Just curious you guys surprised or no. I personally thought there would be a pretty good chance of a terrorist attack today i mean it has been 10 years, it's now or never right? And they found plans on the computer of osama was it?

I'm not very surprised. There's still other dates that would be nice for an attack.

Not surprised at all, security everywhere in the US was probably tighter today than it usually is.

I kinda feel the same way. I heard the construction is stronger, but I don't know if any building can withstand such force. :S

Not at all. It would be too obvious for a terrorist to perform an attack on sepember 11th. I do think another major attack will happen and that it'll happen when we least expect it.

I was actually hoping for a failed terrorist attack during Obama's speech.

If any Terrorist Organisation had the means and capability to attack the US in any Meaningful way then they wouldn't risk implementing it on a day when security is at its tightest.

A big one? No. It wouldn't be logical for an organization to spend a lot of time and money to orchestrate an attack on a day when there is an extreme amount of heightened security.

Maybe by some lone, random, symbolic nutjob, but nothing huge. There's probably a lot of attacks curtailed that we don't know about though, small ones that is...

No, I'd be more surprised it something happened. Why would it be now or never? Is there some kind of deadline for terrorists to strike?

They're not the exact same towers and from what I hear only one of them (The one world trade centre) is going to be as high up as the previous two.

No not at all. It's just another stupid ploy by the media to get people on their toes.

It's the one day of the year with the most security measures up and running. So no, I wasn't surprised.

No. I'm not surprised. But, they'll hit us as soon as we let our guard down. "Now or never" isn't in their dictionary. But "opportunity knocks" might be.

I disagree. You can't live your life trying to appease terrorists. Building a business building in the heart of a business district is not just asking for it. You can make arguments about foreign policy, but you can't argue against a country trying to live its life.

I am not suprised... it's just the US government and everyone else being paranoid. Besides, who said that terrorists had to attack on the anniversary of 9/11? As far as i'm concerned, any time is a good time to strike...

I'd be lying if I said no. I live in Washington DC and while I won't listen to the weather, it is hard to ignore that the potential is there for something to happen. I am thankful it didn't.

I've always found it interesting how people are rather gullible when it comes to these events, the irony of it all is that america it self is a stolen land where bankers have been governing for the past 36 years and has one of the highest poverty rates... but lets focus on our skewed points of views on terrorists which of course are crazy people who do things with no deep cause what so ever. Why can't people realise that America has their hand in every pocket and is robbing everyone blind including its own citizens and you people think that the terrorist are the bad ones?... ever wonder that it may be retaliation? I'm surprised that the millions deprived Americans haven't bombed the white house and wall-street them selves.

I am not surprised at all, why would they wait till the tenth anaversary to attack again while we expect it, I would be less surprised then if an attack were to happen today while everyone is off guard.

Of course not.. Statistically we have a greater chance of getting struck by lightening then being killed by a terrorist.. 9/11 was a fluke largely brought upon by incompetent security measures.. Hell even besides the point, lets say if a similar event happens.. You honestly think passengers will stand by now when a small group of men try to take over the plane with box cutters.
