Today is the day that will reflect a year since last September 11. I'm sure everyone has something they would like to share with the AO community, and to reduce the ammount of threads caused by this. I decided to create this thread. Please post anything you would like to share that is related to September 11.
Outcast Parody "Sorry Bin Laden"
I would like to dedicate this post to Jeremy Glick and George Howard.
Jeremy was one of the people who helped bring down flight 93 in Pennsylvania.I had met Jeremy in my Judo club and known him for 10 years. He died a hero and i will always remember him. To a great man and a great friend, your memory lives on forever in my heart as well as others hearts. My condolonces go to his family, they lost a great man.
George Howard was my neighbor for many years. He was one of the first to get killed in the attacks. He died a hero. His funeral was the most amazing display of patriotism that i have ever seen. Over 2000 Firefighters and Police came to that wake as well as most of the town of Hicksville New York. Your memory will never be forgotten.
The rest of this post is dedicated to all the rest of the people who had perished in New York, Washington DC and Flight 93. The day which brought the United States together. Your memories will forever live in my heart

I would also like to dedicate a post to all those whose lives were touched by this tragedy. While I did not lose anyone close to me, I lost brothers and sisters in Christ. My heart goes out to all of the families who lost friends, fathers and mothers, husbands and wives, and even children. Hold on to His unchanging hand and he will lead you through these turbulent times.
Peace and Blessings.
I'll dedicate this post to my journalism teacher from last year. Today is her birthday, and it is also the day that the bad thingies happened. It would totally suck to have a b-day on this date, because every time her day of the year comes around everyone else is going to be mourning and sulking, understandly, of course. I just feel bad for her, so here's a post. :)
I would also like to give this post in the memory of the victims of September 11th. I remember coming home and swiching on the T.V before I started my homework, I was shocked at what happened then, I am still now, It does'nt seem like a year since it happened.
The day after the attacks I spoke to my friend who's dad goes over to the states quite a lot and regulally had meetings at the top of one of the towers. My friends dad had just got back from a visit over there. He felt lucky to be alive and he was upset because he knew some of the people there from his visits.
Anyway I would like to say my heart goes out to the people's familys of the people who died, They have to suffer everyday because of a few evil people. I hope that one day the people who caused all this pain and suffering are found and they get what they deserver.
I would like to dedicate this thread to all the people who was left behind as a result of this tragedy,as well as all the search and rescue teams who did an excellant job.My prayers and thoughts are with you.
regards
v/man:)
My post goes out to :
my friend Mike, whom I lost in this event. I'll be at his empty graveside in my hometown later this month.
My entire family in NY who have lost friends on this day
All those who witnessed the horrors of this trajedy
My friend Bill who as a seminarian went to ground zero to help in the search and rescue as well as console the traumatized.
To the rescue workers for the horrors that they have born witness to.
To all those that have lost in this. To all those that continue to lose in this.
I wish you all well. Peace out. All due respects to those that have lost.
I would also like to share something my company did that I thought was kinda nice. Recently, after being re-inspired by the courage of the police and firemen during 9/11, the company decided that we should do something for our "local protectors" to return a little of what they give to the community every day. They asked the local fire department if there was anything that they needed that could possibly make their jobs any easier. They responded stating that they were in need of a thermal imaging camera, used for locating people in areas of buildings where visibility is low or impeded due to smoke and the like, which runs about $12,000.00 or so. My company decided that they were going to buy this camera, but we - the employees - could donate towards the cost if we wanted to do so. We have presented them with the camera, and they were very appreciative, as we are of the service they perform everyday protecting human lives from harm. I thought this was a thoughtful gesture to honor those that risk their lives for us everyday. This post is dedicated to the Men and Women of both Police and Fire Departments abroad. Thank you.
Since I work at an airport. . . I would like to dedicate this post to all the Pilots & Crew members who died that day. And to all the other pilots & my friends who fly. . . . . I thank you for being so vigilant and continuing to do your job after this terrible act.
Also. . . . I would like to dedicate this post to my cousin who was in the Pentagon when the plane hit. I have no idea if he is alive or dead. Since he works for the CIA. . . there is no record of him. And even if he was alive. . . I will never find out. I just pray he is ok.
I remember where I was the day the planes hit. I was at college. I had just got out of class when I passed the breakroom where the bigscreen TV was. Everyone was huddled around it crying. I had no Idea what was going on till I entered the room and heard the news. I rushed over to the airport where I work. . . . It was like a ghost town. They had blocked all the roads & were only letting workers get in. It was swarming with Cops & K9 units. :::sighs:::
Well. Its one year later. . . .but it feels like it was just yesterday when this happened. I ask that everyone whould have a moment of silence for al those who died that horrible day.
[blur]YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTEN! ! ![/blur]
I would like to dedicate this post to my father, Jonathan R. Copeland and my grandfather, Jorge A. Copeland. May they rest in peace and carry on to heaven of being great people to me and to others as they have been. I love you guys, and this entire post is dedicated to them. I want to edit this post and "correct" it since their were problems. My dad was in the first plane that crashed and my grandfather was near/exiting the WTC and died because of falling debris and whatnot. Sorry for any confusion
I'd like to dedicate this post to the people of New York and those who died in the WTC. You know, a lot of familes lost loved ones. I remember 9/11, and watching the Towers collapse on T.V. The phone lines were totally busy with families calling to see if their loved ones were fine. Fortunantly for me, my cousin was still in his apartment late for work, otherwise I too would have lost someone. It's hard for me to reflect on what has happened over this last year but one thing I can say is that though Terrorists may have shaked this country, we will always stand united.
I want to dedicate this post to Jason Copeland of the above post. Having lost a parent and a grandparent at the same time is a terrible burden on anyone. I cannot fathom your sense of loss Jason, but I join you in mourning your loved ones. May peace be with you for all of your days.
I must admit that before today I was growing weary of hearing about 9-11. I listened to a radio show that had some of the victims testimony on the way to work this morning.It brought back the memories...the anger at the terrorists....my pride for my country and the realisation that we cannot forget this horror. We must track down those who will resort to murder and scare tactics to fulfil thier goals. I also want to offer my sympathy to my friend JC.
I am in total shock. I want to thank EVERYONE such as Allenb1963 and AntiHaxor who have helped make this sad day for me, a better one. This, IMO, is sort of what AO is about and that is having members who will help and ones who will be friends and make you feel better, even on a bad day. Thank you both! -- Jason Copeland
I just want to say god bless the victims and their families. Hopefully when our kids get older they wont have to deal with this type of violence. Im saddened to see what happened on Sept 11/01, but i am also happy. The reason for this is because we have shown what courage, and dignity america has, and that no matter what happens to us we will always be ready to take it on.
I was interested to see the photos of the people who died and the names of people who were missing... And to my surprise there was no Coplenad on the Missing/Dead list [http://www.cnn.com/SPECIALS/2001/mem...me/page18.html] So then im wondering... Why would anyone fake a post about his dead father and grandfather who supposedly died in WTC... For the points, Im not bitching, In fact Im pretty sure I will be banned for this post.... Just thought it should be brought to lightQuote:

y0 JC, im terribly sorry to hear the news of that. it would take millions of threads too express the feelings of sorrow towards all that were lost. tragically. actually, i dont think threads are enough, thats why we have memorials etc... JC, be strong bro.
Interesting ac1d.....
listen, in response to Acid's thread and what is being discussed on IRC about JCHosting... weather or not he lied doesnt really matter, if he gets a kick out of having people feel sorry for it and gets hard because he gets greenies then let him do it, does it really matter? You all know who is respected in AO weather they had antipoints or not... so it REALLY doesnt matter. Why not just leave him alone and let him get off with this.
- Edit -
I also noticed that acid got ALOT of posative APs for it... wich proves another point... it all revolves around the stupid AP system.... thats the only reason people post nowadays.... its stupid, if you people wouldnt give negs for anything that made you chuckle the AP system would have alot more integrity. I pesronaly dont deserver 1/3 of the posative APs i have.... people just gave them to me beacuse they "like" me, or what i said was funny or something like that, i only deserve the ones where i posted something very helpfull and usefull.
Ac1d...JC's post doesn't say they were killed in the World Trade Center...??? What gives??
ac1d, they were killed, one in the plane and the other who worked right by the trade center who was near it. He worked right by it and went inside for a few and then when they had to evacuate, he was stuck inside the cloud of dust when the first tower collapsed and he couldn't breathe. I'm sorry you think I was saying it for a "sympathy" reign or something, but I wasn't.
I'd like to dedicate this post to the thousands of people that die every day without anybody knowing, without getting a memorial next year. Oh, and to my mom, because I lub her.
I wanted to say something but its really hard to express and explain or comfort the loss of life that everyone feels.. my heart goes out to those families that are hurting and to all those services that are and have worked to comfort these families. All effected will alway be remembered in out thoughts and we will always bless and respect them with open hearts.
Ermm JCHosting, I am starting to wonder here. I looked up both the United Airlines dead list and the American Airlines list. Nobody with the last name of Copeland was listed. I for one, highly doubt you would have lost both a father and grandfather at once. If you really did lose them both, then I am sorry, but for now I can't beleive you.
United Dead List: http://www.public-action.com/911/uapassngerlist/
AA List: http://www.timesunion.com/news/septe...s/american.asp
What does everyone else think?
uraloony : check the dates on those pages...they are from december 2001 and are only partial listings, they still haven't found remains of everyone that died in the tower attack. Why would anyone even joke about losing their father AND grandfather ? Ask yourselves that and have some ****ing compassion.
Hoggie: how could they not know who was on the flights? They have records of everyone who boarded that day in their computers. I am not talking about anyone dying in the WTC, for that list is not complete, but the plane list IS complete.
those pages are incomplete, they even say they are......... find an up to date page, if his father/grandfather is not on one of those....then you can speculate.
uraloony, not to be a dick but you took a very meaningfull thread and turned it into CRAP, just a load of CRAP, this thread isnt to proove anyone wrong, its to remember those lost.... and you are tarnishing their memory with negative attitude, why dont you just CHILL THE **** OUT and stop trying to put down JC on everything... if you dont like him thats your problem, dont share it with the rest of the world because im sure there are alot of AO members that dislike you as well but they dont post about it... as im sure many members disslike me. So just leave that ****ing subject alone!
And to those of you who indeed posted posative things to say and remember those lost thank you so much, you are the reason that these boards are still up...
As far as my words to those who have lost on 9-11 i am truely saddned by it, it really hurts to think about it... my friend Chris worked at the WTC but was lucky enough to be late for work just as ive heard plenty other stories just like Chris', he no longer works with that company due to downsizing but he is ok, hes not too traumitised and has found a new job, he also decided he doesnt ever want to move away from NYC.
we all need to realize and understand that we dont need a special day to come together, these 9-11 posts i now realize are just because of the terror, yet they are dedicated to those that died in those dates. we need to stop and think sometimes that others need to be memorialized as much on 9/11 as any other day. since time cannot be determinded for one, and for another of simple rememberance, remember those who died on 9/11, 9/12, 9/13 etc etc ... thats all im saying.
JCHostingAdmin. . . How dare you make such a lie. I actually had someone die in that tragic event and it pisses me off greatly to see someone make such a lie to get sympathy from people. Thats just wrong. I work at an airport. . . I have a FULL list of all the people who died that tragic day. I have it in front of me right now. And the closest name I have seen is Coppola, Gerard J. Plus. . . your story about the one who sufficated on the street from the dust. . . . .hmmm. . . wouldn't they have found his freaking ID on him? Therefore his name would be on the list. I had a little respect for you but now I have none. What you did was very very wrong.Quote:

BTW. . . this isn't the 1st time you've lied is it? I remember something about you saying you knew JP and all this stuff. Which wasn't true.
Dome:
#1 - If you notice, I wasn't the first person to mention this. Acid was. So get it straight.
#2 - Until now, I DID like the guy and supported him in IRC (ask him that). You assume so much its incredible! I even said that I was truly sorry if he did lose relatives.
#3 - He is lying, it now has been proven.
#4 - I DID NOT want to turn this thread into crap.
Can we close this thread and try to salvage what was good in it? (namely, the first 1 1/2 pages)
I am going on vacation now, but I am sorry if I have hurt anyone or whatever.
Okay, LISTEN. For the last time, I NEVER said I knew JP. All I said, was that I was going to beaver, which I did, because a friend lived there. I FIGURED that maybe I could visit AO HeadQuaters and whatnot but he said probably not. That is the CLOSEST I have gotten to remotely talking to or MAYBE meeting JP. Did I? No.. Did I go to Beaver? Yes.. Also, if you paid attention to Fox 5's broadcast of the Listing of names, my fathers name WAS on their and I have the tape as evidence. Why don't you people just mail Fox for a tape of it and then be critical after that.
As for my grandfather, he didn't work at WTC but NEAR it. He wouldn't have the I.D for the building of it. So please.. DON'T dare say that I didn't lose my father and grandfather in the WTC attacks. It does nothing but piss me off and is VERY disrespectful. I hate to break it to some people, but the News and everything even SAID they didn't have Every name of the people killed. Two people from AntiOnline, both of whom I talk to on a regular basis have told me that they lost friends and people they knew and it wasn't reported. Now, Im sorry about this post and even posting. But, if people want to try to call me a liar, I will not hold ANYTHING back. As for the people who doubt me, call FOX. Ask them for a tape of it and you will hear the lady who was with Guiliani, say my fathers name. Thank you and I hope that I'm not bothered with this again. Thank you for the people who care about it and don't want to make me mad saying that I'm lieing about my own FATHER. I would NEVER and I mean NEVER, say my father's dead and it not be true. Thank you again and I'm sorry for the post -- Jason Copeland
You've said multiple times in IRC that JP is your friend... Until he told you to stfu
PS: Sorry for bringing this up and making a memorial thread crap =(
Yeah, IMO, I consider JP a net friend. Even if he doesn't like me, I respect his accomplishments and intelligence in the computer security field and whatnot and I think he's a nice guy. So, in a sense, I would consider JP a friend.. -- Jason Copeland
Being friends is a two-way thing.... If you think your someones friend and they dont, your called a stalker, not a friend
I am not entering into this one, but here is the latest list of WTC - 9/11 victims - database updated as of writing @ 01.35am on the 12 Sept, 2002.
http://www.september11victims.com/se...ctims_list.htm
My deepest sympathies to all those effected.
PP
Well. There is another list without the name Copeland. Why are their names not showing up on ANY list we look at? Oh well. If he wants to go on with this charade. . . so be it. Peace out.
This has sadly turned into a flame war and I have decided from the PM's I got to close it so as to salvage as somebody pointed out early.
Feel free yo start another thread or tell it should be open and I will look at this agin.
