I couldn't resist checking their website for news about half an hour later and then I realised how the world was changing. Think I ended up staying up til 5am that night watching the news (including the Israeli government's heinous attack on Palestinians as potential terrorists). 9 years later there's still an unreality about those tragic events despite how they have shaped our times and bolstered a negative world view which permeates through today's politics of fear and control.Hazelhttp://www.facebook.com/home.php#!/profile.php?id=818935190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5201512384034593069.post-26393511337057480742010-09-11T04:20:31.271-07:002010-09-11T04:20:31.271-07:00I am of an age when i remember both 9/11 and jack ...I am of an age when i remember both 9/11 and jack kennedy's assasination...in 1963 i was in a club waiting for a group called jimmy powell and the five dimensions to come on stage (their main claim to fame was that a young rod stewart played harmonica) the announcement was made over the tannoy, it was a chilling moment.. in 2001 I was on a plane flying from Dubai to Hong Kong I landed at Chek Lap Kok Airport and saw the tv pictures in the arrival lounge..another chilling moment...I had colleagues working in the twin towers who luckily all survived....jolohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05716798211469251721noreply@blogger.com
