11 September, 2001

This week on Talking Point we look back over the last 12 months to the attacks on the World Trade Center in New York. h2g2 was a focus for shock and discussion in the weeks following 11 September, 2001. We would like to invite people who contributed to our Talking Point of last year and those who have joined h2g2 since, to let us know how they feel one year on. What, if anything, has changed? Is the world a safer place or did the events in New York serve to underlie the fact that we are all potential targets for terrorism?

Please remember that for many people, this is still a very sensitive subject. Please respect other people's views and emotions.

What were your memories of 11 September, 2001? We want you to tell us:

  • Where were you when you heard about the attacks on the Twin Towers?
  • How did you hear the news?
  • What was your initial reaction?
  • Has your world view changed and if so, how?
  • Do you feel less safe then you did a year ago?
  • What should the Trade Center site be used for now?
  • Will you be marking the day and if so how?
  • Or do you think that it is time to move on?
    • 1Thanks to Jimster for the graphic.
