capturing these images, but unable to do anything to help....

It's a weird thing, DiD. The photographer who captured that shot said it felt unreal, because he was viewing it through a lens. Then one newpspaper used it, huge, the next day - and there was immediate outrage because it was seen as just too private and tragic a moment.

Thanks Deman, for giving me the story behind the picture, so sad

It is a very private and tragic moment, though I guess we have to see images like this to help us understand what we are up against and the pain and suffering on that fatal day.....**no smiley to convey my emotions**
