The People's Lounge



I'll personally never forget that fateful day... working from home, I watched it all unfold right before my eyes, on the television... it was horrifying. My favorite American city... my favorite buildings... all those people.

Tell us about what you remember... where you were, what you saw... what you felt... as a person, as an American, as an international citizen...

Blessings, Wil/TPL

9-11 is indeed, a day no american will ever forget, that is why it is very important to know what really happened. Recently, I discovered a site that provides the evidence of what really happened. The site is www.americaninquirer.com. I recommend it to anyone, who is trully interested in the events of that day
That day as i remember, i was home preparing to go to class at the C.J.R.C, ( COURT PROGRAM ). By the time i reached class, the discussion about the events of the World was taken place. In disbelief, it was a very humbling experience, because the concern for others began to show itself among those of us that otherwise may have been written off as selfish, self-centered, individuals of the court system. The silence alone, as we watched over the TV., gave the counselors a new perception. That day i am certain we all left with an adjustment and conscious thought for others, as well as a message, as we closed class that day with a prayer.
I am a Nicaraguan citizen, despite living so far away I was not able to stop my tears at all that pain, horror and death, but most of all my tears were of anger and helplessness to see how few criminals had taken the life in your hands of so many innocent people as if they were God, it's incredible to levels so low that it can reach a human being, but the most painful for me was so much loss of life without reason, without justification, the pain of having lost so many people Parents, mothers, sons, brothers, friends, God has in his glory to all these people that their lives were cut short by some unfortunate criminals and help heal the wounds of their families and the entire American people, my sympathy and my love for all that brave people.

9/11 has really stayed with me. I was sonly ten when it happened but I can clearly recollect coming home form school and seeing the image of the smoking New York skyline all over TV. And then when the second plane struck I knew that  , that particular day would be part of history.

I Vs. We: The 'Heart' Of Our Political Differences

Egyptians Prepare For Historic Presidential Vote

More than a year after its revolution, Egypt votes for a new president on Wednesday and Thursday. The race is wide open and none of the 12 candidates is expected to get an outright majority. If those forecasts prove true, a runoff will take place next month between the two top vote-getters.

'It Worked For Me': Life Lessons From Colin Powell

If you're looking for advice on leadership, it's good to start with a four-star general. In his new memoir, former Secretary of State Colin Powell offers advice and anecdotes drawn from his childhood in the Bronx and his military career — and reflects candidly about the lead-up to the Iraq war.

After helping the Boston Red Sox win the World Series, pitcher Curt Schilling could do no wrong. Then news broke that his video game company had chewed through a $75 million state loan that it's struggling to pay off. Now, Rhode Island officials are moving to protect taxpayers from what appears to have been a very bad investment.

Former Taliban Stronghold Faces The Post-U.S. Future

In 2010, the southern Afghan town of Marjah was a haven for the Taliban and drug traffickers. Today, after a massive effort by the U.S. Marines, the Taliban have fled and the area is relatively peaceful. But many are concerned about Marjah's future once American combat forces leave the area.

Exoneration List Shows Patterns In False Convictions

While we assume our judicial system occasionally makes mistakes, until recently no one had been tracking the number people in this country who are convicted and later exonerated. Now the National Registry of Exonerations has begun compiling these cases. Audie Cornish talks with the registry's editor, Samuel Gross, about some of the group's findings from the over 2,000 exonerations they've compiled.

Is Al-Qaida Dropping Clues About Planned Attacks?

Al-Qaida has had a habit of putting out subtle hints about attacks it's planning. In the wake of the recent airline bombing plot that was foiled, officials are looking back to see if the group telegraphed its intentions.

School Bus Driver Who Saved Students 'Was A Hero'

On Tuesday, family and loved ones in Chowchilla, Calif., remember a school bus driver who many consider an American hero. Thirty-six years ago, Ed Ray was driving his regular school bus route when it was hijacked. Everyone aboard was driven 100 miles, forced into a storage van, and buried alive. Audie Cornish speaks with Lynda Carrejo-Labendeira, who was on the bus that day.
