Firstly my sympathies are with the families of the people lost, the emergency workers, and the people injured.
Tuesday 11th September will be a day the world will NEVER forget. It was the day the United States of America came to halt, and was devastated by the actions of a minority ist group.
The famous twin towers of the world trade centre in New York, the Pentagon in Washington and a wooded area in Pennsylvania-all severely damaged by the small anti-human ‘sect’ who obviously prey on people.
Questions will undoubtedly be asked in the future; how did the planes manage to get outside their allocated flight area? How did the hijackers get on board without detection? And many other questions!
It is totally unbelievable that such devastation can be caused all in one day. There are rumours that another attempt at hijacking a plane has been foiled in the USA. I hope the rumours (mentioned on GMTV in the UK) are wrong.
I should imagine that a majority of the UK (and the rest of the world) would know someone who knows someone who knows someone who was involved in someway…. Personally, my niece should be flying to the USA next week for the holiday of a lifetime. I’m just glad they never booked it a week earlier, as they were going to New York. It’s just unthinkable.
But is it right to take revenge on the Muslims in this country and others around the world? I fear not, people shouldn’t be injured just because someone of the same faith might have done this terrible act! Instead, find the culprit and deal with them accordingly. None of us can surely feel anything but disdain for the instigator of the act?
The toll is now in the thousands, and the British toll is expected to reach at least the middle hundreds (currently there are around 100 confirmed ).
Living not too far from Lakenheath in the UK, where the USA has one of its main air bases in the UK-people around here are worried that air strikes in other countries as retaliation might result in trouble in this area – I hope not. However, I think the majority of people worldwide are probably concerned about the talk of war.
I was directed to a book of condolences that you might like to sign, it is at: https://towermemorial.com
Britain holds a close relationship to the people of America, and that relationship will always be in place (hopefully). Hopefully the people of the USA will know that the British public are thinking and praying for them at this sad time.
There is so much to say, and yet so little that hasn’t already been said.
