Wow! That really put's it in perspective better for those who haven't seen it in person.

Wow. That's really something. My husband went to NY City last week, and his plane flew over the site. He said it was unbelievable. He also went to the platform they have set up to view the site. It was very hard for him to go there, but it was something that we thought he should do since he was going to be in town. He had gone to NY a few months before the attacks and had gone to the top of the Trade Center, so it was really hard for him to see it again. I can't imagine what it must be like living there.

Me neither - just terrible - and on that note, here's a good one it's about Rainbow Bridge - Pups - but you can put cats in too!

On the morning of September 11, 2001, there was an unprecedented
amount of activity at the Rainbow Bridge. Decisions had to be made. They had to be made quickly. And, they were.

An issue, not often addressed here, is the fact that many residents
really have no loved one for whom to wait. Think of the pups and who lived and died in hideous puppy mills. No one on earth loved or protected them. What about the many who spent unhappy lives tied in backyards? And, the ones who were abused. Who are they to wait for?

We don't talk about that much up here. We share our loved ones as they
arrive, happy to do so. But we all know there is nothing like having
your very own person who thinks you are the most special pup in the
Heavens.
> >
That Tuesday morning a request rang out for pups not waiting for
specific persons to volunteer for special assignment.. An eager, curious crowd surged excitedly forward, each pup wondering what the assignment would be.
> >
They were told by a solemn voice that unexpectedly, all at once, over
4,000 loving people had left Earth long before they were ready. All
the pups, as all pups do, felt the humans' pain deep in their own hearts.

Without hearing more, there was a clamoring among them - "May I have
one to comfort?" "I'll take two, I have a big heart." "I have been saving kisses forever."
> >
One after another they came forward begging for assignment. One
cozy-looking fluffy pup hesitantly asked, "Are there any children coming? I would be very comforting for a child 'cause I'm soft and squishy and I always wanted to be hugged." A group of Dalmatians came forward asking to meet the Firemen and be their friends. The larger working breeds offered to greet the Police Officers and make them feel at home. Little dogs volunteered to do what they do best, cuddle and kiss.
> >
Dogs who on Earth had never had a kind word or a pat on the head,
stepped forward and said, "I will love any human who needs love."
Then all the dogs, wherever on Earth they originally came from, rushed
to the Rainbow Bridge and stood waiting, overflowing with love to
share - each tail wagging an American Flag.
