clubmouse Posted March 12 Report Share Posted March 12 that is the dumbest comment i have ever heard, having two lights pointing into the sky will not make the terrorists any more or any less determined to wipe new york and the rest of america off the face of the earth, the lights are for remembrance jackass, hey, with a brain like yours you can run military strategy for the taliban Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magilicuti Posted March 12 Report Share Posted March 12 i think its a good idea. they have to do some sort of memorial for 9-11. if someone wanted to attack nyc or the usa again they will try lights or not. and would you think the government would let the same thing happen again? how weak would the government look.

fuclubkidd Posted March 12 Report Share Posted March 12 i hope to god that u did not know anybody that perished 6 months ago. the lights signify a path to heaven which is where the souls of all the heroes of 9-11 went. its a shame that some1 from the NYC area would even think to say that its a bad idea. think about what u just posted, think about what happened on 9-11, and then think about the true meaning of the beautiful work of art that now shines over our great city.May all our heroes R.I.P Etienne!

berniec Posted March 12 Report Share Posted March 12 Looking at it from simply a security standpoint- the Empire State Building is lit up ever night until Midnight, dont you think it would be a much better target to aim for then then looking for a a few spotlights while flying? All of this is actually rather pointless- if a terrorist were to hijack another plane, all that is needed it to punch a set of coordinates (latitude/longitude) into a GPS driven auto pilot system, and the plane will map out a route for the 'pilot' just like the Nav systems in new cars do...so lighting something up dosn't make anything more of a terrorist target.Bern Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clubmouse Posted March 12 Report Share Posted March 12 yea, because the number of posts I have really makes a difference when talking about 9-11, and fyi, no money is being taken away from victims families to pay for the lights, and just because i was down in delaware when it happened doesn't mean that i didn't want to be there helping out any way i could, and while i was here, i spent every day for a month raising money for the 9-11, and twin towers fund, so why don't you shut the fuck up, to say that you were the only cper "risking your ass" at ground zero implies that no one else on this board gives a shit, and that is where you are dead wrong, we all had friends involved and we all care, so don't think you're some big shit when you're not, looks like i got all your lame ass responses covered bitch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mzevolution Posted March 12 Report Share Posted March 12 The lights are a tribute to those who lost their lives and those it has affected. I'm 100% positive there will be a perment memorial when all is said and done: anything else would be unamerican... Now i want you two boy to shut up and make up...... :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bertoccino Posted March 12 Report Share Posted March 12 hey i can see the lights from my dorm room~ pritty cool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
breaksny Posted March 12 Report Share Posted March 12 No complaints here. Don't take this the wrong way, but it's better than just looking @ a hole in the ground, if only cuz it provides some hope potentially as well as a sense of memorial.

crxtacy Posted March 12 Report Share Posted March 12 okay guys... this is ridiculous .. why are we arguing about the remembrance of those that perished... fine it might be an eery memorial, but ground zero is still torn to shreds and no real memorial can be built until the new buildings are being built... i live in jersey city and every day driving on the pulaski skyway and seeing something missing brings a tear to my eye.. literally every day... tonight was my first time coming home from school and actually being comforted by those lights... it brought a different tear to my eye. and i was there helping out too so tony wasn't the only cp'er well actually on the jersey side coz they wouldn't let us cross the river Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

breaksny Posted March 12 Report Share Posted March 12 I @ least am not saying we shouldn't have a sombre memorial, as we do. If that's how u wanna mourn and remember, go 4 it. I think having an alternative that has a more optimistic compliment to said somber symbol of rememberance is a positive thing though. It provides a hopeful message that something can be built on the tragedy. Life springs from death if you will, a theme that goes back over a century to when Walt Witman was a journalist/poet here. It probably goes back further than that. And if there were ever a time we need such a message, it's now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dusted Posted March 12 Report Share Posted March 12 ok dude talk to me when u have more than 200 post. WHAT KIND OF STUPID ASSHOLE COMMENT IS THAT? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neena1979 Posted March 12 Report Share Posted March 12 I thought shining two lights was a really good idea. It represents the two tall buildings that once gave NYC it's beautiful skyline. The lights shined higher than all of NYC showing that America rose above the hate and was blessed with the power of unity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a_jenkins Posted March 12 Report Share Posted March 12 I think it's a great idea but poor execution. They pretty much look like glorified spotlights. Should have done it up with lasers like the Luxor in Vegas. Also from Queens, the lights look white instead of blue. Anyone else notice that?
