The dichotomy of being on a spacecraft dedicated to improving life on the earth and watching life being destroyed by such willful, terrible acts is jolting to the psyche, no matter who you are."
I thought that was really well put... - Violent, on 09/11/2008, -7/+204Nice slant and poetic enough for me to appreciate out of the many submissions for this topic. Solemn.
- IphtashuFitz, on 09/11/2008, -3/+160This has got to be one of the STUPIDEST comments about 9/11 that I've ever heard. The crew on board the ISS were doing their regular daily scientific studies and other chores. Those do NOT include tracking aircraft in real time. AFTER the planes hit the towers and the ground crew notified the ISS crew what was happening then the astronauts took these pictures with regular old fashioned digital SLR cameras.
Idiot. - allengeer, on 09/11/2008, -13/+158pretty powerful photograph. very moving.
- inajeep, on 09/11/2008, -15/+113You are a f'n nut case. Seek professional help.
- gametavern, on 09/11/2008, -13/+106I love how all you little kids think it's cool to joke about this. ***** is real, and affected a lot of people. The people that really appreciate what this county is (The Greatest Generation) are almost all gone, and that is sad.
- Xivx, on 09/11/2008, -11/+88You Sir, are an idiot.
- inactive, on 09/11/2008, -5/+81Truthers just can't quit it. The mear mention of 9/11 and they come flocking in like urban pigeons pooping all around the place.
- Unknown038, on 09/12/2008, -3/+79wow she flew all the way to hong kong to get away from you? you must be as much of a dick in real life as you are on the internet.
- zephyrnug, on 09/11/2008, -1/+68It's hard to believe that was seven years ago. Time goes by so fast when the world is going to *****.
- liljewnbug2023, on 09/11/2008, -41/+106NASA remembers, but a lot of people forget...it's a sad thing.
- Browzer, on 09/11/2008, -11/+62Really? Has *anyone* forgotten about 9/11?
- tbredofsin, on 09/11/2008, -1/+52Simple and heartfelt, not politicized, and a unique, saddening way to view the tragedy. Dugg.
- inactive, on 09/11/2008, -5/+50first comment. really?
- coldsnap0, on 09/11/2008, -6/+50Read to 'block of wood' and stopped.
- damonic, on 09/11/2008, -4/+47"They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety."
- Benjamin Franklin, 1759 - evan3168, on 09/11/2008, -2/+45Very humbling comments made under this picture by Culbertson. The comments aren't blind patriotism, but rather more of a well thought out commentary on what took place that day with an underlying tone of deep appreciation for what we have.
- CarStan, on 09/11/2008, -6/+45some truth in TheLastFreemMans words.
Sadly there are no available ISS-photographs of Napalm-burned Vietnamese villages, or the Nagasaki and Hiroshima bombings. Imagine how terrifying that would look like - BinderGang, on 09/11/2008, -15/+50I think this picture best demonstrates how wide of a scale this was. This didn't just effect New York, this didn't just effect America, this effected the world.
- ansecos, on 09/11/2008, -4/+39Get out.
- billbugger, on 09/11/2008, -8/+42Upon further reflection, Commander Culbertson said, "It's horrible to see smoke pouring from wounds in your own country from such a fantastic vantage point. The dichotomy of being on a spacecraft dedicated to improving life on the earth and watching life being destroyed by such willful, terrible acts is jolting to the psyche, no matter who you are."
- blackprizm, on 09/11/2008, -1/+34I live a mere mile from the former World Trade Center. The photos are incredible to look at. But one thing you can't experience by these images was the smell of the attack. It was, in a word, the most disturbing and intense combination smells I've ever experienced. And it hung around for about 6 weeks while all the rubble smoldered away, like glowing coals in a BBQ pit. It was ghastly.
- tkhooker, on 09/11/2008, -3/+35Regardless of if you think it was a conspiracy or not, the bottom line is American lives were lost that day and thats nothing to joke about.
I didn't personally know anyone who was lost, but I am still humbled by the event.
I still can't wait for the day Bin Laden is caught and his execution is put on a worldwide simulcast. - MoralThreat, on 09/11/2008, -5/+37Yeah your ass got buried alright. Shut the ***** up with your idiotic conspiracy theories already.
- mrseptic, on 09/11/2008, -0/+28Why was you class cheering the murder of thousands of innocent people?
- UpperUpsilon, on 09/11/2008, -2/+30Your comment is very ironic in light of your name.
- Corey2, on 09/11/2008, -3/+31That is the most accurate description of truthers I have ever heard
- inactive, on 09/11/2008, -15/+43What's real is America's history of foreign imperialism. We've inflicted 100x this much to other nations and are suddenly surprised when some of it comes back.
- inactive, on 09/11/2008, -5/+32What an angry young man you are.
- Butter66, on 09/11/2008, -2/+24if only the little thumbs down icon let me jump through your computer and kick your ass for being such a ***** idiot
- Xivx, on 09/11/2008, -8/+30Is Digg rife with conspiracy theorists?
- inactive, on 09/11/2008, -2/+24no, this is a new test version of digg - 75% of the comments you see here are done by real, living, breathing, pants-*****-psychopaths hell-bent on digg domination.
Don't say you weren't warned. He was warned, I was warned and so were we. - pradvan, on 09/11/2008, -2/+23I think he just needs to STFU in general.
- MuffinFlavored, on 09/11/2008, -3/+24Dugg for the message not being spoiled in thumbnail form.
- IphtashuFitz, on 09/11/2008, -4/+25Nice way to politicize 9/11 there...
Idiot. - fullphaser, on 09/11/2008, -6/+26Wait, why is he being buried? The point is valid, What the hell have we learned from all of this? I mean really what have we done that will stop this from happening again, and I'm not taking about some ***** patriotism bill or a concentration on brown people. What I'm talking about is what have we done to actually change security? What have we done that is any good for national security?
- DragoonWraith, on 09/12/2008, -9/+28*sigh* I should not have looked at that photo. I knew too many people, came too close to losing my own father in those attacks... And I had too many friends who did lose theirs. I spent the day helping out at a 9/11 memorial service, but I was able to avoid the mental image that this photo gave me.
I'm impressed by the comments from the astronaut. Very well said.
By the way, I've dugg down and reported all of the conspiracy theorists as offensive. Simply put, they are, in the worst way. As someone who watched the smoke and ash from the towers float over my house, for these people to use their deaths as a tool for contrarianism, to bolster their own low self-esteem, and to attempt to troll others and lord their own self-ascribed intelligence is simply, truly, disgusting. - Culyt, on 09/11/2008, -6/+24I think people *should* forget, its not natural to keep dwelling on a tragedy. People need to move on, its not going to be possible while the media and government keep banging on about it using it as an excuse to rob you of your rights.

It's funnier with a picture. - r1y23, on 09/11/2008, -2/+19Although I will agree that this joke was made too soon, I like your sense of humor.
- FredFredrickson, on 09/11/2008, -6/+23Not to belittle what happened, because it was truly a significant event in the history of the United States, and the world as well, but this photo really makes you think about how small of an event this was in a geographical sense.
- CATSCEO2, on 09/12/2008, -2/+19***** BAD PEOPLE WHO DO BAD THINGS!!
- victorycig, on 09/11/2008, -8/+24I almost got through the day without crying...
- Imsirion, on 09/12/2008, -9/+24I seriously read this as Nascar Rembers 9/11.
- liljewnbug2023, on 09/11/2008, -3/+18Not completely forgotten, but not given the respect it deserves. Some people assume that since it was 7 years ago, it's not that big of a deal anymore.
- bman85, on 09/11/2008, -6/+21Cliffz... your a complete moron. How does it feel to be a complete moron?
Those "countries full of people who would love to watch you and I beheaded on their national TV as American Infidels - for no reason than we are Americans." just don't exist, you are pigeonholing an entire civilization just because of the action of one extremist group.
You are our extremist crazy and i am ashamed that you are a member of our country. Have you ever been to Iraq? Iran? STFU then. - MoralThreat, on 09/11/2008, -2/+17Good point.
- cliffzdude, on 09/11/2008, -4/+19I pretty much mentally blanked out what today means until I got home from my work day, otherwise I may have choked up while sitting at my workstation.
Alas tonight I tear up, as I remember those innocent thousands of people who died at the hands of evil men. - CosmicJustice, on 09/11/2008, -0/+14Pearl Harbor day was a big, big deal in America for two decades. A lot of vets wore black armbands on Dec 7th into the 1960's. In 20 years maybe we'll tone it down a little.
- rankftw, on 09/11/2008, -0/+14this is so true, i live in scotland and can remember everything i done that day. just got a shiver up my spine writing that sentance, was a sad day indeed.
