do you think that is funny. i lived in the bronx when it happened, i could see the smoke. it was a horrible day, and to even reference it like that is crude and tacky.
-------------------------------
now that my rant is over here it goes.
ours is liberation tower, it is a testement to the men and women who lost there lives in the revolution of sorrow, a time in hegstorian history we do not want to revisit. it is 2,000 ft tall, and is made of reinforced glass and steel. it is the "capitol" of our nation, our senate meets there as does all the branches of the government.


I agree.

i just dont understand how people can say stuff like that. even pretending, its just wrong. i still get the chills when i watch videos and when we watch shows about it in class i do get a little tear at points, and i know alot of people can say the same thing.


I cried. I do not cry. Ever. Things happen and I am saddened but I do not cry. For a week after 9/11 I cried. Haven't cried since then.

it was horrible, i remember being picked up from school, and everything in chaos. my mom was terrified. it was horrible, i know that day will be stuck in my head forever now.


Me too. I remember that day, morning to night like it was yesterday. My grandmother lives about half a mile from the Pentagon and said her building shook when the plane hit. I am about 20 miles away from the Pentagon. I was in DC later that day and it was nuts. It looked like the city was getting ready for war. Never before (and luckily since) have I seen it like that.

i hope nothing like it happens again. it haunts allot of us. i wasnt very old but the day is still vivd in my memory. i was 7 but it still seems like yesterday. ive been on other forums where people say to get over it, but until something as big as that has happens where they live(god forbid), they wont understand. now if i went on youtube right now and watched a video of it, id say i would get a tear and i would definitely get a chill.


I was 20 and at work when it happened. They sent us all home. Went to a co-workers house to watch the news. They said all planes were grounded yet planes were flying overhead. Later in DC there were HUMVEES on every major street with rocket launchers. Now Most of the time DC looks like a normal city. Doesn't act like one, I know, but it looks like one. That day it did not.

new york wasnt either. i dont know if you saw the daily show response to it, but that was exactly how we all felt. i think we would have agreed to nuke anyone if the government had said it was them who did it. it basically justified everything and anything in our eyes. but like you said the city was in a state of war, now i lived in the bronx, so we werent on the island but it was still chaos.


Oh I believe you. Island or not, the Bronx is very close to Manhattan.

yeah it is, just a quick trip over the tri-borough and your there. but what i hate is how nothing has been done on the site, and alot of us dont like the new building being built. we say rebuild them, but 20 flours higher(trumps suggestion actually).

Built as the central piece to a huge regeneration and reinvestment project for the Capitol and surrounding region - Westfield Tower opened it's doors to the public in late October 2008, in time for many of the worlds winter festivities; which were celebrated and capitalised upon with great success. The building boasts a 345-degree (vertical) viewing angle from it's top observation walkway on floor 100, visitors are able to see the entirety of Reks'Libar as well as out into the Libar Sea Channel and on the southward side - see the beautiful rolling hills and woodlands of the Capitol region.

A new branch of Rekaej Hotels occupies floors 99-91, able to offer 200 luxury suites with all the 'mod cons' one would expect from a five star hotel and is regularly used by visiting business people to Westfield Tower. The floors below Rekaej Hotels Westfield are primarily used as office units, home to several international financial companies and organisations. Large, secure conference rooms (operated by Rekaej Hotels) are also present throughout the office complex - these units occupy floors 90-18 of the Westfield.

The Eksperimentia National Library and Technology Museum have re-housed in the Westfield too, spanning 12 floors (floors 17-5) in total between them and home to more than 260 million unique items including 78 million catalogued books, 43 million research papers and 4 million individual artefacts of technological history. Beneath these culturally-focused floors is an open-plan shopping mall home to individual retailers, 3 restaurants and several fast-food/coffee shop/tea house eateries - spread across floors 4-1.

On the ground floor a large reception area exists for visitors to the Westfield to be seated or to provide assistance if needed - this floor is also host to the Westfield Tower Control Centre, a secure series of rooms where Security, ICT Support Services, Maintenance and Management are based from. 6 floors of safe, security-patrolled parking are underground... completing our little rundown of Westfield Tower - thanks for listening!...

The tallest buildings in Iraqialand is Parliament Towers in Medusa, completed in 1964. They are 57 floors tall, if you count the 7 embassy floors

When it gets completed, the new tallest building, moving the capital city from Medusa to Lotus, the ecomonical hub of Iraqialand, is called The Freedom Tower, and will be 183 floors tall.

Now, to show my nation's tallest building on an island!

Burj Al Lotus

On June 2, 1989, in Lotus, construction began on an artificial island, and the nation's tallest building on an man-made island, just 40 miles off the coast of Lotus, and with that, a long bridge, called Burj Al Lotus Bridge had to be built. On March 8, 1991, the island is complete, and soon, they began construction on (you guessed it,) Burj Al Lotus. On April 23, 1993, the exterior is complete, but the interior was completed on November 10, 1999, and on December 31, 1999, Burj Al Lotus opened it's doors to the public. It is 181 floors tall, and is a nice 5 star hotel. Until 2009, it was the tallest building in Iraqialand, but the division seems odd...

Thanks for the rundown.
