Thanks for posting Barb. I remember many of them, some I've never seen, most are touching.

I cry every time I see the one with the firefighter in Oklahoma city.

The world is a grim place sometimes. Thanks for the link.

In the summer of 2007 I was in Oklahoma City attending a conference and we visited the memorial one evening about 9 pm. It was a very somber and sobering experience seeing all of the memorial markers (lighted chairs for each person who perished) around the reflection pool. Couldn't help but bring a tear or two to your eyes.

I remember alot of them, forgot alot of them also. The stopping time is a Bulletboys album cover.

did not know that mooneye. thanks.

These are some horrible sights, looking at the vulture looking at the little boy is as bad as it gets.

I totally agree Richard. Really brings home how very bad things can get for other people.

Barb. Really gets to you after looking at the pictures. Rember most of them from years gone by, but you can't help but cry every time I see those starving kids.

actually i have never visited the memorial. i visited the grounds a long time ago when i was younger with my grandpa. before the memorial was built.
i remember 4-19-95 like it was yesterday my elementary schools was 5 miles from there on robinson the same street the murrah building was on

WOW 55. What a horrible experience that must have been.

my mom checked me out of school early, just didnt know just a crazy week it was

I was most touched by the vulture and the child---when are we going to do something about Africa???/

The pics that affected me most personnally tho was the 9-11 towers---I was a UAL pilot and watched the smoke from a hotel window at the first attack/bombing. For 9-11 I was eating breakfast and turned on the news channel--after a few minutes when the second airplane appearred I knew the flight path wasn't where it should be and knew it was going to hit the second tower---I have checked my log books and I flew the UAL planes many times and i Couldn't bear to chech the crew member names to see when and where I had possibly flown with them--I know I knew them, I just don't want any specific memories-----

Africa is, I believe, is a can of worms. Every time we try something it ends in disaster. A lot of people say that we should mind our own business and in part I tend to agree.
I can understand your feelings toward the aircraft and crews involved in 9/11. Whenever a DC9 or DC10 goes down I tend to cringe as I worked on many of them.
