Sept. 11: Grief, outrage on Twitter on 9/11 anniversary
The power of a single photo. A Toronto Blue Jay's memory. Outrage at a Kardashian promo during a moment of silence. People remembered 9/11 in different ways. Here's a look at what people were saying online.
- What do you remember most from Sept. 11, 2001? Tweet your memories to us @TorontoStar.
@TorontoStar only time in my life i have experienced complete silence on the ttc. all passengers reading the extra edition and crying
@TorontoStar The moment I realized that those 'things' that were falling off the building were actually people jumping to their deaths.
@TorontoStar I was at York U and heard from my walkman. It was surreal knowing of the attacks while most around me were blissfully unaware.
@TorontoStar Watching the second tower come down LIVE while people were still focussed on the first tower. Unreal feeling
I took this photo 11 years ago today, just as the South Tower began to collapse. Now trying to ID the subjects. http://pic.twitter.com/wbCwBgpc
One of the scariest days of my life on 9/11... Never will forget and keep all the ones affected in my prayers!! #SafePlace #Heaven- Blue Jays catcher J.P. Arencibia
i watched the towers fall and some of my friends lose their fathers. join me and @Sept11Memorial in honoring them today. #Honor911
@TorontoStar such an important moment in history that I was alive for. And Rosie's piece is an example of stellar writing under pressure.
I am going to write today. And work out. And remember. And LIVE. Sometimes that is the best tribute. #september11- Kardashian interview or moment of silence? Not everyone was honouring the anniversary the same way, as this tweet explains:
Apparently NBC didn't air the moment of silence for 9/11 today. They instead opted to show a Kardashian interview. #StayClassyNBC- Their decision met with much outrage online:
The #todayshow needs new producers... how can you not even honor 9/11 today and even worse have a kardashian on there. awful.
‘Today’ passes on 9/11 moment of silence soc.li/IQyY2QY Total disregard and opted for trash instead. Way to go Today Show.- The Toronto Star covered the 9/11 attacks extensively. Here are a few of our front pages from that time.
This is the Star's front page of the #Sept11 evening edition paper. What do you remember most of that day? #Remember911 http://pic.twitter.com/4IbsteSd
