rafaelmfernandez Posted September 9, 2011 Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 Due to "lack of room," NYC Police Officers, Port Authority Police Officers and FDNY Firefighters are not "invited" to the 10th anniversary of 9/11 at Ground Zero. Funny - they weren't invited on that day in 2001, either - they just "showed up" and became our heroes. WTF! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aitor Posted September 9, 2011 Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 Maybe that's because if there is any attack the emergency services can be ready for respond, but anyways yes, I found a bit disrespectful considering that more than 400 or about it ( I think, I'm not sure) firefighters died.

goog Posted September 9, 2011 Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 gotta make room for all the politicians,both local and federal,who realistically had nothing to do with this tragedy (scum bags) and probably only view this as a great photo opportunity .

rafaelmfernandez Posted September 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2011 Hey all Ive put a nice memorial on the WTC mod page here. At the end there are the new photos remember 9/11 today! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voodoo_Operator Posted September 13, 2011 Report Share Posted September 13, 2011 That's funny. I ran a search on this page, and the word "family" (or "families", for that matter), can't be found anywhere on this page.However, I'm pretty sure that first responders were not invited because the event is for the families of the victims to remember the ones they lost on that day, and that the area cannot physically accommodate more people. Period.If you think the "lack of room" excuse is lame, do the math: 2500+ victims... All of these people probably had husbands, wives, daughters, sons, boyfriends, girlfriends, mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers... How many people is that? Is the site really big enough to accommodate thousands more people? And then why not invite the survivors as well? And the victims' friends, who sometimes almost count as family? Choices have to be made sometimes, and I believe it's selfish to not respect that.As far as I know, there are other ceremonies planned to honor emergency workers. It's not like they're completely forgotten. Does it hurt that much to let the families mourn their lost ones in peace, on the anniversary of their death, on the site where they disappeared?/my two cents 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newfoundking Posted September 14, 2011 Report Share Posted September 14, 2011 I have to say that that was the most sensible post here, from Voodoo that is.Space restrictions are a big thing, especially when dignitaries, like the president are coming to dedicate the memorial. They didn't want to let the place pack, because then there is a higher chance of not being able to stop something if it goes wrong. Assuming ten thousand people showed up in addition to the say 50-100 dignitaries, the area gets full real quick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
