There are no words, just feelings of grief, incomprehension.

If hugs could mend broken hearts, my arms would be reaching across continents and oceans.

My deepest sorrow and sympathy to everyone affected - which must mean half the world by now... I hope we don't go to war over this. It will only make things worse.

Nora Casey, Ireland and Georgia

From Lyon, all my condolences to new-yorkers

This must have wrenched a hole in the American heart. No words can express. From one Yankophile who's never been there and still wants to go, to all Americans everywhere; s, condolences, and deepest sympathy.

There are no words. It's only now beginning to sink in.

Looking at the pictures of people jumping from the WTC made me realize that thousands of people dead means thousands of individuals whose lives have come to an end. As Le Petit Prince would say, they tamed me.

Deepest Sympathies.

I am absolutely shocked and stunned....there is immense grief in my heart. I am unable to comprehend the meaning of all this, but my heart goes out to those who have lost their near and dear ones in the tragedy. May they find strength to come to terms with this. And those who lost their lives, may they souls rest in peace. Today, it seems, they are at least in a better world than the one they have left behind!!

The world and we who live in it can never be the same.
The loss, the grief, we feel will never go away.
We weep, we mourn, we listen, we live
The dance moves on, but the rhythym is broken

How people can be so monstrous is beyond me.

Deepest and most sincere condolences from everyone working here in the h2g2 offices. It is an honour and a privilege to be able to provide a place where people can talk and comfort each other.

Peace. That most of all.

May I, on behalf of The Post Team, also send deepest sympathy,not just to the US, but also to the citizens of all nations who have lost loved ones or been affected by this terrible deed.
May you all find solace amongst friends, whether by physical or written means, and know that the thoughts of millions are with you at this time.

To all the victims of this horror and my fellow Americans, I express a profound sense of regret and sorrow that we cannot simply turn back the clock. To say that I am truly sorry for the loss and grief you are experiencing would be redundant by reviewing all the things already said. The rest is silence.

Words can't express who many thousands of people around the World are feeling or suffering, our thoughts are with you...

My prayers and condolences to the families that lost someone in that very awful tragedy that rocked not only America but the whole world.
Death to those cowards that started this very shocking event.

To all the US citizens and those who have 'loved and lost' through this horrific act of terrorism. I really didnt know what to put, words fail me, so ive decided to quote some words from a popular song over in the UK.

'Walk on, walk on, with hope in your hearts,
and you'll NEVER walk alone-you'll never walk alone'
