huntercarbine Posted September 12, 2009 Report Share Posted September 12, 2009 i was at work and the following shift told me about it. it had only just happened, and i got home to every channel on tv showing the same feed, tower 1 collapsing. i do not like watching the footage, many people are dying and they are helpless, thats what i dont like. i'm not squeamish(at all) but my heart truly goes out to the victims and there families. i'm glad with the war on terror we(uk) stepped up immediately with the states. say what you want about the yanks but they are our brothers and only true allies in the world............jamie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digger Posted September 12, 2009 Report Share Posted September 12, 2009 Jamie, are you sure ? Given the support the colonies have given us I think the Americans are far from our only Allies. Australians did not need Tobruk, Canadians did not benefit from D day and the support from troops in the sub continent was amazing. Take a trip to the states, it will open your eyes to just how blinkered they are.

Peter De La Mare Posted September 13, 2009 Report Share Posted September 13, 2009 Was watching Sky News after arriving home and saw the news flash. Then returned to work and was involved in the largest Disaster Recovery implementation that either city has seen as my clients offices were totally wiped out in the event.
