Six years ago, the World Trade Center fell. No, to say that it fell would be an insult to everyone’s memory. It was attacked and destroyed. I don’t think there’s a need to elaborate — I’m sure that the memory is still fresh in people’s minds, American or otherwise. This post’s purpose is not to delve into the issues of politics or even global terrorism, but to take a bird’s eye view on how different people of varying viewpoints remember the 9/11 incident through the use of blogs.

Here are some blog posts I’ve come across while trolling for 9/11 posts.

These are only a very small percentage of blog posts about 9/11 in the blogosphere. There have been many opinions about celebrating the 9/11 anniversary, both positive and negative. There are some who think that 9/11 is only just another day, but for those who have been directly affected by the incident, this post is to commemorate everything you’ve lost (and everything you’ve gained) during that fateful day back in 2001.
