Is this still a big deal in America? I was reading on Reddit about someone actually being upset this week. I don't get it, if your friends of family weren't directly affected, that’s different - but if not, isn't that a bit much?

Like in the UK they still have remembrance day to mark the end of WW1. To most people it's irrelevant now but they do the minutes silence out of respect for everyone else. However we don't really have days to remember various terrorist attacks that have occurred.

Also is it US wide or more of a NY thing? I can imagine 3000 people dying in a single City will have had widespread impact on New York, even in a city that size, everyone probably still knows someone who was affected?

To some it is a big deal. I personally know NYPD who worked 9-11 at the Towers and the aftermath.

So yeah, it's still a big deal for them. And, the families were affected by it as well. Just as we have members here who have been impacted by the war in Gaza as well as with Iran.

So for those folks at least, it will always be a big deal.

This is a new video for sure. Most of them are from the ground.

It now looks like the end of American civilization and the start of the Chinese Century.

All empires come to an end, and that point has been reached for the USA. The US Empire has burnt through its power and wealth far far faster than any other empire in our history but then that is what happens when you waste your money fighting wars in the middle east.

You can argue it was this incident specifically, and the follow wars that followed from this incident that the end of the beginning of the American Empire's power, and the beginning of the end of the empire with the Chinese about to take over. The Americans spent some 6 trillion fighting all manner of unnecessary wars

Presidential candidate Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) claimed at the presidential debate last week that the wars in the Middle East "have cost us trillions of dollars." That's true: the U.S. has spent $2 trillion since 2001 directly designated as war spending. The number rises to $5 trillion or $6 trillion depending what exactly is counted, such as increases in the non-war defense budget, homeland security spending, or the future costs of veterans benefits.

A lot of money that could have been spent infrastructure in the USA, and schools and education etc...

btw - lets not forget. The death of 3,000 Americans led to the deaths of 4.6 million people, virtually all were Muslims ..

Nowadays that is a contested claim. Is it the USA empire or Israeli / Zionist empire. Sacrifice is all for the USA / West, benefits are only for israel.

I concur with you. USA fighting wars in Afghanistan and in Iraq was a foolish mistake.

Watch: 'Just crying'- What Americans remember from 9/11

The BBC asked people in Washington DC what they were doing on that day and how the events on 11 September 2001 changed the country.

www.bbc.co.uk

A pivotal day in history. Much that concerns mankind now is considered relative to that event.

No, for the general public 9/11 has been milked to the maximum by politicians, media, military and industry. It is an exhausted issue and is receding from the public consciousness.

For the families affected by the event of course it's still a big deal.

Evening of September 10th I received a phone call from my mother.

Dinner with my sister's father-in-law was cancelled. High-level Federal government official who was told to stay home in Colorado and not attend a meeting the next day in Washington DC. He was supposed to visit us the following day.

There were THOUSANDS who were warned to not go to work at the World Trade Center on 9-11 (looking at you Ludnick) or cancel their air flight that day.

Yawn!!!! What is more important and being suppressed is the role of Saudi Arabia and the CIA in 9/11.
